HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.,

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in
your face, to see your skin get clearer
and clearer, to wake up without head
ache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty
breath, in fact to feel your best, day in
and day out, just try inside bathing every
morning for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it as a
harmless means of washing from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten
ing and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into the
stomach. The action of hot water and
limestone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases and
acidity and gives one a splendid appetite
for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot
water and limestone phosphate act on
the blood and internal organs. Those
who are subject to constipation, bilious
attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges,
also those whose skin is sallow and com
plexion pallid, are assured that one week
of inside bathing will have them both
looking and feeling better in every way

JACKNIvES AND STICKS.

Time was when a good sharp jack
knife and stick or scantling of some
sort had considerable influence in com
merclal transactions. They were very
common and skill with a iacknife was
almost an unconscious requirement
When Neighbor Jones went down to
Neighbor Smith 5 on rainy morning
to see about buying a pig or cow or
to swap horses both would sit down on
a block of wood under the shed and
begin to talk and whittle after, the
business of the visit had been stated
and difference of opinion over price or
terms had developed. At times con
versation stopped and these two men
simply whitfield and thought, bringing
themselves to an attitude of concession
and final agreement or "trade.''
It often required a smart bit of skill
full whiting to shave away the differ
ence of s. on the price of cow but
the whiting prevented the pronounce
mcnt of an ultimatum that would break
off negotiations or any utterance that
generated hard feelings in the breast
Of either negotiator. The first effect
of each man taking out his jackknife
and picking W stick or shingle or
ing of each contender on an equal ba
sis. The next development was a spirit
of admiration as each showed his skill
with the jackknife. Then each man
could begin to appreciate the stand
point of the other and was ready to
compromise on differences. While it
was in way playing with sharp yea
pons it generally smoothed over diff
Guilty and seldom left any wound, un-
ISIS it was the small boy listening to the
dckering and trying to perfect HIM
self in the art of whiting.
The whiting away of disagreements
forms a pleasant picture in memory of
the days that are gone and suggests a
method of approach in the great CON
tests of present business and industry.
1t certainly seems as though E. II.
Gary, head of the great United States
Steel corporation, would appear to bet
ter advantage if he would come out
and sit down with representatives of
the great body of employees of his cor
poration, near their side of the case.
talk over the situation from the stand
point Of each side and then suggest
common terms of agreement, than he
does as an unapproachable master of
labor. The public certainly would view
a little whiting contest between these
two powerful interests with more ad-
miration and confidence than it does the
spirit of aloofness and hostility of his
abrupt and gruff refusal to meet his
employees for conference and negotia-
ton.

A BRATTLEBoRo INTERVIEW.
Mr.. Howe Tells His Experience

The following brief account of an
interview with Brattleboro man ten
years ago and its sequel, will be read
with keen interest by every citizen.
y. f. Howe, A Canal St., Brattleboro
gave the following statement on Sep.
TENDER %, 1908; "My back troubled
me for long time and I got so lame
from STOPPING and lifting, 1 could hard
ly straighten up. Sharp pains caught
me every time 1 stopped and though !
tried plasters and liniments and sever
al remedies for my back, / got no re-
lief. Finally I got Doan s Kidney Pills
from the Brattleboro Drug Co. and two
boxes did what the other remedies had
failed to do. They removed the lame.
ness and soreness from my back, the
backache left and my kidneys became
regular. / could once again work all
day and didn't feed the affects of il
in my back
On November 30, 1916 Mr.. Howe
said: "Doan IS Kidney Pills are just as
high in my estimation today as they
were when gave them my first recon-.
mendation. Every time 1 have the
least trouble with my back, I use
Doan s Kidney Pills and they always
straighten me up in good shape

A Commendable Campaign.

ss7 Bloomington Banner.)
The state publicity department has
inaugurated a eommendable campaign
for the purpose of developing summer
homes in Vermont, particularly in the
southern half of the state. 1t is evil
dent that the opportunity is unlimited
and that there is room for big expan.
sion. If the idea is carried out it will
result in bringing into the state more
people, for a portion of the year, at
least, and it will distribute not little
money in sections where it will do the
most good. In order to obtain any per-
manent development along these lines
it will be necessary for the authori-
ties to stiffen their attitude toward the
vandals who make a practice of break
ing into camps and summer cottages.
This practice is one of the most perni-
cious of the petty crimes and is not Civ
en- enough serious consideration. Us
nally the thieves are degenerates, poor
shiftless youths with just enough cour-
age to break into building where
there was no danger of being caught,
| and when they are brought into court
they are treated for what they are and
not for what they have done. This ten
dency toward leniency has not corrected
the evil but has encouraged it and
breaks have been reported from all sec
tions of the state during the past year.
One of these thieves who admitted that
he made a practice of entering sum.
mer cottages had sixty keys, some of
them skeletons, ON his person when ar

ond birthday today, is one of the few
surviving general officers of the Union
army. He is native of Illinois and
Il graduate of West Point During his

months supervising the construction of

To Autoists
(Northfeld (Mass.1 Press

NNoTtHHeiu mass. -PreSS.)
Here S a suggestion to YOU who run
automobiles. When you are proceeding
along the road and have an extra seat
in your car why don t you give lift
to some weary pedestrians There are
few autoists in town who always do
this. That excellent practice adopted
IN wartime of giving service men a
lift might well be continued and ex-
tended to all pedestrians. These are
the sort of kindly, thoughtful acts
which add so much to the worlds hap
piness.
