Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly. called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the Joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and final
ly compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
Others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. All
druggists have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that they win freely re.
turn the purchase money to all who
state they received no benefit.

of the products sold to the corporation
during the previous year.
Although the method of financing the
organization will not be entirely decided
upon until the new board of directors has
been elected, it is proposed that half of
the capital stock, or $4,000, shall be
fioated among farmers who will then be
members and that this stock will be sold
on basis of approximately $25 per COW
with 20 per cent to be paid in cash. The
remainder of each farmers portion will
be secured by note with the corporation,
which shall be paid off in monthly in
stallments by deductions of approx
mately 10 per cent from the farmers
milk or cream check.
The incorporation meeting has been
set for Saturday evening, May %, at $50
o'clock, in the Farm Bureau office in
Brattleboro. The object of this meeting
will be to revise and adopt the constitu-
tion and bylaws, which are now tenta-
lively drawn up in pamphlet form and
will be distributed by mail to farmers
in the southeastern quarter of Windham
county early the coming week. In addi
ton the members present will elect a
board of nine directors who will have
practically the entire charge of the work
of the organization during the first year.
According to present plans Chairman
+. l.. Parmelee of Putney, head of the
temporary committee, expects to conduct
a farm-to farm canvass through the
other members of this committee during
| the three days previous to the organi2a
tion meeting. The greatest proportion
of dairy farmers in the towns of Gull
ford, Brattleboro, Chesterfield, Dunn
merston, Putney and Westminster al
ready have signified their intentions tc
take part in this marketing organization
and as only stockholders can legally vote
at the incorporation meeting and since
the nine directors elected will have ful
charge of the first years work it is prob
ably true that the canvassers will hav,
pledged practically the entire capita
stock before the meeting
Following is a list of the II charter
signers of the articles of incorporation
who have pledged practically $1,000 o
the capital stock: +. L. Parmelee o

led the list Although only 1S,0Oaacres
were planted in this crop, the average
yield was IS bushels per acre. and with
an average price Of SO, 20 per bushsl the
crop was worth sisT per acre. Sweet
potatoes came seoond, with an aersage
of $4,000 an average yield OF los bush
els per acre, sold az S.lS per bushel,
or an average Of Sl20.I5 per acre. Rice
| yielded an average Of $3.50 per acre,
and peanuts SSlsS per acre.
The states cotton crop was grown
on 2,s5o,000 acres. with an average
yield Of 1874 pounds per acre, and an
average prlca Of 1871 cents per pound
