Our Local Druggist, George e. Greene,

Many people right in this vicinity

ails them.

ate healthy appetite, make rich, red
blood and strengthen every organ I'm
the body to do it's work. 1t will drive
away every feeling of lassitude. heavi-
ness and depression, and infuse new
life and energy.
Vinol Is not a patent medicine, con-
tains no injurious drugs, but 1t is the
most delicious and valuable prepara-
ton of cod liver oil known to medicine,
without a drop of oil to retard its
work.
Mr.. Andrew Jackson of Springfield.
O., writes; Every spring for years
have found myself in a worn-out. run
down condition, with no appetite, and
before commencing the use of Vinol
was practically a dead man on my feet
l tried this wonderful remedy and
am satisfied that it has done for me
what doctors have failed to do in all
these years. l am well and strong, and
my entire system is full of vitality. AS
a tonic for a rundown tired, debili-
tated system Vinol stands at the
head"

in Brattleboro who is in this condi-
ton would try Vinol and prove what 1t
will do. George e. Greene, Druggist.

A DANGEROUS HABIT.
GIadstone's Physician Gives Warning
Against a Growing American Gus
tom.

The growing habit amongst Amer.
leans of taking a mint tablet or soma
other so called digestive after eating
a hearty meal is something that Sill
Andrew Clarke, Mr.. Gladstone's ply
stefan, advises strongly against, say
ing: 1T is absolutely dangerous tc
take into the stomach remedies which
are popularity supposed to aid in the
digestion of food"
There is nothing known to the
science of medicine that can per-
form the work of the human stom-
ach. Drugs do not and cannot di-
gest the food. They simply decom-
pose it. What can be more revolt
ing or disgusting than the thought
of taking something into the stom-
ach that is going to turn the good
food you have eaten into a mass of
corruption.
The only way to overcome indi-
gestion and its evil effects is to re-
move all irritation, congestion and
Inflammation from the stomach
liver and intestines, and Mi-o-na is
the only agent known that will do
this.
When a Mi-o-na tablet is taken
before each meal every trace of irri-
tation and Inflammation is removed
from the stomach and digestive sys-
tenn, and those organs will extract
from the food all that goes to make
good, rich blood. firm muscle steady
nerves and a sound, healthy body If
you suffer with headaches, indiges-
ton, flatulency. spots before the eyes.
vertigo. or dizziness. palpitation of
the heart, sleeplessness, or any stom-
ach trouble. get a fifty cent box of
Mi-o-na from George f. Greene. one
of our most reliable druggists, whose
faith in the remedy is shown by his
offer to return the money If Mi-o-na
does not give complete satisfaction.

ciNcH FOR HOME CULTURE.
Local Independents Defeated by a
Score of Sc to 30.

The local Independents literally haC
it put all over them Wednesday
evening by the Home Culture basket
ball team of Northampton, Mass, the
visitors running up the largest score
that has been made on the local floor
this season--56 points. The hide
pendents exhibited none of the dash
that has characterized their work IN
former games and their showing was
/ disappointing, in consideration of the
! fact that they play with Company d
| for the state championship this even
| ing. The Home Culture team, on the
other hand, showed great improve
ment over their former game here, es-
pecially in locating the baskets. In
fact they exceIled in all departments
of the game. blocking closer passing
more ceverly and shooting with re-
markable accuracy.
An unannounced feature of the con-
test was go between Boutwell, and
Doran, which brought the crowd to
the floor and came near precipitating
a free fight. What Doran did to anger
Boutwell, is not known but the latter
deliberately struck his opponent in
the face and then narrowly escaped
getting the soundest thrashing he re-
ceived in his life. 1t took at least six
men to keep the enraged Doran from
getting into Boutwell,, and several
minutes elapsed before the game was
resumed after the two had shaken
hands and apparently settled the dis
pute amicably.
Perhaps the best work for the visit
ors was done by Edwards, who con-
nected with the basket IS times His
game was entirely offensive and he
repeatedly shook his opponent, March,
and Melted the ball without interfer-
ence. Many of HIS shots, however,
were extremely difficult and We're de-
applauded. Barnes was also
a factor in the scoring while ITCHY
and Spring eXcelled in defensive
work. Stafford played the best all
round game for Brattleboro. The

If you sir, can d living make, The same from you l would not take. Good people in your town reside; They know they were not implied. The sins 1 mentioned they don't follow, The Init dog" only, sir will hollow. You say we could not, if we tried Prove to any one that you had lied, And other things you had not done, l had not accused you of a one. You seem to hold your virtues high Yet things l charged you don't deny. The charges then 1 guess were true, As they were not denied by you But one "Obseryer' takes delight To pull himself into the fight, But after he had done the same Why didn't he just sign his name? He told of things debates had done, But failed to give the name of one. If he'll respect debater's rule, He'll give the name of church or school. And then the things we all might

 And lind the people and the place; But when he leaves the names all out He leaves room for folks to doubt. l see Subscriber down at Cord Himself put in his little word. I rather think his work Is done Since he has, at Us snapped his gun. Go on and give the news, And when you have them give your

 And that's your habit of abuse. If you'll go on and do that way, And tell the truth in what you say, And keep yourself in proper fix, You yet may be two by six.
