1S POUNDS OF BLOOD

is the average quantity in a healthy
adult, but it is the qualitysof the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.

MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES.
Make Life Hard to Bear For Many
Brattleboro Women.

Too many women mistake their pains
and aches for troubles peculiar to the
sex. More often disordered kidneys are
causing the aching back, dizzy spells,
headaches and irregular urination.
Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if
neglected. Use time tried kidney
remedy-Doan s Kidney Pills. Hosts
of people testify to their merit. Read
a Brattleboro case:
Mrs. NJ. E. Moore, 10 Elm ST., Brat
tleboro, says: For several months 1
suffered from duh backaches and dizzy
spells. A neighbor had used Doan IS
Kidney Pills with such good results
that Isgot a box at the Brattleboro
Drug Co. They relieved me of back
ache and removed the other symptoms
of kidney trouble. / have felt like a
different person since then and eonse-
quently am pleased to recommend

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid of
Uric Acid

rheumatism is no respector of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
Ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means Of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly,
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood OF
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
,po+iou IIera Won have q Dlpa eff
fervescent lithia-water drink which ov-
ercomes uric and is beneficial to your
kidneys as well.

PUTNEY.
John A. Sanford Dead.

John A. Sanford, IS, former high
ly-respected resident of this place, died
Sunday, March u, in his home on the
Vineland pike, NiIlville, n. j. He was
native of Fall River, Mass, where
he was engaged in the Gotten manu-
featuring business during his early
life After leaving that city he lived
number of years in Putney on the
old Samuel Knight farm, half a mile
from the Houghton farm. He sold the
place to Z. Z. Blood and went from
here to Millville about four years ago.
He leaves a wife, eight sons and one
daughter. The funeral was held in the
home Tuesday evening at 80 o clock
and the burial took place in Fall River,
Mass. The Millville daily newspaper
said of Mr.. Sanford:Mr. Sanford had
a large acquaintance among the mill
men of the New England and Middle
states, and was everywhere held in the
highest esteem for his sturdy and up
right character. @f

FIGHTING INCREASES
NEED FOR DRESSINGS
French Hospitals Crowded with Wound
ed from Verdun Committee is
in Great Need of Gauze.

On account of the terrible fighting
which for the last three weeks has
been in progress around Verdun the
surgical dressings committee, of New
York. of which David Willard, former
ly of this town, is the field repres- nta-
tive has received urgent cable messages
from hospitals in France asking for
surgical dressings and bandages. These
hospitals are crowded with the wounded
from Verdun and there is great
scarcity of surgical and hospital sup
plies.
To help meet the demand the surgi-
cal dressings committee has forwarded
100000 surgical dressings to France
since the battle began. The committee
hopes to send 100000 of these dres-
sings in response to the calls for them.
Since the war began this committee
has sent more than 100000 dressings
to the front.
In addition to the 100000 dressings
sent within the last two weeks the
committee also has forwarded $4,000
other articles for surgical work
The committee is in great need of
gauze with which to make the dress
ings and of cash with which to buy
the gauze. For $2.40 the committee is
able to purchase 100 yards of gauze,
quantity sufficient to make 500 sur
gical dressings. The committee urgent
ly requests gifts of gauze or of money
with which to purchase it. The ser
vices of volunteers to make up the
| gauze with which to make the dress
also be acceptable.
| Miss Carita Spencer, chairman OF
| the surgical dressings committee, start
| ed recently for Europe to extend the
| distribution of hospital supplies. One
| difficulty experienced in the matter OF
| surgical dressings Is that different hos
pitfalls use different kinds of dressings
50 that dressing demanded by one
| hospital will not be use by another
/ Hiss Spencer has undertaken to stan
dardize the surgical dressings so that
the same kind of dressing can be used
in all the hospitals.
| Miss Spencer carried with her letters
| hospital will not be used by another

| pitfalls near the firing line under tn,
| protection of the French war depart
ment. Miss Spenser also carries will
| her the unofficial Endorsement of Presi

| interest in her work.

is far greater than the supply, but tn,

NO LOG DRIVE FOR
MILL AT MT. TOM
Connecticut Valley Lumber Co. to Work
Up Logs in Mills to the North

There seems hardly any doubt al
though no official statement has been
authorized, that the Mt. Tom sawmill

pany is in its last year of operation
No drive of logs for the Mt. Tom mill
will be sent down the river the com ng
open season, and, unless there is a
change in policy, the usefulness of the
Mt. Tom mill will be ended when its
present supply of logs is worked up.
The drive of last season, however, was
of extraordinary size, and there is suf-
fcient material to keep the mill in
operation during most of the present
year. Next year 8 output of logs viii
