DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble

So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that 1t is
tne cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of a new beverage that is

BRADSTREET's!a
REPORT OF
! VERMONT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week show the warmer weather
which has prevailed has had the eff
feet of delaying trade in seasonable
clothing. Sales in that line are not
what they generally are although
clearance sales have been fairly well
patronized. The sleighing of the
early part of the week and one cold
day, gave promise of a large trade,
but at the close of the week, whe els
replaced sleighs for travel. The
season is remarkable for the continu-
ance of h, CHER temperature readings.
Further reports following the closing
of inventories, reflect 1912 trade was
of good volume and the usual divi-
dend payments have placed additional
money in circulation. Labor is in
demand generally and the manu-
facturers report that new business is
coming in well. Notable among the
reports from the wholesale trade is
that which comes from the con-
dictionary trade; the year showed a
large incre lse and the volume of bust
n .ss now on hand is in excess of what
it generally is. Building material
and supplies have moved we'll and
the demand is uniform for the period.
Reports from 120 cities in the United
States for the year 1912 show build
ing work permitted was the largest
on record, this, however, includes re-
ports from places out previously re-
ported. and a gain over 1911 is also
noted in comparison with places pre-
ously repo rted. In this state indi-
cations point to considerable new
building for the new year. Cor
lections generally have been from
fair to slow. Two failures are re-
ported for the week.
Burlington reports LOG permits for
building work were granted during
the year 1912, with an approximate
total expenditure of $204 400. De-
cember showed twice as much work
permitted as was noted in the month
of November and the last quarter of
the year proved the largest in dollars.
Reports from Rutland state labor is
we'll employed and that the manu-
featuring plants have considerable
business ahead. Retail trade is only
fairly good. At St. Albans manu-
factures report but few unemployed
and retail business up to the middle
of the week, showed gain for the
month over what was done last year.
Satisfactory conditions are reported
among both the manufacturing inter-
ests and the retail trade at st. Johns
bury. Montpelier and Barre report
business at the granite manufactur-
ing plants is all that could be expected
for the period Of the year. Paper
mills at Bellows Falls are we'll en-
ployed. Labor is fully employed at
Brattleboro and the general condition
of trade and manufacture at Ben
nington is reported but little changed
from previous reports.
