NOW ON STRIKE.
Millions of Stomachs Refuse to
do Their Work Properly.

All over this broad land millions of
stomach owners are being held in humil-
iating subsection just because they are
so stubborn that they will no accept a
fair, square and broad minded offer.
Life is short for all of us; it nil be
shorter for those who let their stomachs
go from bad to worse.
w. II. Sheldon has "a famous prescrip-
ton called Mona, and he believes SO
thoroughly in its remarkable curative
power that he says to every owner of a
distressed stomach that he will guaran-
tee Mona tablets to cure acute or chron.
ic Indigestion and all stomach ailments,
or money back, and the price is only 80
cents a box.
And still there are stubborn people
right in Middlebury who won't accept
this offer, but continue to suffer from
gas on stomach, belching of sour food
stomach pains, foul breath, dizziness,
biliousness and headaches, Just because
just because-that's all, there is no
other reason.
Mona tablets stop dyspeptic agony in
hve minvtes; they cure obstinate cases
of indigestion, and turn the old stomach
into a new n in a few weeks, or money
back.

gresham Foster the honor of being the
best dressed and most comely man in
public life in this state today. Rutland
Herald.
This sidelight fancy on the prize ge-
raniums of the political garden may be
highly pleasing to the men who are tag
ged for admiration, but in the campaign
next year the Republicans of Vermont
will not be looking for political posies,
c%otillion leaders or fashion plates. They
will want a mar with brains and convic-
tons. - Brattleboro Phoenix.
The Phoenix editor evidently had a
bad attack of nightmaritis shortly be-
fore he wrote his part of the above, but
then, he may possibly be forgiven if, as
is generally understood, that paper is
tied to the tail of Lieutenant-Governo
Mead's kite. However, it is a direct
Slap at three of Vermont's most promi-
lent men; men who have proved their
because these three have some regard
for their personal appearance does not
necessarily indicate that they are
lacking in the qualifications that make
for craftsmanship or good citizens.
Quite the reverse. The Phoenix harks
back to the days of our childhood when
we shouted dude at the man who
happened to have his trousers creased
and his shoes freshly polished, all of
which is decidedly unworthy of our big
brother in the organ town. Prouty has
made a good governor, Foster has hon
ored the state as its representative at
Washington, and Fleetwood has made
good in every public Office he has ever
held. Why shouldn't he make a good
chief executive? A mar may be cor
rectly dressed and still have the proper
amount of gray matter under his derby,
as witness the three above mentioned.
1t might not be a bad idea for the
Phoenix mar to absorb into his system
a gentle sleeping potion the night be-
fore his editorial arm gets into opera
flor.

A Healthy Increase.

Middlebury College, which opened the
tall term yesterday, is certainly being
talked about these days, in the press of
the Country as well as by individuals.
The Rutland News says in a recent
issue:
"Middlebury college when it opens
for its 10th year next week has an
lnn~ovation-its first woman professor,
who will be dean of women students.
This is a progressive move. BY the
way, the faculty of Middlebury college
shows an increase this ear of So per
cent. in size. This is probably the re-
cord of New England colleges"
Of course this is a progressive move.
and the increase in the faculty of fifty
1--WE per cent. is not only a record but
shows that MIDI is moving along
abreast of the times-or a little ahead
OF them. We who know the college
and the gentlemen who compose II
faculty have great faith in its future.

The Wronu Kent.

The Rutland Herald of Saturday got
its wires somewhat tangled when il
said that Fred Kent of Salisbury had
been indicted by the Windham county
grand jury for the murder of his father.
However, the Herald made good the
error by saying:
IAN error in transcribing a telegram
ascribed the recent Kent atrocity to
Fred Kent of Salisbury when Fred
Kent of Townshend was meant. The
Salisbury man is n of his towns best
citizens and is inclined to insist that he
has not killed anybody, a fact that
really goes without saying"
Addison county has enough to answer
for without making US responsible for
the sins of Windham county.

a great expenditure of money to bring
about the desired result, necessarily,

possibilities of Middlebury, the oppor-

development of our resources, would
put their shoulders to the wheel and
help in the good work, our future pros
