One kidney remedy has known
merit.
Bennington people relp upon it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Bennington testimony proves it re-
liable.
p. J. Mcclure, oil Maple St, Ben
nington, W., says: For some time |
suffered from dull, heavy pains in the
small of my back and was unable to
stoop without great misery. The
trouble was generally worse in damp
weather or when | caught cold. |
heard a great deal about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured a box at
Coles Drug Store and began their
use. In a few days | felt better and
after | had taken the contents of one
box my back was free from pain and
the other symptoms of my trouble
became a thing of the past. ] am
glad to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. "
The ~above statement was given
December 16, 1905, and when inter
viewed again Mr.. Mcclure said:

WHYTOWNMEETING
SHOULD VOTE FOR
BETTER ROADS
Town Progress and Prosperity
Depends on Good Name
GOOD ROADS HELP TOWN
Throw Jealousy and Politics Aside
And Help Upbuild the Best Town
In New England.

Editor of The Banner referring
to the recent call for a special town
meeting next Tuesday to see if the
town will appropriate a sum of mon
ey, providing an equal sum is given
by the state, for the purpose of i'm
proving the highways of Bennington,
it would seem as though there could
nothing be said against such a pro-
position, and we are surprised to
learn that any opposition should dc
velop against such a project.
The Board of Trade took the mat
ter up, as we believed that our roads
are not in the condition that they
should be, if Bennington is to grow
and develop as nature intended ii TO
do. and seeing what other commu-
mites are doing along these lines, we
are convinced that one of the most
important things to be done is to i'm
prove our highways in such way
that when tourists and others enter
Vermont by the southern gateway
they will not be sorry that they eli
tered that gate, and We believe that
all public spirited citizens of Ben
nington are with us in this respect.
We have people In our midst today
that are spending thousands of dol
lars of their own money to improve
our highways. Let us encourage
them to such an extent that they
will not think that their efforts in
this direction are not appreciated
With an engineer sent here by the
United States government absolute
ly without any expense to us, and
with the State Highway Commission
en- Mr.. Gates, to superintend the eX-
penditure of the money, it seems like
an opportunity that cannot lightly be
thrown aside. as there are a great
many other towns in the state that
will jump at the chance to get this
extra money offered us for their own
roads.
II is to be hoped all citizens of
Bennington. who have our interests
at heart. will turn out at this meet
ing. and throwing all party politics
and petty jealousies aside, go in and
take another step forward towards

LA TOILETTE BILL.
PASSES SENATE
BY Al TO 70
Ten Progressives Join Forces
With the Democrats
REGULARS OVERTHROW
Measure Made Substitute For
Democratic House Bill and Passed
In Two Hours.

Washington, July 26.-Ten pro-
gressive Republicans overthrow the
regular Republicans in the Senate
late last night and joined with the
Democrats in passing the La Toilette
wooden tariff revision bill as q sub
stitute for the Democratic measure
adopted by the House of Represen-
tatives.
The La Toilette bill was adopted
by vote of AZ to 20 less than two
hours after the Republican leaders
had achieved what they believed was
a victory when compromise sub
mitted by Senator Penrose was pass
ed in the committee of the whole.
The sudden termination of the
wool tariff fight came as a climax of
a day full of surprising events. The
Democratic House bill for revision
of the wool tariff was technically be-
fore the Senate. The progressives
first voted for Senator Cummins' sub
stitute, the rates of which were slight
ly above those of the Democratic bill
They were here defeated 81 to IA.
Then, Senator Penrose came forward
with a compromise measure consid-
erably higher than the Democratic
bill, but which regular and progress
sive Republicans believed they could
agree upon.
Led by the defeated Senator Cum
Minis. who said he would accept the
Penrose bill as step in tia right
direction" all but three of the pro-
gressives rallied to the support of
the Penrose measure and it was ad
opted by the narrow margin of 81 to
80. This took place in what was
known as the committee of the
whole. The amended measure then
passed into the Senate proper. In the
meantime Senator La Toilette, who,
with Senators Clapp and Kenyon, had
joined the Democrats in voting
against the Penrose substitute saw
an opportunity to again pass his
of 1911, which President Taft had
vetoed.
There was a quick rally of pro-
gressive forces, and the La Toilette

BASE BALL BUNTS.

Bennington lost to North Adams 5
to on Tuesday and then put up a
cry that it was an exhibition game :.
Whenthe Berkshire league was form
ed, the managers agreed that all
games played during the season
would be league contests. This plan
would help out on the schedule by
taking the place of postponed games.
Referee in the Pittsfield Eagle.
Inasmuch as it was agreed by the
managers of the North Adams and
Bennington teams that the game in
the Tunnel City on Tuesday should
be an exhibition this "holler" from
Pittsfield is little out of place. Not
only was it agreed that the game
should be an exhibition but the
management of the two teams divid-
ed the gate receipts instead of play
ing for the usual series guarantee.
II is to be noticed that the team which
won the game is making no claim
that would substantiate the position
taken by THE Referee.

A Pleased Savings Bank Deposition

There is no county in Vermont, in
deed hardly town in the state, or
state in the Union that does not
make deposits in the Hyde Park
Savings bank.
The unprecedented growth of that
institution is the result of two
things: first confidence; second, sat
isfaction with its management.
Everybody is well treated at that
bank and everybody is satisfied.
Ask your neighbor who deposits
there and see if he does not vouch
for the truthfulness of this state
ment.
