 The ills which vex so many women at the change of life are entirely avoided or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong, and enables the weakest to pass through this trying change with the tranquility of perfect health.

FENTON'S JUBILEE SALE
COMMUNICATING HIS FIFTH
ANNIVERSARY.

Where there's push there's business.
We use the word push advisedly for 1t
is often a wrongfully perverted one. 1t
doesn't mean merely hustling in any one
particular direction, but rather general
activity all along the firing line.
One couldn't enter the store of E. j.
Fenton & Co., near the American House
and not be impressed with the fact that
here is concern started on the right
track There is evidence of push and
business prosperity on every hand.
And it's not of the mushroom growth
order either You can almost see the pa
tient, persistent effort on the part OF the
management, extending over a period of
five years. that has built up this big bus
mess And there's something more than
a struggle to get trade on the surface.
There's a determination to keep it.
Mr.. Fenton is no stranger to the cloth
ing trade in Brattleboro. having for a
number of years been with Pratt Wright
& Co, but If you ask him he'll probably
say his record begins with the opening Of
I his store, five years ago this month. II
| he's a little enthusiastic over his success
/ here you don't have to hunt for a reason,
! There are some things we can pardon in
man and one of them is a consciousness OF
| energies directed in the right channels
| None of Mr.. Fenton's seem to have had
even the least inclination to go astray.
So as to commemorate the event Of his
| five years in business, he's arranged for
big jubilee to start tomorrow and con-
tinue till January 16. He'll celebrate it
| in a manner characteristic OF the man.
| Put a whole lot of enthusiasm into II and
| put good clothing onto the backs OF his
| customers and a portion of his profits in
to their pockets. He means to make his
Jubilee a hummer, and Is looking more
at the advertising feature Of the event
future sales-than to immediate benefits.
1t is a habit he has OF following out his
well defined business policy-giving more
than the moneys worth.
In addition to making special low prices
during the Jubilee to further commend
rate the event OF being five years In bust
ness, he is going to give away several
hundred dollars in prizes and money, in
GLIDING a beautiful $3.50 Estey piano. sci
of dishes, silver tea set, gold watch, suit
of clothes, lamp. suit case, umbrella
shoes. ten dollar gold piece and all the
money contained i'm a glass case in theil
window. These prizes will he given to the
ones who give the nearest estimate to thu
number of pennies in the case. Full par
ticulars of this event are given elsewhere
in our columns today.

Metropolitan Insurance Co.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, whose annual statement can be
found on another page in this issue. is
certainly phenomenal institution, con-
sidered from almost any standpoint. In
volume of resources, volume of business,
scope of operations, extraordinary prog
ress, and splendor of results to the in
sured members, it stands as one of the
marvels of the life insurance business.
Taking all in all, it is one of the most
wonderful life insurance organiza tons in
the world.
The statistics exhibited, illustrate what
the company has wrought in it's onward
march during the last two decades, and
is so exceptional and striking as to COM
pei universal admiration and aston1sh-
ment.
It's Hberality to it's Industrial policy
holders is illustrated by the company s
distribution of Sd, 100000 of dividends
in the last six years and at the beginning
of this year they have set aside another
$500, 900 to be paid over to its policy
holders in dividends.

Found in Canada.

In continuation of the story in our last
issue, entitled Wholesale Larceny" we
copy the following from the Sherbrooke
daily record of last week:
"On Monday complaint was laid be-
fore Fl. w. Mulvena, ESQ.,, as commits
sioner in extradition matters, by Clar-
ence Nd. Berry, of St. Johnsbury, against
young woman formerly OF Bury, for
having obtained from him by false pre-
fences a lady's tailor made suit. She
was subsequently, arrested at her fathers
home in Bury by the high constable and
was brought before the commissioner
where she waived all formalities and
agreed to return to St. Johnsbury.
It appears she had also obtained in a
similar way suit of clothes for her hus-
band (who accompanied her to Canada)
from the firm of Asselin Bros, at St.
Johnsbury. A warrant was issued tor
his arrest on the charge of recei wing
valuable property, knowing it to have
been fraudently obtained.
It appears the couple were only mar
ried a few weeks. -
