Just a little mild kidney disease
don't amount to anything. but let 1t

you have got just what has baffled
medical science for over forty years
and was ill very recently incurable,
Sometimes It is slow, but to show
how fatal 1t is and how futile the old
time kidney medicines you have been
taking let us tell you that the deaths
from kidney troubles are now $4,000
annually-over 10 per day. Alarm
ing figures, but they are taken from
the U. s. census.
The way to prevent this mild kid
ney disease becoming chronic is to
treat II from its very first hour OF ap-
pearance as II 1t were chronic. There
is but one thing known that cures
both the chronic and the mild cases

One drawback that Zed Stanton has
to overcome II he Is nominated for
governor is the support Of the Mid
dlebury Register on the ground that
Stanton hasn't an automobile while
Prouty has. Automobile hogs are
just common enough to keep them
selves In the public eye but are no
worse than hoggish drivers Of horses
who take all the road and speed their
animals on crowded streets. Reac-
tionaries who lament the coming OF
the auto have just as much use In
real life as would the advocacy OF tai
low candles In place Of electric lights
The continued harping Of the Regis
ter on this subject In It's support OF
Stanton has q tendency to lead the vo
ters to infer that Stanton Is a back
number. which Is far from the truth
He may be a conservative but there
is no reason to think that he Is 10

II went to the doctor this after

But honestly--say, you'll never repeat
this, will you--my doctor always has
an Office full of people ahead Of me
when I get there, and he never closes
the transom between his consulting
room and the waiting room. just en-
terrain myself by sitting there and
listening to the silly complaints peo-
pie have. You never heard anything
30 amusing as the different things peo.
pie tell the doctor. Most Of the pa
tients get all excited about their all

only "a less than majority as there

to get the necessary "a out Of Ben
nington. Grand Isle and Franklin
which will allow that Foster will
have his own county Of Chittenden
solid and that Fleetwood will have
Lamoille. On the other side OF the
case Mr.. Foster expects good num-
Der Of delegates from Rutland county

will be solid for him, and that he will
get the. great bulk Of the delegates
from Bennington and Franklin To
the Banner 1t looks as though Rutland
and Franklin would be the battle
ground Of the campaign. II Foster
can get majority Of these two coun-
ties he will win while II he can't he
will lose. His own county and Grand
Isle are undoubtedly for him and he is
likely to get over three quarters of
the votes from this county. Mr.. Fleet
wood can hardly expect more than a
few scattering votes outside his own
county though he is popular young
