Peruna Secrets

Golden Seal, the root OF the above
plant, is avery useful medicine. Many
people gather it in our rich woodlands
during the summer. Few people know
how valuable it is In dyspepsia, catarrh.
and as general tonic.
Many thousand pounds of this root are
used each year in tho famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna. This fact explains why
everybody uses Peruna for catarrh.

Big Auction Sale Held.

Farnham's sixth big combination aue.

notwithstanding the stormy day and
bad travelling, was a marked success,
A large crowd was in attendance. Forty
horses, two mules, "a cows, one yoke Of
oxen, yoke of steers, colts, calves, pigs,
poultry, harnesses, sleighs, wagons,
robes, blankets, whips, halters, etc, went
through the ring and most of the prop
erty was disposed Of at satisfactory

chase what they do want And every
one that has done business with Horace

Senatorial talk about the three places
in Washington county has already
brought out so many possible candidates
that people are looking ahead to the
next census, which is confidently ex-
pected to give the county four senator
ships. In that event, it ought to be
possible for Barre and Montpelier to
have senator each session, instead of
alternating as they do now under the
three senator regime. The Importance OF
each city, coupled with the fact that
their collective growth will have made
the extra senatorship possible, entities
Barre and Montpelier to such recogni-
ton.

GAINING KNOWLEDGE OF FOR
ESTRY.

It is reassuring to see the growth of
the forestry idea in the United States
to the extent that not only states, but
cities and towns, are taking up the Sc
questration of forest tracts against the
time when the timber can be cut scien-
tifcally and at great profit. The pro.
gressiye forestry thought in Vermont
has not worked itself down to that
small geographical division, but the state
of Vermont is gradually enlarging the
scope of the work in a manner which
promises to bring wealth to Vermont in
due season. Far better than the direct
returns from that, however, is the effect
which the conservation movement is
making on the individual people of Ver-
mont, who more and more are coming
to realization of the benefits to be
gained by scientific cutting, rather than
indiscriminate slaughter of trees. And
too, the growth of the idea is coming
just in time to prevent the denuding Of
the Vermont hills of their splendid
riches. European countries, Germany in
particular, have shown us that it is both
possible to eat our cake and yet have it,
and we are learning the lesson.

The Vermont newspapers are fairly
shouting the Christmas glee--througli
their advertisements. Not in years, if
ever, have the papers so bulged with
advertising matter as the issues which
have come to hand this week. II is
not confined to the daily newspapers,
either, the weekly journals having full
columns and many being required to run
supplementary sheets to accommodate
the wants of the merchants. On the
whole, this is encouraging as indicating
healthy spirit of activity. Certainly
it is progressive for both the newspapers
and the advertisers.

KEEPING MONEY AT HOME"
To Be Consistent, Those Who Preach
This Plan Should Also Practice 1t.

o be consistent, nose VINO Freacn
This Plan Should Also Practice 1t.
People are not infrequently treated
to lectures on the Importance of pat
ronizing home INDUSTRIES" With
much that is said on this subject we
agree, but we go further and say that
those who advocate this should also
practice it, 1t would be well if the
people of each state should give pref
erence to articles manufactured in
their own state. If this be done mer-
chants must buy products of home
factories. This would mean prosperity
of home factories and larger markets
at home for farm products, says Farm
and Ranch.
When one is urged to ''spend your
money at home" it may be as well to
ask the person giving advice if he
practices what he advocates? If lie
does not, then he is patriotic tor reve-
nue. only and has small claim to con-
sideratiOn.
If the products of each state were
given preference, we should have fac
tories near home and benefits which
would come from that consideration.
We were told of manufacturer of
clothing in Lowell, Mass, who bought
material for a large lot of clothing
from a southern factory because he
could get it for a less price. This is
a reflection upon our people. There
should have been no products of south
ern factories for sale at less prices in
Lowell
Again. we heard of one case in which
products of a cannery were rejected
by merchants of the home town and
were shipped to a distant town for
market. merchant of the home
town then bought a large bill OF
canned goods and when they arrived
found them products of the home can
merry.
To patronize home industries is best,
but not best for consumers alone. 1t is
as good for middlemen as for cOnsum-
ers and should be enforced against men
who patrioticaIly urge others to keep
your money at home"
Where do you buy your goods, Mr..
Merchant?

His talents made his parents glad.
He travelled up and down the land
And gained renown and won applause,
And splendid things his parents planned
All for the wonder that he was.

A prodigy in youth; today
He MARBLES in a ten cent show!
