OF SEASON
Deer Weighed Nearly 800 and

SHOT ON THE LAST DAY
Eight Deer, a Coon, and Fox Skin
on Exhibition Today at
Schwartz Market

There were seven deer hanging at
the Schwartz market on Main street
this morning, five bucks and two doe.
To help out the display there was the
skin of the fox shot by w. II. Brad
ford in the Dunville district and a
coon killed by w. II. Nichols in STAN
ford According to some of the stor-
les on the street Nichols shot SO
many OF his cartridges at the coon
that he would have had none left TO
kill a deer had he been fortunate
enough to see one.
The biggest buck of the seven, and
one of the largest ever brought into
town, was shot by Trenor p. Gregg
late Saturday afternoon. The ami
NAL has a set of horns and weighed
before being drawn close to 800
pounds.

been entirely complete it is safe 10

cured a deer which is a much better

early portion of the season, would
be made. In the vicinity of 100
hunting licenses were issued from
the town clerks Office. during Sep
tember and October There were
260 issued in September and the bal
ence last month. Two were issued
today.
All kinds of deer stories were be-
ing told on the street Saturday nign,.
William Wilson of Arlington shot a
good-sized doe which he hung up in
his barn at the rear of his home in
Arlington village. A fine buck later
came down from the mountain and
went into the barn. The buck ran

time but every man living in the
vicinity either had killed a deer or

and the buck went back to the woods
unmolested.
The section of country of which
Arlington is the center proved to be
the most prolific territory for the
hunters, nearly 60 kills having al
ready been reported TO County Game
Warden Harry Chase.
During the week the warden took
a trip into Stratton where he found
a camp of seven Connecticut hunters
every one of whom including the
cook, had taken out a nonresident IL

Mrs. Ashton showed how much the
vomen's clubs were doing throughout
the country for the betterment OF CIV

speak of the true conception OF the
word citizen and the efforts of the
Federation to bring about ideal citi-
Zenship.
Before closing, Mrs. Ashton spoke
of the scholarship given by the State
Federation to go to the support OF
some deserving young woman in one
of our state normal schools Mrs.
Ashton said, that in view of the edu-
cational conditions in the state 1t
would be a help and benefit to Yer

trained teachers She also touched
on the subject of the Christmas stamp

ENDS STOMACH TROUBLE

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of lndi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep some Di-
apepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort and overcome
sour, gassy Stomach five minutes
after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula plainly printed on
these so cent cases of Papes Diapep-
sin, then you will readily see why it
makes Indigestion. Sour Stomach
Heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes and relieves at once
such miseries as Belching of Gas,
Fluctuations of sour, undigested food
Nausea, Headaches Dizziness, Con
stipation and other Stomach disord
ers.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out of order stomach
with the common everyday cures ad-
yertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong or believe theirs is
a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Cat
arrh of Stomach or Cancer
This, no doubt, is serious mistake
and your real trouble is, what you
eat does not digest; instead it fer
ments and sours. turns to acid, Gas
and Stomach poison, which purify in
the digestive tract and intestines and
besides poison the breath with naus-
eous doors
A hearty appetite with thorough di-
gestion and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you de
eide TO try Pape's Diapepsin.

ABOUT 5000 DEER KILLED
A Conservative Estimate Doubles the
Figures of Last Years Shoot

Stowe, Nov. 1.-The deer season
over, Commissioner Thomas has adj
ditional help in his Office, sending out
blanks for returns from the different
towns of the number killed and com
piling press reports for comparisons
With the warden's reports.
Mr.. Thomas is of the opinion that
an unusually large number of deer
have been killed but ventures no es-
innate. He expects that it will be at
least a month before the true figures
can be arrived at.
A total of 1855 hunters licenses
were sent out. $40 being issued in
this town. This is the record, con
sidering the population, so far report,
ed
Unofficial estimates by experienced
hunters place the number killed dur
ing the open season at 5000, about
twice as many as in 1908. The sea
son has been remarkably free from
accidents, when the number of hun
ters out is considered. Only one ia
tally resulted Fred Harris of West
minister.

Saturday afternoon by Jesse L. Nc
Allister and A. b. Smalley of Warren

where it was hung up for exhibition
this afternoon and attracted a great
deal of attention.
Bruin was killed in the "Y" of the
Green mountains between Warren and
Granville. Messrs McAllister and
Smalley were deer hunting last Tues

ing. Mr. McAllster who is an old
bear hunter having been mixed up in
the killing of at least a dozen station
ed Smalley on the runway below the
bears and he went above and drove
them down.
The first shot from McAllister's ri

CARE OF THE TEETH.

A FAMOUS old Frenchman was
"A once heard TO say that a woman
with really good teeth could never
be plain This may be rather a sweeping
statement. but there is no doubt that
an otherwise plain appearance Is often
redeemed by a perfect set Of teeth
and the effect of many a pretty face
marred by bad teeth.
Perfectly formed, even. white teeth
are a natural gift. but much can be
done TO improve tho color and keep
them in good condition. chief among
these little attentions being careful
brushing night and morning. Now.
while every one cleans his or her teeth
in the morning. very many people, un-
fortunately for their teeth, neglect to
do so at night. and this is a very seri-
Gus mistake. During the night the
particles OF food which have lodged
between the teeth during the day pro-
duce incalculable damage, and IL but
two or three minutes be given TO
brushing them at night much OF the
decay would be arrested.
The presence Of tartar upon tho
teeth is a source Of annoyance 70 a
/ great many people. II is not only un-
/ slightly. but causes the teeth to ache
/ This tartar can be removed easily
without the aid Of a dentist. Purchase
a small piece OF magnesia, wet tho
toothbrush IN warm water, dip It into
the masnesia and rub the teeth upon
/ which the tartar has collected.
The value OF carbonate Of soda as a
preservativc Of the teeth cannot be too
highly priced II a pinch of it is added
to the water in which the teeth are
cleaned night and morning the benefit
derived will soon be realized. A good
plan Is to dissolve q teaspoonfri OF
the soda in tumbler OF water. dip into
this a coarse cotton or silk thread and
pass It up and down between the teeth
to remove any particles OF food which
may have gathered in the crevices.
Too great care cannot be exercised In
the choice Of tooth powder, and anv-
thing which processes TO whiten the
teeth may destroy the enamel and thus
do irreparable harm. once in six
weeks It is a good plan 20 brush the
teeth lightly with finely powdered
pumice stone.
At the first sign Of decay a dentist
should be consulted and the cavity
filed. for neglect 70 do this must result

although the modern art Of dentistry
Is now so perfect that false teeth can
be procured 10 look exactly like ones

same.
once mature years have been reach-
ed nothing can be don't for the shape
of the teeth or toward regulating their
position. but those who have the care
I Of children should see that these mat
ters are promptly attended TO by a
good dentist. for much OF the pain ana

through them could have been pre-
vented by a little attention in child
hood.
