ACADEMY SEEMS INvINoIBLE.
Only Cataclysm Can Keep Team from
Championship.

Apparently only a baseball cataclysm
from clinching the the championship
of the Glover league. Yesterday the
smooth-running baseball aggregation
took Bellows Falls high into camp by
the score of to I. Although tho
losers showed some fine baseball. They
were lacking in pep and failed time
after time in putting over the punch
while the academy boys grasped every
opportunity to come through with a
win.
Mann and Montville were on the
points and both boys pitched good
ball. Y. A. gave Mann good support
and 50 did Bellows Falls, except at
one or two critical points.
V. A. and Brattleboro will meet ON
Fuller s field Saturday morning, ac-
cording to the present program, and
that afternoon Keene will play Bel
lows Falls at Barber park. Y. a. has
won four games and lost one, Bellows
Falls has won two and lost two, having
besides Saturdays game a postponed
game with Brattleboro. Keene has
won two and lost two and Brattleboro
has gone so far without winning one
of its games. The cataclysm referred
to in the first paragraph would come il

efforts have been without success.

Bird Tenants Require Bathrooms.

Water is just as important to the
birds as foods SAYS a writer in the
Woman s Home Companion, "and
sometimes is harder for them to find.
Any plans for attracting birds must
include some sort of water supply, botI
for drinking and bathing. 1t is al
most impossible to let an apartment
to these tenants without a bathroom.

attractive feature of the gordon. All

victirns Of Digestive Disorders Tell of Wonderful Effect of

Many New England stomach suf- ferers and, in fact, people all over the United States, have found remarkable results from the use of Mayr's Won derfnl Remedy.
 Hundreds in this State alone have taken this remedy and tell today of the benefits they received. Its effects come quickly the first dose con- vinces; no long treatment. Here is what two who have taken it say:
 MRS. s. E.. JOHNSON 61 Whit more street, Hartford, Conn, wrote: My pains left me the next day after taking the treatment. It is simply wonderful how 1t relieved me.
 MRS. CLARE SHAW, 493 Dexter street, Providence. R. |. wrote. T received your treatment and 1t saved my life. I am better now than have been for twenty years"
 Mayr,s Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more dis tress after eating pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute g1arantee-- if not satisfactory money will be re- turned.
