Neglected Colds Threaten LIE.

IRON INC Chacdy0 1Ta0nne.
Don't trife with cold, is good ad-
vice for prudent men and women. 1t may
be vital in the case of a child. Proper
food, good ventilation, and dry, warm
clothing are safeguards against colds. If
they are maintained through the change
able weather of autumn, winter and
spring, the chances of a surprise from
ordinary colds will be slight But the
ordinary light cold will become severe if
neglected, and well established ripe cold
is to the germs of diphtheria what honey
is to the bee. The greatest menace to
child life at this season of the year is the
neglected cold" Whether it is child
or adult, the cold slight or severe, the
very best treatment that can be adopted
is to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is safe and sure. The great popularity
and immense sale of this preparation has
been attained by it's remarkable cures of
this ailment. A cold never results in
pneumonia when it is given. For sale by
Waters drug store.

Pale People Made Rudy BY Rydale's
Tonic.

Pale people are pale because the blood
is deficient in quantity or poor in quality,
or both. This impoverished condition of
the blood is almost invariably caused by
some wasting disease. The cause may
be chronic disease, such as dyspepsia,
consumption, malaria, ETC., or it may be
the result of an acute disease such as
fever, etc. It matters not what cause
produces this impoverished condition of
the blood, Rydale's Tonic will restore it
to its normal state and bring back the
hue of health to the pale check. Rydale's
Tonic is put up in so cent and 81 sizes.
The large size contains q times the small
size. Waters drug store.

Drink and Civilization.

Rev. @. A. Nichols, ID. d., of the Bas-
sein Sagen-K Karen mission tells the
Temperance Advocate of Bangalore
some lurid facts regarding the effects
OF the white mans civilization In Bur
ma He says: Whereas twenty-fiye
years ago In any of our larger towns a
drunken Burman was as scarce as
hens teeth, now we can't go out in
any part Of lower Burma for a half
hours walk about the business part of
the city without encountering one or
more, sometimes quite number. of
Burmans and other indigenous races
Keeling from intoxication" Touching
upon the same subject, a Bangalore
correspondent Of a recent Issue of
tho Methodist Temperance Magazine
writes. 1T Is a remarkable fact, and n
sad one. that the spread Of the drink
habit Is chiefly aided and abstted by
Christian nations"

Result of Profit Sharing.

The Vermont Marble company closed
its fourth year of profit sharing or CO.
operative management at its stores in
Proctor, Center Rutland and West Rut-
land December 81, 1906. The business
of the year has been figured up and the
distribution of profits made to the COM
panys employees during the past week.
1t will be remembered by those who
have watched this experiment that the
stores are managed under the super
vision of committee Of the company's
employees, and that the entire profits,
after allowing moderate rate of interest
for the capital invested, are divided
among the employees of the company on
the basis of the amount of their trade
during the year.
Under this plan the employees get not
only the profit on their trade but on all
the outside trade of the stores. When
the business has been figured up at the
end of each year, each employe receives
a slip containing a summarized state
hChS VI SiC buoihcos VI tiiC opOiC "hCtC
his purchases have been made, with
figures showing the amount of his pur-
chases and the amount enclosed.
The total sales at Proctor store during
the year 1905 were $25s, 249, 81; the sales
to employees Of the company were $780,
576 IA; and there was dividend Of II
per cent for distribution to the company 3
employees.
At the Center Rutland store the total
sales were $74, 82247; the sales to en-
ployes were $50,37S.6l; the total profit
was 81, SAC. 96 and there was a per cent
dividend for distribution to the en-
ployes.
At the West Rutland store the total
sales were $1S8, 106.7s; the sales to en-
ployes were $11O, 722.70; the total profit
was $8,876.44, and there was per cent.
of profit for distribution to the employees.
At each store there was small surplus
of profit to be carried over to this years
account

Wanted Her Husband to Tip

A rowboat stored for several years, I'M
used, in the attic of the Dubois cottage,
Highgate Springs, was offered for sale.
Coming to the knowledge of Swanton
gentleman and lady, contemplating buy
ing they drove to the Springs early in the
season and looked the craft over, after
procuring the key of Mr. Platt. An oldish
man in jumpers, who was fussing about
the ridge picking things up, voluntarily
helped get the boat out and told all about
its fine lines. AS the Swanton party
drove away the lady turned to her hus-
band in an undertone with:
Say, John. why didn't you tip the old

"What old man ?" asked the perplexed
husband.

Central band Game Seized.

The Boston Post of Monday says
Nearly 1000 pounds of deer and bear
meat were seized Sunday by the fish and
game commissioners at the Boston &
Maine freight yards while it was being
unloaded as cargo of lumber from New
port, Vt. According to the way bills it
was car of lumber on which the storage
was paid for one month, and when the
car was received it was set aside near
the Somerville yard. 1t was consigned to
G. A. Batrhelder and comprised the lar
gest amount of contraband game ever
seized in this city or State. The con-
signee was evidently in rush to get the
game away from the freight yards, for
teams arrived shortly after the car was
sidetracked, aad when the work Of I'M
loading was partially accomplished the
yard master noticed several bags of
something on the load. Knowing that
the car was supposed to contain lumber
and nothing more, he investigated, found
the great quantity Of deer and bear meat
and at once communicated with the fish
and game commissioners at the State
House. Chairman Field and Deputy
Delano at once took charge of the cargo,
sending it to cold storage. The contra
band is awaiting the disposition of the
court.

VERMONT IMPROVEMENT.
Invitations from Of
ficers Of New Association.

The Vermont improvement associa-
ton, incorporated by the last Legisla-
ture, has commenced its campaign to adj
vertise and beautify the Green Mountain
State, by sending out letters to men in
public and private life known to have at
heart the progressive welfare and i'm
provemeut of the State.
These letters are businesslike invita-
ton to become members of the associa-
ton, and to lend aid and friendly coun-
ell in the systematic improvement to YER
mont. A small membership fee is ask
ed, 81, sufficient if generally paid by
those in the State who are really inter-
ested in her advancement to create a
substantial nucleus fund that later will
probably be increas ID by voluntary con-
tributions.
The Legislature made small appro-
priation for the use of the association,
but about the time the bill reached the
governor it was discovered that economy
was needed in the State and the bill was
never signed by the executive. Thus it
devolves upon the members of the new
corporation, all of whom are serving the
State in labor of love, to finance and
properly develop the purpose of which 1t
was organized and chartered.
The officers of the association are !:
President, Lieut.. Gov. George H. Prouty,
Newport vice-president, John H. Sen
ter, Montpelier; secretary and treasurer,
R. w. McCuen, Vergennes; executive
committee, H. B. Barden of Walling.

storekeeper's house and woodworking
shop were saved. An $4,000 new engine

was probably due to spontaneous COM
bustion.
