Transcript, there is fine picture and
description of the Williamstowh High
School foot ball team of which John
ID Thomas played guard. There was

league, they finished in second place

points scored,

When the electric road was completed
the only poor stretch OF road between
POwnal and North Adams was between
Thompson's bridge and the Sand
Springs. This was a sandy stretch
and in places so full OF stones as to
almost rack wagon to pieces that
passed over them. This piece of road
has low been put in perfect condition
with a fine quality of gravel its entire
length, and norsemen unite in praising
the Williamstown authorities tor this
work. BY going to North Adams over
this road as far as the Williamstown
depot, thence over the Hassan pave
ment, up Cole avenue to the State road
one can enjoy perfect wheeling all the
way to the city.
The finest coffee substitute ever
made has recently been produced by

have to boil 1t twenty or thirty min

doctor. Health Coffee" is really the
closest coffee imitation ever yet pro-
duced. Not grain of real Coffee In 1t
either. Health Coffee Imitation is
made from pure toasted cereals or
grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it
would fool an expert---were he to un-
drink 1t for coffee. Joseph |
