LANDS OF COL. JOS. BATTELL
GREAT BENEFIT TO VERMONT

1t is seldom that the Will OF a YER
mont man has had as far reaching in
huence as that of the late Col. Joseph
Battel of Middebury. For many
years he had been collecting wild
lands, much as a school boy collects
postage stamps, and like some stamps
collected only from sentiment, many
of these tracts have become very val
liable owing tothe growing scarcity Of
timber. These large holdings have now
been divided through gift and bequest
among Middebury College, the State
of Vermont, and the United States
Government.
Some three or four years ago Col.
Battell gave to the State tract COM
prising about 1,200 acres on Camel's
Hump, including the Summit which
has an elevation of over 1000 feet.
The western slope Of this mountain
contained in the gift, is covered with
splendid spruce timber, and its pres
ervation by the State will assure the
Of the mountain as point
of interest. Even now the camp kept
at the top by the CamePs Hump Club
of Waterbury, is annually visited by
fully 900 people The eastern slope
Of the mountain, situated mostly in the
town of Duxbury, was badly burned
over in 1903 shortly after numbering. |
There is here one Of the largest tracts
Of waste land in the State. Two years
ago the State Forestry Department
planted few acres Of this brush land

COL. ALLEN KILLED
BY COASTING AUTO
Prof. Perkins Car Ran Over Retired
Merchant in Front of His Home in
Burlington.

DuI iiHe tul'
Burlington, June Col. Heman W.
Allen, formerly one Of Burlington s
most prominent business men, retired
for several years, died at his home
yesterday from injuries received Sat
urday night when he was struck by an
au u.omobile in front Of his home on
Main street.
The machine was driven by Prof.
Henry f. Perkins of the University Of
Vermont and was coasting down the
hill. The accident occurred at dark
place and Prof. Perkins was unaware
of anybody being in the highway un-
til the car struck Col. Allen. The car
passed over the victim, inhicting seven
fractures of bones. He was barely
conscious when picked up and never
regained his senses.
His son, Edward L. Allen, was near
ly killed by an automobile accident in
this city two weeks ago.
Col. Allen was born in Westford on
April 4, 1874 He was member for
years Of the dry goods firm of Lyman
& Allen, later H. W. Allen & Co.. He
was veteran of the Civil War and
attained the rank Of colonel as a mem

ings unfit for agriculture. With the
advice Of the State Forestry Depart
ment the executors have adopted the
policy Of reforesting such areas and
have just completed the planting OF
about $4,000 trees, both pine and
spruce, raised under the direction Of
Prof, Lambert Of Middlebury College.
Plans are also under way for the bet
ter protection of the mountain lands
from fire by the construction of teIe-
phone lines and the employment OF
patrolmen in cooperation with the
State Forester.
The lands left by Col, Battel to the
United States Government include
Lincoln Mountain, or Ellen Mountain,
as he called it because of his admira-
ton for Ellen's Isle in Scotlana. TEis
is one Of the finest mountains of the
State, and one which well deserves
more visits than II receives. The State
Forestry Department will shortly
make an examination of these lands at
he request of the United States For
'st Service. A report will be made TO
he Government as TO the exact loca-
ion of the lands, the charcter of the
imber upon them, their accessibility
" roads, etc. Upon this report the
government will probably base its poll
cy of management.

IS this YOUR TROUBLE?

Some cases of stomach trouble are
nothing but constipation.
All the symptoms Of stomach and in
festival indigestion may be caused by
constipation. The sufferer is distressed
after eating, gas forms in the stomach
and bowels, the abdomen has a feeling
of pressure and weight and is hard and
distended.
To correct constipation the first thing
is to stop the use of strong purgatiyes
and use instead the mild laxative pills,
Pinklets. These tiny pills may be used
as long as required without the danger of
a reacting constipation.

HORSES ARE LOWER
DESPITE THE WAR

Bulletin 258, Agriculture Experiment
station at Madison, has reached this
Office. 1t was prepared by DR.. A. S.
Alexander and is entitled, 'Distribu-
ton of Public Service Stations" In
1914 the average price of horses in
Wisconsin was Sl36 and fell $500 this
year, the average price now being S131.
This seems hard to account for mas
much as the war has had tendency to
increase the prices in some quarters.
In some districts of Wisconsin there
has been leesened demand for horses
du ring the past few months On &C
count of the war, importation of stall
lions has entirely ceased. By reason Of
the war all kinds of horses have been
sacrificed and Dr. Alexander predicts
there will be a demand abroad for
American stations when the swords
have been sheathed. In 1906 Wisconsin
was the thirteenth state and on &C
count of the stallion law has risen to
the tenth state. In 1907 only eleven
counties had more pure bred than scrub
and grade sires; in 1915, 49 counties had
risen to the honor roll. Sank County
has been one of those in advance. The
pamphlet contains the names and own
ers of all the fine horses in the state.
This county has Y stations of all
grades.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infanl-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-tir-e
blood tonic, is very successful IN the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys anl skin, which i
stimulates, and at the same time i
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla toda.
