poison my system.

So much marital unhappiness is

American cowboys, driving their

Local Committee Met to Organize
Wednesday Evening.

The local committee on war service
met Wednesday evening at the Ben
nington club to consider the steps tc
be taken toward selling the allotment
Df Liberty bonds for Bennington and
vicinity.
Nearly every member of the com
mittee of 80 was present and the in
terest shown was such that it was
felt that Bennington people are just
as earnestly determined to do their
full share as when the first loan was
sold.
Guy B. Johnson, chairman of the
committee, presided and Homer II.
Webster read the suggestions made
by the federal reserve bank at Bos-
ton, in which jurisdiction this town
is located
The allotment for bennington is
not yet known but It is expected to
be about 1915, 900 as this loan is to be
three billions While the other was
only two billions. and the first allot-
ment was S25O.00O
Various plans were considered and
some of them will be worked out
One method suggested was to devote
one day to the canvass with every
body ip town taking part so that all
would have a chance TO aid in this
important work. 1t is planned TO have
d big patriotic meeting here during
the canvass.
Some OF our Bennington boys are
already in France, and even now al
most 100 more from this county are
on their way over. To win the war
the army must have financial backing

form. And this after they had in
some cases been doctoring for months

don't take the old forms of reduced
iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron

take iron in form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated like nuXated
iron If you want it to do any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than
useless. Many an athlete or prize

his blood with iron before he went in

gone down to inglorious defeat SIM

The above statement of the British
admiralty again lowers the aggregate
OF British merchantmen sunk by
mines or submarines during any
week since Germany began her in
tensified submarine campaign, AS
against 10 merchant vessels sunk the
previous week, which was the low rec

AGREE ON WAGES
Navy Department and Union Presi-
dents Come to Agreement.

Washington, Oct An agreement
on wage scales was reached yesterday
between the navy department and
the presidents of the international
trades unions, representing nayy-yard
employees. While figures have not
been finally decided, it was announced
officially that the conference had
reached point where the trade
union men expected to sign up today
for the ensuing year. The effect of
the scale under consideration will be
to increase the cost of nayy-yard la
Dor to the government more than 10
per cent over the scale of 1917, which
expired September "a. While the war
department did not participate in the
conferences, it is expected that under
the standardization policy for civil
employees of the army and navy and
of the shipping board men at the ar
senals and engaged on government
shipbuilding outside the navy-yards in
many cases will benefit from the new
plan.

st. Julian Mayo, u wealthy radiator
manufacturer OF New Haven, Ct, was

of in less than four minutes. The jury
rendered its verdict after hearing the
complainant's side and only q a by
counsel in behalf of Mayo.
Mrs Meyer-Mayo's complaint was
that after marrying Mayoin 1904, she
discovered later, through notoriety
given to Mayos marital relations a
year or two ago. that he had been
married to Florence Weeks
of Scranton, Pa. The latter obtained
divorce from him, leaving him free to
rewed the complainant legally, but
this, Mrs MeyerMayo claimed he re-
fused to do, saying that he was OBJ
ligated to woman in Brooklyn by

admitted the breach of promise, but
said that Mrs. Meyer-Mayo knew
Mayo had been previously married
when she married him, that his client
had given her $25.000 and that he felt
she was amply provided for.
