Many a Brattleboro Reader Knows 1t Well.
There is a way open to convince the greatest
skeptic. Scores of Brattleboro people have
made it possible. The public statement of
their experience is proof the like of which has
never been produced before in Brattleboro.
Read this case of it given by a citizen:,
Joseph E. Jones, farmer between Williams
vile village and Newfane, three and one
half miles from Brattleboro, says: ITO man

subject to attacks of aching particularly if he
contracts cold or over-exerts himself he is
on such occasions in abject misery. When the
attacks were at their height I noticed this
weakness and aching every morning for an
hour two after arose and even when up
and walking around for any length of time
the soreness was very apparent. When a
man cannot stoop or bend without mourning

in spite of all medicine he uses to remove the

died at his home on the Putney road Sat
urday after an illness of 10 days, following

German Field Guns Unsatisfac,orv

Although adopted only a few years ago the
entire quick-fring field artillery of Germany
has been condemned, and it is to be replaced
by field guns similar to those used by the
japanese. In the selection of family med.
ieine the people of our own country have also
made mistakes. They have been deceived
time and again into trying this or that
remedy in the hope of obtaining cure but
without success. Not so, however, with those
who selected Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, for
IN it they found good health and happiness.
Better by far, than anything else for the
cure OF indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
biliousness, ehs, colds, la grippe, spring fever,
impure blood, torpid liver and female com.

It SO faithfully and why we urge you again to
try bettle this spring.

serge and mohair The latter have not
much warmth in them, but they do admira-
bly, as dust coats for travelling or automo-
billing. The linen coats are, however, more
attractive for this purpose. Taffeta coats
do not wear well, they cannot properly be
Il ken for second best nor worn other
than dress-up occasions. and they are not in
the best style for children. Fine wooden
coats for warmth and linen coats for the
dust are in much better taste.
Dark blue wooden coats are always ad-
mirable, but for the moment brown seems
a little more popular. The top coats of light
checks and mixed materials are also very
attractive.
Coat suits to be worn with shirt waists
are hardly ever becoming to girls under
fourteen. but three piece suits are shown
having a Sde-plaited or accordion-plaited
skirt and a very long-waisted bodice with
the belt coming far below the waist line.
With this frock comes the third piece,
three-quarter-length box coat to be worn
with white pique collars and cuffs. The
three-piece suit may also be made with
blouse dress, in which case the coat may
be either short or long.
Suits for boys who have gotten beyond
the Russian blouse and the sailor blouse
age are shown made up IN white and tan
liren, having Norfolk jackets and full
knickerbockers buckled at the knee. Caps
to match these costumes come with them.

band may be of ribbon. with lace or en-
broidery IN eXtredeuX, and the ruffie can
either be of lace or the material of the
gown.
Bands of stirring and putting are greatly
in favor for all thin gowns. No matter
how elaborate the design it does not seem
to suffer in being shirred and puffed: rather
does it gain thereby, and while lace and en-
broidery in eXtredeux add greatly to the
beauty of a thin gown, the shirrings and
puffings often are quite as effective and far
less expensive. However. this being an eX-
penSive age of the world, both lace and
shirrings are often found on the same gown
and the lawn gowns, and in truth the

the top of the sleeve. with an eXagger-
atedly large puff. The two puffs of I'M

any trimming on the skirt On the other
hand, a very smart gown, costing a great
deal of money. can be made out of pompa-
dour silk if expense is no object, and then
there Will be lace the skirt well on
the waist.
More and more is it evident that there is
to be a change in skirts The upper part of
the skirt fits closer than ever, with the
pleats arsl tucks-if there are any-sttched
down, and then with the tremendous flare
around the feet. Lace entredeuX is. used,
but II is put we'll below the hips, so as to
give the flare and not interfere with the
tight fit that threatens to outline the figure
TOO closely.
White and black lace are in fashion, and
for those who like rather striking effects
the black lace entredeuX on light ground
is thought very smart. The great objection
to it is that It makes too sharp line and
cuts the figure badly. which is not desir-
able, and consequently the white, which
tones in more with the coloring of the gown,
is better
The fad for the lace dyed to match the
color of the gown is another attractive
fashion, but the same effect is gained i'll
rather odd way. For instance, a gown
of pale blue with pink roses on 1t will be
lined with pink. Then the ma teral is cut
away under the lace and shows the pink
through that the effect is almost the
same as though a pink lace were used. If
