people killed in Vermont in automo
bile accidents during the past year
There have been over 2100 accidents
reported to Secretary Black. Consid

it might be materially reduced by in
creased care on the part of drivers
and reform by pedestrians who toe
often step into the street without

Automobile Expert Injured


Back on the Job in Twenty Minutes.
Mr.. r E. Beaupre is well known
among the automobile people in Bur
lington, Vt. He Is employed by the
Crystal Confectionery Company, the
largest manufacturing concern in the
state. He met with an accident
whereby his ankle became sprained
and he was very lame indeed. Some
one gave him a bottle Of linment
which was orig. mated by a Scotch
doctor. He applied this liniment In
accordance with directions and in 20
minutes the pain was gone and the
next day he was able to drive the car
a long distance. He said he felt no
more pa n and had no more trouble
with his ankle after applying this lini-
ment
Mr.. Beaupre wrote letter to the
friend who had given him the lini.
ment in which he said, feel very
grateful to you for having directed my
attent,on to that Justly celebrated lini
ment called Mysterious Pain Ease.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY

Judging from reports from druggists

stands the highest for its remarkable
record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Compan-
les, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because kid

those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have

tract which contains more than
few grains OF truth: Spiritually

that about expresses the condition Of
the world after its emotional debauch.
Drunk on the wine of economic fall
lacies, the new day that was to usher
in the glad era OF no work wherein
all men are brothers bring but
headache, Elijahs ravens have quit
the job and befooled and befuddled
mankind is facing the distressing al
tentative of starving or going to

passed and no longer is the fatted
calf being killed for returning prodi-
gals who strut and fume and complain
of the service. People who bought

The wrong viewpoint Too much list

were educated in lop.sided way and
who look with sfayor upon the gen

out by the Almighty. Too much jazz
and too little prayer; a full belly and
an empty head What a sick world
needs just now is an old fashioned re-
ligious revival and a baptism OF
pentecostal fire. A little mere regard
for the sacredness OF contract and

A correspondent of the Free Press
gives some interesting facts as to
wages on Vermont farms a century
and quarter ago The writer says:
II have in my possession History
of Vermont, bound in leather and
pr nted in 1894. Thinking quotation
from it in regard to the wages paid
for farm labor at that time might
prove interesting to your readers just
now, send the following; In agri-
culture, the Iaborer can procure $40 q
year for his work, equal in value to
100 bushels of wheat in the busy
season of the year, the common price
OF days labor is half a dollar; in
winter, not more than half this sum.
OF these wages it will take $40 to
procure comfortable clothing the re-
mainder the laborer is able to reserve
for other purposes. Thus by laboring
for another two or three years, the
laborer becomes independent and
works afterward upon his own land
or flock"
