FIRES BEING RESET.
Authorities Now Think Firebug Is
Working in Woods on Bald Mountain.

bennington. VT, Oct. 23.-The two
forest fires which are burning in THIS
vicinity one on Bald Mountain, near
the town of Searsburg and the othe,,
and most extensive, that on Green
Mountain in the towns Of SALISBURY
and Glastonbury. were still uncon-
tfolled today.
The authorities of Bennington nave
come to the conclusion that the fires
on Bald Mountain are being reset
each day, and tonight they announced
a reward Of 800 for evidence which
will lead to the arrest and conviction
of any firebugs. Every morning dur
ing the past week the fire which had
been apparently well subdued the night
before, has burst out again making 1t
necessary to send new gangs OF labor
ers to the scene. These men are pald
81 a day for their services. The au-
thorities are not certain that the fires
are being set in order to assist the
labor market but they are strongly of
the opinion that the repeated out
breaks are due to other than natural
causes.
The fire on Green Mountain was
burning more fierccly than ever to-
night 1t has spread from the Glas-
tonbury side Of the mountain into the
town of SALISBURY and has burned a
large quantity Of valuable spruce
growth.

Pe-ru-na In the Home.

After all, experience is the best teacher.
Some doctors may write in favor Of Pc

it. Butitis tho testimony of the mothers
and fathers who are rearing families,
who love their children, who must
economic as 70 doctor bills, who are
raising little boys and girls into:men and
women of the future, it is the testimony
of such people that really counts.
There is no way to positively ascertain
how many families in the United States
rely upon Peruna for the many climatic
ailments to which the family is subject.
The number must be great one. Sever
al millions perhaps. They have learned
how to use Peruna for ordinary all
ments, and in that way are guarding
their homes against more serious dis
eases.
Such ailments as coughs and colds,
sore throat and catarrh, Group and collie,
Indigestion and loss of appetite, anemia
and nervousness, all these ailments are
promptly relieved by q few doses OF
Peruna at the right time.
Millions Of provident mothers and
fathers are guarding the interests of the
home by using DR.. Hartman's great
remedy, and profiting by his medical
booklets and personal advice.

Catarrhal Group.

Few people realize how frequently
Group is caused by catarrhal congestion
of the throat. Probably nine cases outof
ten Of Group is of the catarrhal variety.
The medical profession recognizes
three forms of Group. The spasmodicva-
riety, membranous Group and catarrhal
Group.
Nearly every case is of the catarrhalva-
riety, and few doses of Peruna taken at
the first appearance of the catarrhal
symptoms is generally sufficient to avert
the attack Of Group altogether.
Group is a frightful disease. No dis
ease Of children so alarrss the household.
