JUST GOT OVER A COLD7

Look out for kidney troubles and
backache. Colds overtax the kidneys
and often leave them weak. For weak
kidneys-well read what a faithful

years ago caught cold from exposure
and it settled in my kidneys and made
my back lame and sore. could
hardly hend over and when I did 80,
my back panied terribly. felt tired
and languid. and my nerves were in
awful shape. At times ! would be
dizzy and my sight would blur. Nights
the kidney secretions would pass too
often, although they were scanty and

THE TENDENCY TOWARDS
SMALLER FARMS

and more intensive farming is report
ed in eighty-one counties in the State.
The cause of this situation is the
scarcity of farm labor, and the con-
sequence is smaller farms and great
er individual effort by the farmer
himself.
Realizing therefore the vital neces-
sity for time-saving somewhere or
somehow, the farmer is beginning to
see that this problem is solved by the
Improvement of highways which will
enable him to do more hauling in less
time.
1t is reported that seventy-eight
counties are improving their high
ways, and all but seven counties re-
port public opinion favorable to the
construction and maintenance of
public thoroughfares by methods of
taxation.
Just another step and the farmer
adopts the time-saving element of
motor truck transportation in place
of team hauling.
Further economy is gained by US
ing truck that is equipped with
portable power to operate any kind
Of belt-driven machinery to grind
feed, saw wood, light the farm, etc.
The fact that the Indiana Farm
Truck is built to fill these special
farm uses accounts for its great pop
ularity in all farming sections.
This Indiana Farm Truck, more
than any other piece of machinery
overcomes the shortage of farm lab
or.

Statesville, N. c., handles this truck

to the president with the compli- ments of the American people-but he can enjoy them only for eight years, two terms.
 In addition to these things paid for by the people, the new president falls heir to many courtesies, such as:
 A private room in the railway station at the national capitol.
 A private box at the theatre, es- pecially decorated in his honor.
 A special reserve pew in what ever church he prefers.
 Membership in the most exclusive clubs.
 Idealizing reproduction of his fea- lures by portrait painters and sculp- tors.
 Services by dentists, tailors, etc., as much as he may be willing to ac- cept.
 Gifts of all sorts-books, jewelry, prize turkeys and hogs and pump kins, bed quilts and what not.
 There is nothing niggardly about the appropriation made by Congress for the upkeep and maintenance of the White House, including furnish ing, repairs, heat and, in fact, every thing except what the presidents s family eats. By virtue of his being commander-in-chie of the army and navy he can get his larder filled at the army and navy commissary, talk ing advantage of the reduced prices. Then, too, he is generally the target for expert cooks who send in pies and cakes, and of proud growers who send in fresh killed livestock and poultry or fancy cured hams.
 Guarded By Secret Service
 The white furnishing are usually repaired or renewed every four years. The linen is specially made, with the United States coat-ofarms woven into the texture of the goods. The china and glassware also have the United States seal. It takes ten dozen of everything to properly set the White House table for a formal dinner. Practically all of the furniture and draperies have been especially made.
 The president is not restricted in the number of automobiles. They are paid for from the White House maintenance fund. President Wilson has had four big touring cars and an electric for the women members of his family. Usually there is an arrangement made with one of the leading manufacturers to keep the

 Whenever the president goes out driving he is attended by secret ser vice men and by policement out riders on motorcycles. There is a force of twelve secret service men on the alert night and day to pro- tect the president. A 24-hour vigil is also kept by a special detail of about fifty policemen about the ex- ecutive mansion and grounds. The use of secret service men at the White House began after the assass- ination of President Mckinley. The Social Secretary Since the White House is the SO cial center of the United States one of the most important attaches of the administration is the social sec retary of the first lady of the land This is no sinecure. The social sec retary has a position of serious re- sponsibility.

CURRENT COMMENT
Brattleboro's Football Schedule.

Having come cropper with the only
Vermont team which it played this
season, the Brattleboro high school
football team may be expected to turn
its attention toward Vermont sched-
ule another year, or at least toward
fair percentage of Vermont games.
By the decisive defeat inflicted on
Brattlehoro Saturday. the Rutland
high school team demonstrated that
there is at least one Vermont team
worthy of Brattleboro's steel and
further north there are feelings that
there is more than one Vermont team
that would keep Brattleboro decidedly
busy in little game of give and take
on the gridiron. Barre Times.
Brattleboro high schools football
team has no apology to offer for its
defeat by Rutland last Saturday. 1t
is not true, however, as The Times
seems to infer that the local school
football management has been back
ward about meeting any Vermont
team Financial as we'll as geographic
considerations make it necessary for
Brattleboro TO play its early season
games with nearby teams, and the ma
iority of these are outside the state,
but there has never been time when
the local school was not ready to take
on Vermont opponent to settle a
definite issue. Both Barre and st. Al
bans were offered games with Brattle

cepted Reformer.

HOLD YOUR DEPOSIT BOOKS.

While not speaking authoritatively
on the subject, The Times would like
to suggest TO any persons having de-
posits in the Barre Savings Bank &
Trust Co. that they refrain from dis.
posing of their deposit books at sharp
discounts. It has come to our atten-
ton that few people, impatient at
the necessary delay in investigating
the accounts of the closed institution,
or fearful lest the final accounting
shall be greatly To their own disad
vantage, have disposed of their deposit
books at a discount which means
great sacrifice on their savings. II
is probable that the fears Of some of
the more timid depostors may be
worked upon by the INSCRIPTIONS to
such an extent that the deposit books
will be purchased at very low figure,
figure entirely out of proportion to
the usual returns to depositors in
cases of closed banks. All the depos
itors should guard against the un
scrupulous and the people who are
looking to drive a sharp trade; and
the only way to guard against them
is to retain your deposit books and ;
await the findings of the receiver.
As stated at the outset, The Times
does not speak authroitatively but it
does believe that the depositors each
and every one of them-will find it TO
their advantage TO retain their equity
in their deposits instead of disposing
Of their books at any such rate of
discount as the speculstor is willing
TO take a chance on. Naturally enough,
he SPECTATOR proposes to make mon
~ on the deal; therefore, he will offer !
l price considerably lower than that
which he thinks will eventually come
Jack to the holder of the deposit book ,
The present holders of deposit books !
nay take ii for granted that the price {
he SPECTATOR offers them is low. Hay-
ng such belief, The Times considers a
hat it would be advantageous for de 5
,ositors TO hold their books. G
