Statements that May Be Investigated
Testimony of Barton Citizens.

When a Barton citizen comes to the
front, telling his friends and neigh
bors of his experience, you can rely
on his sincerity. The statements Of
people residing in far away places do
not command your confidence. Home
endorsement is the kind that backs
Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony
is convincing. Investigation proves
it true. Below is a statement of a
Barton resident. No stronger proof
of merit can be had.
C. F. Cutler, farmer, Park, ST.,
says: II suffered from 1umbago and
with rheumatic pains in my Shout
ders. This bothered me a lot and
made me miserable. heard of Doan's
Kidney Pills and decided to use them
and 1 went to the E. w. Barron Co.
and bought some. They relieved me

good, reliable kidney medicine"

Speed Was Justified.

Police magistrates have heard that
stereotyped excuse Of speeders-that
something must be wrong with their
speedometer-so often when they are
hailed to court for stepping too hard
on the gas that they welcome any new
stuff, relates a New York correspon-
dent. "You are charged with speed
ing % miles an hour" said the magis-
trate of the traffic court to a road
burner. ''That, sir, Is very danger
Gus speed. Death and disaster Turk
where motorist travels with such
disregard Of the law" "Now, judge"
said the man at the bar, looking into
the eyes Of the magistrate like a
spanked baby waiting for the next
blow. II had heard where I could buy
some sugar, and I was in a hurry to
get there" There wasn't much the
magistrate could do In the face Of
that, SO he fined the defendant $25.

The NadQind Wife.

In the course of our investigations
we discovered that in some homes. al
though the wife was not dissolute. she
was, nevertheless, almost wholly to
blame for the wretched conditions
which existed. asserts the University
Magazine. In these cases the hus-
band was hard working and earned
sufficient money from week to week
to win O comfortable home, If he pos
sessed a comfortable helpmeet, but
the wife, unfortunately, was afflicted
with the densest ignorance Of the art
of hOme-making. In some other in
stances the home was made unhappy
by q nagging wife, with a rasping
tongue. One woman Of this type
appeared in the juvenile court charg-
ing her husband with neglecting her
and her children. The husband Of
fered no evidence at the end Of his
wife's TRADE, which 1T was impossible
for the court to check. "Can you
blame me for taking a drink occa-
siOnally?"

Somewhere in France,
Dec. IL, 1917.
Dear folks all:
Just line tonight to let you know
l am real well and comfortable. I
got your letter yesterday and the
sugar and thank you very much for
it. 1t tasted pretty good as we don't
have very much sugar.
l have not received the other pack
ages yet but they will come along all
right in time.
Have been very well remembered
by all at home and we would all like
to be there for Christmas, but we
have one consolation that we have
not been forgotten by the folks at
home, who have done everything in
their power to add to our comfort. I
have received lots of tobacco and
sweet things lately. Got the sugar
you sent first all right. Did you get
my letter? Our mail reaches us all
right I think but sometimes it is bad
ly delayed. I had two letters from
Luke the same day, one dated Oct.
%, the other Nov. 18th. Got the
card from Jerome. Tell him l was
glad to hear from him and will send
him one when l can go where l can
buy one.
Got Ruth's letter and have sent her
a souvenir from France. Hope she
has got it all right.
I appreciate all the letters from
home very much and l hope to hear
from you all real often and will try
to send you a card once a week if l
don't have time to write a letter.
It looks now as if our home would
be in France for some time, but of
course we do not know only what we
read, but don't mind being here if the
object for which we came can be ac-
complished, and we would not care to
return till that time comes, which we
all hope will not be long.
It has been real warm so far COM
pared with Vermont winter, but have
had some pretty frosty mornings, but
it doesn't seem to last long. We
have had hardly any snow and some
days are real warm. It is a very
pretty country here, where there has
been no fighting and nearly every bit
of land could be titled. There are
lots Of aeroplanes here and we can
hear the roar Of the big guns, al
though we are quite long distance
from them.
Suppose they are getting lots of
take a shot at one with the rifle I
have here and see if it's any good.
Have not had chance to use it yet.
The Masonic lodge of Rutland are
sending me a Christmas present, and
all the members who are in France.
Have not received it yet. The mas
ter has sent me some tobacco.
It is quite late and nearly time for
the bugle to call US to quarters, SO
will close hoping to hear from you all
soon.
Love to all,
Kilt

Stock Food Substitutes.

In the search for substitutes for live
stock food a German scientist made
analytical tests Of materials suggested
for the purpose. He found dried rhu-
barb leaves better than hay as a fodder
for hogs; kelp may be fed to cattle
and pigs, but it has little nutritive
value; ground straw, which is selling
at from % to so marks the quintal, is
not good for any animal, nor are
ground pea pods. He advises against
cornstalks and cobs. The seeds of
beets are nutritive, those of parsley
too exciting, those of raisins, if ground
before the oil is extracted, are as good
as hay. Oil cakes made from beech
or other nuts are excellent for cattle.

(Fleming Gazettel

James Cotterill living in the Nepton
neighborhood says he was keeping a
sum of money, between $4,000 and
$1,000, in a suit case at his home, and
on Monday of last week he found It
had disappeared. A young white girl
about 16 years of age had been living
as a domestic In the family and she
on the Saturday previous resigned her
position and left for her home near
Goddard. Mr.. Cotterill swore out II
search warrant for the young woman
and the house where she was staying
was searched without any trace of the
missing money being found. The girl
was interrogated at the county judges 8
office and denies knowing anything
whatever about the missing money
No trace OF II has yet been found, and
MIC otterill no doubt regrets that the
money was not put In bank Instead
OF suit case, Tho young woman has
always borne a good reputation.

PRESIDENT MAY

Work Is COmpleted-TO Live
In Embassies.

Washington, November 2O-Presi-
dent Wilson has set no limits on the
length of his stay abroad in connec-
tion with the meeting of the peace
conference. This was the impression
gained by Democratic senator's at a
conference with the President last
night.
There was belief today that Mr..
Wilson would remain abroad indefi-
nitely and at least until the greater
part of the work of the peace confer
ence had been completed. While alb
sent from the United States, the SEN
ators said, the President intends to
conduct all the affairs of his office as
though he were in Washington. Cab
les, wireless and dispatch boats will
be used to transact business, as the
occasion demands. The President is
understood to hold that while stay
ing at an American embassy abroad
he is technically on American soil
and for that reason can perform vir-
tuaIly all of the functions of his office

GERMANY IS ABLE To
PAY, SAYS DIPLOMAT
Allies Have Means of Compelling Her
To Do So If She Falls-Press
Attacks Sympathy Plea.

Paris, November 20 Sympathy
pleas for Germany were attacked
strongly by the Paris press today The
Midi declared that Germany is able to
pay all claims against it, adding that
"all the people who were able to make
a long-range gun to lombard an enc
my capital have sufficient construc-
tive imagination to recuperate."
1t is regarded here as probable
that the peace preliminaries will not
begin until December Is, or after the
general election in England. The
chaotic conditions in Austria-Hungary
and Bulgaria and the lack of adequate
information about the programme of
the new German government will con-
tribute to the delay.
Information quotes a prominent
diplomat as saying that the Allies
have accomplished their chief objects
| in the armistice terms, which are be-
ing carried out with great energy and
that peace will only be made with
responsible governments 1t perhaps
will require two or three months for
the holding of general election in
Germany and to establish a stable
government.
"In the meanwhile" the anony-
nous diplomat added, Eve have the
means of compelling Germany to pay
up"
