DANGER In DELAY
Kidney Diseases are too Dangerous for
Barton People to Neglect.

Kidney Diseases are too Dangerous for
Barton People to Neglect
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they too often get firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health will be gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
Iameness, sourness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's
disease may follow as the Kidneys
get worse. Don't neglect your kid
neys. Help the kidneys with Doan's
Kidney Pills, which are SO strongly
recommended right here in Barton.
Mrs. Homer Rushford, Lake ST.,
Barton, Vt, says: 81 have no hesita
ton in recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills. During the past winter I was
annoyed by dull, nagging backaches,
headaches and other symptoms of
kidney complain5. Hearing of Doan's
Kidney Pills, I began their use and
the results we're very beneficial. My
aches and pains were removed and
my system was toned up"

A Cheap Fertilizer for Oats

Farmers having light, sandy
soil, or whose farms are fair Aoam,
but which have been exhausted by
long-continued cropping without
much fertilizer, will find it still pos
sible to raise fair crops by the use
of Fertilizing Salt. This kind of
fertilizer appears to give especially
good results on Oats. It not only
makes the straw sitter, consequent
ly making the crop less liable to
lodge and rust, but also keeps the
ground moist and so insures a bet
ter catch when grass seed is sown
with the Oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertiliz-
ing purposes is sold by C. S. PAGE,
Hyde Park, Vt. It is more valu-
able than most cheap salts, as it
contains more or less refuse matter
which comes from the hides on
which it has been used The price
is only $500 per ton, f. 0. b. Hyde
Park, and the freights are moderate
especially on IS ton carloads. This
price is soc less than last year and
is likely to be only temporary. Or
ders therefore S be placed as
early as pos siitt Prompt ship
lment can be made and full particu-
lars will be given on request.

Mr.. Editor:

Mr. Editor:
In last weeks Monitor Mr. McGaffey
second time misquotes my tax state
ment by emitting it's first part. l will
not take space to repeat the correction
in the Monitor Of April 9th. Abolish
ing the offset increases the grand list
and makes possible lower tax rate.
Mr.. McGaffey ignores this factor in
the figures he submits. He also
ignores the fact that there was no Off
set against real estate.
In the examples cited he does not
state whether the property is real or
personal. If all personal it is the ex-
ception and that owner loses more by
losing the offset than he gains by a
decreased tax rate and a lower inter-
est rate.
If part is real estate he can lose
offset only to the extent of the person.
al property. If all was real estate he
lost no offset and makes two gains
whether in debt or not. Again and
again recurs the same old question of
the greatest good to the greatest
number.
Very sincerely,
0. w. Locke.
Orleans, VT, April 10.
