Brattleboro people are astonished at
the INSTANT action of simple buck

in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL re
moves such surprising foul matter it
relieves almost ANY CASE constipa-

Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower and

LET HIM COUGH UP

Everybody wants to see better country roads around here, and those
who live off of the community should do their share toward its upkeep,
either through local taxation or by voluntary contribution.
Our local business e have dug down into their pockets again
and again for all sorts of laudable objects in the way of contributions
to this, that and whatnot, and they will probably continue to dig as
long as they remain in business
Like the good old Jersey COW, they have been "milked' so long
and so often and for such varied purposes that digging has become
almost second nature to them.

Many of you have been sending him your money for these many
years, depicting the financial condition of your home community in
order that he and mis- may ride in expensive automobiles and yea rich
furs, laces and diamonds
He counts his wealth by the millions, all contributed by his "dear
friends" from the country districts. A few hundreds to him would be
but a drop in the bucket yet it would mean much to you if expended in
improving the roads that you must travel in earning your daily bread.
Now suppose each II of you good people who have been handing
your hard earned money to the mail order lar in the past just
write him a letter and tell him your roads re sadly in need of repairs
Just tell him that when the rains come tine mud is deep, and traffic x
difficult, and it is ha1d for you to earn the golden dollars that go to
swell the great wealth he "a never spend.
Tell him that you have been his friend in the past. Now ask him
to prove his mette by becoming your friend in the present, with a few
hundreds for better roads.
Ask him to dig" and dig deeply. If he is your friend-if he cares
out of you, he won't dig.
Write him today, and see if he digs.
But in the meantime, just remember that responsible merchants are

MANY LITTLES MAKE A MUCH

How would you like to sit down at your desk, IL ver your &C
counts, and absorb the knowledge that anywhere from one % five
hundred people vel indebted to you in sums from so cents to $500?
And how would you like to meet those good people day by day
without their eve thinking Of offering o the small amount due you?
And how would you like to see these same good people paying
their other bills promptly month by month and again forgetting yours?
And wouldn't you just revel in the knowledge that all of these
small amounts combined, if suddenly collected up, would swell your
bank account to the tune of $500 OF $1,000?
When you reach the point where you car appreciate the grim

And when you reach that point you will wonder why in
blazes you never thought of tie editor when paying other
bills and you will just push the breeze until you reach his shop and

Here's hoping you soon qualfy-for you know, brother, that many
Titles make a much, and in the editorial purse there is always room f:
more.

Observation-Disclosures withdrawal
of Captain Karl Boyd. naval attacne'
and Captain Franz Won Papen, mill
tary attache of the German embassy,
has been requested by the state de-
partment. !.
In making formal announcement OF
this action Dec. 8, Secretary Lansing
said that the attaches had rendered
themselves persona non grata TO the
United States government by improp-

and military matters.
The secretary acted with the fuii
approyal of President Wilson, who is
understood to have determined that
the United States shall be rid OF for
eign officials who make themselves
obnoxious by activity harmful to the
best interests Of the nation.
The state department made its re-
quest through Count Won Bernstorff

ment of the fact was withheld a few
days as a matter of courtesy to Ger

made that the jury trying the warship
supply conspirators of the Hamburg
American line in New York had in any
way been influenced in reaching a yer
dict.
No reply has been received, but
none is necessary, and 1t was taken
for granted that the ambassador

as he had exchanged communication
with Berlin.
