Plans are now completed for system
tic canvass OF the state to raise funds for
new Home to take place Of the large
building at Westminster, Vt, destroyed
by fire February 2S.
To meet this emergency and rebuild
with proper equipment. the trustees, Of
whom Hon. w j. VanPatten is president,
vote to raise the sum of SEQ, 900
A friend OF the home who has already
given largely toward the new school
building which has just b en- finished on
the Westminster property, at once
pledged $1,000 toward this new fund.
This has been increased by smaller sub
scriptions so that already there is a
nucleus of $4,000.
Circular letters have been sent out to
every church, Sunday School aud Young
Peoples Society asking for definite
pledges.
Pulpit and press are uniting in urging
this great and immediate need upon the
citizens of our state.
| This is Vermont's great opportunity.
| Stop for moment and consider what
this great work means to Vermont.
Look over the hills and valleys at the
neglected and abandoned farms.
Where are the boys who should be Gull
tivating this land and increasing the
value of our property? Too often drift.
ing about the streets of town or city.
Why? Because Vermont is not awake to
her privilege. She is allowing her boys
to become attracted by the false glamour
of the city and losing them, instead of
providing home and education.
This is what Kurn Hattin aims to do
To provide clearly, wholesome surround
ings for unfortunate boys; to give them
educ ton along practical lines and hold
hem until habits of industry and frugal
ity are formed More than all to teach
them to love the soil, and to realize its
possibilities in health and wealth so that
they will become independent, self-sup-
porting citizens.
This can only be done by joining hands
as one people in this hour of great need
and providing funds to rebuild on the old
site which il all that can be desired for
location.
We feel that it will only be necessary
to impress the people with the real need
and its immediateness to meet with the
ready response which Vermonters always
give to all true, genuine appeals.
Remember it takes time to build. Our
New England summer is short. The
boys must have home before cold
weather comes again. The trustees wish
to avoid all Indebtedness in the future.
They believe in the good old maxim,
Owe no man anything" Help them
carry out this policy and begin the new
Kurn hattin without hindrance finan-
cially, by sending a check or pledge soon
to the Treasurer, Mr.. E. l.. Walker, Bel
lows Falls, Vt. Any other information
can be furnished from that Office.
Watch this paper for further reports of
this work and the growth of the fund
Help make the report a good one.

The immense success which has followed l..
T. Cooper during the past year with his new
preparation has exceeded anything of the kind
ever before witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has introduced
the medicine. Cooper has a novel theory
He believes that the human stomach is direct
ly responsible for most disease. To quote his
own words from an interview upon his arrival
in an eastern city: "The average man or wo-
man cannot be sick il the stomach is working
properly. To be sure, there are diseases OF
virulent nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis,
diabetes, ETC., which are organic, and are not
traceable to the stomach but even fevers can,
in nine cases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach. All of this
half-sick nervous exhaustion that is now so
common, is caused by the stomachic condi-
tons, and it is because my remedy will and
does regulate the stomach that | am meeting
with such success
ITO sum the matter up-a sound digestive
apparatus that is doing its full duty, getting

Our Grandmothers used to get lot of
old nails, place them in a vessel contain
ing vinegar and allow them to remain
until the acetic acid in the vinegar pro.
duced an iron solution. This concoction
was then taken by nearly every member
of the family during the Spring and Fall
and it rarely if ever failed to strengthen
and benefit the person taking it. The old
way was good but there is new way
that is far better. Science has discovered
a way to manufacture Iron 80 that it can
be dissolved in syrups and elixirs and
given in definite doses. One of the best
and surest ways to take Iron is in Ry-
dale's Tonic This remedy is a combina-
tion of Iron, Quinine and Strychine in an
Orange Elixir and combined with other
ingredients that make it very valuable as
a blood and nerve tonic. 1t is without
an equal for old people needing stimu
liant and for weak and puny children and
a sure cure for chills and malaria. M.
