DRUG STORE is ROBBED
Petty Thieves Carry Away Two Boxes
of Cigars and Small Change

Robberies are becoming a daily oc.
currence, or rather nightly, episode
in this lively little burg of ours. The
latest attempt was made Monday night
when the thieves gained entrance to
the drug store thru an adjoining store
room and made away with the better
part of two boxes of cigars and about
$500 in change which Mr.. Relton had
left in the till overnight. AS good
luck would have it, there was no mon
ey or stamps in the post Office, as Mr..
Relton, proiting by the experience of
his predecessors, makes it a point to
leave nothing of value in the post
office in the evening. For this reason
the haul was light. Numbers Of resi-
dents report thieves visiting their root
cellars and making away with guam
titles of canned fruit, vegetables, ETC.,
and it would seem that it was about
time for some measures to be taken
to apprehcnd these petty thieves who
arc making things generally unpleas-
ant hereabouts.

MINISTER
AT MEMS UNION
Gives Address in First Baptist Church
on Armistice Day in France
About rs Present.

Seventy-fve or more men of the First
Baptist church listened to an interesting
address last evening by Rev. George
Z. Price, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church in Rutland, the occasion
being regular meeting of the Mems
union. Instrumental music was rendered
by an orchestra and Ernest " Barre
sang solos.
The subject of the address was Armis-
tice Day in France, topic on which
Rev. Mr.. Price is especially well in.
formed, as he was overseas 10 months
and in France at the time the armistice
was declared. Although the speaker was
not connected with any organization
when he went overseas he served with the
Y. NJ. c. A. part of the time.
Special reference was made to the
morning on which the news came that
| the armistice had been signed and of the
rapidity with which persons fell into line
when a parade was started with the
/! American flag at the head, also of the
| program which was arranged for the
afternoon He spoke of the way an off
icer had limited that peace was coming
before the armistice was declared and
that the rest of the officers were provoked
and disbelieved the report.
/ Rev. Mr. Price spoke in general or
war conditions and of the relationship
of the United States would have to the
rest of the world when peace is secured
There was some criticism of the govern
ment. Following the address refresh
ments were served.

SENATE GETTING
ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
Both Sides Agree Treaty Should Be
Kept Out of Politics-Working
for Cancellation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ls.-Expressions
that seemed to point toward a reopen
ing of the peace treaty fight within a
few weeks were voiced on the senate
floor yesterday when the subject bobbed up
in the midst of consideration of the rail
road bill.
The symposium of views that went into
the record daring the brief debate includ-
cd opinions from virtually all factions of
the divided senate membership, but they
all struck note of conciliation.
Differing widely in their suggestions for
solution, they stood together on the
general proposition that politics ought to
be forgotten, and the senate. acting in.
dependently of executive opinion, ought
to do something promptly to end suspense
and establish a state of peace.
The discussion reflected the trend OF
negotiations which have been in progress
privately among senator's for an agreement
that would get the question finally out
, of the way
In the compromise negotiations proceed
ing at private conferences among senators
the principal activity seemed to be among
the Democrats, the Republican reserva
tionists indicating that they awaited some
concrete proposal from the other side o.
the aisle. The Democratic managers wer,
hopeful that such an agreement soor
would be reported, but they predicted i
would not take tangible form until aftei
| the holidays.
Among the Democrats there was mucf
discussion of the possible effect of tn,
compromise negotiations on the contes
between Senator Hitchcock of Nebraski
and Senator Underwood OF Alabama TO
election as Democratic leader of th
senate. The negotiations started yester
day with the mild reservation Renuhli

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate IL
Put OH Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, Nigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
being advertised for the purpose of making
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
beauty there are evidently thousands of
men and women who keenly feel their
ccssive thinness
Thinness and weakness are usually due to
starved nerves Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency well s
the organic phosphate known among drug
elsts as bitro- phosphate which is inexpen-
siyc and is sold by Clark & Braincrd In
New Britain. and most all druggists under
n guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, itro-phosphatc
quickly produces q welcome transformation
in the appearance: the increase in weight
frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general Improvement in tho
health Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack
OF energy which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, disappear, dull eyes
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION. Although bitro- phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleep
lessuess and general weakness. It should
not owing to it's remarkable flesh growing
properties be used by anyone who does not
desire to put flesh.
