COUGHED NIGHT AND DAY
How This Little Orphan Boy Was
Cured.

We want the people of Barre to know
that all letters like the following are
truthful and genuine:
Towanda, Pa. Il took n little orphan
boy to live with me and last Christmas
he contracted hard cold which devel-
oped into bronchitis. He was very i'll
and bad cough set in so that he coughed
night and day. After trying everything,
nothing seemed to do him any good,
until along in February ! got a bottle
of Vinol. After using half the bottle
his cough began to improve, and two
bottles entirely cured his bronchitis and
he gained in weight so that he doesn't
look like the same child" Harry A.
Towanda. Pa.
The reason that cough syrups fail in
such cases is because they are palliative
only, while Vinol removes the cause, be-
ing constitutional remedy in which are
combined the healing elements of fresh
Gods livers, together with tonic iron
and beef peptone. II strengthens and
revitalizes the entire system and assists
nature to expel the disease.

SOLDIERS NOISY DaEAMERS.
Fight Battles In Sleep. Say Fearsome
 London Landladies.

Landladies of lodging houses near the London railroad terminal are be- coming diffident about taking in sol diers just back from the front, partic- ularly those who have participated in the recent fighting around Loos.
 The landladies say the poor soldiers fight the terrible battles over again in their sleep and the shrieks and hys teria are enough to shake the strong est nerves.
 Many of the men who took part in the engagement are afflicted with the most horrible of dreams and somnam- bulistically slash and kill the Germans to the terror of all the other lodgers.
 Figures are nnobtainable, but the cases of nervous breakdowns during the last few weeks have reached a high figure.
 Even officers have been affected, and men who have stood up under the strain since the early days of the war say that the sights during the recent offensive are too terrible for mention.

 The censor, that mysterious bugbear of all journalists and embryo war cor respondents. is one of the most inter. esting institutions in France, says 8 Paris correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. He is always spoken of in the singular. but if so he should be compared to the many headed hydra of ancient mythology. The bureau of the censure is the connecting link be- tween the government and the people. It is the mouthpiece of the military authorities. through whose offices are transmitted all the war communiques and other official statements issued by the government.

Remarkable Surgery Successful In a
 Canadian Operation.

Part of a rib of Toronto soldier has, become his new jaw. This surgery has just been wrought at Toronto upon one of the 500 injured who have recently returned from the Canadian army corps fighting in France. The subject, a private. had big section of the bone from the back portion of his lower jaw carried away by shell at Ypres.
 Reaching Toronto, he was badly dis figured. as the cheek had fallen in. General hospital surgeons decided to operate, but they needed a piece of bone to fill in the gap. So they remov- ed piece of one of his own ribs and built it into his face where the jaw bone had been before.

 He nughingly denies that there is any mystery attached to it and shows us into a large room, containing very little furniture. In the center of the room is Il long table covered with green baize. on which stand several typewrit- CTS and rotary copying machines. used for turning out duplicates of the con- muniques and other official statements for distribution to representatives of the newspapers and various govern mental departments.

 Along another hallway we pass many open doors leading into the censors' of ices. Here we see many men busily reading the proofs recently brought by the newspaper messengers.
