AOIIlo BIB d HALO HGlBu-lO
For the Christmas long ago
When the old log cabin homed us
From the night OF binding snow,
And the rarest Joy held reign.
And the chimney roared amain,
With the freight like beacon
Through the frosty windowpane.
All, the revel and the din
From without and from within,
The blend of distant sleighbells
With the blinking violin.
The muffied shrieks and cries,
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes.
The driving storms Of greetings,
Gusts of kisses and surprise!
Sing in again the mirth
OF the circle round the hearth,
With the rustic Sindbad telling us
The strangest things on earth.
And the minstrel bard we knew,
With his "Love-i-er so true
Likewise his Young House-k' carpenter
And Lowed Henry" too!
And forgetting ne'er thing.
Lift gladder voice and sing
OF the dancers in the kitchen
Clean from start to pigeon wing"
Sing the glory and the glee
And the joy and jubilee.
The twirling form, the quickened breath,
The sigh OF ecstasy.
But eyes that smile alone
Back into our happy own.
The leaping pulse. the laughing blood.
The trembling undertone!
Ho pair US off once more.
With our feet upon the floor,
But our heads and hearts in heaven,
AS they were in DAYS of yore!

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness is too Generally Con-
sidered q Sign Of Advanced
Ace,

A bald-headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with a
healthy head of hair, because badness
is too generally accepted as an indication
of age. Many large corporations have
established an age limit. and refuse to
take men over 35 years of age as new
employees.
Probably 65% of bald headed people
may regain good head of healthy hair
if they will follow our advice and accept
our offer. We have a remedy that we
positively guarantee to grow hair on
any head, unless the roots of the hair
are entirely dead, their follicles closed,
and the scalp has become glazed and
shiny. We want people to try this
remedy at our risk, with the distinct
understanding that unless it does exactly
what we claim it will, and gives salts
faction in every respect, we shall make
no charge for the remedy used during
the trial.
We know exactly what we are talking
about, and with this offer back of our
statements no one should scott, doubt
our word, or hesitate to put our remedy
to an actual test.
We want every one in Middlebury who
is suffering from any scalp or hair
trouble, dandruff, falling hair, or bald
| resS TO try our heXall 'So' HAIR Tonic.
We want them to use it regularly
say until three bottles have beer used
and if it does not eradicate dandruff
cleanse and refresh the scalp, tighten
the hair in its roots. and grow new hair,
we will return every cent paid us for
the remedy for the mere asking. There
is no formality expected, and we exact
no obligations from the user whatever.
We are established right here in Mid
dlebury. and make this offer with full
understanding that our business success
entirely depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers, and we
would not dare make the above offer un-
less we were positively certain that we
could substantiate it in every particular.
Remember, you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in this community only at our
sto.e-The Rexall Store. Sheldon's
Drug Store.

Pensiar Re m edies.

We wish to make you acquainted with
the PENSLAR REMEDIES. We want
you to know what they are, the purposes
for which they are prepared, what they
can do for you and when and how you
should use them. In other words, we
wish to take you into our confidence
and toTstate fully and frankly the
object and utility of the several
preparations, as we'll as their limita-
tons, in order that you may become
familiar with the character of these
remedies and may know 1.-THE reason
why" insevery instance.
1t is we'll understood that there are
many ailments and diseases which for
variety Of reasons do not come under
the observations and care of the family
physician. In the slight ailments and
injuries which are of every day &C.
currence, household remedies are uni
versally employed. 1t is because of
this fact that the Penslar remedies have
been prepared and are offered to the
public. They consist of series of well
made, scientific preparations, each one
designed for particular purpose, and
each one the best combination of reme-
dies that can be secured for the treat
ment of that particular condition. The
ingredients made use of are the ones
which experience has shown to be
effective, and the proportion in which
they are combined has been made the
subject of much careful study in each
case.
The Penslar Remedies are not sold
with the intention that they will to the
slightest extent take the place of the
services of the family physician, who
should always be consulted at once in
case of serious illness.
There is nothing secret about the
composition of the Penslar Remedies.
Their active constituents are standard
remedies of the Pharmacopoeia and in
every case the ingredients are plainly
stated. They are compounded by
pharmacists who have made study of
the art of combining remedies, and no
pains have been spared to render them
pleasant and palatable, so far as this
result can be secured without the
sacrifice of efficiency.
Furthermore the Penslar Remedies
are guaranteed by the manufacturers
to conform to the requirements of the
Pure Food and Drug Act, the label in
each case bearing the guarantee in ac-
cordance with the provisions of that
Act.
We purpose describing some of the
more useful of the Pensar Remedies,
stating their composition and explaining
the action of their several constituents.
We do not intend making any extrava-
CANT or unwarranted claims for them
and will content ourselves with promis-
ing only such results as are ascrlbed to
the different ingredients by standard
medical authors.
We believe in the efficiency of the
Penslar Remedies, and have no hesita-
ton in recommending them I'M
reservedly, believing that they will
meet the indications of the various con-
ditions for which they are offered. e.

| SONNWAII.
The Philathea class held their annual
business meeting with Mrs. Ella Mat
thews last Thursday. In the evening the
alumni and guests were present to enjoy
the bountiful refreshments, toasts and a
poem written by one OF the members,
viz:
| THE PHILATHEA.
I've been called upon to write
About the Philathea class,
Perhaps IL l could do it well
| 'Twould be pleasant task.
An easy thing 'twould be to write
II poet were;
For there is much that could be said
| Concerning each one here.
But shall not attempt to tell
The good traits Of each one,
But simply leave for you to judge
BY the good work we have done.
We always try to do our part
Whether in church or home,
And welcome all to join our class,
II twelve Sundays they will come.
And then besides once every year
Our friends we do invite.
And give them all word of cheer
AS past work we bring to sight.
But the old year now is ended,
And past failures stand out clear;
Now let's make good resolutions
For the new approaching year.
Let's resolve that we'll be patient,
Kindly, willing, brave and strong,
Cheerfully each other helping
AS through life we toll along.

The rest Of the evening was occupied
with games and social time which was
greatly enjoyed by all.

by him may mean the destruction Of
the vessel. Naval experts figured a,
12-inch shell would pass through the
skeleton mast without destroying it,
whereas n shot in the old style hol-
low steel a would bring 1t down
and with it the whole fire control sys-
tem. 1t was calculated several shots
could go through the skeleton masts
and it still would stand. But from all
indications those who advanced the
skeleton mast theory evidently WERE,
carried away by their enthusiasm and
overlooked the drawback in another
direction that would be caused by the
vibration Of a battleshlp steaming at
full speed. :
How much depends upon the range
Under can be understood only by men
who make a study of fighting at long;
range, as was rolnted out by an ex-
pert who says the skeleton masts are
a failure. 1t was expected that when.
the lattice work masts first made their
appearance other nations would be-
quick to adopt them. 1t was a sur
49, W vi IuC uS" lyp0 OE
mast that this was not done. The
skeleton mast is typically an Ameril
can naval idea, but from all indica-
lions the defects nov seer by experts
here were foreseen by experts in other
navies, and the American mast let
alone. =:
Those in favor of the skeleton mastsi
point to the excellent gunnery records
made in target practice since their
adoption as proof Of their success, but
the counter argument is advanced that
II the range finders were placed on
more substantial posts the marksmanl
ship Of the navy. increasing in excel
:ence as 1t has done year by year.,
would be still better and all records,
for speed and accuracy would be:
smashed. The unpopularity of the
skeleton masts has been growing
steadily. 1t is said the change Is not
far of. and any day may see orders is-
sued doing away with what a year or
two ago was thought to be great
stride forward in naval construction.
