There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years it was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer ore hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-
mOnialS.

BOYS AND GIRLS,
SAVE YOUR NICKELS.

There is nothing that contrib
utes more to health, happiness
and long life than thrift.
Having this in mind, the Hyde
Park Savings Bank has adopted
ideas and methods with reference
to promoting thrift in the mind of
the Vermont boy--and the Yer
mont girl as well-which are re-
garded by some bankers as con-
trary to the rules of good banking.
In other words, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank will receive deposits
Of any size, however small, be-
cause it believes that in so doing
it is encouraging the boy and girl
to become thrifty. Starting a
bank account with a nickel or
dime involves an absolute loss to
the bank accepting SO small a de-
post, unless other deposits are
made later on. But banks, al
though their managers do not
always realize it, are incorporated
for the public good, and so the
Hyde Park Bank, realizing its
duty to the general public, says to
the boy or girl who is willing to
begin saving, "Come on with your
deposits, however small, the bank
will take its chances on your be.
coming a larger banker later on.
Very few boys and girls realize
the wonderful power of compound
interest The Hyde Park Bank
pays four per cent and compounds
semi-annually and pays all taxes
and at this rate boy commencing
at ten years of age to save a dime
a day, and continuing to save that
sum, will have

St. Johnsbury Invention.

H. w. Randall of st. Johnsbury has
invented a special nozzle to be used
with chemical extinguishers for quench-
ing fires in partitions without damag-
ing the ceilings. The nozzle has a
pointed circular steel head which can
be thrust through any common or steel
partition and then by sharp pull
backwards a circular spray opened
which will throw the chemical all
about the opening When the fire is
smothered the nozzle can be with
drawn and the small hole covered with
a patch of paper or filled with plaster
of paris without further damage to the
partition. He has applied for a
patent and found his invention is en-
tirely different from anything now in
the patent office and no doubt a patent
will be granted.
