with the cost of the ingredients, direc-
tions for mixing, etc.
The Vermont Experiment Station in
its bulletin No. l6 has the following to
say with reference to the value of home
mixed fertilizers as compared with the
ordinary commercial brands; ION every
account however, financial educational,
agricultural, it is better to buy the crude
stock and home-mix if one uses a ton or
more
All up.to- date farmers should be inter

Letter TO HENRY E. JOY.
MIDDLEBURY, VT.

Dear Sir: 1t is great thing for a
merchant to have the exclusive sale lin
his region, of course) of anything wanted
by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is: be
fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money house,
a Job, year, lifetime-no matter how
YOU reckon your costs, except by the
gallon-Devoe Is the best care-taker and
costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part of
the cost of paint is putting it on. Less
gallons. less cost. Don't forget that
another principal part of economy is
long wear; less gallons, less cost and
long wear.
1t is IA great thing to have the ex-
elusive sale of popular goods, of goods
that make friends, Of goods that enrich
both buyer and seller. DevOe is per-
haps only ten per cent better than one
or two others but ten is plenty--it's
200 or 800 better than many.
There's many merchant who hasn't
found.out his goods. 1t doesn't take a
man long to find out that Devoe is the
least money paint and why, no matter
which side he'is on.
Yours truly
IA F. w. DEVOE & co
P. S. A. Calhoun & Sons sell our paint

MANY SUDDEN DEATHS
The Disease Had it's Dangers
Should be Taken in Time.

Rheumatism has long been regarded as a
trouble which, while it might be painful, was
not necessarily dangerous Very few persons,
it was thought, ever died from Rheumatism.
Recent investigation among scientists has
proved, however, the utter fallacv of such a
belief. Three-fourths to seven Fights of the
sudden deaths, heart failures, etc, are due
primarily to neglected rheumatism. The
Rheumatic Acid Poison is allowed to stay in
the system until suddenly one day it grips the
muscles of the heart and all is over
Rheumatism is durable if the proper treat
ment is used. Linments, plasters and all
local applications may relieve the pain for a
short time, but no one ever heard of their per-
manenty curing a case of Rheumatism The
only way to cure Rheumatism is the Uric O
way Ncutralize the Rheumatic acid and drive
1t fir m the system. That is what Uric-O does.
No matter what is the kind or character ofthe
Rheumatism, it is all caused by the same
Rheumatic poison Lumbago, Muscular or
Articular Rheumatism yields at once to Uric
o. The store of NJ r. Burt is the home OF
Urc-O in Middebury and he can tell you all
about its wonderful virtues and the many cures
it has made right here in your own town. 1t
sells for 75c and SIoo a bottle. If you wish
to test Uric-O before purchasing, a letter to
the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse N. Y, will bring
you trial bottle free of all charges.

Troy, July 15,-(Special. )-The tenn perance spirit of Troy will not be downed Last night a union meeting of all the Christian people in town was held at the Methodist Episcopal Church for the purpose of closing the dispen- sary. Much enthusiasm prevailed and several fine talks were made.
 The mass meeting which was ap- pointed for this afternoon at o'clock took place at the Court House at the appointed hour. and the Court House was packed with men and women who were determined to stop the liquor traffic.
 The meeting was called to order by the chairman, w. H. Sanford. and So- licitor R. H. Parks acted as secre- tary. A. B. Foster. the chairman of the committee appointed at the pre-. vious mass meeting to confer with the Council and Mayor was heard from. and 1t was found that the dispensary could be legally closed.
 F. M. Pennington made a speech suggesting that the citizens of the county be given a vote on the ques- ton. but 1t was decided that as the citizens of Pike County had nothing to do with putting the dispensary in Troy they should have nothing to do with keeping 1t in Troy.
 Speeches were then made by W. H. Sanford, R. H Parks and Prof. E. M. Shackelford. all of whom strongly ad- vocated the closing of the dispensary at once and brought forth much ap- plause.
 A campaign committee was appoint ed by the chairman, consisting of three men from each of the four wards, whose duty it shall be to work from now until the city primary. which Is to be held July 22. and use every means to induce the electors to vote for the increased taxation in order that the necessary expenses of the city may be met after the closing of the dispen- SarY.
