 Hiram U. Neff, ASA East Main Street, says: T have used Deans Kidpell Pills off and on for a number of years for attacks of kidney trouble and rheu- natic pains. The pain settled mostly in my back, across my kidneys and at times could scarcely get around. I could hardly stoop or straighten on account of the pain when I had those attacks. My kidneys also acted ir- regularly and the secretions have been unnatural. at such times, I have bought Deans Kidney Pills at SeTin & Sons Drug Store and they have al- ways removed the pains and regulated my kidneys"

THE SOCIAL CORNER
KIND THOUGHTS BLOSSOM INTO KIND ACTS
PRACTICAL AND HANDY.

Sisters of the Corner: An accident dur ing the time I have been visiting friend had led me to see the danger so many farm-folks incur, through the careless use of lamps and lanterns. While not every farmhouse can be equipped with electric lights, still I am sure. not one cannot afford useful and inexpensive hasblight or two 7 This would help 80 often when it became necessary to go down cellar atonight, to go into the dark yard with the liability of stumbling over stones or other objects, while such a light is much safer than a candle or lamp in searching for things in. deep, dark drawer, closet. tool chest, or barn work shop.
 In case you do not own fashlight. let me advise you to make that your. very first purchase even though you must deny yourself some pleasure or form of luxury you will find it paying for itself in a hundred practical ways.

Dear Social Corner Editor: Boil the fruit with as little water as possible and squeeze in jelly bag. Allow a pound of sugar to pint of juice and boil until it jellies, which is usually in 15 or 20 minutes. Pour in cans or glasses and leave uncovered until cold. If the jelly fails to thicken as much as is desirable when cold, set the glasses in the sun for two or three days, leaving off the covers.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-22

Changes in the newspaper situation
in the new city of Newport on the
northern border of Vermont are taking
place with such rapidity that it
is almost impossible for per-
son not closely associated with
the conditions to keep accurate
information. However. it seems prob
able that the sale by j. H, Houlihan of
a controlling interest in the Express
and Standard to Messrs. Wallace H,
Gilpin and Franz A. Hunt, three weeks
after the purchase of the property by
Mr. Houlihan from D. H. Hildreth,
means a consolidation of the two news
papers of that city inasmuch as Messrs.
Gilpin and Hunt are publishers of the
rival newspaper, the Newport News
This latter paper, weekly publication,
was instituted only short time ago
and was running a pretty race with
Editor Hildr.th of the Express and
Standard when the sudden transfer of
the Express and Standard to Mr.. Houli-
han of Berlin, n. H., was made. With
the consolidation of the two weekly
newspapers, granting that such is the
plan, Editor Gilpin may be expected to
carry out his cherished idea of starting
a daily newspaper in Newport.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-06-22

James Hardness is held up to Europe
as one of Americas best and greatest
Americans. 1t is inconceivable to The
Messenger that the people of Vermont
will neglect to avail themselves of the
service of this man as their governor
for the next two years. Surely the best
is none too good for Vermonters. st.
Adams Messenger.
Granting that Europe considers
James Hartness zone of America best
and greatest Americans" as the con
temporary asserts, it is nevertheless
true that Europe is not acquainted
with all the fine men Vermont pro-
duces, nor is Europe in a position to
know the peculiar needs of Vermont
as regards its chief executive. There
fore, Europe could not reasonably be
expected to pick out the man best suit
ed to become governor of Vermont at
this time. Vermonters themselves are
in better position to select the man
they ought to have for governor. There
are some who may be more adaptable
for the position than Mr.. Hartness, ex-
cellent gentleman tharhe is.
