No-License Campaign.

The Vermont Anti Saloon League
will begin on January 1 no-license
campaign throughout the state with a
view to reducing the license vote at
the March meetings. Organizers and
speakers will be put in the field and
Anti Saloon League literature spread
broadcast. Meetings will be held
almost nightly during January and
February.
Ice Goes Out-No Damage.
Early Tuesday morning the ice in
the Winooski river and the North
branch, which was from four to eight
inches thick, went out for the second
time within two weeks. The mer-
chants along the North branch whose
cellars were crowded with holiday
goods had an anxious time Monday
night, inasmuch as before the ice went
out the streams had risen nearly to
the cellar flooding point. The ice
was not thick enough to create gorge
and the water subsidized without dam
age to anyone.
Two Large Fires in Vermont.
The business section of the village OF
West Enosburg was destroyed by fire
at midnight December %, entailiDg a
loss which is roughly estimated al
s25, 900. Both general stores were
burned, the post Office and Grange
hall. Nearby dwellings were saved
with great difficulty, a bucket brigade
doing heroic work. Fire early Satur-
day morning destroyed the Vermont
Marble company's general store at
Center Rutland, containing the town
hall and post Office entailing, a loss
of about $4,000, partially insured.
A big story wooden schoolhouse,
almost adjoining on the east, was
saved only by the heroic efforts of
firemen from Rutland, who fought the
flames in heat so intense that it was
necessary to pour water over the men
and put snow in their helmets.

San Francisco Again Fire Swept.

Thursday, Dec. 26, fire destroyed
nearly an entire block by Mission,
Jessie and First streets in San Fran
cisco. The loss will reach two million.
Several factories and stores were
entirely consumed. The buildings
were nearly all temporary structures
in the heart of the district burned to
the ground after the great earthquake.
They were of frame and highly in
flammable, burning with uncon-
trollable rapidiUy.
Fleet Welcomed at Port of Spain.
The port of Spain welcomed the
American feet of battleships with
hospitality and good fellowship. Day
light showed the warships anchored
in four column formation about four
miles from the wharf. The enter
tainment committee completed their
final arrangements and the town rap
idly took on it's best holiday attire.
Numberless launches, row boats and
harbor craft of all sorts began putting
out at an early hour to take sightseers
over to the American vessel.

Everyone in Barton Has a Right
10 His Own Opinion.
While everyone has a right to his
own opinion, yet it is wise to always
consider what others think and prof t
by their experience.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American, as
indigestion, and it is well for us to
give fair consideration to what others
think about this remarkable affection.
Fred D. Pierce is positive that in
Milo ma stomach tablets he has an
absolute cure for Indigestion and the
many disagreeable symptoms tina
follow this disease, such as distre Sc
after eating, coated tongue, bad taste
in the mouth, dizziness, fatulence
nervousness and debility.
His action in selling Mi-o-na on a
guarantee to refund the money un-
less it cures, shows plainly his
belief in the value of this remedy
He takes all the risk, and there viii
be no charge whatever for Mi-o-ns
unless you are satisfied that it has
relieved you of Indigestion.
