BARRE LEADS IN
MONUMENTAL WORK

1t is an acknowledged fact that Barre
granite is the leader among thousands OF
specimens taken from every part of the
country, as stated on little folder is
sued by the Board of Trade, "from her
quarries come the finest monuments
statuary, mausoleums and building
work" These are facts of which thert
Is absolute proof. Barre is the best
business city in this section-the largest
payroll of skilled laborers per capita re-
ceiving the highest wages. This money
is paid out here in Barre, These distinc-
tions and conditions are the stepping
stones of a bigger and better Barre. Not
alone should the granite industry be re
lied upon to accomplish what everybody
wants, better and bigger Barre" It's
up to every citizen, most especially TO
the merchants. who can make their bust
ness more attractive to the public by
putting a little more time and giving a
little more attention to the little details
which make the business profitable and
interesting; procure goods of reliable
quality; sell them at fair prices con-
sistent with the quality. thereby gaining
and retaining the confidence of the pur
chaser. These are the methods employed
by the Barre Drug company, and the re-
suits are most gratifying.

Crank f. Langley, Publisher,
"Barre Daily Times,
BARRE, Vermont.
Dear Sir:-
Would like to call your attention to
description in the Monumental News
issue of January ON page rs, where it
states in describing the monument OF
the late A. Z. Bruce of Barre, Vermont,
that same was erected from light Barre
granite.
'Mr. A. f. Bruce and, in fact, the
members of his family are too good
Judges of granite to ever order a monu-
ment built of light granite. The family
wanted the very best, so they ordered
the stock quarried from the Boutwell,,
Milne & Varnum Co. quarries, and that
means that the granite in this monu-
ment is the very BEST DARK that
can be produced.
Yours truly,
Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum Co."

For this is going to be a season of

HoW to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family supply, Saving 81 and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint Of cough syrup-as much
os You could buy for $2.50-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
more quickly, usually ending it inside Of
"a hours. Excellent, too, for Group,
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma,
hoarseness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
IL pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 212 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is Just laxative enough to help
cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect OF pine and sugar syrup on
the inhamed membranes is we'll known.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and all the natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara-
tions will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The plan has been initiated, but
the old successful formula has never
been equaled.
