GO RIGHT AT IT

Get at the root of the trouble.
 Rubbing an aching back may relieve it,
 But won't cure it if the kidneys are weak
 You must reach the root of 1.-the kidneys.
 Reach the cause; relieve the pain.
 Begin at once with Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Are recommended by thousands.
 Here is proof of their merit.
 G. A. Yocum, retired carpenter, 721 Cloverdale St., Seattle Wash, says: Hard work such as lifting heavy timbers strained my back and weaken. ed my kidneys. I had pains in the small of my back and soreness across my kidneys which made it hard for me to stoop over or pick up anything. The irregular action of my kidneys annoyed me day and night. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved the pains and aches, took away tae soreness and regulated my kidneys"

WILL COMPROMISE
TELEPHONE CASES
Governor and Attorney General Have
Decided on This Course
Started by Fletcher.

MONIPELlER, Jan. 3.-The ceie-
DRAFTED telephone cases, started during
the administration of Gov. Allen NJ
Fletcher, which occupied the attention
OF state officials and entailed consider
aple expense TO the state, the New
England Telephone and Telegraph com
pany and Its subsidiaries, and which
were bequeathed to Gov. Charles w.
Gates with valedictory statement by
Gov. Fletcher that they ought to be
prosecuted, are to be compromised
This action has been decided upon
by Gov. Gates and Attorney General
II. &. Barber and the cases have been
remanded to the public service CON
mission which will hold public hear
lngs IN each action, such hearings TO be
advertised. The governor and attor-
ney general, after the latter had con.
ferred with counsel for the telephone
companies, decided that this action i
the only feasible and fair way TO bring
about an adjustment of the actions
which relate to the basis upon which
taxes shall be assessed on the CORPORA
tions in question.
The question of consolidating the va
nous subsidiary lines with the parent
concern will be brought up at the hear
lngs and doubtless the proposition will
be advanced to reorganize the telephone
system of the state under the laws Of
Vermont. In this connection it is like
" that the capital stock of the con
sohdated concerns would be increased
The various telephone companies
have for two yearS hean -,ayipoy ~,
creased taxes over previous years and,
1t is claimed, under an increased cap
ltallzation the state would receive as
great n tax revenue as under the pres.
cnt conditions.
The effect of the compromise agree
ment reached between the state Off
elals and counsel for the companies is
to quash the eases and take them up de
noVo with the public service commits
sion.

Son of Jennie Bacon Killed.

News has been received here of a
fatal accident to Harold b. Bergh,
president of the New Haven Wall Pa
per Co, and the news is of interest
here because of the fact that Mr..
Bergh's mother, Jennie Bacon, is a
daughter of Deacon Bacon, who lived
ON West hill and was one Of the foun-
ders of the Baptist church here, and
because she IS q sister Of Henry Ba-
con of Bellows Falls. She has many
friends here who sympathize with her
IN her great sorrow. Mr.. Bergh was
driving his automobile which had just
been taken out of the repair shop and
was trying to drive around another
ear when his car struck soft earth and
skidded against q telegraph pole. Tn
the collision he was whipped out Of the
seat, and the car then came back into
the road, crashed into and overturned
another ear. Those who were with Mr.
Bergh did not know that he was
thrown out of the automobile until
after the two machines crashed in the
road.

REORGANIZATION NEEDED.
Testimony at Boston g. Maine Hearing
Road Fundamentally Wrong.

BOSTON, Jan. 3. - Norman l.. Bas-
sett of Augusta, Ne, a director of the
Boston q Maine railroad, testified at
the receivership proceedings in the fed
eral court at Boston yesterday that he
believed reorganization was necessary
Tor the best interests OF the road s com
mon stock. The fundamental trouble
with the. road was its structure, he
said, and the sooner that was changed
the better.
Mr.. Bassett voted for the receiver
ship, he said, because he believed the
road had reached the end of its rope
and that II was impraeticable and in
eXpedient to renew the short. term notes
amounting TO sl3,0OO,0O0. Regarding
the Hampden railroad s claim, he
said he voted to compromise il because
he thought that was the only practical
way of handling it,
Marcus i. Knowlton, a director of
the Boston & Maine in his capacity as
federal trustee of the stock in the
road owned by the New York. New Ha.
ven 4 Hartford, was recalled Yesterday
afternoon by minority counsel. He said
he could see no prospect of dividends
Tor common stockholders exeept
through reorganization, but he object
ed to the plan proposed by the directors
because il would increase the interests
to be paid on the bonded Indebtedness
Of the road and its leased lines by
Sl,4OO,0OO. The amount could be saved
In his opinion, if the leased line inter
ests and stockholders could agree. A
reduction Of rental rates would be a
necessary part of such an agreement. he
said. Mr.. knowlton was on the stand
when adjournment was taken until TO
day.
Relative to the Hampden railroad
claims, for which the Boston & Maine
has been sued, Judge knowlton took
the same view that had been expressed
by Bassett earlier, that it was a claim
that would have to be settled one way
or the other, whether the Boston and
Maine is recognized or returned to it
self by the court. The claim, amount
ing TO So 10000, to which the original
cost of construction had been reduced
by the public service commission, would
have to come up for settlement some
way, he said, either by a compromise. bv
arbitration, or by trial of the suit in
court, for there is no escape from If
though the court might exempt the Bos.
ton q Maine from liability, or might al.
low the full claim against it. The ex.
istenee of the claim is something that
the directors and trustees could not
have ignored.

worked is further indicated in ONE
competition in which ten teams were
entered, and in which the lowest rat

responsible for an aggregate attend

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
common garden Sage and Sulphur makes
streaked, faded or gray hair dark
and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lus
ire to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get
TINS mixture was to make it at home.
which IS mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for ''Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie Of this old recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients for about
% cents. Everybody uses this prepare
ton now, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as il
does 1t SO naturally and evenly. You
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and CLOS
sy and you look years younger Wveth s
Sage and Sulphur Compound is a de-
hghtful toilet requisite. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.-Advt.
