Vine
Wine
A Palatab!e Medicine especially
prepared TO relieve and cure the
diseases which affect women

This excellent medicine is not only
successful in conquering the pain
full and prostrating diseases that
attack the female generative system
but it is exceptionally pleasant to
take. The usual rule that the naster
the medicine the more effective it
is, is reversed in the case of Squaw
Vine Wine. 1t is one of the pleas
ATTEST of medicines. The fresh
juice of well ripened sweet orange
is not more agr eeable. 1t is indeed
a happy combination of sweet herbs
compounded with just enough
spirits to keep it fresh and active in
its medicinal effect. Poor, tired
mothers, worn out with the cares
of a family and household, and suf-
fering from those distressing aches,
bearing down pains and nervousness
which women only know, revive
wonderfully under its strengthening
and exhilirating influence. 1t eases
pain, strengthens weakened parts,
corrects Irregularities, builds up
a strong, vigorous body, restores
brightness to the eye and color to
the cheeks.

A white Christmas and bright one
was yesterday in Barre. That beneTo-

over humanity and has a guiding infiu-

ended Thursday hight, quiet and some
thing OF Christmas calm settled down
over things material and the meridianal
hour Christmas day saw streets that n
| few hours before were streams of shop

poets. Once again the weather man,
predicting a snowy holiday, had to re-
cant his rash promise. The temperature
had tendency downward, but the welt
bundled person who started out at any
time of day was not uncomfortable, al
belt the weather was better suited to
Christmas by the cosy tireside.
Apart from the material side of Christ
mas with its unstemmed tide of giving
and receiving gifts and the mutual ex
change of good wishes between friends
and relatives there was something of the
Christmas spirit in the atmosphere. With
scarcely an exception, nearly all OF the
city churches breathed the air of that
festival when Chris ans the world over

CHELSEA, MASS, HAS
A FIRE SCARE
Became So Threatening Aid Was Sum
moned From Boston and Revere
Loss $75,ooo.

Chelsea, Mass, Dec 26.-Fire, which
broke out in the lumber yard of Pope u
Cottle to-day, jumped to the Atwood y
McManus box factory and became so
threatening that firemen were called
from Boston and Revere to assist the
local department. Traffic on the main
line OF the eastern division of the Bos-
ton q Maine, between Lynn and Bos-
ton, was tied up.
The fire cleaned out the ll0-foot brick
building, the business Offices, stables and
lumber piles OF Pope & Cottle, with a
loss to them of $l25,000 destroyed two
steam cranes belonging to the Boston &
Maine railroad, and damaged a small
building belonging to Atwood 4 McMan-
us, the firemen saving other buildings
of the big box factory, in spite of
stiff northwest wind.
Pope & Cottle barely escaped in the
of 1908, but suffered a
heavy loss by FIRE few months later.

in the boiler.
