MONTPELIER. OFT. Is. ~ The Yer

fed II. c. Copeland of New York that
it does not seem advisable for the state
of Vermont to accept Mr.. Copeland 5
conditional gift Of his farm in Middle

that the state expend $4,000 on new
buildings and spend $4,000 a year for
maintenance for = years
Writing in behalf Of the board of

rected by the board to advise You that
they have looked the property over and
considered this matter very carefully
and, under the circumstances, do not
feel that il would he wise to recon.
mend the acceptance of this property
by the state: and further to advise YOU
that the board has no authority to bind

A CHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give California Syrup of Figs if
cross, sick, feverish,
constipated.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the .1dose' mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How
you hated them, how you fought against
them.
With our children. it's different
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children s revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little ''insides are
injured by them.
If your child s stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless . fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor
row.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie of California Syrup of Figs,
which has full directions for babies
children of all ages and for grownupi
plainly on each bottle. Beware of coun
Iterfeits sold here. See that it is made
lbv California Fig Syrup Company.
Refuse any other kind with contempt

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don t get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs to excite the kidneys and
lrritate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep Your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mild, harmless salts which removes the
body's urinous waste and stimulates
them to their normal activity. The
function of the kidneys is to filter the
blood. In "a hours they strain from it
500 grains of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital i'm
lportance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can t drink
too much; also get from the pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
| Tablespoonful in a glass of water before
| breakfast each morning for a few days
| and your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to clean and stimulate clogged
| kidneys; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer is source
of irritation, thus ending bladder weak
mess.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful efferveseent
hthia- water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep THEN
kidneys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and nc
doubt You will wonder what became OF
Iyour kidney trouble and backache-
IAdyt.

The following letter, supposed to be

only q vivid bit of writing but of
especial interest to Brattleboro people
through the reference it makes to APP

| My Dear Mistress: | am car Psi,
