LIKE FINDING MONEY
D. F. Davis Offers Popular Medicine at
Half Price

D. F. Davis. the popular druggist, is
making an offer that is just like finding
money. for he is selling a regular so
cent bottle OF DR.. Towards celebrated
specific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia at half price. In addition to
this large discount, he agrees TO return
the money to any purchaser whom the
specific does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
ffty-cent pieces for quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it Is
only recently through the solicitation of
Druggist d. F. Davis that this medicine
could be bought for less than fifty cents.
He urged the proprietors to allow him
TO sell it at this reduced price for little
while, agreeing to sell a certain amount.
The result has justified his good judg-
mont. for the sale has been something
remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia. dizziness, sour stomach,
speeks before the eyes, or any liver trou-
bic. should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity, for DIR. Towards specific wiz
cure all these troubles. But if by any
chance it should not, ID. F. Davis win
return your money.

Will Represent Goddard at Yer
mont InterschoIastiC Meet
IN BURLINGTON SATURDAY
At Yesterdays Trials One Record Was
Equalled and Four Were Broken--Coach
Stacy Picked the Athletes to Garry
the Red and White Colors.

Trials in preparation for the annual
spring interscholastie meet at Burling-
toni next Saturday were held on the
seminary campus yesterday afternoon
for the Goddard seminary track squad
under the direction OF Coach Stacy, who
has rounded into shape one Of the
strongest, if not the best, track teams
that ever wore the colors of the red and
white. Yesterday one of the records
held by the seminary athletes was
equalled and four were broken, The
record equaled was the l00-yard DASH
The 220yard dash, 440-yard dash. $50
yard run and the hammer throw are the
new events to be established in the
seminary's book of records. Moses, a
former Exeter academy star, who en-
tered the seminary last fall, has the
honor of equalling the l00-yard and
smashing the 220-yard and 440-yard
events. LeBarron set the figures for the
half-miie run, with Capt. Sherburne es-
tablishing new measurements for the
hammer throw. The main object of the
trials was to get line on the squad in
comparison with the records of the last
meet at Burlington
Last year Coach Stacy returned with
score of 80 piled up by the representa-
tives of the hill school and this year he
is optimistic of even better results. In
the dashes, the school has man in
Moses that would be able to capture
places in the 100, 220 and 440-yard
dashes, and with Capt. Sherburne fglir-
ing prominently. LeBarron in the runs
shows signs of developing into star.
He has the stride, grace and stamina
necessary to accomplish the events. In
the field events, Capt. Sherburne should
uphold the distinction he has already
secured in interscholastic circles. Sher
burne has strong class of understudies,
including Cutting, Merrill and Root, The
only member of the squad to enter the
high Jump is Martin, who is new at
the seminary, and is fast developing
into star No entry has been made
for the pole-vaulting contest. Leland
will be the sole representative to be en-.
tered in the hurdles. Yesterday Craig
was not in condition to take part in the
spTIHts, oWlHR W leHchtu hHett DNb
will be in order Saturday to don the
spiked shoes. Craig, with the exception
Of Moses, is the speediest man on the
hill. The following comprise the squad
that Coach Stacy will accompany TO Bur
lington Capt Sherburne. Moses, Craig, |
Patterson, LeBarron, Goodere, Cutting, !
Martin, Leland. Merrill, and with pos
sibility of Whitcomb, the freshman, who !
has showed good form in the distance
run, joining the team.
The feature event of the afternoon
was the quarter mile contest. Moses |
won in the remarkable time of 50 2-5 |
sec. The course was about dozen feet |
short OF the regulation distance, but |
taking into consideration the poor track
it goes to show that the winner was
in prime shape and running with I'M
usual speed. The other contestants,
Sherburne and Patterson, finished but a
few feet behind Moses.
