AN ENCOURAGING EXAMPLE.
CFrom the St Adams Messenrer)

(From the St Adams MessenCer)
Here are two items from a Boston
newspaper that will be Of peculiar inter
est to Vermont readers who desire to
compare progress under the laws of the
two States:
"Ony two towns in Massachusetts,,
Nantucket and Gosnod, do not have
school supervision, and the former has
but IS pupils"
"Only thirteen towns in Massachusetts
do not give the children high school adj
vantage, and thase have no children of
high school aee.'
Several Years ago. MaSsa chusetts put
into operation certain phases of school
law providing for the expert supervision
of schools and .or the furnishing Of high
school advantages for children in tho
small towns. And the paragraphs quoted
show the remarkable progress that has
been made under them.
Now Vermont has sol ont 10 try praoti-
cally the same kind Of a law. or ut least
a Law aiming at the same objects. Even
as It took some time 10 persuade tho pro-
eressive people OF Massa chusetts that
these laws were wise and beneficial and
that the advantages offered by them %
the various towns should be accepted and
time TO convince Vermontols that the
changes proposed are not mere contri-
'vances Of speculative thcorizing bur have
stood test of actual experience and are
known 70 be deserving of public support.
But doubtful Vermonters will do well -
reflect upon the tremendous strides
Massachusetts has made under her odu-
cational system and see how all this
same doubt and hesitancy in that state
has finally been overcome by constant
demonstrations Of the good sound sense
'of the law and the practical benefits to
he derived from IT, The day will come
when the Vermont town that does not
have the advantages Of expert suDorvi-
sion Of It's schools or send its children
where they can study in schools that d.
have expert supervision, will be SO very
nspicuous that it will be given a place
in newspaper paragraph like those
quoted here.

posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results SO fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley. of
% Court street, Utica, n. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
For six months after the birth of my
baby, suffered from sick dizzy head e
aches, which seemed like a rush of
blood to my forehead, Just back Of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so
could hardly sec and black spots floated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness My appetite was poor
and was often sick TO my stomach.

"One day when at tine drug store to
get headache powders I decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and l now weigh over
1870 pounds. / believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never

The great value Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new b!ood and this carries health
and strength TO every portion of the
body. Tho stomach is toned up. the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated TO DO its work.
