Jas. F. L.entz.
(Contrlbuted)

After brave struggle with pneumonia,
following an attack of Spanish influenza,
Jas. F. Lentz passed away January 4th-
at 3 t'c'ock, at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Lentz, of
Ellerbe.
That the dreaded epidemic has taken
well-loved character and citizen in the
death of Mr.. Lentz is the grieved ex
preston heard on every ones lips. MIR.
Lentz was a man who never had great
deal to say but when expressing himself
was regarded as an authority on almost
any subject. He read lots and for this
reason was we'll posted.
Mr.. Lentz was man of exceptional
business ability; starting few years ago
with practically no capital at all he went
into the lumber business, and his ability
to landle same was such that at the be-
ginning of 1919 he had built up a very
prosperous and successful business. At
the time Ct his death he was worth
about $4,000 which had been solely
made by himself.
The town and entire community mourn
with the family the loss of this beloved
citizen.
| A short funeral service was held at the
Town Cemetery after which interment
followed. His burial was largely attend
ed in spite of the very severe weather.
The floral tribute was token of the
love of his many friends and was of un-
usual beauty.
Surviving Mr.. Lentz are his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Lentz, Mr.. John F..
Lentz, a brother, of Ellerbe, and sister,
Mrs. Olive, of Cameron.

Fer him no bank account shall swell;

wherein it would be able to give Ben
nington service during the winter
with the additional expense of keep
ing the road cleared of snow and of
maintaining heated cars.
1t is understood that an attempt
has been made to secure some action
on the part Of the public service com
mission that would result in the re-
sumption of service between this vii
lage and North Adams. 1t is to be
doubted, however, if the commission
when fully informed of the financial
condition of the Berkshire Street
Railway company, would be war
ranted in issuing any order that would
change the existing situation.
Some one has suggested that It
might be possible to operate a gaso
line car between Bennington and Pow
nal village Cars of this type which
permit one man to run the engine and
collect the fares, acting as both en-
gineer and conductor, have been in
existence for years Such a service
would make 1t possible to convey the
Pownal operatives to and from their
work morning and night and give
the travelling public connection with
the Boston and Maine railroad at
Pownal. The Inauguration OF such
service would necessitate some ne
gotiations and might require the or
ganization of small corporation
which would take temporary lease
of the section OF track between the
two villages. However almost any
project that does not mean the ex
pendiure Of an unreasonable amount
of money is preferable to the watch
full waiting policy that prevails at the
present time The lack of service
that now prevails Is creating per
petual economic loss and this loss
falls upon people who want to work in
Bennington and maintain their more
economical homes in Pownal, upon the
manufacturers all OF WON are short
of help and upon the world at large
wherein the one big problem just now
is the shortage of production.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1919
GASOLINE RAILWAY SERVICE

With winter close at hand Benning-
ton is confronted with a serious
transportation problem created by
the suspension of traffic on the Ben
nington and North Adams branch of
the Berkshire Street Railway system.
To be sure, no cars have been run be
tween Bennington and North Adams
for many weeks but at the present
time the inconvenience of the situa
ton is alleviated to a considerable de-
gree by the automobile bus which
meets trains on the Boston and Maine
in North Adams and by automobiles
that are operated by taxi drivers and
those driven by their owners. Then,
too, there is considerable number of
persons living in Pownal who are
employed in the Bennington mills
Formerly they went to and from their
work on the trolley cars but now they
are being transported in the auto
buses that were run during the sum-
mer on the Bennington and Dorset
line.
1t is only logical to presume that
the highway between Bennington and
Pownal and on to North Adams will
soon be in such a condition that 1t
will be impossible to maintain the
automobile service 1t is too pre-
sumptuous to hope for another winter
like that of 1888 when automobiles
were run nearly every day. Even in
southern Vermont winter is likely to
mean snow and ice roads for weeks
at time. By taking route into
New York state and then back into
Massachusetts persons who travel by
rail are now able to reach points to
the east They are inconvenJ enced
by delays but they can make connec-
tions.
The really serious feature of the
situation is presented in the cases of
the mill operatives who are now being
transported between Bennington and
the villages OF Pownal Center and
Pownal The closing of the highway
to automobile traffic means that they,
will be unable to continue their EN-.
ployment This community is in no
position TO lose the services of a
single operative who wants to work.
Since the cars ceased to run on the
trolley road a number of workers,
who had lived in Pownal, have man.
aged to find homes in Bennington
and more are endeayoring to do so.
This only helps to aggravate the con-
gestion in the village where the hous-
ing problem has been serious for
months.
Every two or three weeks there is
rumor that the Berkshire company
is about to resume service over the
Bennington and North Adams branch,
but the rumor is no sooner in circu
lation than it is denied by officials OF
the company. II the company is not
in position to operate during the
summer it is difficult to comprehend

Be Prepared
For influenza
Cut This Out

Many medical men say we Will prob
abIy have another epidemic this fall.
Let us all hope and pray we VIII not.
But at the same time let us be well
prepared.
The flu as it is called usually starts
with Il cold and tightness in the chest.
IL you ever suspect there is a
chance that you may be getting in
1uensa take IA good dose of laxative
tea, such as Or, Carter's X y Tea
or Celery King and send for your ply
stefan. While you are waiting for the
doctor rub Begy's Mustarine on throat
and chest.
Rub 1t on freely and never mind II
it does feel good and hot 1t cannot
blister even the tenderest skin
But don't stop at throat and chest;
get some one to rub this enemy OF in
tlammation over your entire back and
especially between the shoulder blades.
This is one Of the most sensible
precautions you can take against pneu-
mona which often quickly follows the
flu and is just what the doctor tries
hard to sidetrack
You can get Begy's Mustartine for 80
and go cents in yellow boxes all ready
for use at any drug store,
Remember it is made of real yellow
mustard Use it for sore throat, coughs
chest colds, pleurisy bronchitis, lum
bago and all aches and pains

Not All Arc Aliens

II is pleasant reading to learn that
the government has actually begun
the transportation of undesirable
aliens. The work ought to be kept up
General Stewart tells a good story of
what happened in one city in this
country at the time we got into the
war This town had large foreign
population Some loyal Americans
got out this sign
IF you don't like the way things
are going keep your month shut"
IF you can't keep your mouth shut,
so back to where you came from"
"If you cant go there go to He'll"
And that Is just the way all good
Americans feel about it, We have
welcomed the foreigner to our shores,
have given him wonderful opportuni-
ties, and in return we have expected
that he would observe our laws and
would not outrage our hospitality by
trying to upset them In too many
cases we have been deceived. The
blatant, mouthy foreigner has stirred
up trouble beyond measure He talks
as if he owned the country He acts
as if he knows what is better for
Americans than they know them
selves. The country has becc4le sick
and tired of it all 1t wants these
trouble makers sent out of the coun.
try and the government ought to keep
right at it until it is understood the
world over that America belongs to
Americans and that trouble makers
Will dealt with with a promptness
that will make them dizzy.-St. Adams

If Thin and Nervous
Try Bitro-P Phosphate

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
in different individuals, it is Well
known fact that the lack of phos-
phorous in the human system Is very
largely responsible for this condition.
1t seems to be well established that
shis deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may
now be met by the use of Bitro-
Phosphate, which can be obtained
from any good druggist in convenient
tablet form.
In many instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces welcome change
nerve tension, disappears vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack Of
energy and the whole body loses it's
ugly holiows and abrupt angles, be-
coming enveloped in a glow of perfect
health and beauty and the will and
to be up and doing
CAUTION Bitro-P phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief of ner-
vousness, general debility, etc, those
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care In avoiding
fat producing foods
