Specialist in Throat and Lung
Troubles Endorses VinoI.

He writes, "In cases where the cura-
tive influence of cod liver oil is needed,
prescribe Vinol, which find to be far
more palatabe and efficacious than other
cod liver preparations. am convinced
from my own experience and from a
knowledge of the nature of Vinol, that
it is worthy cod liver preparation in
which a physician may have every conf
dence." G. L. Dreese, M. D., Goshen,

Such testimony furnishes further evil
dence to the people of Middlebury that
our delicious cod liver preparation, vi
mol, does all we claim for it.
As body builder and strength-creator
for old people, delicate children, weak,
run down persons, after sickness, and
for chronic conghs. colds, bronchitis,
and all throat and lung troubles, Vinol
is unexcelled. This is because Vinol is
made by a scientific, extractive and con-
centrating process from fresh Gods livers
combining with peptonate of iron all the
medicinal, healing, body. building ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.

One of the best all-around bills of the
season will be given at Keith's next

among the leading features.
peaches" is the sketch to be played
by William Courtleigh and his company
which includes that clever character
comedian, Richard P. Crolius. 1t is from
the pen of George V. Hobart and is one
of the brightest things the clever humor-
list dramatist has ever written. That it is
well played by the Courtleigh company
goes without saying.i
Laddie Cliff is an English youth who
has recently scored a very big hit in
New York with repertoire of catchy
songs, accompanied by some remarkable
dancing. He is one Of the big finds of
the season among the imported acts.
There never has been a more beautiful
bird act shown in vaudeville than that of
Marzella. The birds are the pick of the
feathered world, and have been trained
to do many unusual tricks. while the
stage setting used is simply magnificent.
Pagan and Byron are old favorites
whose dancing speciality has never been
excelled. The acrobatic act of Spissell
Brothers and Mack is a great comblna-
ton of unusual stunts and odd comedy
tricks. Charles Leonard Fletcher, a
Boston boy, by the way, presents num-
Der of remarkable impersonatons, Mark
Twain and the late Richard Mansfield
among them. The Basque Quartette is
one of the best vocal organizations in
vaudeville, while the Goltz Trio present
unique gymnastic turn.
Hafford and Mantell, vocalists and
conversationalists; Edmonds and Lee,
two real coons"; Kitty johnson, a
pretty soubrette; the Juggling Barretts
club manipulators, and the Kinetograph
will complete the program.

A Unique Savings Bank.

The Bradford Opinion believes that
the unique position of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, in investigating all its
funds in Vermont, promotes safety. 1t
says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company holds somewhat unique posi-
ton in Vermont banking circles. Its slogan
is Vermont money for the building of Yer
mont Industries The principle is carried out
so thoroughly that every cent of the banks
funds is invested in Vermont, and the bank
has never lost dollar on poor note follow
ng this policy. This is one answer to the
cry that there is no chance to invest money al
home.
The banks policy has been for safe invest
ment rather than for high rate Of interest
and on the eleventh of this month the assets
of the bank passed the million-dollar mari
Neither the policy nor the success of the bank
is so strange, when we know that Hon. Car
roll S. Page, of calfskin fame, is the banks
president.
Commencing January, 1908, this Bank
will pay four per cent compounded
semi annually on all deposits large and
small alike; will pay taxes on all sums
up to $4,000 and will issue pass books
with no limits as to times of withdrawal
or other restrictions save those common
to all Vermont Savings Banks Depositt
