SOME REASONS. WHY

: ooAn Ia NCaoolso w Al
our business has grown so rapidly.
lst! We are making business of
handling real estate while many others
only take it up as a side line in con-
nection with some other business. End.
We devote all our time to real es-
tate. 3rd. We believe in printers
ink and shall use it freely. During the
past year we have advertised little.
Some months we have paid over 800
for advertising alone. / heard man
brag one day about paying out over
500 in a year to advertise large bus
mess. We now propose to increase
our advertising and are starting the
greatest advertising campaign ever
started by any real estate firm in
Vermont. No matter what you have
to sell or exchange or where it is locat-
ed there is someone somewhere who
wants just such property. We help
you to find them. If you have proper
ty to sell or exchange talk with us.
Our terms are right. our methods are
right and we will use you right We
are not here to Go our patrons, we
are here to do a larger. better real
estate business than has ever beer
done in this section of the country.

l want to tell you what travelling
man told US. He said he never saw
real estate business grow as fast as
ours has for the past year. We were also
told by another man who is in pssi-
ton to know (having done business. Jail
through Vermont the past Year, THAT
we were selling more farms than. any
other agency in the state.

LESS Than HALF
ITS CARS IN USE
Philadelphia Street Car Com
pany Badly Crippled.

Philadelphia, June 2.-Extraordinary
efforts are being made by the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit company, the
majority of whose motormen and con-
ductors are on strike for higher wages
and better working conditions, to in
crease the number of cars in opera
ton. While the service is still badly
crippled, less than so per cent of the
cars being in operation, conditions
are slightly improved. Several hun
dred new men, brought from other
cities and picked up here since the
strike was inaugurated last Saturday,
have been put to work under the pro-
lection of the police.
In all parts of the 100 square miles
OF the city people who under ordinary
circumstances never walk to or from
their places of employment are walk
ing. most of them compelled to do so
because of the lack of transportation
facilities. but thousands from choice
through. sympathy for the men. The
Reading, Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio railroads are carrying more
than 80 per cent of the people from
the outlying sections. Each company
has opened new ticket windows and
extra equipment has been drawn from
other sections to handle the increased
traffic. There has been no effort made
by either side to the struggle or by
third parties to end the strike by
peaceful means.

! Healthy Food Easy Work
IF It Takes Your Strength to
Digest Your Meal You Can't
Do Much Work.

The power to overcome all the all
ments of human life, and to meet all
the difficulties which life presents is
within the province of every individual,
says one writer of authority.
He might have added with equal truth
most of our ailments we bring upon our
selves, and very often we alone are re-
sponsible for our difficulties. Wrong liv-
ing causes many ailments. Rich, greasy
foods at all times, day or night, cause
stomach disorders which must vitality af-
feet every part of the system becoming
quickly chronic.
Start the day right with a sensible
breakfast of E-C Corn Flakes or Egg-O-
See Wheat Flakes. They are always ready
to serve-crisp and delicious They satisfy
the hunger and give health and strength
without overlooking the digestive powers.
Many chronic stomach has been restored
to health by Egg-O-See breakfasts Of
crisp fakes of corn or wheat served with
good milk or cream and little fruit of
some kind.
Remember it is the original and Justly
famous Egg-O-See process that makes the
&c Corn Flakes and Egg-O-See Wheat
Flakes SO nice and crisp and healthful.

Seattle, Wash, June Mrs. George
Shea of Duluth Mimi, who is visiting

Her husband, who intended to fol

and she and her sister decided to

Objection Delays Action on His Pro-
posal, but There Appears to Be Lit
tie Doubt of It's Adoption When a
Vote Is Taken-Rhode Island Sen.
ator and Doliver Of Iowa Clash
Over Cotton Schedule.
Washington, June Apparently
the senate is upon the eve of night
sessions for the consideration of the
tariff bill. Senator Aldrich, chairman
OF the committee on finance, indicated
In an official way an intention of ask.
Ing for such sessions by presenting a
resolution providing that the daily
sessions begin at 1920 a. m. and con
t1nue until IL p. M, with an intermis-
sion of two and a half hours from
$3.50 to p. m.
Senator Culberson, the Democratic
caucus leader, prevented immediate
consideration of the resolution by
making an objection, which had the
effect of forcing the resolution over
for day. There is no doubt that the
Republican majority, including the
sprogressives," will support the AL
drich resolution.
During the discussion caused by
the resolution Mr.. Aldrich stated that
unless greater progress should be
made during the next week still long
er hours will be necessary. Senator
Bailey characterized the remarks of
the chairman of the finance committee
as "a threat. but Mr. Aldrich de-
c]ared that such was not the case and
in support of his declaration called
the senate to witness the fact that
there had been no effort to curtail de-
bate on the tariff .. ~.-
Cotton Schedule Considered.
Taking up the cotton schedule Mr..
Aldrich proposed amendments reduc-
ing from Is to 20 per cent ad valorem
the minimum duty that may be
charged on spool thread of cotton,
crochet, darning, embroidery. cottons
on spools, etc, and from 20 to Is per
cent the minimum on cotton thread
and carded yarn, etc. These amend
ments were agreed to.
A clash between Senator Aldrich
and Senator Dolliver occurred when
the senator from Iowa attempted to
obtain agreement to an amendment to
replace with ad valorem rates a line
of specific rates on cotton cloth, not
bleached, dyed, mercerized, colored,
stained or printed Mr.. Dolliver de-
clared that this amendment was to
prevent increases in the rates on 70
per cent of the articles affected, &C
cording to the book of estimates COM
piled by the committee on finance.
Resisting this amendment Mr.. Al
drich referred to senators who bring
importers briefs here" to affect the
schedules. In reply Mr.. Dolliver de-
clared that he did not propose to
submit without protest to insinua~
tons that I stand here reading any
briefs or that represent anybody
except the people of the United
States"
