Rev. James L. Barton, the &C
cOmplished secretary of the Ameri-
can Board, spent a few days last
week with relatives in Johnson and
came to ST. Johnsbury Saturday to
spend Sunday. On Saturday even
ing he addressed the Brotherhood of
the North church, the hospitable
home of G. G. Follensby being opened
for that occasion. DR.. Barton spoke
of present conditions in Turkey and
told the story of how Miss Ellen

culties that presented themselves
in delivering $4,000 in gold to the
brigands. Sunday morning he gave
an address on t'Man and Missions in
the North church, following it with
telling the Sunday school of how a
Koordish robber became a deacon.
DR.. Barton also spoke at the vesper

the world that can present the sub

attractively than DR.. Barton and all
who heard him are enthusiastic over
his addresses.

Patrick Barrett, An Unfortunate
Veteran to Receive Bounty

and PenSiOn.

D. P. Celley one of the members
of Chamberlin Post, G. A. r., re-
ocived communication the first of
the week from Calvin Stebbins of
Springfield, Mass, formerly of st.
Johnsbury, stating that there was
awaiting Patrick Barrett, who was
supposed to be living here, a bounty
of $500 and a pension of $15 a
month, for service in the Civil War.
Upon investigation it was found
that such a person was a resident
at the Town Farm where he has
been for a few weeks since his re-
turn from waterbury, and where he
was also an inmate previous to go
ing to Waterbury some time ago.
Mr.. Barrett enlisted from Charles
ton in Co. D, Third VT. Regiment,
and the bounty comes to him as a
native of Canada. Members of the
Post and other friends are making
efforts to assist Mr.. Barrett in re-
ceiving the money, which will enable
him to care for himself.

Mitcheli.-A grown daughter OF
James Hutchinson, living eleven miles
northeast of this city, was severely
burned and nearly lost her life when
a can of kerosene exploded while she
was attempting to start fire in the
kitchen stove. The father and moth
er were away from home and had left
their eldest daughter in charge of two
small children. In starting the fire
the girl stood too close to the stove
with the kerosene can, which ignited,
causing an explosion. The girl ran
from the house to a water tank stand
ing near the barn fifteen rods distant,
and plunged her body into the water.
The act saved her life The two
smaller children followed her from the
house and thus saved themselves. The
house, with all it's contents, was de-
stroyed. The girl was burned around
the upper portion of her body. and

THE TEA PENALTY.
"A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife Of an employe OF one OF che
great roads says:
my husband is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
Of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
''He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked It
strong.
"Tea has, OF late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or SO, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work In the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss Of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him. some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
at first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
It, and 1t somehow seemed to do him
good. he added 1t to his evening meal.
Then. as he grew better. he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal. and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
"His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired TO
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep Is
easy. natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
His brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given BY

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn. and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell OF. and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when I removed his
shirt.

mon OF the Rev. M. t. Dodd, pastor

congregation recently. In the course
OF his sermon the preacher said:
"In Revelations, twenty-first chap

tians have read where the dimensions
of heaven are only 1,500 cubic miles.
Immediately they jump at the conclu-
sion that even this space will not &c.

However. calculation will show
that this space will accommodate a

USE CLEAN WHEAT SEED
Best Way to Fight Rust, Says Gov
ernment Expert.

eminent Expert.
BYookings-FYederic ]. PYitchard,
of the bureau of plant industry Of tho
United States department Of agricul-
ture, who has been doing special ex-
perimental work at the state college
for some months, has just published
very important paper on rust in wheat
Prof. Pritchard has been making some
tests and experiments in the labora-
tory of Prof. Oliver at the state col
lege regarding the subject of rust, and
some very important discoveries were
made. An examination was made OF
last years crop IN the Brookings ele-
vators; wheat grown in a dry year and
comparatively free from rust 1t was
found that the wheat was sufficiently
infected with rust to carry over to
another year and thus carry the dis
ease. Prof. Pritchard also learned
that the rust fungus penetrates the
intercellular spaces and cells of tho
Seeding, and after termination passes
inD the spaces between the leaf
sheaths, where 1t grows rapidly and at
tacks the tissues at various points.
81 ne obvious remedy for avoiding
the ravages of this fungus" says Prof.
Pritchard, "is the use of clean seed.
1t is quite evident that only seed from
a crop free from rust should be plant
ed" The use of chemicals to destroy
the rust fungus is Of very httle value
because the fungus is protected.
