Rural Carriers Drive
Through Deep Drifts

These are strenuous days for the
rural letter carriers and few realize
the hardships they undergo. The two
carriers that have the routes into
Danville, Dwight Wells and Hartwell
Moore, have found the deepest drifts,
but the back roads to Lyndon and
through Waterford that the other
carriers traverse are also full of
drifts. Mr.. Wells found the drifts
worse this week than at any time
time through the winter and Thurs
day on some of the back roads the
drifts were almost up to the horses
back. Yet Mr.. Wells has only failed
to complete his trip three times this
winter and the other rural carriers
have as good a record. The carriers
that go into Danville have found the
roads in that town in better condition
than in st. Johnsbury and since the
big storm of 10 days ago the Danville
snow roller has made its circuit every
other day.

First of all find out just what causes
your Catarrh- If it was merely a To-
cal irritation and inflammation of the
delicate Innings of the nose, throat and
air passages, then you might reason
ably expect TO be cured by the use of
local remedies. But have you ever
known of one single person TO be
freed from the slavery of Catarrh by
any kind of local treatment?
Why? Simply because you have
overlooked the cause of these symp-
toms, and all of your treatment has
been misdirected. Remove the cause
