The Best Food to Make Hens Lay

The extremely high prices that have
prevailed for eggs during the past few
years have emphasized more than ever the
need of some food to make hens lay in
cold weather, The best is none too good,
especially when it can be obtained at a
moderate price. g. HI. Whyland of Val
cour, N. Y, expresses his ideas On the
subject in the following letter He says:
81 think Pages Perfected Poultry Food
is the best food to make hens lay that is
on the Market"
Any one sending his address on postal
card to c. s. Page, Hyde Park, VT, and
mentioning this paper, will receive by
mail, free, postpaid, a sample package of

Badly Mixed Up.

Abraham Brown of Winterton, N. Y,
had a very remarkable experience; he
says: sDoctors got badly mixed up over
me; one said heart disease; two called il
kidney trouble: the fourth, blood poison,
and the fifth stomach and liver trouble;
but none of them helped me; so my wife
advised trying Electric Bitters, which are
restoring me to perfect health. One bot
tie did me more good than all the five
doctors prescribed" Guaranteed to cure
blood poison, weakness and all stom-
ach, liver and kidney complaints. Soc.
H. A. Leonard, Randolph.

Town S. S. Convention.

The Township Sunday School conven-
tion was held in the Baptist church Sun
day afternoon and evening with the pres
ident. L. J. Harrington OF Randolph Cen
ter, presiding.
The afternoon session opened with a
brief service of praise and prayer, after
which attention was given to the discus
sion of practical Sunday school problems.
Rev. Z. NJ. Fuller OF Burlington, gener-
al secretary of the Vermont Sunday
School association, was present and led in
the discussion of the problem OF attend
snce; l.. J. Harrington presented the
problem OF teachers and teaching; Rev.
Dr. A. l. Cooper tnat OF administration,
and Charles Kinney, Sunday school or
ganizer and worker, spoke on the subject
of extension.
In the evening large congregation as
sembled to listen to Rev. Mr.. Fuiler's
report of the Worlds Sunday School con-
vention in Rome, from which he has but
lately returned full of enthusiasm and re-
newed zeal in Sunday school work.
President Harrington took charge of the
service. A Scripture lesson from St.
Paul's Epistle TO the Romans was read by
Rev. Fraser Metzger of Bethany church
and prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Brad
shaw. A large chorus choir provided
music for the service, that included solo
by Miss NJ. Blanche Sparhawk, .Only to
Pass through the Gateway" sung to
very beautiful music composed by Rev.
Mr.. Fuller.
The general secretary first gave a re-
sumo Of the work of the Vermont Sunday
School association and made a plea for
financial assistance. to which the congre
CATION responded by contribution of
SIS. He stated that the association had
received 5000 new members and was
reaching through its Home department
work 5000 shut-ins, of whom 1000 are
without other direct religious influences.
He touched lightly ON the tourist fea-
lures of his trip to Rome, only informing
his hearers that there is no life insurance
advertisement on the rock of Gibraltar
and that the face OF that mighty stone
overlooks land instead of water. The
American delegation went i'm two sec
tions, 375 sailing from Boston, and $50
from the port OF New York. In the COM
pany were millionaires like L. II. War
rem, former vermonter, who has made a
fortune in supplying teatherbone to ana
tomical demands Of dressmaking; Heinz.
the great pickle man, to whose 81 varie-
ties the Sunday school Is added as a 5sth
subject of interest, and many other we'll
known men of means and influence.
Mr.. Fuller presented graphic picture
OF the little struggling nilsson at the
Azores, and the crying need Of mission
at Algers for which the convention made
ample provision; the work TO be carried
on by Bishop Wetzell of the Methodist
church, who is stationed in Africa. He
spoke Of the inspiration of this great
body Of Christians from all parts of the
world, of the reception given them by the
son and granddaughter Of General Carl
baldi, Italy's iberator, and OF the spirit
of fellowship that strengthened the arm
and nerved the soul to more devoted serv-
ice in the extension of the Gospel.

that will be offered, and whether any
as good can be secured?
The Cottonwood creek water rights
will not go begging for customer
after it has been found necessary to
sell them. The necessity does not yet
appear.
Why is there disposition on the
part of those who bought those water
rights for the City to now take them
off the City's hands? Is it because
they have been censured for buying
them? If that be the reason, and they
be free from any wrong act in the
transactions involved (Which l am
confident they are) let them disregard
the censure, let them even challenge
the censurers. Then 1t will be up to
the censurers to show the people. If
they can do that there will be no one
who will more readily join in CEN
surfing the wrong doers than l will,
and that openly, too. If they cannot
show that any wrong was done. the
censurers are the ones who stand dis

Safe. Sure and Speedy

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met
these three prime conditions so sue
cessfully as Allcock's plasters. They
are safe because they contain no dele
terious drugs and are manufactured
upon scientific principles of medicine.
They are sure because nothing goes
into them except ingredients which
are exactly adapted to the purposes
for which plaster is required. They
are speedy in their action because the
medicinal qualities go right to their
work of relieving pain and restoring
the natural and healthy performance
of the functions of muscle, nerves and
skin.
Allcock's plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine ALL
