food, the blood absorbs and carries the
nourishment to the different parts of
the body, causing the various organs to
properly perform their functions.

ingredients of Argo- Phosphate, the
new herbal stomach remedy, which is
now being introduced here. 1t is pure
ly vegetable and it's vitalizing, correct
i've and reconstructive qualities are so
pronounced that beneficial results are
noticed from the first day. That this is
true, it is only necessary to listen TO
lie statements made daily by local peo-
pie who have given Argo Phosphate
a fair trial and have benefited there
by.
1t is dispensed by Quinlan's Pharm-
acy. W. L. Gokay's Pharmacy, d. A.

MUD AT WHITE RIVER JUNCTION
Cattle Used to Haul Autos From Deep
Mire.

White River Junction. Sept. IA
The aftermath of the Vermont State
fair was even more disagreeable than
the fair itself. The management is
assured that ii has made expenses by
the good day that the fair ran, but
the exhibitors and concessionaires
had great difficulty in removing their
supplies from the grounds yesterday
on account of the sea of mud which
existed everywhere.
Automobiles were stuck hub deep
all over the grounds and it was neces
sary in most cases to utilize the cat
tie exhibits to haul the machines
from the mire. Tents and goods of
the midway hawkers we're soaked and
the getaway from the fair was made
with great difficulty. The water still
remained ankle deep and all heavy
equipment was held over a day until
the sun had had a chance to dry up
the bog.
