CELEBRATED ALPHA SPRING
Laboratory of Hygiene Pronounces
Water Absolutely Pure


The Green Mountain Spring Water

is fhe financial and responsible head,
is negotiating with well known New
York parties in regard to placing up
on the metropolitan market their de-
licious beverages made from the pure
water drawn out of the Alpha
Spring" which this company controls
Much has been said and written
about this we'll known spring for the
past hundred years and more, but UNI
til comparatively recent date,
strangely enough, its remarkable
quality of absolute purity had been
almost forgotten excepting by some
of the older residents to whom the
traditions of its excellence had been
handed down from their sires.
The state laboratory OF hygiene,
through its director, DR.. B. II. Stone,
has, after a thorough chemical and
microscopica analysis pronounced
the water of this remarkable spring
absolutely pure. So far as known
there is not another body of water
like il in the state, if indeed, in New
England.
All the beverages of the Green
Mountain Spring Water company are
made with this water in conjunction
with the best syrups. Alpha Ginger
Ale, Sarsaparilla. Birch Beer and
Lemon Sour being leaders. II the
New York market is captured by this
hustling firm. the possibilities for the
extensive sale OF its products may
become one of the features of Ben,
nington business life, and the name
of Alpha Pure Spring Water become
a household word throughout the in
telligent families of Gotham. ADV.

ENGLAND'S GIFT
SHIP Is ASHORE
Hospital Ship Maine, Presented by
American Women, May Be
Total Loss.

Glasgow, Scotland, June 1S.-TGa
hospital ship Maine. presented to the
British nation by American women
during the South African war, went
ashore in the Fifth of Lorne, on the
west coast of Scotland, during fog,
and it is feard she will be total loss.
The Maine was attached to the home
fleet of the British navy and had a
large number of patients ON board at
the time of the accident. All were
placed in the ships boats, where they
remained until the arrival of other
vessels summoned by wireless.
The hospital ship Maine was partly
the gift of Bernard N. Baker of the
Atlantic Transport Company and part
ly of the hospital ship Maine commit
tee composed of American women.
The vessel did great service during
the South African war in caring for
both British and Boer wounded. She
was taken in charge by American doc
tors and nurses, who treated hundreds
of sick and wounded soldiers. After
wards she did similar service in China
during the Boxer uprising and later
was formally presented to the British
government.

HOME FOUNDATION
OF STATE, nation
Ms. Lula Owen Stratton So
Declares in Lecture on -
w. G. r. u. Work.

Mrs. Lula Owen Stratton, national
lecturer and organizer of the Women s
Christian Ten. erance union, spoke at
the Presbyterian church yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Stratton is most
pleasing speaker, and easily holds an
audience entertainigly, while she in
structs them in the great truths for
civic. Righteousness.
She spoke briefly of the historic
fact of women always having been
patriotic and the place woman has
always held in civic affairs, citing as
examples, Marion Huldah and De-
berah, stating that there has \been
more than one Molly Pitcher, more
than one John of Arc in the worl
Mrs. Strattol s opinion is that the
home is the foundation upon which
rests the community, the state, and
the nation; that the boy and the girl
are the sole riches of the state-its
most valuable assets. The whiskey
traffic depends upon making infoads
upon the home for it's life-the
wreckage of character of men, heart
breaker of womanhood and the ruin
OF childhood, she declared.
Mrs. Stratton stresses the fact that
the VIC. T. u is the greatest mis-
sionary movement of any age of the
world; the greatest reform movement
OF the day,
