DO THIS FIRSJ-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis.
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion after sickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

you half plainly enough just
how nice a line we have. After
going over the New York mar

Wish that we could take every one

we see them-could see what is com
ing in very few weeks, that you,
here at home, can hardly realize.
When we say plan early purchases,
we mean just what we say. If you

now. Here in Vermont, where we
have anticipated conditions, you can
buy at old prices. Very soon we, too,
will have to take our turn.

of the new farm loan law?
They have no land TO mortgage, but
they can borrow from the government

Government, however will only lend
half the value of the land
The purchaser must arrange to take
care of the other half Of the price.
He must make his own deal with the
man who wants to sell the land
If he has the cash to pay, or some
.hing Of value, the matter is simple
If he has some cash, he might give
personal note, or a second mortgage.
Bankers say the second mortgage
would be good security.
If a man has no capital It will be
hard for him to buy a farm
In any case, he must make an in.
diyidual arrangement 70 take care of
half the purchase price-because the
government must have the first mort

The Only oir,-P,,sce Tonight

The only Girl" the new musical
comedy which was one Of the big
successes OF the past season in New
York will be offered by Joe Weber
al the Palace tonight.
The Only Girl" was written by
Henry Blossom. who supplied book and
lyrics and Victor Herbert, who com
posed the music. and was produced
under the stage direction OF Fred G.
Latham. These men have been sue
cessfuI before in combination, as with
Mile Modiste," and The Red NEIL
but not more so than in the present
work.
II was first presented by Mr. Weber
at the 2sth street theatre in New
YORK and was received with imme-
diata favor. so great, in fact, that it
was quickly moved to the Lyric Thea
tre. which is a larger playhouse. The
story concerns a young man about
town who is a successful writer Of
comic operas and who has work in
hand for which he needs composer
10 collaborate, and is led to enlist the
services Of young girl not without
misgiyings, however since he is con.
firmed woman hater In enlisting her
services, he makes the stipulation that
their dealing together will be strictly
business and that She is 10 be treated
by him just as if she were man.
Notwithstanding this, he soon falls in
love and finds that she is the only T.
girl for him.
In writing The Only Girl" Mr. /
Blossom has departed from the beaten
tracks and has given to the public
play that might easily pass the iudg .
ment of the seyerest critic even had .
II been produced without music but
when to the brilliant lines and unique
situations Victor Herbert brought the
wealth of his genius as a composer,
the combination is well nigh a per
feet one.
Manager Weber promises a superior
production and an excellent cast,
among the players selected being:

Farm Loan Bonds Are Tax Free.

In connection with the sale of the
farm loan bonds issued under the
new rural credits law, the members OF
the commission realize that the bond
market huctuates. When stocks are
high bonds are usually low, and vice
versa. But they believe there will
be less fluctuations on the federal
land mortgage bonds than on any of
the Industrial, municipal. state or rail
road bonds in the country. The rea-
sons for this belief are comparatively
simple. All bonds except the federal
land mortgage bonds are subject to
one or more forms of taxation. They
are subject to none, not even the re-
Gently enacted inheritance tax. They
were specifically exempted from all
municipal state or federal taxation
when the law was passed and it is
assumed they are also exempt from
the new inheritance tax. II this ruling
is upheld. a person whose fortune is
invested in them may die without
any fear that his heirs will have to
pay an inheritance tax on the federal
farm loan bonds they inherit. Not
only the interest but the principal It.
self will be exempt from taxation.
according to the present view Of the
board
With regard to rising and falling of
the bond market one OF the members
OF the farm loan board told me that
after he has been a borrower for five
years a farmer can take advantage of
every slump in the interest rate to
get rid of his highest interest mort
gage and take a lower interest one.
inquired especially whether farmers
who borrow money at the outset of
the new system could take advantage
Of reductions of interest as soon as
they are made. 1t is the opinion of
members OF the board they cannot un-
I'll they have held their loan five years.
No absolute ruling has been handed
down on this point yet. and it is pos
'ible that the board may change its
mind and open the way :or a farmer
always to take advantage of low
interest, irrespective of the time he
ias had a loan.-Washington Cores
,ondent in Farm Life.

INTEREST RATES UNDER
THE NEW FARM LOAN LAW

What most farmers want to know
now is the interest rate they viii
have to pay ON their loans
Before the members OF the board
started ON their tour Of the country
several weeks ago they were inclined
TO believe that the farmers would
have 10 start out by reying the max
imum rate, 8 per cent. and that this
would be reduced on new loans as fast
as the farm mortgages became popu-
Iar investments. On their return the
members believed that 3 II per cent
would be the high rate for the coun-
try at large and that in some states
ii might fall as low as per cent or
event 3-4 per cent
At the present time, one of the
members told me. the farmer in some
localities look upon per cent money
as a God send and II he can get it for
any less without paying out lot Of
fees and commissions he will be
happy.
Under the law, the interest rate can
not be more than per cent in excess
OF the interest paid on the farm mort.
gage bonds It Is from the sale of
these bonds that the money will be
obtained by the farm banks to loan to
the farmers ON their property mort /

persons as q more desirable invest
