within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably, or
what you eat lies like lump OF lead in
your stomach, or il you have heartburn,
that is usually a sign of acidity of the
stomach.
Get from your pharmacist fifty-eent

no sour risings, no belching of undisested
food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or
heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling IN
the stomach, nausea, facilitating head
aches or dizziness. This will all go, and,
besides, there will be no sour food left
over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin helps to neutrailze
the excessive acid in the stomach which
is causing the food fermentation and
preventing proper digestion.
Relief in five minutes is waiting for
you at any drug store.

False Statements Are Harmful.

The finances of the whole country
public as well as private, by force of the
national needs at this crisis are sub
ordinated and adjusted to the great Lib
erty loan. Financing by railroads or
other great industries and all lesser pri-
vate financing must be considered pri-
marily in relation to the government
loans.
The needs of private interests, the
money necessities of the business of the
country as well as that of the govern
ment itself are all considered by the
secretary of the treasury in fixing the
amount and date of each issue of Lib
erty loan bonds, and the effect of the
issue of bonds on all other securities
and all other loans is given due con
sideration.
The dissemination, therefore, of I'M

Vermont Needs Better Milk.

1t costs less to maintain a COW and to
produce quart of milk in Vermont than
in any other state in New England The
report of the committee on agriculture
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
which has made an extensive investiga
tion, shows that the cost of maintaining
COW in Maine was $l946S and the cost
of milk per quart was .0662 cents; in
New Hampshire, the cost of maintaining
the COW was Sl7l.40, and the cost of
milk .0567 per quart; in Vermont main
tenance of the COW cost Sl6l.97 and milk
1854 per quart; in Massachusetts main
tenance of the COW cost $l96Sl: and
milk 0769 per quart, while in Connecti-
cut the maintenance of cow cost S200.66
and the milk 06S2 per quart
Milk testing 80 per cent butter fat
brings about six and half cents at st.
Johnsbury. So when the cost of deliv
cry is added to the cost of production it
will be seen the farmers producing 80
per cent milk are just swapping dollars.
Milk that tests better brings a better
price and evidently it costs no more to
produce Az per cent milk than the poor
er grades. SO it would seem desirable
for the farmers to produce the higher
grades of milk.
The time is near at hand when clean
milk will bring more money than dirty,
poor keeping milk, and the farmer will
do well to prepare to furnish this high
grade of milk, even to sell for Boston |
We still believe, however that the |

An Early Winter.

There is one advantage in having an
early winter such as has set its seal upon
this section of New England now, and
that is that we may have an early spring
by reason of it. One of the tests of an
early spring is settled roads, for even if
the sun shines warmly and leaves begin
to give evidence of an early arrival, hub
deep mud dispels the dream. The heavy
SHOWS of early December fell upon and
covered the ground before the winter
frosts penetrated deeply. Not since the
ground was first well covered has it since
been barred to the rayages of Jack Frost,

ket is good for many weeks. Through
this blanket the frost penetrates with
