Radium Springs

sThe water from these springs is one of the purest
table, waters there is in the entire United States to-
day. It is absolutely free from all organic matter of
any nature, has only 1873 grains of mineral matter
to the United States gallon, this making it one of the
lightest waters found in a natural state, it is strongly
Radio Active. You well know that Radium has Won
derful curative properties, this water is highly preg-
mated with this mineral activity.
If you wish one of the best table waters in the
United States, or if you are troubled with dyspepsia,
indigestion, stomach trouble, kidney trouble, etc, ask
your physician and we are sure he will prescribe this
water for you. TO try it is to be convinced.

West in the southern part of Vermont.
Perhaps Mr.. Wilcox was an editor who
was accustomed to receive communica
tions from the general publis and whose
experience in reading the scrawls almost
gave him nervous prostration. Perhaps
he was himself teacher who had seen
pupils wrestling with the mother tongue
as expressed in characters of various
shapes and all but despaired of teach
ing the youngsters to put the characters
in the sequence required by custom.
Then again, perhaps he was neither OF
the above, but had been in the position
to note The wretehed spelling attempts
on the part OF many people, when his
soul writhed with agony over the re-
suits which came under his eyes But
whatever may have been the position,
experience in which prompted him to-
make such an unusual legacy, it is GER

introduction of the so-called "simplifed

given license and liberty to throw the

an oldfashioned person who revered the

SUFFRAGETTES WEARY OF SPORT
Scotland Yard Too Easily Hoodwinked,
1t Is Alleged.

London, Aug. 9.--It is so easy for the
suffragettes to hoodwink Scotland Yard
that the women are wearying of the
sport
The latest case is that of Ewry Clay
ton. The police were after Ewry, who
was critically i'll, and to make sure he
should not escape they posted detectives
to guard his house night and day. As
soon as he recovered sufficiently to walk
abroad he was to be gathered in. Every
day members of the suffragette organ
ization visited the Clayton cottage, bear
ing fruits, jelly and flowers to the sick
man. The police felt secure as they saw
the suffragettes come and go; they would
get their man on his recovery. Finally,
the visits of the women ceased. The
police, wondering, drew their ranks clos
er and finally entered the house. Ewry
was not there, but in America The
house was filled with flowers, fruits and
jelly, enough to last Mrs. Clayton for
weeks to come. Ewry had slipped away
and taken a steamer fortnight back,
and the daily visits of the women were
simply a blind
The suffragettes took all this trouble
for Mr. Clayton because he is the chem
list who was sentenced TO penal servi-

ing with the members of the Women's
Social & Political union in that he sup

ORANGE COUNTY SHOWING
ALFRTNESS.

Orange county shows itself to be ready
for better things by the employment Of
county adviser to take up the work Of
aiding the farmers, and Jackson Demary
is the new official to be engaged for
the position-the fifth in New England,
it might be said, because nowhere else
in New England has county taken adj
vantage of the offer to secure aid in
increasing the crop output. Therefore,
five of the fourteen counties of Vermont
have indicated that they are not welded
to their old methods of tilling the soil
but are ready to receive new ideas and
to use new means provided the innova-
tions shall have proved their worth.
This situation shows that Vermont Is
not the hide bound state it has been pic
tured to be for years agone, In politics
we found that Vermont could go through
an upheaval as we'll as the other states
of the Union, that it was not so thor
oughly riyeted to Republican traditions
asto stick no matter what party changes
might be made. Now we are seeing that
Vermonters are not content to cling to
old methods of farming just because
those methods were good enough for
their fathers and their fathers fathers.
Let's mix the good of the old with the
good of the new methods and secure
doubly good results, seems to be the new
spirit as indicated by these FIVE coun-
ties of the state.
