fected in the slightest the enthusiasm
OF the Montpelier and Barre women in
attendance, and Charles f. Lowe of
Montpelier outlined every feature of the
big push just ahead, answering most
questions before the women could ask
them, and gingering up the campaign in
a manner that makes the outlook bright
for splendid showing among women
in this loan.
That is what the county and Barre are
out fora splendid showing among wom-

PROVEN SNAMP-ROOT
AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system In rundown condition.
The kidneys seem TO suffer most, as al
most every victim complains OF lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, so
many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is q splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed In most cases
by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be IN need of it. Better get bottle from
your nearest drug store, and start treat

Small girls, never too small to enjoy
their pretty finery, are bobbing up on
the promenades and in the parks,
dressed in their new winter clothes.
They are anticipating the snow with
coy furS and coats and bright hats
and bonnets, destined to make them
look like gay winter flowers against a
white background, when it flies. Their
millinery is colorful and often their
coats are in light tones and the shoes
OF the small fry, more often than not,
have white uppers with black vamps.
Rose, bright blues and the brown and
castor colors are much in evidence in
millinery and we may promise our
selves liberal sprinkling Of red tones
as the winter advances. Solomon in
all his glory may have been arrayed
as gorgeously as one of these young
sters, but he never was better suited
or happier over it.
OF all her belongings the little girl
seems to get the most pure Joy out of
fur neckpieces and muffs. Almost as
soon as she can walk they are ready
for her. What woman cannot recall
the first fur ser that came into her pos
session-usually at Christmas time,
and her unmixed delight in il? Moth

pOcketbOok can bring the same thrill

Musician Has Travelled Ear.

Sydney Nicholson, recently appoint
ed Organist at Westminster abbey. is
a confirmed wanderer. This explains
why he holds the record for playing
in more churches and cathedrals in
England and abroad than any other
living organist. He started at Frank
fort, Germany, and from there he
drifted to Barnet, Eton and Manches-
ter.
At the latter city he founded the
popular midday organ recitals for
working people. These proved so sue
cessful that the scheme has now been
extended to the whole Of the northern
counties.
1t IS not only in the Interpretation
of sacred music, however, that Mr..
Nicholson has proved himself. He is
an organist, composer and conductor
rolled into one, and has written an ex-
quisite setting to some of Rupert
BrOOke's poetry. The two We're fast
friends at Oxford, and the organist's
music is an eloquent tribute to the
dead poets genius
