The Rev. w. A. Dawson, Bap-
fist state missionary. and Deacon
Willard Crane of the First Baptist
church of Burlington, have re-
turned from Westford. where they
went to inspect the site for new
Baptist church in that place. The
church now standing is over 100
years old and has become unsafe
because of the weight of the steeple,
which is breaking down the walls.
The walls have already begun to
crack badly. The parish in West
ford is a mall one and consequently
the convention will be obliged to
share a portion of the expense of a
new church. At the present time it is
not known what the cost of the new
structure will be. Nichols e Park

TO estimate the probable cost. The
new structure will bemodern in
every respect and will contain

A mammoth airship, under the
Af ~ oil
Construction company of Toledo,
Ohio. and said to be the largest
single passenger airship in the
country, will be one of the many
features for Burlington during ter
centenary week. The airship will
ascend every morning and afternoon
The contract made with the Frobel
people for an airship was repudi-
ated, F'robel not wishing to make
ascensions in the evening because Of
the danger OF alighting in Lake
Champlain. For the same reason the
Nassau people will make flights
only during the day. The ship which
comes to Burlington is rs feet in
diameter and has gas capacity OF
$4,000 cubic feet. An aerdome tent
lis feet in length and 46 feet wide,
will house the air ship and when
the huge ship is not in flight spec
tators will be given an opportunity
to examine the dirigible at close
range.

1t was discovered Thursday morn
ing that Fred Muir, a prisoner in
the Chittenden county Jail. has es-
capped some time during the previous
night. Muir is still at large. The
escape of the prisoner is not cred
it to the manner of construction of
the new jail. Muir wrenched one of
the iron brackets from his bunk in
the basement and first attempted to
wrench the iron screen from his
cell window. He abandoned this
ecort but succeeded with the brack-
ct in prying the cell door open. Or
dinarily he would have met with diff
ficulty thereafter but the jail has
settled to such an extent that it is
impossible to lock the basement
door so the prisoner opened it and
was free. Muir was alone and con-
seauently his efforts were unheard
Muir has bad record. He wa;
serving term of 70 days for steal
ing a bicycle and was held also OF
a charge Of grand larceny for steal
ing another. On his way between
the court room and Jail, following
his hearing, Muir escaped from tht
officer in charge but was recapturet
before he had made much progress
toward liberty.

Mayor James Logan and about 40
of the city officials of Worcester,
Mass, viewed Wednesday the dam
of the Connecticut River Power Co..
six miles below Brattleboro. One of
the plants of the American Steel e
Wire Co. in Worcester desires to
use power from the plant at Vernon
and bills have been presented be-
fore the Massachusetts legislature to
permit the power company to enter
the city with it's lines. There has
been considerable trouble in getting
the bills through, as the Worcester

to furnish power to Worcester.

The comparatively new farm build
ings, owned by Frank Emmons, To-
Gated about three miles from North
Daville, were destroyed by fire on
Thursday afternoon. The house
and two barns, with all their con-
tents except the live stock, were
destroyed and the loss is estimated
at $4,000 with insurance of but
about s1,4OO. The fire was discov-
cred on the roof of the building and
at the time had gained such head
way, that, together with the high
wind, it overcame all efforts to put
it out. The cause was probably
defective chimney. The nearest
neighbors live a half-mile away and
arrived too late to be of material
assistance.

Why Is Fat

Is It because one is born with tho ten
dency2 Or is II one of '1ife's trials?" Or
is it due TO just plain, hearty appetite? Z?
The doctors say not any one OF these
phrases the question correctly. They say
fat is because the fat persons digestive
organs are defective. Such organs. It
seems. don't change the fatty foods eaten
by stout persons Into heat and energy. as
they should. Instead the food fats pass
on into the system unconsumed. Hence
fat layers accumulate under the skin in
quiet spots. such as the chin. abdomen.
shoulder blades. &C.
Let that digestive defect be corrected
and the formerly fat person goes back to
his or her original shape. You can prove
this on yourself. Seventy-five cents will
secure from your druggist one OF the
large cases OF Marmols Prescription Tab
lets recently licensed for sale by the Mar
mola Company. Department S57, of De-
troit, Mich. Take one of these tablets
after each meal and at bedtime and the
demonstration starts right there. Very
soon you will experience a new sense Of
digestive comfort and a delightful feeling
of increased energy. which should be fol-
lowed in due season by a gradual. uniform
decrease Of your fat
During the demonstration period you
eat and drink as formerly. remember
The tablets need no help from either Diet
ing or exercising. Nevertheless. the daily
loss should approximate ten 10 sixteen
ounces
Now. WHY is it you get thing Why is
Il the fat just seems to slip away, leaving
your flesh smooth. firm. and wrinkleIess ?
Simply because Marmoia corrects that dl-
gestive defect thereby stopping further
fat accumulation and enabling the body
forces to harnlessly dissolve what has al
ready gathered.
