AsToNIsHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well with Change OF
Food.

A. great scientist has said we can put
off "old age" if we can only nourish the
body properly.
To do this the right kind of food, of
course, is necessary. The body manu-
factures poisons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds of food
stuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.
MY grandmother, II years Old

called consumption of the stomach and

Il saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded Grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on her
stomach for more than few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it. she took
little more until she could take all OF
4 teaspoonfuls at meal.
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.

Electrified by Sun and Moon.

Recent observation made on the
Pic du Midi, in the Pyrenees, confirm
the results previously obtained at
lower attitudes, which show that both
the sun and the moon induce a positive
electric charge on the earth. The sola:
charge varies from one to six volts per
minute according to the state of the
atmosphere. 1t is absorbed by clouds
and layers of moist air. The full moon
induces a positive electric induction
analogous to that caused by the sun.

The firstin the County.

The story of the first wagon owned in
Addison County and the second to be
brought into Vermont was told me by
Russell Harris of New Haven Mills over
thirty years years ago, and Mr.. Harris
was then ninety-six years of age. He
was one of the first to look upon the
wagons wonders. l will repeat his ac-
count of it as nearly as possible. He was
only five or six years old a little lad Just
beginning school, but went with his older
sister to see the wagon as people turn out
now to go to circus or fair.
The teacher told his pupils in the
morning that Mr. Maltby, who then lived
on the East Street road in New Haven,
on the farm later known as the Ira
Alternately farm, one and a half miles
north of the New Haven Mills school
house, had returned from Albany. N. Y,
the night before and had brought home
Dutch wagon, which he purchased while
he was gone to the city. (Mr. Maltby
had gone to Albany with load of wheat,
but the snow went off, and having
chance to get wagon he availed himself
of the opportunity The teacher told
his pupils that if they would be very dill
igent and get through their lessons early
he would 20 with them to see Mr.. Malt
by IN the noon hour, to see the wagon.
Mr.. Harris said they won by diligence
and good behavior and after eating a
hasty lunch they started in order at first,
by twos, but soon they found the early
spring roads 10 be rough, and the older,
stronger boys, and few of the larger
girls left of and those helping the little
ones had to fall in the rear. But good
Mr.. Maltby did not bring out the wagon
till all had arrived, then he got out his
horses and hitched them on, and drove,
up and down the road, and showed how
it was turned around telling them the
Dutchman's directions how to turn the
wagon. when you want to haw to you
must shee hoff and when you want to
shee hoff you must haw to-"
Mr.. Harris SAID the big boys followed
the wagon but the small ones and their
attendants were ranged on the stone wall
on the upper side of the road and he was
among those on the wall looking in child
ish wonder at the sight before him-a
wagon.
The same Dutch wheel wright in AL
bany had sold wagon to man in Ben
ningtOn a short time before, that being
the first one in the State, and mind this
was no fancy vehicle but a common lum-
Der wagon.

they sit on the wall and see an automo-

Silk Manufacture.

From all accounts silk manufacture
originated In China. Chinese tradition
has it that the Emperor Fob Ii taught
his people the art of cultivating the
silkworm as early as 5000 b. C. Spain
was the first European country to re-
ceive the silkworms, the Arab conquer
ors Introducing them about the tenth
century, probably from their home on
the borders of Persia. The foundation
Of the silk industry in France dates
from the year 1916 when Francis l.
imported silk workers from Milan.

Though William Hill of Burlington
was arrested on a charge that is some
what of a novelty, it is very good sign
that the authorities are getting after this

where they would easily get into the
