A Cause Of Stomach Troubles.

When a man has trouble with his
stomach you may know that he is eating
more than he should of some article Of
food or drink not suited to his age or oc-
oupation, or that his bowels are habitu-

Stomach and Liver Tablets to regulate
the bowels and improve the digestion
and see if the trouble does not disappear.

HOLDING ON TO THE US. DEPOSIT
FUND.
Some Comments on this Interesting
Topic from Our Esteemed Con-
iemporaries. Causuc and
Otherwise.

In column article the Burlington
Free Press reviews the action Of Man
chester, Bennington, Arlington and
Tho other towns thai have refused Ia
turn over the U. S. Deposit Money
held by them in trust, and remarks
that "Some OF the towns, notably Man
chester and Bennington, decided that
il would be hardship for them TO pay
interest on the money placed in their
charge by the state for the support Of
education, and accordingly at the re-
cent town meetings they took action
hooking 70 u contest against the return
Of the money 10 the state. and fur
ther says that at is very evident that
the towns which have taken action OF
this character are short sighted, for
they have enjoyed the use Of the United
States deposit money all this time with
q tremendous saving 10 their taxpayers.
As a matter OF fact they will continue
70 receive benefit from this fund for
the income is to be rcdistributcd 10 the
various towns in the state, but all the
school money viii beput into one fund
and controlled by the trustees of the
permanent, fund"
We think that had the writer of the
sections quoted above looked into the
matter further he would have made his
differences with different wording for
in the case Of Manchester there would
be no particular hardship in paying to
lhc state the 6 per cent. interest as
against paying 10 the town Q per cent.
The Withholding Of the payment was
because il was firmly believed that the
state was trying 10 make use OF fund
that il was not authorized TO call on.
And In substantiating this remark we
would call your attention TO the part
Of the original act relating TO this mat
Ter that is printed on the first page Of
this weeks JOURNAL. The whole Of
tbe act is not printed, only that part
that refers 10 the original contract
made by The state with the towns when
che money was first divided. tits very
interesting reading.
Some papers have even accused some
Of the various towns OF misappropriat-
ing the money which they bad received
and having spent it for bridges. etc.
II The town borrowed the U. 4. Deposit
Money, why could il not spend il as il |
saw III, the same ns il would have spent
money borrowed from any other soucei
The towns have credited the school
fund with the income Of this money,
and under the old district system il
was divided among the several districts
with the other school funds AS the law
and the towns have had the
benefit Of per cent, income, where
n. under the new scheme they would
be losers.
