REV. GEORGE w. rutland.
Restored to Health by Vinol and
Strongly Endorses 1t.

Prominent men from all parts of the
country are indorsing Vinol. and strong
testimonial letters from four ministers
of the gospel and several physicians
have been received within a week. Such
unsolicited testimony as this is the best
proof of merit any medicine can have.
The Rev. George w. rutland OF
Keene, N H.. writes: - have used
your cod liver oil preparation. Vinol,
as a tonic. and | do not believe there
is any other medicine that can equal
it. 1t built me UP and strengthened
me when run down and overWorked.
Vinol has done for me more than was
claimed for it."
I'VE honestly believe there is no 9TH
er remedy or cod liver oil preparation
known to medicine that has the heal
ing. strengthening power which Vinol
has, and if it fails to create strength
and health for rundown. debilitated
people. old people, weak. Sickly Wom-
en- and children, nursing mothers. and
after a severe sickness. or If it fails
to cure a hacking cough, chronic cold,
throat or bronchial trouble. or to make
those who are too thin fat. rosy and
healthy, we will return every cent paid
us for it.
Is there a sick. ailng or aged per-
son in Brattleboro who can afford TO
ignore this generous offer?' Geo. Il.

Supreme Court Decisions.

In supreme court at Montpelier
Tuesday. Jan 23, the Hardwick con-
spiracy case of state VS.. James Dun
can and others was covered in an opln-
ion read by Chief Judge j. H. Roweli.
This case is that of indictment for con-
spiracy to restrain certain men from
the work of manufacturing granite. The
defendants claimed that they were
cited before the grand jury as VIII
nesses, not knowing that they them
selves We're under Investigation Wlth q
view to the conspiracy indictments.
They further claimed that thus they
were made to incriminate themselves
contrary to their rights. The defend
ants entered a plea in abatement on
these grounds. The court passes the
plea regarding the indictment. The de-
murrer to indictment is overruled and
cause remanded. The opinion holds
that the men knew or should have
known their rights and that the in
eliminating evidence that they gave
was given voluntarily. hence. their
rights were not violated.
Judge Rowell rendered decision in
the case of state VS.. Robert Waterman.
the Victory case in which Waterman
was indicted for the poisoning of his
child. The courts decision is that the
Indictment holds and the plea of abate-
ment is denied. This plea of abate-
ment was filed on the ground that one
of the members of the grand Jury
which indicted Waterman. kellogg by
name. was disqualified from serving,
having sat on a case in Essex county
within length of time contrary to

Basketball Notes.

The high school team is booked to
play in Deerheld, Mass, tonight
The Athletics have been playing re-
markably good basketball lately and
are deserving of more generous support
from the public.
The Turner's Falls Father Mathews
are booked for a return game in Brat
tleboro Feb. Z. and on Feb. q the Fail
River Signal corps team will apnear
for the second time
Carl Ellis played with the Bellows
Falls team Tuesday evening and
helped il defeat Fall River. Ellis Is
good enough to hold his own with any
of the players now in the game.
1t will be strenuous week for the
Athletics next week. After the Bellows
Falls game Tuesday night will come the
game Tuesday night with Company D
of St. Johnsbury Friday evening. This
can be depended upon to be hum
mer.
Thomas Davies of Holyoke, Mass,
who visited Myron p. Davis Monday,
was captain of the champion Holyoke
basketball team of a few seasons ago.
Thomas Dowd, the old Brattleboro
baseball idol, was manager of this ag-
gregation and is said to have made
quite pot of money from the deal.
1t is understood that large delega-
ton of rooters will accompany the Bel
lows Falls team to Brattlehoro Tues
day evening This is a game which
the Athletics must win if they intend
to have any claim to the state cham
pionship. Bellows Falls has already
won two out of three and it's UP to the
Athletics to take the next two.

Time to Speak.

There is time to keep silence, but it
was evidently not the right time in the
case of a boy who lives in a country
town. He got splinter into his foot,
and in spite of his protestations, his
mother and grandmother decided to
place poultice over the. wound. The
boy resisted vigorously.
~ won't have any poultice, he de-
elared, stoutly.
AS the hot poultice touched the boy s
foot he opened his mouth.
"You-" he began.
"Keep still, /" said his mother, shak-
ing her stick, while the grandmother
applied the poultice. Once more the lit
tie fellow opened his mouth.
rI-'
But the uplifted switch awed him into
silence. In minute more the poultice
was firmly in place, and the boy was
tucked into bed
"'There, now," said his mother, -" the
splinter will be drawn out, and Eddie S
foot will soon be well.
As the mother and grandmother
moved away, triumphantly, shrill,
small voice came from under the bed
clothes, "You we got it on the wrong

through the advice of Mrs Pinkham,
of Lynn. Mass, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge
The present Mrs. Pinkham has for
twenty-five years made study of the
ills of her sex she has consulted with
and advised thousands of suffering
women, who to-day owe not only their
health but even life TO her helpful
/ advice.
Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham
AZ suffered for long time with female
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that / had a tumor / did not want To
submit to an operation, so wrote you for
advice. | received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day | am completely
cured. Ny doctor says the tumor has diSap-
peared, and | am once more a well woman,
| believe Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world"
The testimonials which we are con-
stantlypublishing from grateful women
esta blish beyond doubt the power of
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
| female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t is
absolutely free, and to thousands of
women has proved to be more precious
than gold.

MUST PRODUCE VOUCHERS.
p. w. Clement Wins Case Against
State Auditor.

The supreme court began its regular
term at Montpelier Tuesday, Jan. ~
all the Judges being present. de-
cision was given In the famous case OF
Perciyal w, Clement VS. the state audi
tor, Horace +. Graham, in which plain
tiff sought to gain access to the audi
tors books. which was denied by Mr.
Graham. Mr.. Clement was granted
writ of mandamus requiring Horace f.
Graham of Craftsbury. state auditor
to produce for the examination OF the
petitioner the vouchers of the state
AUDITORS Office.
The opinion holds that the petitioner
has the same right as any other citizen
to inspect public documents within
reasonable limitations. 1t further de-
clares that while certified copies of
public documents are considered as
evidence in court it is necessary that
a citizen have the right to examine
such documents that he may know
what documents or parts of documents
he desires to use. Hence. the original
should be open for the inspection OF all
duly qualified persons within reason
able limitations.
The court holds that Mr. Clement
has such an interest as entities him TO
inspection of the records and directs
that the vouchers be opened to the IN
lpection of Mr. Clement. his agent. or
attorney, The decision was by Judge
John II. Watson and consumed over
an hour in the reading. Judges Love-
land Munson and Seneca Haselton dis
sented. and owing to illness the late
Judge II. r. Start did not pass upon the
case

The Poultry Industry.

1t is a fact not generally known that
of all farm products poultry stands
fifth in value 1t is estimated that the
cash derived from the sale of poultry
and eggs amounts to half a billion dol
lars annually. Farmers. however, are
only beginning to realize the profits
that can be obtained from a well cared
for flock of hens. 1t is doubtless true
that MANY could more than double
their present gain if they gave a little
more attention to the feeding problem.
Guy H. Parker of Middletown Springs,
Vt, writes of the way he increased the
egg production of his fowls: MY hens
have doubled on the number of eggs

How to Make Money on a Farm.

Grandfather made money in his own way
but, the Men who are Making Money to-
day are not using Grandfather's Way. Sue
cessful agriculture, like other successful en-
terprises. is on different basis than it was
in Grandfather day. Large crops of the
best quality, produced at low cost, is the Sc
cret Of present day farming Successes: Thou
sands of intelligent and progressive farmers
are Making Money to-day because they have
adopted modern methods and machinery and
keep informed about the progress of agricul-
tural development A little more care IN the
selection of varieties and seeds, little more
cultivation and a little more attention to
grading will produce bigger crops OF better
quality that sell at higher prices. Little
things like these make the difference between
success and failure. Success depends upon
knowledge and knowledge can be had only
from experience or reading the experience OF

Einhtina Bovine Tuberculosis.

According to statistics recently made
public from the office of the state au-
ditor at Montpelier the state board OF
cattle commissioner, during the three
fiscal years ending July /, 1905. award
ed reimbursements for 3,161 diseased
cattle, at cost TO the state of $685.
1921. In 1908 the amount paid was
s14025.g7 and in 1905, s27,9795S. This
great increase is due to the fact that
the legislature of 1904 raised the per
centage from 90 to so per cent. paid by
the state on the valuation of cattle
killed The three largest claims paid
in the year ending last July were to
