And Backache Stopped After n shor:
Treatment with FRUIT "A TIVES"

Moretown, Vermont, March 9th 1918.
''I am warranted in having the
strongest faith in 'Fruit-a-tives' after
receiving such wonderful benefits
from them. Foryears, I was a sufferer
with Kidney and Liver Complaints.
My back ached; my liver was
sluggish and my whole system
seemed out Of order.
'Fruit-a-tives' was the only remedy
to help me. They strengthened the
kidneys, made my bowels move
regularly and freed me of all the
distress caused from the kidney
trouble, constipation and Indigestion.
A few weeks treatment with
'Fruit-a-tives' made me feel as if I
had a new lease on life, and I am glad
to make known the great value Of
these Fruit Liver Tablets.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred S Babson of North
Bennington had a startling experience
Thursday night. They were awakened
by slight noise and upon arising found
that a man standing outside a window
was endeavOring to cut away the screen.
Mrs. BabsOn screamed and the man who
wore mask disappeared Some time
during the night the Crawford bakery
near the Rutland station was entered
through a rear window. A few cakes
were taken as were also a number of old
coins left in the cash drawer.

The trust deed drawn by the late Alex
ander Dunnett of st. JOhnsbury, i'll
which he distributed property valued at
$4,000. is to be fought by the widow,
Mrs. Ella Dunnett, according to formal
action taken in bringing a bill in chancery.
1t is probable that the fight will be Of
great Importance in that it will decide
what right a person has to dispose of
his property by deed in life, without dis
tribution to be made after death. 1t is
probable that the case will arouse a great
deal of interest not only because of the
prominence of the late Mr. Dunnett in
legal circles and public life of Vermont
but because of the important issues in
volved.
The office of the internal revenue de
partment at Burlington was notified
Thursday of q seizure of about $1,000
worth of cOntraband liquors at the home
of Lee Chase, whose farm is on the
Canaan road in Canaan. The liquors
in bransacks concealed among the trees
in the woods nearby. Chase, who has
been arrested once before on charge OF
handling liquor illegally, was taken before
Commissioner Clary in Newport and
placed under bonds of 81 900 in default Of
which he was locked up in Newport Jail.
He has been under surveillance for some
time and on Tuesday a member of the gov
eminent force purchased S120 worth of
whiskey from him. it is likely that Chase
will be tried on two charges: Having lille
gal possession of intoxicating liquor and
selling liquor illegally.

sUBsIsT MAINLY ON DATES
Fruit Is the Mainstay Of Life to the
People Of Egypt, Arabia,
and Persia.

East is west so far as the palm IS
concerned, Hawaii. California, Flor
ida, Cuba, Egypt, Palestine, they all
know their palms. OF all varieties
none is so dear to the heart as the
date palm. We all know it's delicious
fruit, but few can conceive the desert
dweller's love for it, for he only can
appreciate its grateful shade in the
sweltcring desert heat. !
The date palm is always a sure sign
of water, for to thrive it must have
this. Rising often to a height of 100
feet, it Is a haven Of refuge to the
parched traveller, who knows that to
dig near 1t is to find water. Then
there is the delicious fruit to be con-
sidered, too. Many Of us know the
date as a luxury-sometimes stuffed
or otherwise, but a considerable part
Of the inhabitants of Egypt, of
Arabia and Persia, subsist almost m
tirely on its fruit. They boast also Of
its medicinal virtues. Then the CAM
els feed upon the date stone. ,
