Former New England Woman
Making Home in California

From her home at 272S East Colorado
street, Lamanda Park, California, Mrs.
E. \. Leonard, who has many friends
throughout New England writes an in
teresting letter regarding her experiences
dozen bottles of Mysterious Pain Ease,
so-called and says Il have used it in
the East and | feel / cannot be without
it. l have a friend who has a lame
knee. l put some Mysterious Pain Ease
on it two or three times. She was so
much better from this that we want
plenty of Mysterious Pain Ease on hand.
1t is the most valuable hniment / ever
used
This Mysterious Pain Ease mentioned
in Mrs. Leonard's letter is a Scotch Lin
iment. 1t acts in such way that it
relieves Inflammation which causes pain.
In fact when they first started to use it.
it's effects were so quick in the relief Of
pain that people really thought there
was something mysterious about it.
Hence its name, given it by the thous-
ands of people whose pains it has re-
lieved.
Many people, both men and women,
in all walks of life, heartily endorse it.
They recommend it for pains of neural
gia. neuritis, sciatica, muscle cramps,
chilblains, and pains arising from in
Examinations, rheumatism, sprains of all
kinds, lumbago, burns, stiff neck, and
muscular colds where the shoulders,
chest and back muscles are In pain.
Mysterious Pain Ease is sold by most
leading druggists. Any druggist can OBJ
tain it from his jobber.-Adv.

ond it will be possible for ambitious
people to take two of them during the
winter.
Students should be at least IS years
old but they can be 10. The fees are
nominal and the entire expenses of a
twO-weeks' course. fees, board and car
fare, viii ordinarily not run more than
$50 or $40. The cost is negligible, Op-
pOrtunity considered.
In its prospectus, the L. Y. NJ. states
that the courses offer an opportunity
for men and women unable to spend a
longer time in school to become better
acquainted with modern agricultural
science and practice. As a result. they
are enabled to do better work on a farm
or in the dairy and prepared for better
and more profitable positions"
1t is doubtful if the latter is the i'm
portant purpose after all. As The Her
aid sees it, the real value of these short
courses lies in the incentive they offer
young people to know up-to-date farm
ing methods and. knowing farming as a
sound business, to remain on the farm.
These are business courses, not acad-
emic. and rigid entrance requirements
are not a barrier. Applicants however.

Vermont Banks Sound.
bennington Banner. J

The closing of the Barre Savings
Bank and Trust company is au incident
that should chiefly serve to call attention
to the general strength and reliability
of Vermont banks in general. This is,
we believe, the first Vermont bank to
close its doors in nearly twenty-five
years. For practically q quarter of
century not a single depOsit0r has lost
his money through placing it in a Yer
mont bank. And there is every reason
to expect that the depositors in the Barre
bank Will get their money all right.
While no announcements have been
made, it is probable that the closing of
the bank is due to the failure of Barre
manufacturers and business men to pay
their notes when due Barrc's granite
business was hard hit by the war. Mon
Umen'al granite was not q war essential
and the granite business largely stopped.
The town lost in population and other
local interests were affected. Then after
the war the granite business was para
lyzed by a long strike. Notes and inter
est probably remained unpaid. Barre
is comparatively new town and has no
reserve capital as have the other larger
towns Of Vermont. Practically all of
its business is done on borrowed capital. |
Barre will pull through this little diff |
Guilty. The deDositors viii get their
money but it will serve doubtless to i'm |
press the fact that banking must be a |
business of extreme conservatism to be |
permanently successful

1t is not too early for the enterpris-

to be giving some thought to the annual
special winter short courses in agricul-
