STATE OWN FAIR GROUNDS,
Billings Family Of Woodstock Takes Notable
Gilt to Vermont.

White River junction, Aug. 70.
When the State fair commission
throws open the gates to the tar
grounds at White River junction for
the annual event, which takes place
September q, %, 20 and "a, the people
of the State will enter upon State prop
erty, or, in other words, their property,
The commission has just received
from the Billings family of Woodstock
a deed conveying to the State of Yer
mont the fair grounds at White River
Junction. The grounds contain 81
acres.
When questioned regarding the Bill
ings gift, one of the State fair commits
sion said
"While it is difficult always to estimate
the value of such property, it is safe to
say that the grounds and buildings
could not be duplicated for fifty thou
sand dollars. Not only is it a splendid
thing for a Vermont family to have
given to the people of the State such a
gift, but it sets great precedent for the
future and shows what can be accom-
plished in a little State like Vermont
when the mountain line is forgotten
and socialism and self interest are cast
aside and the whole State pulls together
in the interest of any State enterprise
"There is no question but that the
public spirit which prompted the great
gift of the Billings family was largely
due to the interest taken in the State
fair by the people of Vermont and tc
the fact that the undertaking was made
possible because the people as whole
both on the west side of the state al
we'll as on the east side, have taken a
strong interest in the success of the
fair.
"The people Of Vermont in Septem
Der will attend fair held upon grounds
owned by them and in which every per
son in the State has as much interest a.
every other person. This is one reason
why all should attend and make it {
great State gathering"

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog tho Pores Only q Liquid
Can Reach the inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many
different salves have been tried for
skin disease. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged
This the quality Of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil Of wintergreen as
compounded in d. d. d. Prescription
After ten years of cure after cure, the
worlds leading skin specialists have
accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at
SLIGO a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the d. d.
ID. Laboratories of Chicago for spec
ial large trial size bottle at % cents
on special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely
take away the itch at once.
