The following home treatment will
cure rheumatism and is harmless and

The ingredients are Fluid Extract

Chicago, March 9.-The government
received a body blow yesterday in the

rebate case when Judge A. B. Ander-
Z son declared the evidence to be Insult
ficient, which was submitted in proof
of publication of rate the violation
of which forms the basis of the indict-

rate over the Chicago & Alton from
Chappelle to ST. Louis.
If you have no better proof OF the
publication of this rate than the evil
dence of the Alton rate to East St
Louis plus the terminal rates to st.

ABUSE OF CREDIT

MERCHANTS
E. 7. GriswOld Writes of One of
BenningtOn'S Burdens
NON-SUPPORT OF MERCHANTS
lndisposition TO Pay Bills Seriously
Cramps Business Men Who
Need the Money.

Editor of the Banner Since my
financial embarrassment has become
so generally known throught the
closing of my store, | have received
letters and words of sympathy and
encouragement innumerable. But
aside from the fact that it is most
comforting to feel that have so many
friends, which l deeply appreciate, it
does not materially change the posi-
tion in which | find myself through
conditions not wholly subject to my
control.
May | not take this opportunity to
suggest that there are other mer-
chants in Bennington who are just
now in greater need of encouragement
and support than myself.
The trouble which every honest
business man has reason to fear, has
come upon me and whatever the out
come, am not going to worry further
about it. But how about the other
fellows that are hustling without sue
cess to collect bills due them from
those they have generously trusted
for the past year or so, and which
they need just as much or more than
the man who works for a daily wage
and expects his pay at regular in
teryals. And then think of the money
that is sent to the mail order houses
for clothing, hardware, shoes and
furniture Cash mind you It's the
local nanrphant Oh
the favors from.
And what about the soap business.
Do you really believe down in your
right ventrical that you can get $40
worth of soap, honest quality and
weight, and $40 piano thrown in as
premium, for two five dollar bills?
OF course you do, because the COM
panies sell so much soap they can af-
ford to do it to Advertise and get
you to tell your friends about it. just
as they say. But honest, have you
ever talked over the soap question
with the grocer to learn what he
could do for cash, and the same mix
ture of grease and lie?
Did you ever stop and figure up
how much saved on your purchases
in Troy Albany or North Adams. af-
ter adding car-fare, shoe-eather and
ham sandwiches?
There is enough money put in cir
culation here through our banks and
mills, every month, to make business
continually good if we believed in
the principles of home protection and
would spend our money where we
earned 1t, and think my present posi-
ton justifies an appeal to our patri-
otto citizens of all classes to give
your local merchants chance to
meet your requirements, at as low
prices as honest business will permit
and they In turn will respond, am
sure, by carrying a stock of goods
which your increased patronage will
warrent, and that all of us will have
reason to be proud of.
And say, If you have any of that
stuff which is called the root of all
evil', dig 1t up, and If you owe any
one give it to them, and get it into
circulation quick That will make
good times and good feeling. / sug-
gest this with the kindness motive
and with no intent to offend the most
delicate constitution, in the hope
that it may help to correct a condition
that very materially affects the pros
perity of Beautiful Bennington,

During a recent tour in the west, L.
7. Cooper made visits of several
weeks in various cities in Kansas,
where thousands of people talked with
him and purchased his medicine.
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be a reason for this Here is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
ject. He said:
THE immense numbers Of people
who are calling on me here in the
west is not unusual. ] have had the
years wherever 1 have gone. The
reason is a simple one. 1t is because
my medicine puts the stomach into
good condition. This does not sound
unusual, but it is in fact the kew to
health. The stomach is the very
foundation of life. 1 attribute 70 per
cent. of all sickness directly to the
stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with a poor digestive appa-
ratuS. Few can be sick with a diges-
ton in perfect condition. AS a mat
ter of fact, most men and women to-
day are ha.lf-sick. It is because too
much food and too little exercise have
gradually forced the stomach into
gets the stomach back where it was,
and that is all that is necessary"
Among Kansas people who are
stanch believers in Mr.. Cooper's the
Dry IS Mr.. J. L. Hayslip, residing at
202 Kansas avenue, Oakland, Kansas.
He says;
For some time I have been a suf-
ferer from rheumatism. 1t finally
became so bad that I could not sleep
at night, and I was getting worse
