People who have been tormented

have been brought back to robust
health through the mighty power of
Rheuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; it brings
in a few days the relief you have
prayed for. 1t antagonizes the poi

joints and muscles and quickly the
torturing soreness completely disap-

1t is harmless and inexpensive rem

is one discovery that has forced
rheumatism and sciatica to yield and
disappear.

you expect, your money will be re-

1t is easier to sell Red Cross
Christmas seals this year than ever
before because many people during
the past few months have trained in
giving. Every town has it's tightwads
who give nothing, or little in pro-
portion to their means, and in this
respect Bennington has it's share who
talk generously for others but give
mighty little themselves except in
criticism and fault finding. These,
however, are in the minority and are
becoming pretty we'll known to the
committees and canvassers. With a
deserving cause, it is easier to raise
money in Bennington than ever be-
fore because many folks are learning
that helping deserving cause is
more pleasant and profitable than
Withholding help.
