BIG HOTEL WAS THREATENED
When Fire Destroyed Livery Stable Neal

Burlington, Nov. Fire destroyed a
brick veneered barn owned by Patrick

morning and threatened for time the
New Sherwood hotel directly in front
Fourteen horses were rescued.
Two iiremen were injured during the
fire. William Bombard from station No

the burning building holding a hose, fell

eight feet He fractured several ribs and
will be laid up for some time. Edward
Dorey from station No 3 cut one foot
with an axe, which will ineapacitate him
from active service until the wound
heals.
The danger to the Sherwood house was
seen to be imminent and the office force
and bell boys at the hotel were sent by
Manager Steele through the several cor
ridors on each floor to awaken and warn
the guests. This was done expeditiously
and quietly and there was no panic. The
guests hastily threw something about
them and came down to the lobby, where
they were made as comfortable as pos
sible until all danger was over, after
which they returned to bed. This was
not until nearly 4:30
Fire did reach the hotel building, but
the damage was negligible. The heat

DRINK HOT WAITER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMIIPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morning
to flush from the system the previous
days waste, sour lamentations and
poisonous toxins before it is absorbed
into the blood. just as coal, when it
burns, leaves behind certain amount of
incombustible material in the form of
ashes. so the food and drink taken each
day leaves in the alimentary organs
certain amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
Ii you want to see the glow of healthy
bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin
get clearer and clearer, YOU are told to
drink every morning upon arising,
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, which is a
harmless means of washing the waste

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug store
but is sufficient to demonstrate that lust
as soap and hot water cleanses, purifes
and freshens the skin on the outside, so
hot water and limestone phosphate act
on the inside organs. We mist ALWAYS

and burned small place in it. A bath
room directly above was also somewhat
damaged. The firemen cut the hole in
the floor larger SO as to put out every
spark that might be present. Water
was poured in and the danger was passed.
The fire caught in the hay loft, so the
firemen believe, for when they arrived
the blaze was hottest in this part of the
building. At one end were stored several
wagons and sleighs which had been
hauled up on an elevator. Other things
too numerous to mention were also stored
in the loft and nearly everything was a
total loss.

20 years ago. 1t was of substantial con

When You Feel Tired,
No Appetite, Headache
(By w. M. Grantier, M. d.

III your wife tells you that You are
''grouchy" and out of sorts, be thankful
for the suggestion, and set to work to get
your liver busy for it is more than like
ly that its inactivity is at the bottom OF
your trouble. Don't blame your liver for
not doing its work. You have undoubted-
ly been giving ii too much to do. You
may have occasional headaches feel tired,
no appetite, and coated tongue, and this
condition may lead up to other things.
AT such times you are the easiest prey
for colds, grip. or the disease germs of
malaria, typhoid the deadly phthisis, or
the many ills which carry Off so many of
our citizens.
My advice is, give up alcohol, tea and
coffee. II you must drink something with
your meals let it be cup of hot water.
Begin in the morning with pint Of hot
water with half lemon squeezed in it,
If possible, and drink it half hour or
less before breakfast.
Take few minutes of bending exer
else and breathing in the morning. Walk
In the outdoor air. Occasionally, say,
once a week, take good laxative, one
that is entirely vegetable. A good one
is that made up of the extract of May
apple, vegetable calome, and jalap, and
can be had at every drug store, for it
has been sold for nearly 80 years as DIR.

If you are occasionally troubled with |
pains or lumbago, pain in the
back, toes or muscles of the body, this |
is due to uric acid stored in the system.
The liver and kidneys do not act prop |
erly. For such a person, advise taking
Anruic double strength three times
iaily for week or two. This Anuric |
throws out the uric acid which accumu
ates, and if taken occasionally will pre-
vent or cure rheumatism and govt.
There is no difficulty in obtaining Anuric

U. S. TROOPS WELL OFF
In Comparison with British Soldiers,
Writes Vermonter.

The American troops in England are
much better off, financially and as re-
CARDS food and clothing, than their Brit
| ish allies, according to word received in
Burlington from Lieut. Francis F, KEEL
logg, U. V. NJ. II, who is in training
with part of the American expedition
airy forces in England.
He notes the derivation of the word
Sammy" by which the American sol
der is known abroad, as given in Eng
land and contradicts popular belief. The
word, according to Lieutenant Kellogg,
comes from the shortening and slangify-
ing of the French words for our friends"
nos amis The general opinion in
America is that the word comes from
Uncle Sam" the slang for United
States.
Those who think that England has
been hit so hard by the war that ex-
orbitant prices have had to be charged
for many of the necessities and some
luxuries of life win be surprised to learn
that among other things, a haircut and
shampoo may be obtained in London
for a shilling, or about "A cents in Amer
lean money.

Reasons.

Rutland. Nov. 2-The Vermont public
service commission was in this city yes

petition of the Rutland Railway, Light

WINNING THE WAR.
(From the Landmark.J

The American public Is tremendously
anxious to have our soldiers get busy and
show the Kaiser thing or two. This
feeling will be particularly strong since
the defeat of the Italians, with the out
look for dead winter on the Russian
front. Yet the task of providing for an
| army in France is a stupendous one and
we don't yet realize its size.
One of the great undertakings is the
building Of new ports in France to re-
ceive our men and supplies. The exist
ing harbors are now handling all the
business they can. We must construct
four entirely new ports. This means
| building docks. deepening channels, erect
| ing railroad terminals, sidetracks, ware
houses, etc.
1t will take 500 ships coming and going
all the time to keep an army Of million
men supplied. There will be so ships in
the port at any one time being unloaded.
The French railroad roadbeds are in very
bad shape. 1t is figured that 1000 new
locomotives and 1000 new cars will be
called for. Our cars are too heavy for
their light bridges.
| Forces of lumbermen must be sent into
the French forests to get out stock for
barracks, hospitals, storehouses, etc.
Great cantonments must be rushed
through. They must be equipped with
water and sanitary arrangements, and
many comforts will DO needed to keer
the boys in good health and spirits. The
supply organizations for distribution OF
enormous quantities Of food. clothing and
munitions must be created.
Many Of our people seem to expect that
all this tremendous task can be accom-.
plished by the wave Of magician's wand
1t will take some time and much patience
But the American spirit was never baked
yet and it will not be this time.

WAR-sAvINGs PLAN SUMMARIZED

The war-savings plan provided for In
the last bond act, of September "a. 1917.
has been formulated and announced by
the Treasury department and goes into
operation on Monday. December 8.
The plan puts It easily in reach OF every
American citizen to save money and at
the same time aid the government by
supplying it with the sinews of war.
Stamps, which are the government g
certificates of indebtedness. are to be
sold in two denominations-thrifts stamps.
which cost 25 cents each. and warsaw
ings stamps, which cost from A.H to
SAB each according to the month IN
which they are purchased.
With the first thrift stamp the pur-
chaser is given a thrift card with spaces
for 16 stamps. When 16 thrift stamps
have been purchased and affixed the
thrift card can be exchanged for war
savings stamp by paying the difference
between the "a the thrift stamps repre-
| sent and the current value OF war
savings stamp, which In December, 1917
and January. 1918. will be A.I and there
after l cent for each succeeding month
during the year 1918.
With the first war-savings stamp OBJ
tanned by purchase or exchange the own
er Is given war-savings certificate con-
tanning spaces for 20 war-savings stamps
If the 20 spaces are filled during Decem'
Der. 1917. or January. 1918, the cost TO the
purchaser will be $4.12 for each stamp OF
ss2.40 for the full certificate. and on the
LIST day Of January. 1923. the government
will redeem the certificate at 500. giving
the holder a net profit Of $3.50 Tor the
use Of his money.
Although these investments DO no.
mature until January /. 1923, provision
is made whereby upon 10 days WRITER
notice after January /. 1913 such Ger
tificates will be redeemed by postmast
ers at their cost to the purchasers piui
cent a month on each war-sav'hgs
stamp on the certificate.
The thrift stamps do not bear ihteres
but the war-savings stamps bear pei
cent. compounded quarterly. Inc cor
tifcate will be dated January q 1915 ah'
mature January /. 1923.
Under the plan an amount as small d.
25 cents can be invested In govern
ment security. and as soon AS n mas oeei
thus invested an interest-bearing cert'
ficate of the United States government
can be secured.
The stamps and certificates can DO Cd
tanned from post Offices. banks or trus
companies. at most railroad STATIONS
stores. factories, and many other puoh'
places.
Having the entire wealth Of the unite'
States back of them, and being reaee"
able as above stated, there Is no dahse
of any depreciation in value OF the Ger
tihcates.
