CAUSES 95 PER CENT OF
\ DISEASES
Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy Them.

Do not neglect Indigestion which leads
to all sorts of ills and complications. An
eminent doctor once said that ninety-five
per cent OF all the ills of the human body
have their origin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a speciality Of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia,
after years of study perfected the formula
from which ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets are
made.
Our experience with ReXall Dyspepsia
Tablest leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the relief
of acute indigestion and chronic dyspep-
STA. Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inhamed membranes OF the
stomach. They are rich in pepsin one of
the greatest digestive aids known 10
medicine. The relief they afford is almost
immediate. Their use with persistency
and regularity for a short time brings
about a cessation of the pains caused by
stomach disorders
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro-
mote nutrition. AS evidence of our sim
cere faith in ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets,
we ask you to try them at our risk. II
they do not give you entire satisfaction,
we will return to you the money you paid
us for them, without question or formal
ity. They come in three sizes, prices 20
cents, 80 cents and $1,0O. Remember you
| can obtain them only at our store,-The
Rexall Store-The Brooks House Phar-
| macy, c. e. GRAHAM, proprietor.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Speaker Howe and Clerk Pumlev were
presented each with n gold watch on he
half of members of the House on Friday
evening. The presentation of gifts was
made by Representative McCuen of Yer
Gennes and Representative Rabbit Of
Rockingham.
The total expense to the state of the
session of the Legislature which closed
Sunday morning was about $4,000. The
members drew for mileage and debentures
for Of days S130,675.GO, which is $4,000
more than was paid on this account two
years ago, The salaries of those who re-
ceived their pay through the state auditor
are about $4,000 in excess of this.
The closing act was the vote on the
Governors veto of the bill placing fiat
rate of 20 cents on the dollar of the grand
list on intangibles in the shane of moneys
and securities. The House had not dis
cussed the bill and while it sustained all
other vetoes of the Governor unanimous
ly it voted rs to GO to pass this bill over
the veto. The Speaker, after obtaining
the opinion of the attorney general, ruled
that the veto was sustained because two
thirds of the House necessary to pass a
bill over a veto was not present.
The House adopted a joint resolution
introduced by Mr.. Amey of Brighton pro-
viding for the appointment of a commits
sion by the Governor to serve without
pay, to procure bronze medallion Of
some veteran of the Civil war to be
placed in the state house. In supporting
this resolution Mr.. Amey suggested that
it would be appropriate to have this me-
dallion of Gov John \. Mead, as in all
human probability he is the last member
of the Grand Army of the Republic who
will ever occupy the chair of chief exc
cutive of Vermont.
On his return to Rutland after the leg
| islative session Gov. John \. Mead said
| his general impression of the work of the
| legislature was that it was especially
praiseworthy as radical reformation was
| attempted along very important lines.
Taking over the normal school property
at Randolph and buying adjoining real
estate for the purpose of an agricultural
| school he said was a great advance
toward the development of our agricul-
| tural interests. lie said five or six more
| such schools should be established. lie
thought the legislature of 1910 had done
more than any other in the past 10 years
| for the cause of education, and as evil
dence of that he pointed to the fact that
teachers training courses were to he es-
tablshed at once in 10 high schools
| which will provide teachers for the rura
! communities. Governor Mead also was
| pleased with the advance toward road
| improvement made by the appropriation
of $3.50 900 annually for the next two
years for expenditure on the highways

Criticised Press and LEGISLATURE.

The Vermont Ant-Saloon league held
its annual meeting in Burlington Monday.
Supt. Clarence j, Ferguson announced his
wish not to be reelected and although
the trustees, believing him to be a wise
leader and the best man available, re-
elected him by a luminous vote, he did
not reverse his decision, but took the
matter under advisement. His annual
report showed that 95 per cent of the
Vermont churches which We're expected
to federate i'm the league were co-operat-
ing in its work. He criticised the YER
mont press and said that it was largely
and openly in league with liquor or largely
silent about it," A resolution was adopted
criticising the legislature for it's refusal
to pass effective progressive temperance
legislation and especially its failure to
submit a referendum" These officers
were elected: Pres, Henry o. Wheeler
of Burlington; vice pres, c, II. Hayden of
Riverside, C. d. Gay of Cavendish and
Prof. f. A. Bishop of Montpelier; treas,
T.. G. Evans of Burlington; supt, c. j.

Interesting Dedcatoy Exercises Held Friday Night with State
Master C. F. Smith One of the Participants for Past

The dedication of Wlliamsville's new
Grange hall took place Friday evening
and was the best affair by far that has
been held in town in recent years. At
SIS o'clock the exercises began, the
officers of the Grange being escorted to
their station at the head of the hall by
Ernest Morse and Miss Helen Lewis. II. a.
Williams of the building committee pre-
sented the keys of the building to the
master, w. Harry Temple, and he in
turn gave them to the state master, c.
+. Smith, who in a brief charge, placed
the building in care of the master, who
made response of acceptance.
The officers then proceeded with their
