be given the best possible care.
The throat is the gateway to the body.
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the
liquids we drink, all pass through it. It is
very easily affected by cold, strain, ex-
posure, ETC., and Sore Throat is therefore
one Of our most common ailments.
Strangely enough, it is also one of the
most neglected.
Sore Throat is very serious matter,
for the whole system is in danger in
consequence of it.
Every Sore Throat patient is a candidate
for Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Diphtheria and
other serious or fatal diseases, all of which
ian be prevented by the timely cure of the
Sore Throat by the use of TONSILINE.
III taken in time dose or two will do it,.
TONSILINE is Inade to cure throat dis
eases and nothing else. u is the one
remedy for this purpose sold largely in the
United States. Every user endorses it:
every physician, knowing its virtues,
commends it.
The one most important thing TO
remember about T0NSiLlNE is fire S~1N
fact that it really does cure Sore

How To Stop
Stubborn Cough

We don't mean just stop the irri-
tation in your throat--but cure the
underlying cause.
Cough syrups cannot do this. 1t
takes a constitutional tonic body
builder to do the work properly
and cure you to stay cured. Vinol
is the remedy you need.
HERE Is PROOF
Mrs. Minnie Osgood, of GIens Falls,
N. ", writes;-" After trying several REM
edies for a bad cough and cold without
benefit. L was asked To try vinol. 1t
worked like magic. IL cured my cold
and cough and gained i'm health and
strength. L consider VinoI the most
wonderful tonic and invigorator L ever
saw"
If we cannot stop that cough
with VINOL-our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic-which is made
without Olive will not charge
you a cent for the medicine you
buy. This seems like pretty fair
proposition-and ought to be ac-
cepted. Don't you think so? With
this understanding we ask you to
try bottle of VINOL.

Between $50 and 800 Dead.

Estimates of the loss of life in the
food which overwhelmed the town
of Austin. PENN, Saturday, happily
diminished ON Monday when an army
of volunteers worked its way into the
mass of wreckage. In the opinion
of many on the ground the number
of deaths will not reach $50, while
tho less hopeful place the fatalities
at 800. The property loss will ex-
coed 100000. and it is the gen.
sral opinion that the town will never
be rebuilt.
1t was on Saturday afternoon
while the men of Austin were at
work that the big Bayless dam a
mile and half north of the town
broke aud 5OO,OOO,OO0 gallons of
water rushed in wall 10 feet high
and overwhelmed the place. Every
structure in the path of the food
was wrecked. Great damage was
also done TO the villages of Costello
and Wharton. which were in the
path of the food.
Early estimates Of the deaths
placed them as high as 800 The
food did not spend its force until it
had raced more than 10 miles from
the reservoir. So sudden was the
breaking of The dam that practically
no warning was given to the people
of Austin. Austin lie situated in
Potter county. Pa which is one of

A Word for Neglected Friends.

There is much praise for YER
mont's poets. historians, story-tellers,
nature writer's. and champion foot
ball teams - and now and then the
shrinking statesmen - for what they
have done and are doing for the fame
of the state and the increase Of its
population. And now we should
turn our appreciative attention to
artists. to painters and illustrators,
for glance at good picture or
group of pictures viii do more toward
calling attention to the natural beau
ties of Vermont than endless litera-
ture on tho subject. We should
cultivate the artists, for they can help
ne.
Other places owe much to our
artist friends, and they can do as
much for vermont's beauty spots
A few painters made Cornish
famous. Before they went there, and
took others to it, there was little
more than vague general knowl-
edge of place in New Hampshire
called Cornish Flats name not
suggestive of wealth, prosperity or
of good sanitation. But now
Cornish--plain Cornish--with its
beautiful scenery, artistic homes and
the retiring jewellers therein is
pretty we'll known to the world.
Artists first pointed out and paint
cd the beauties of Mount Desert, and
now Old Lyme. Connecticut. has
been made to live again. by favor OF
the makers of pictures.
The moral of all this is that we
should cultivate the artists, and buy
their pictures. They can do more
for Vermont than most of the we'll
meaning writer's of prose or unin
spired versifiers We should make
friends with them. give them the
credit which is their due--to help
ourselves if not to help them.
