The executive committee of the Val
lev Fair association has decided to join
a trotting combine known as the Inter
national circuit of Vermont and East
ern Canada, including Newport, Bar
ton. st. Johnsbury, and Sherbrooke,
Que, and has announced the following
stake races: 2.35 pace, 2.25 trot and
2l5 pace, each for purse of $500. En-
tries to these stakes close May 10,
when 2 per cent. of the stake must be
paid. the balance to be paid as follows:
2 per cent, June 10; per cent, Aug.
/; and per cent additional from
winners. More than one horse may be
named in each class on payment of an
additional | per cent. on each nomina'
ton. All horses must be named with
the first payment, and all starters
named with the third payment. The
stakes will be divided so per cent, 20
per cent, Is per cent, and 10 per cent.
The other towns included in the cir
cult have announced similar stake
races. and the same rules govern in
each case. Entries are to be made TO
the secretaries of the several associa,
tons. Local horsemen are in favor of
the scheme and believe it will greatly
improve the track events of the Valley
fair.

HON. DAVID o. ROBINSON
Benefited by vinol After All Other
Medicines Had Failed.

The Hon. David o. Robinson, county
treasurer of Frankfort, KY, writes: 81
was very much run down from over
work, and suffered from indigestion
and severe nervous trouble. The med
icines prescribed all failed to help me,
and / could not take cod liver oil or
emulsions, as the greasy mixtures up
set my stomach. One of our county
officials told me about your delicious
cod liver preparation, Vinol, and what
If had done for him. I decided to try
it. and in a remarkably short time 1
was a well man. Vinol built me up,
cured my stomach and nervous trouble,
and I have not been so well for years. -
Our local druggist, George E. Greene,
saws: "Vinol cures conditions like
this because it positively contains in a
highly concentrated form all of the
vitality making and bodybuilding
properties of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, and
without a drop of oil to upset the
stomach and retard its work.
"We ask every rundown, nervous,
debilitated, aged or weak person in
Brattleboro and every person suffering
from stubborn colds, hanging on coughs,
bronchitis or incipient consumption to
try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if it fails to give satisfac-
tion.'' George E. Greene, Druggist.

Trinity college in Hartford, Conn. His
early business experience was in the
office of Clement q Sons, marble deal
ers, of which firm he became a partner
in 1871. When this firm sold out to
the Rutland Marble company, the old
firm organized the State Trust com
pany and Clement National bank,
which are still controlled by the hrm'
The Clement bank, particularly, which
was organized in 1883, with capital
of 100000, has now the remarkable
surplus of 100000. and its shares are
nowhere for sale.
About 1882 Mr.. Clement entered the
commercial world as railroad mag
nate, becoming the active head OF the
Rutland Railroad company in 1888;
The road at that time was in practical
bankruptcy, the stock having sold mt
one time as low rs 80 II share. This
was the preferred stock, the ordinary
stock of the corporation being rated as
worthless. After Mr.. Clement took
charge of the road he conducted II
through various vicissitudes, includ'
ing sale to the Delaware 4 Hudson
company, lease to the Central Yer
mont Railroad company, and, at the
time of the latter's bankruptcy, its
final return to him in 1896.

Mr.. Clements public life consists of
service as mayor of Rutland for two
succeeding years, during which time ne

amount of permanent work, and turn

He was in the house of representatives
in 1899, and a member of the state
senate from Rutland county In l9oo.
Mr., Clement s managers report that
hundreds of letters are being received
at his headquarters in Rutland, and the
extent of the revolt against Machine
Rule is well exemplified by the tone OF
hatred expressed for Proctorism and
the many assurances of support, some
of them from towns that have been re-
garded as Machine strongholds, that
come to hand daily.
In regard to the question foremost
in the minds of Mr.. Clements oppon-
ents, "Will he bolt9' the only answer
is by asking, in true Yankee fashion,
if the republican Machine managers
will guarantee to prevent a repetition
of the scandalous corruption of l902,
which is now generally admitted.
Claiming that he never bolted gen
uine republican convention, Mr. Glenn
ent denies the right of anyone to ques-
ton his post-convention intentions
without giving guarantee of uncor-
rupted delegates. Naturally, the Proc
tor managers make no such guarantee.

SUCCESSFUL rIRELEss COOKER
Mrs. Henry II, Miller Has Made One
That Works to Perfection.

Mrs. Henry II. Miller Of Elliot street
il one of several Brattleboro women
who have become interested in fireless
cooking, and her success in this new
culinary wrinkle has been marked. In
fact. she is so pleased with her achieve
ments in this line that fireless cooker
has become a part Of her kitchen equip
ment Mrs. Miller first became inter
csted in the art of dreless cooking from
reading in the newspapers about ex-
periments other people had tried. Fol-
lowing directions given In newspaper
article she took an old trunk and lined
il with heavy brown paper. In this
trunk she placed a covered tin con.
tanning piece of beef which had been
brought TO a boil in water, wrapping
the tin with heated newspapers. The
space between the tin and the trunk
was then stuffed with hay and feath'
or inflow placed over the top. The
trunk was then closed tightly, and left
for the night. When 1t was opened the
next morning the beef was thoroughly
stewed. Mrs. Miller has tried the expert
ment with vegetable stew, first boiling
the meat for about half an hour, and
allowing the vegetables to become thor
oughly heated before placing the tin 10
the trunk. The flavor of a stew cooked
in this way is particularly fine, accord,
ing to Mrs. Miller's idea, and the vege'
tables. while thoroughly cooked, do not
fall to pieces. The reason for this fine
flavor is the fact that there is no es.

successful in baking beans in her fire.

dishes. Instead of the trunk which she
is now using she intends to secure
small tub, similar in shape to butter

than the trunk.
