GREATER VERMONT NOTES.

The Vergennes Board of Trade at a
meeting held on Friday evening, July ?,
considered two propositions which con-
Germ the increase of local industries. A
New Hampshire wood novelty company
is desirious of interesting the board Of
trade in plans to secure for their use
the local plant formerly occupied by the
Bennington Scale company, and now for
sale. The St Peters parish offers to
give rent free for industrial purposes
the building once used as parochial
school, provided some industry can be
secured which promises to be perma-
nent.
On Friday, July ,, twenty-five mem
bers of the Swanton Board of Trade in
five automobiles took a Better Ac-
quaintance Trip" to Morrisville for the
purpose Of investigating the municipa
water power plant. Leaving at ten in the

The people of Vermont are largely
dependent on the summer visitors who
come from every State in the Union.
The Advance
Not so low as that just yet awhile.
The summer business helps little in
spots, like Manchester and Woodstock,
but the people of Vermont could go
right on prospecting and to prosper if
not a summer boarder crossed the line
from Pownal to Vernon in the next ten
years. The people of Vermont are
much more dependent on the amount of
butter fat per COW.

Mr. Il. G. King, formerly with the
Cheever Iron Ore Company of Port
Henry, N. Y, has taken the manage
ment of the New Brunswick hotel. Sev-
eral changes will be made to bring the
house up to date Previous to Mr..
Kings connection with the Cheever
Iron ore company, he was engaged
chiefly in hotel business and his past
experience speaks highly of his future
along this line of work 1t is under
stood that Mr.. King expects to make a
speciality of serving auto parties and
others desiring special meals, and that

nine men of unquestioned ability and

not take the time to discuss them in
this connection.
1T was not expected from the begin

to all of the conclusions and recommen-

Of bisurated magnesia as an nntacid !;
and its ability to promote normal.
healthy digestion by preventing food
fermentation and neutralizing dangerous
stomach acid has often been demon
strated. Until recently druggists could
supply bisurated magncsia In powder
form only, from one to two teaspoonfuls
of which taken in little water after
meals. almost instantly stops all fer

maintained a praiseworthy attitude Of
calmness and composure toward Amerl-
