Rutland Anticipates Building Boom.

Although q prosperous season Is pre-.
dicted, and confidently expected, by ar
chitects and builders in Rutland and
vicinity, the boom has not started yet.
A revival Of building is generally ex.
pected in February, and after the spell
of open winter that has Just closed it
was believed that the movement might
come early this year. The cold weather
Of the past few days has given rise To-
she belief that the rush will be held up
for time, until the weather becomes
warm again
A few Of the more farseeing ones
are beginning to do business with the
architects, not merely IN the talking
line as has been going on for the past
month OF more, but are having plans pre-
pared for next seasons building. This
Is an indication that contractors viii
have an opportunity to land contracts

For some unHccountable reason there
are many who hesitate about having

The mild sentences imposed BY the

that the accused were mainly sailors

tent, Ronmania.
The accusations specified that they
participated in the mutiny only under
threat OF death b. the real mutineers
who were in Roumania and beyond the
reach Of Russian justice. Ensign and
Quartermaster Alexeyeff, who command
ed the rebel ship, escapes with mere ex-

SAVED BABY
LYONS LIFE
Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-Awful Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantile Ec-
zema Commenced at Top Of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

GOuf baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top OF his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His suferings were
untold and constant misery, In fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable Of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to druggist and got
o full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show o
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
The FIRST time in q year. Inabout ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
win be replaced by healthy one.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior to the treatment Of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny with
poor circulation, because they have I'LL
treated their stomaehs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco7
holic beverages, OF by too close contIne-
ment to home, Office on factory, and In
consequence the stomach must be treated
In q natural way before they can rectsfy
their earlier mistakes. The muscles In
many such people, In fact In every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS a result
fatigue comes early Is extreme and lasts
long The demand for nutritlve aid is
ahead oil the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return TO 1t certain
others. 1t Is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what Is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must 90 to Nature
for the remedy There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent OF the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly ia professional favor for the cure
Of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found 10 be safe and yet GER
tain In their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherrybark.
The medicinal principles residing In these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in Just the
right proportions, as In DIR Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition - and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect or this sovereign remedy
Although some physicians have been
aware Of the high medicinal value Of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as q solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
tcith alcohol.
The Golden Medical Discovery IL a
scientific preparation compounded Of the
glyceric extracts OF the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains no
alcohol or harmful habit-torming drugs.

brother-in.law, Addison G. Miner, that
she and her youthful husband had dis

with Addison Miner, in his apartments
at 30 West Twenty-fOurth street.
Miner himself said later that she
was highly indignant at the story in
circulation and had demanded to know
if he was responsible for it. She in.
timated that she thought he might have
been and showed that she was angry.
Mr.. Miner denied 10 her that he
knew anything about the report. To
the newspaper men he said that he had

Things came about one spring day
that Farmer johnson, living two miles
from the village Of Lansing. traded a
number of hogs and calves and COW
for a yoke Of oxen. Farmer Johnson
had been farmer for good many
years, but had never owned a yoke Of
oxen. He was good man and a mem
Der OF q church congregation in the
village, and his wife was known far
and wide for her gentleness and benev-
olence.
The robins were tuning up their Tyres
and making ready to build their nests
and go in for the simple life when the
farmer yoked up his oxen and hitched
them to the pillow and started in to
break the soil of 1--WE acre lot which
was to be planted to potatoes. The
oxen turned frrrow twenty rods long
and then decided to rest They were
coaxsd and argued with, but they
were obdurate. Not an hours work
was got out of them that whole day.
The May sun was shining just as
brightly and the May robins were
singing just as gayly when the farmer
and his oxen started in on the second
day. Peace on earth and good will to
men seemed to prevail all along the
une. but close observer would have
aoticed that the farmers jaw was set
and that the oxen had a defiant toss
of the head. Things developed early.
When two burrows had been plowed
across the land The oxen suddenly
started and ran away. and plow and
farmer were dragged along for ten
minutes before there was halt
When the oxen were brought out aft
er dinner the farmer was armed with
stout club. aud the light of Bunker
Hin shone In bis eyes. Perhaps the
bovlnes had premonItion Of the coming
cyclone. for they logged along in a
sober and industrious way for half an
hour before breaking out; then II was
another runaway and halt in fence
corner. They had only stopped TO
breathe when the farmer was on top
of them with his club. He also broke
forth into language. 10 dubbed and
he exclaimed; he pounded and he ejac-
uiated: he waloped and he cussed.

WILL SEND a TENNIS TEAM.
United States Association to chal-
lenge.

lenge.
4 meeting Of the challenge committee
OF The National Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion was held III New York last week
Raymond p. Little was present, and DR..
James Dwight acted from Boston BY
telegraph. Il was decided that the for
NAL challenge for the Davis cup, now
held By Great Britain, would b sent. by
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association on the date required, March
/, and the association win raise So 900
by subscription among the clubs and fol.
lowers OF lawn tennis to dcfray the ex-
pense Of the challenging team. The
Kings County Lawn Tennis Club Of
Brooklyn made the FIRST subscription of
500 and il is thought that the other
clubs in the metropolitan district will
contribute At least onehalf the 1ieces
sary amount.
Mr.. Anderson pointed cut that last
year the team that endeavored to wrest
the Dwight f. Davis cup from the Brit
ons only accepted their steamer tickets
from the association. The majority Of
the lawn tennis men believe that the as
ISOLATION should defrav all legitimate ex-
penses OF the challenging team, and that
the successful issue of regainiug the Am.
erican trophy which represents the lawn
tennis championship of the world, can
only be attained BY placing the burden
upon the players Of this country. Mr.
Anderson said further:
1T is easy for the players to say send
a team by all means, and we must have
the cup, but ii is the opinion OF the COM
mittec that it is too much to ask Of tire
men ON the team to bear their expenses,
give two or three months to practice,
and lose the benefit aecruing from bust
ness In addition to the subscriptions
Che national association will do its
share toward the expenses, All of the
prominent lawn tennis organizations in
the country will no doubt contribute to
The fund, which, ii is thought, can be
easily raised"
The committee decided that the fund
be closed as soon as the amount required
lis subscribed Frederick G. Anderson
was appointed the treasurer Of the fund,
and empowered TO receive the subscrip-
tions. A number Of the ranking play
ers have been asked TO compete for
places on the team and the list OF ac-
ceptanees win be made known next
week,
