HEALTH OF GOAT INJURED?
German Woman Claimed 1t Was After
Appearance in Circus.

American Headquarters, Coblenz
Germany, Jan. 2l-Claims for damages
to streets, buildings, farms and even
individuals all reputed to have been
done by American soldiers or Ameri'
can equipment of some kind since the
army of occupation reached the Rhine
aggregate something more than 5000
600 marks. Those allowed total APP
proximately 100000 marks. Many
claims are unique and some without
any justification.
A woman who contended that her
facial appearance had been married for
life, owing to cuts caused by flying
glass due to an explosion at an am
munition dump, sent in the modest
claim for $50 marks. 1t was allowed.
Another woman whose husband had
been killed by an American military
policeman who was chasing distribu-
tors of contraband liquor, submitted
a claim to the Americans for 100000
marks, contending that her sole sup
port had been taken from her. The
Americans maintained. that the Ger
man had been killed by the American
soldier who was acting within his
rights in line OF duty. The claim was
disapproved.
Some of the claims are humorous.
Ralph C. Root of Brattleboro, who
borrowed a goat for a circus at its
headquarters. Recently a claim was
filed with the American town major
asking damages on the contention that
the health of the goat had been in
jured This claim was pigeonholed.
Rhineland farmer recently de-
manded five marks for a bean pole
alleged to have been stolen by an Amer
can soldier. An army commission
heard the case and threw out the claim
on the ground there was no evidence
to show that an American had com
mitted the theft.

Grandmother Knew

rugged and well. She believed in ma
lures remedy, the life giving juices of
leaves, roots and herbs, which are unit
ed in SEVEN BARKS and which has
been standard and favorite remedy
for Indigestion, constipation, kidney,
liver and stomach troubles for nearly
80 years.
You cannot be constipated and happy
at the same time If you have bad
taste in the mouth. foul breath, furried
tongue, dull headaches, drowsiness, dis
turbed sleep, mental depression, yellow
ish skin, then you are constipated, and
SEVEN BARKS will quickly relieve
this disorder, which is the result of liv-
er arrangement, and severe digestive
disturbances.
Be prepared for these emergencies !;
always keep SEVEN BARKS on hand,
and take from 10 to 20 drops in little
water after meals, and it will quickly
cause the bowels and liver to act nor
mally.
If you want to get the greatest eff
cheney out of your body, you should
take SEVEN BARKS, so that the
stomach may do its best work, and not
be handicapped by the burdens we
foolishly sometimes put upon it. For

Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert E. ellison OF
North Hartland celebrated their Goth
wedding anniversary Saturday, Jan. 81,
Their children who reside in this yicin-
ity all came home and spent the day
with them, Benjamin II. and wife from
Windsor and Fred +. and Mrs. h. j.
Miller of North Hartland. Two were
unable to be present, Mrs. Persis Paige
of Buffalo, n. Y, and Mrs. Julia Esta-
brook of Lowell, Mass. During the
day they received many fluctuations
and several nice presents. Mr. and
Mrs. Gilson's friends and neighbors
wished to make a large celebration of
the occasion, but they preferred to pass
it quietly with their children.
Mrs Gibson is so years old, yet she
does all her own homework, and if you
want to see the most Immediately
kept house in Hartland, just call on her
any day. Mr.. ellison is 81 and in his
name, Albert E., the ''E.," we guess,
must stand for energy If so, never
name more aptly applied. He not only
carries on his farm, but raises berries
of all kinds and during the summer
months he passes through the village
mornings On his way to market them at
White River junction before the resi-
dents are up.
In the fall and early winter, he is
all over Vermont, buying thousands of
dollars worth of furs. At the present
time he is trying to entice the younger
horsemen to serape a speedway on OF
tauquechee river, SO they can work out
their horses and have some races. In
these days of inefiiciency, when every
one is trying TO work as little as he
can, it revives our hope in our race to
know such people as A. +. ellison and
his wife. Long may they live!
