Of that splendid physique of our
pioneer days, who was the mother
of the West, is fast disappearing
from memory. The woman of today
is an anaemic, sick!y, always tired.
exhausted type. The reason for
this is simple. The call of social
duty has imposed on the woman
of today responsibilities that take
up too much of her time and saps
her vitality. The fact that she has
house work and other domestic
duties to perform only tends to
make her life the harder.
Many women think they are suf-
fering from various diseases but
don't really know what ails them.
They have headaches: many of
them have nervous prOstratiOn;
they suffer from gas on the stom-
ach, foul breath. constipation. kid

other complaints. They eat too
much. too irregu1arly and fail to
take healthy outdoor exercises as
nature demands. Food lies heavily

{ Commissioner T.. L.. Davis Says There
Is u Great Demand for Them.

Fred L. Davis of White River June
ton, state cattle commissioner. was
in the city Yesterday and in the course
Of a conversation with Free Press
reporter said that Vermont cattle
were gaining a greater reputation for
quality than ever before. Breeders
and dairy owners are taking more In
terest in their herds. The State is
now interested in the inspection for
tuberculosis of herds that have never
been tested before. Herd owners
must after the first test pay for sub
sequent tests.
There is a great demand for YER
mont dairy cattle outside the State,
Mr.. Davis said, and hundreds of car
loads have been shipped in the last
year to many points in the United
States and as far West as the state
of Washington. Every COW has to be
tested before il leaves the State and
out of the great number shipped In
the last year only between 1870 and

LOSS OF APPETITE
IN THE SPRING

Loss of appetite is accompanied by loss
of vitality, vigor or tone, which is n more
serious loss. It Is common in the Spring
because at this time the blood is impure
and impoverished and fails to give the
digestive organs what they need for the
proper performance of their functions.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. 1t makes the rich red blood
your whole system demands. 1t is not
simply a spring medicine-but it Is the
best spring medicine. (Adv)
