How many women do you know who
are perfectly well, strong and healthy

be sick enough to lie in bed-but they
are run down, thin, nervous, tired and
devitalized.
Women are so active nowadays, and
so much is expected of them, that they
constantly overdo and suffer from head
ache, baekache, nervousness and kindred
ills.
Such women need Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic without oil.

has had a growth that is simply
phenomenal, and probably has
no parallel in any country village
in the United States.
One does not need go far to
discover the reason for this. The
depositing public is proverbially
very cautious and discriminate
ing, rarely making a mistake.
1t thinks it sees in the manage
ment of the Hyde Park Savings
Bank an adherence to certain.
well-known financial laws which,
if closely followed, always lead
to the port of safety.
Not a dollar lost by a poor
note in nearly twenty-five years
is Statement that can be made
by very few banks in this coun-
try, but it can truthfully be
claimed by the Hyde Park Bank.
What does it mean? Simply
that the management of that
bank not only possess banking
and business judgment of a high
order, but it means, as well, that
they are most painstaking and
diligent in scrutinizing all secur-.
tiles offered as a basis for loans.
The Hyde Park Bank pays
four per cent. per annum, COM.
pounded semi-annually, pays all
taxes; and, as a basis for the
claim which it makes, that it is
perfectly safe to send money to
that bank by mail-either in
check, postal or express money
order or by registered malt
assures the depositing public
that in the nearly twenty-five
years of the banks existence not
a dollar sent to it by a depositor
has ever been lost.
A postal addressed to the pres
ident, Carroll S. Page, or the
treasurer, F. M. Culver, Hyde
Park, Vermont, will promptly
bring any desired facts touching
this bank.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's Simple Rec
ipe That Anybody Caa Apply
with Hair Brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful Ell
feet.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays by asking at
any drug store for 50-cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you win get this famous old recipe
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruh, dry, feyerish,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well Unknown downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two it becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and abundant.-Advt.

THE PROSPERITY OF
VERMONT SAVINGS BANKS

Hon. f. G. Williams, our state
bank examiner, has recently CIV
en- us a most fiattering showing
in regard to the growth of our
Vermont Savings Banks. He
says the increase during the past
year has been the largest of any
year in the history of our saw
ings banSs-in round numbers,
81, 100000.
The people of our little COM
monwealth have not only been
wonderfully prospered during
the past year, but they have
been laying aside some of the
fruits of that prosperity for a
rainy day.
Go back six years, to 1907, we
find that the total deposits in
all the savings banks in Vermont
on the first day of July of that
year were S5T444, 294.48; on the
first day of July, 1918, they were
$87, 929,764.80, a gain of more
than SIS per cent. in the six years
"a most encouraging showing.
7 A few of the more prosperous
banks in the state show a much
higher percentage of gain. For
instance, the Hyde Park Savings
Bank on the first day of July,
1907, had $844,158.34 in depos-
it's. Six years later. on the first
had increased practically three
had increased practically three
fold-to be exact, they were on
that date $2,523,922.73.
Had the growth in deposits in
all the banks in the state in
creased in the same wonderful
ratio as the Hyde Park Bank,
they would have to-day amount
ed in round numbers to one hun
dred and seventy million dollars,
or substantially twice what they
now really are.

CROP REPORT
SHOWS 3oo,coo,ooo BusHEL LOSS
IN CORN FROM HEAT.
Winter Wheat Yield Greater than
Ever Before known-spring Wheat
Below Expectations.
western Newspaper Union News service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-A loss of 300, ,000,-
600 bushels of grain, the nations
greatest farm crop. has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July l.,
the governments agricultural experts
estimated in their August report. A
total production of 2,672,00 900 bush
els of corn was predicted. This is
452,0OO,0O0 bushels. less than last
years cop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 1913 per cent of a normal
compared with 500 on July L. Kan
sas was hit hardest, the condition
there having been reduced from 81
per cent in July to 80 per cent August
/. Oklahoma came next with a con-
dition of A against 81 in July, and
Nebraska reported 67 against 81 July
/. These three states have almost 10
per cent of the total area planted TO
corn this year.
A bright spot in the monthly grain
report were the preliminary statistics
showing production of 511 100000
bushels of winter wheat This is the
81 ltdltSL hdl tSl VI NHedl ever
gathered in the United States, ex-
ceeding the record crop of 1902 by 1O,-
100000 bushels. The figures exceeded
by 2S,0O0,000 the estimate made by
the department in July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an in
creased estimate of production. it be
ing 15,000,000 bushels more than the
July estimate, the total being placed
at 233,000,000 bushels. With the
bumper winter wheat crop and a fair
ly good spring wheat production, the
total harvest of all wheat is esti-
mated at 744,OOO,00O bushels. A crop
this size would place the years pro-
duction second only to the record crop
of 1901, when 74S,OOO,OOO bushels were
produced.
The harvest of white potatoes, it is
estimated. will be smaller by S2,OOO-
600 bushels than the crop of 1912. A
total of 3S9,OOO,OOO bushels is esti-
mated.
Condition of spring wheat and corn
on August l with comparison and the
preliminary estimates of the acre
Weld in bushels, quality per cent and
total production in bushels of winter
wheat, by principal states follow:
