A Diminishing Pension BOIL.

At the close of last June the names
of 6i4,33S survivors of the civil war were
on the pension roll. During the year
3l,20l survivors had died. The whole
number of pensioners on the roll was
967S71, figures which show a net falling
off for the fiscal year of 5000 pen
sioners, the greatest net loss for any
year in the history of the pension bu-
reau. The number of pensioners re-
since 1898.
Every year now records a vast har-
vest of death among the survivors of the
civil war, and all too soon the last man
who answered the call of his country
in that great conflict to keep the union
whole will be gathered to his comrades

A NATION OF CRIPPLES
Rheumatism Beyond Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic Sufferers Is
Urlc-O Treatment.

If rheumatism continues to spread as it
has in the past few years, it would seem
as though we would beore long become a
nation of cripples. The terrible destruc-
tiveness of this disease is apparent on
every side of us. Almost nine out of ten
of the cripples one meets had their af-
Fiction brought on by rheumatism. How
many thousands more there are that are
hopelessly bed-ridden and whom we never
see. Rheumatism, from the very nature
of the disease, can never cure itself and
if neglected is bound to grow worse then
better. If you ever have any twinges Of
rheumatism go to your druggist and get
a bottle of Uric-O, the wonderful new
Rheumatic Specific 1t will cure you and
II is the only treatment in the world that
VIII cure you permanently and thoroughly
Uric-O cures by its direct action on the
muscles blood and kidneys, 1t seeks out
the poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid
and drives it from the system and 1t Is
only treatment of such a nature that
VIII ever cure Rheumatism. Liniments
and plasters only serve to drive 1t from
Rheumatism because it is primarily a
blood disease, and until the blood is clear
ed from the poison, cure cannot take
place.
There never was a case of Rheumatism
that Uric-O could not cure and you should
not put of taking 1t. You can test Uric o
free of charge if you wish. Just cut out
TINS advertisement and send II to the
Smith Drug Co., 1863 Smith Building, Syr-
acuse, n. Y, together with your name
and the name OF your druggist, and state
would like to try 1t. They will give you
free, through your druggist, a rs cent
bottle, which you can test and try to
your own satisfaction.
Uric-O is sold and personally recon-
mended in Brattleboro by c. Il. GRAHAM,
Brooks House Pharmacy.

Douglas said:
The sentiment prevails in New
York City that not only has the sit
uation already improved greatly but
that it will continue to do so. OF
course at the present time the bank
ers Of the metropolis are complaining
of the fact that their reserves have
been greatly depleted. owing to the
insistent demands of western cores
pondents for currency. In order to
protect the westerners in case OF
run. not only has an enormous guam
tity of money been shipped in this di
rection. but practically all Of the large
imports of gold from Europe have
been allowed to come directly west
AT the present time the cash re-
serves of the New York banks are
about Il per cent while the financiers
there say and it has been shown to
be true that the western banks are
holding their reserves at about 40 per
cent. which Is extremely large
II Is impossible to say now whether
we will be able to meet the payroll
next month entirely with cash as Ne
will draw on New York. and If they
cannot conveniently ship the currency
we will continue Ia. pay in denomina-
tional drafts.
Confidence is returning in that
section of the country rapidly and
those people who became panic
stricken to the extent of drawing their
money from the banks and boarding
it in safety deposit boxes are seeing
the error Of their action. II was just
this that made il imperative for the
banks to adopt the clearing house
rule.
