Compare the Service.

: Herald advertising space is more
valuable than the space in the high
priced magazines and periodicals.
The Herald gives more circulation
and better service for the money
charged than do the big magazines
and papers. Herald advertising is
better than any other medium.

Headache
For Years

81 keep DR.. Miles Anti-Pain
Pills on hand all the time, and
would not think of taking a
journey without them, no mat
ter how short a distance l am
going. have sister that has
had terrible headaches for years,
and l coaXed her to try them
and they helped her so much,
she now keeps them by her all
the time. From my own exper-
fence 1 cannot praise them
enough
MRS. LOU NJ. CHURCHILL,
o. High ST., Penacook, N. H.
Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer-
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.
Get a package from your drug
gist. Take it according to direc-
tons, and if it does not benefit
he will return your money.

Bilious People
Try II Free

DO not ignore the little disorders
of the system. The liver, for example,
is a particularly needful little organ,
but must be active to be of any use.
When it is active it creates gastric
juices that help to make digestion
perfect, and then you are well. When
it is not active it becomes what is
known as torpid" and promptly pro-
duces bilioushess.
There is no better cure for biIiousness
or any of the symptoms Of liver trouble
than Dr.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, the
wonderful laxative tonic of which 50 much
praise is heard. 1t is pleasant TO take (un-
ike pills and powders and such things)
and acts very gently, moving the bowels
without gripping, toning the stomach and
arouslng the liver to activity, thus scier-
ness, torpid liver, foul breath, sallow or
plmply complexion, sick headache, con-
stpaton, loss of appetite, indigestion,
stomach nervousness, etc, all OF which
are due to a slow liver.
Mack Clark, OF Darlington. KY. suffered
Tor five years from biliousness and cured
himself with DR.. CaldwelFs Syrup Pepsin-
Noah B. Hatfield, of Zalma, Mo-, found It
the best medicine in the world for his
biliousness.

BETTER RAILROAD SERVICE.

The grievances of the West River Val
ley Lumberman's association against the
Central Vermont railroad which were
scheduled to be heard before the State
amicably settled Thursday night af-
ter an all days conference between
the officials of the West River lum-
bermen.
The lumbermen protested against the
manner in which the railroad did their
business along their West River Valley
branch and also objected to the condition
of the road and the facilities for trans
portation The railroad agreed to keep
the stations on the road open longer hours
to supply sufficient cars to take care of
the freight and passenger traffic, to re-
duce the freight rate to a minimum of
10000 as heretofore to reduce the mini
mum weight on bark and chair stock to
an equality with the reduced lumberrate
ami they fixed a much lower rate on
cordwood. The most important con-
cession was the billing through of all
goods sent by freight The officials also
agreed to repair the ties, tracks, fish
plates, bridges pnd connecting equipment
and to refit all portions of the line.
