Not since the grip epidemic Of 1ss9-90
has the dreaded influenza been so prevs-
lent as now. No age or station in life is
exempt from It, nor can its attack be pre-
vented with certainty. 1t is, however,
more frequent in persons living in over
crowded and ill-ventilated homes and in
low, damp surroundings.
The best authorities give no satisfac-
tory treatment for the acute stage, but it
is of short duration, usually running it's
course, in spite of medical treatment, in
two or three days; at most, a week or ten
days. Careful diet and a supporting or
tonic treatment, with laxatives, IL re-
quired, are the best aids to nature during
the acute stage.
Danger During Commissioners.
For a disease of such limited duration
and one, which, without complications,
is rarely fatal, the grip leaves its victims
more debilitated and less able to with
stand other disorders than any other.
One Of our foremost medical writers says !:
sit is astonishing the number of people
who have been crippled in health for
years after an attack II is a common
thing to hear people date various all
ments or chronic ill-heaith from an at
tack of influenza.
The real danger from the grip is dur
ing convalescence, when the characteris-
tic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the
headache and the depression of spirits
pass away. The grip leaves behind ii
weakened vital powers, thin blood, inn
paired digestion and over-sensitiye nerves
"a condition that makes the system an
easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheu-
matism, nervous prostration and even
consumption. Too much stress cannot
be laid on he importance of strengthen
ing the blood and nerves during GONZALES
cence.
The story told by scores of victims of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the base
of the skull that made life uncomfortable
and that long defied the power of medi-
cine: another was left tired, faint and
in every way wretched from anaemia or
scantiness of blood; another bad horrible
headaches, was nervous and couldn't
sleep; another was left with weak lungs,
difficulty in breathing and acute neural
gis. In every case relief was sought in
vain until the great blood-builder and
nerve tonic, DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
was used. This remedy is justly regard
ed as peculiarly adapted to build up sta
BILE health after a siege of grip. For
quickness of action nothing is known
that will approach it, bus it is also with
out equal for thorougbness.

Saturdays Bic Storm.

In the storm of Saturday last, every
body in this village seemed to deem it
expedlent to remain under cover. For
about three hours in the afternoon not a
solitary team passed, and pedestrians
were almost equally scarce. Three ad-
venturous spirits, however, found their
way as far as the library, and in the
evening half a dozen more patrons went
to secure books for the quiet morrow
The shouts of boy out with his sled
came as distinct relief from the silence
of an outer world which had seemed to
consist entirely of swirling snow.
About 4 80 the storm relaxed little
and men began to appear on their prem
ises, snow shovel in hand, to clear paths.
By evening, quite number had resur-
rected themselves from their almost
buried dwellings and visited the stores,
waiting for the mail, which arrived about
1850. They did not tarry long, however,
but started for home again, while their
courage to wade through the drifts was
still good.
1t is safe to say that ON Sunday, Can
dlemas day, the woodchuck whose &C
tions form the basis of so many weather
predictions, remained comfortably in his
hole, and let the weather prophets argue
out his reasons for so doing and the re-
suits thereof to suit themselves.

from the fact that five fiat cars and one
box car were required in its delivery.

Most Vermont Savings Banks place de-

if made before the 9TH. If made after the
9Th, they draw from the first of the fol-

The Hyde Park Savings Bank has al
ways paid interest from the beginning of
the quarter on deposits made before the
middle of the quarter, thus giving and
taking exactly alike.
On deposits made now or at any time
before February 10th they compute inter

SMYRNA POSTOFFICE BILL
GOES OVER NEXT CONGRESS
SENATOR RICHARDSON UNABLE
TO GETIT THROUGH THIS TIME
Additional Appropriations For Viii
mington And Milford Causes The
Side Track of The Smyrna Bill

The bill apprOpriating $40, 600 for
the erection of a Federal Building
for Smyrna, introduced last March
by United States Senator Harry A.
Richardson, has been laid over until
another session. Congress adjourned
Saturday and the item of apprOpria-
tion for Smyrna does not appear.
William D. Denney of Dover,
private secretary of Senator Richard
son, when called up concerning the
matter said that it was not deemed
expedient to fight for the appropria-
| tion at this time owing to the fact
that Wilmington and Milford wanted
additional appropriations which were
absolutely necessary. Senator Du-
pont was interested in getting
S125, 600 for the city of Wilmington
and Senator Richardson $40, 900 for
Milford. Wilmington Federal
Building is to be enlarged and Mil
ford's Federal Building needed the
additional sum to complete its equip
ment. Secretary Denney said thai
Smyrna would be taken care of a
the next session of Congress anC
that Senator Richardson can see NJ
reason why the full appropriation
could not be secured to put up
$40, 900 Federal Building for Smyrna
The latter will do all in his power
for Smyrna but has intimated that a
expression from the business mer
and citizens of Smyrna, such a
characterized the agitation at MilfOr
: will do much toward bringing tn
. question squarely before the Com
) mitee on Public Buildings an
Grounds. Senator Richardson, it
, said, expresses regret that he cOul
not get the appropriation for Smyrn
at this session but gives assuranC
, that the bill will pass next winter.

track at Kirkwood Wednesday after
noon, the animal fell dead from heart
disease. Only two weeks ago DR..
Mccoy, who is one of the best known

Horsemen say the animal was worth
the money. Admiral Dewey was

Bingen and his dam the famous
Nancy Hanks. Admiral Dewey had
a record of 2.O42. His rcored at
three years old was .2.144. DR..

He is said to have never made a
break. The animal has a long string

fast. Many other offers had been
made to DIR. Mccoy for Admiral
Dewey, but he had refused to sci
the Admiral at any price.
