DYSPEPSIA ON THE DECLINE.
Seaver's Dyspepsia Tablets Cure Forty
nine Cases Out of Fifty.

Why anyone in Barton should con-
tinue to suffer with indigestion when
box of SEAvER's DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
will cure, is certainly mystery. The
E. w. Barron 90. has been selling
SEAVER' SDYsPEPsIA TABLETSf or some
time, and we know from actual ex-
perience right in our own store lust
what SEAVER's FAMOUS DYSPEPSIA
TABLETS Will do, and if you inquire of
The E. W. Barron Co. druggists they
will tell you they never knew a rem
edy to prove so decidedly bene fetal in
the treatment of Indigestion, dyspep-
STA, palpitation, sleeplessness and 9TH
er forms of stomach trouble.
It certainly ought to give you conf
dence when you know that every soc.
box of SEAvER's DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
contains 20 days treatment, and at
the end of that time if you are not de-
cidedly benefited all you need to do is
to go back to the dealer and get your
money. SEAvER's DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS are sold right on their own mer-
its. They cure Indigestion simply
by toning up the stomach and diges-
tive organs so that the food will as
simulate and give strength to the sys-
tenn just as nature intended. SEA-
vER's DYSPEPSIA TABLETS are such a.
nerve tonic too. Just TRY a box and
see if it don't give you new energy,
new ambition and new courage to car
ry out your plans and daily work. IF

Farmers Mix Your Own Fertilizers.
Do you know that home mixing of
fertilizers has proved to be the most
economical and satisfactory method
of procuring fertiIiz 9rs? 1t is now
generally conceded by up to- date ag-
riculturalists that better results are
obtained by buying the crude mate
rails and mixing fertilizers especially
adapted to the different crops you
raise, and the varying conditions Of
the soil found on the farm.
If you will send us your name on a
postal with request therefor, we will
send you free, postpaid, number of
formulas which were made up for US
by the director Of the Vermont Ex-
pertinent Station and which have
been used by many Vermont farmers
with excellent success. We will also
give full directions for mixing fertili-
zers adapted to all the crops COM
monty raised on Vermont farms.

Wrong Views of the Census.
Washington, D. G.
March 2. 1910.

washington, u. u.
March 2, 1870
Letters from the census supervisors
to the United States Census Bureau
show the erroneous apprehension OF
a considerable element of the popula-
tion that their answers to the emu
merator's questions in the next GEN.
sus, beginning April Is, this year.
will cause increased taxation, legal
entanglements. or injurious conse-
Quences to their persons or their
property.
In order to nuiet such unfounded
fears, which would, unless removed,
materially affect the accuracy of the
census, the bureau has prepared an
official statement relative to the de-
cennial census, it's origin, purpose and
uses.
This statement should furnish com
plete assurance to those concerned
that information given to the enumer-
ators is held by the Census Bureau in
the strictest confidence with reference
to the identity of the informants, as
required by the policy of the Bureau
and commanded by the law of the
United States.
The Bureau earnestly hopes that
clergymen, priests, physicians, school
teachers, employers, and other public
! spirited citizens who come in contact
with large numbers of people, will CO.
operate with the bureau by telling
persons who are believed to enter
tain erroneous opinions of the census
the real facts and urging them to
give full replies to the enumerators,
Teachers are. particularly requested
to speak of the census to the school
children and ask them to tell their
parents about it.
The statement issued by the bureau
explains that the constitution re.
quires a census of the population ia
be taken every ten years in order tc
reapportiOn state representation in
the National House of Represent
tives. 1t is the means also to ascer.
tain the increase in the population,
agriculture, Industries, and resources
of the entire nation since the last
census.
1t is emphatically declared by the
statement, that the information
sought from the people of the United
States is used solely for general sta
tistical purposes. It will neither BIZ
published nor used in any other way
to disclose facts regarding any indi
Vluudl VI enterprise. Inc census, Il
goes on to say. is not, never has been
and can not be employed to obtain in
formation that can be used in any
in the assessment of property for pul
poses of taxation or the collection o.
taxes, either national, state, or local
or for deportation proceedings, ex
tradition measures, army or navy con
scription, nternal-revenue investiga
tions, compulsory school attendance
child-labor law prosecutions, quaran
tine regulations. or property of any
person.
1t points out that replies to TIT
enumerators are and must be held b!
the Census Rureau in strict and abso
lutte confidence. All the bureau off
Gals, supervisors, supervisors clerks
enumerators, and interpreters, befor,
entering upon their duties, ar,
obliged to take solemn oath not t,

Egypt Made First Pens.

Pens were first made in Egypt and
were made of a kind of reed. The
ancients did not seem to know that
good pens could be made from goose
quilts. One Isidore, who died in 636.
mentions both reeds and feathers as
suitable for pens, Swan quilts as be-
ing even better than goose quilts were
referred to in 1920. Steel pens were
invented in the first part of the nine
teenth century. People were slow to
use them. because the metal was not
sufficiently elastic. Perry cut Sits in
steel pens in 1880. and that settled
goose quills.

Valuable Dairy Doomed
All the cattle tested recently at
the Green Mountain Stock Farm at
Randolph and found to be infected
with tuberculosis will be slaughtered
shortly under the direction of the
state commissioner. The barns and
premises will be thoroughly disinfected
and new pure blood Jerseys, which
have been duly tested, will be intro
duced. The condemned herd consist
ed of 81 head of high grade Jerseys.
With the exception of nine calves and
yoke of oxen, all responded to the
test. The herd cannot be replaced
with equally good blooded stock for
$40, 600, and in the interruption of
business the proprietor, C. F. Moul-
ton, will sustain heavy loss. The
butter produced from this dairy
brought fancy price from private
purchasers in Boston and New York
and is served on one steamship line
from New York to Queenstown. It
has been suspected that tuberculosis
existed in this herd for the past IL
years. At the beginning of that Pc
Rod an agreement was reached be-
tween the cattle commission and the
owner whereby none of the livestock
was to be disposed of in the state until
the herd was clear of the disease. II
is generally conceded that bovine tn.
berculosis cannot be transmitted tc
the human system through butter, sc
these interstate shipments have not
endangered the health of the consum
er in any way.

WITH A KNIFE.

One OF the commonest feats with
the jack-knife is to cut a chain out
of a single piece of wood, says the
Rosary Magazine. This is not diff
cult and forms therefore an excellent
design with which to begin
IA making the chain a piece of
wood Is first trimmed into the form
of a cylinder or roller, perhaps an
inch In diameter and as long as the
chain is to be-six or eight inches
will do very well.
In this cylinder four deep, long fur
rows are then cut in such a way that
the end OF the block, instead OF being
round, now looks like a cross with
four equal arms, each arm being the
end of long rib that extends length
wise along the block
The next step is to cut notches in
the ribs at equal distances from each
other and in such way that in/each
rib the notches shall correspond ex-
actly to those of the opposite rib,
while in two other ribs the notches
alternate with these
The position and general form of
the links in the chain should now be
apparent and one may begin to hOl-
low out the inside of them. To do
this hole should be cut through one
of the still solid links. AS soon as
these links are loose they can be
rapidly rounded and smoothed as well
as trimmed as slender as may DO de-
sired.
Another design, which is scarcely
more difficult than the chain, is the
ball in a cage. This is whitfield out
OF a single block OF wood.-NeWaSk

BATTLE OF THE HORNET" AND
PEACOCK"

There was a little sea engagement
brushed off ninety-three years ago to-
day, just east of the Southern coast
of the United States, which has gone
into history as an incident to show
the prowess OF the American sailor
in the early stages OF our navy The
American navy had in it's list Of sea
lighters the Wasp, the Hornet, the
Viper, and other names with a sting"
to it. The British vessel Peacock
had been haughtily proving about
the Southern coast OF the United
States during the early part OF our
war with England, and the gallant
Capt. Lawrence decided to put a stop
10 her depredations.
IL was late in the afternoon of Feb
ruary "a. 1913, that Lawrence sight

Banks, and gave chase. The little
Englishman was game and stood her

said Lawrence, "as my clerk got Il

When the Peacock surrendered she
was SO rlddled with bullets that the
captors found her sinking. The Hor-

British loss was heavy, but the
