Keep Looking Young

Nobody wants to grow old looking
any faster than they can help; some
look old at forty, while others don't
begin to show their age at seventy
Everybody knows that to keep
young looking you have first got to be
blessed with good health, and second to
do as little worrying as possible. Most
of the ills that the flesh is heir TO are
caused by dsordered stomach, liver
or kidneys. These can be regulated
and kept in good condition by taking
SEVEN Banks, natures great remedy
of roots and herbs.
Digestive troubles also spoil beauty,
rob you of sleep, make dark rings
around the eyes and ruins the com
plexion. Let SEVEN BARKS digest
your food and tone up your stomach,
then you may eat what you like;
bright eyes will soon return, and YOU
win feel fit for your daily duties.
Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
II you keep these organs cleansed and
IN proper working order, old age can
be deferred and life prolonged beyond
the average age. No better remedy
can be found than SEVEN BARKS TO
keep the stomach, liver and kidneys in
good order, thus assuring you good
health
Old fashioned natures remedies are
the best, so don't fail TO keep a bottle
Of SEVEN BARKS on hand. Get It at
your druggists. Price. 90 cents-Adv

Ratification Issue Goes to
Next Week Because
of Adjournment
LOWER BRANCH STILL
AGAINST SUFFRAGE
Suffrage Advocates Threat
en- to Turn Guns on
Vermont Again

Dover, Del, March 27.-The Delaware
legislature was in adjournment unit
next Monday, but to-day saw little lei
up in the struggle for and against rati.
fication of the woman suffrage consti.
tutional amendment. Workers on both
sides continued campaigning in prepare
tion for the vote expected next Tues
day or Wednesday.
Throughout Delaware to-day cham
pions wearing the yellow and purple
colors of the suffragists and the red
roses of the opposition were engaged
with special pressure on members of
the lower legislative branch, which so
far has maintained a majority against
ratification.
Suffrage advocates declared that
should Delaware refuse to be the seth
state needed for ratification of the
proposed constitutional amendment,
they win turn their attention TO four
other states-Connecticut, Vermont,
North Carolina and Louisiana. SUI
frage organizations now have repre-.
sentatiyes at work in all four.

PUCILIST CARPENTER
A BEAU BRUMlHEL

New York, March 27.-Callers on
NJ and Nine. Georges Carpenter are
convinced to-day that the French cham
pion is prize fighter de luxe. Their
hower-flled, sumptuously furnished,
six rooms constitute the best suite in
one of the city's newest and best ho-

ct, maid, secretary, manager and
trainer and 30 trunks.
In addition to natural Apollo-like
gifts Carpenter is enabled to be a

One hundred silk shirts Of various
hues, stripes and dots with collars to

Twenty overcoats, three fur coats
and one fur robe.

Seventy five pairs of shoes.

The wardrobe has been found to be
insufficient for American purposes and
Carpenter is rapidly increasing it by

Make Many Gardens.

Among the periodical 'seares" dis
pensed by this or that agency, one
always with us is the fear of a food
shortage. Calamity James and Short
age Simeons get hold of a few crop
reports or milling statistics and can at
ways build an article thereon which
will prove beyond peradventure that
1920. in addition to seeing the peak
Of high prices will develop into a short
age Of cereals, meats or sugar.
We have now with us the garden
sass-shortage Mar, who says that market
gardeners are curtailing their output
for various reasons and the advice is
to "raise your own" The advice is
good, even if it may be founded ON
calamity information
We shall probably never get over
our war garden stunts. Not only we're
we taught how to produce very ac-
ceptable quantity of green garden prod
uce for immediate consumption, but
those with larger areas found they
could easily and profit ably raise po-
tatoes, beans, beets, carrots, onions,
cabbages. etc. for winter consumption
but their product when summer-canned,
ran into dollars and cents OF a1ing
very fast.
The great problem of the food pro-
Queer this year Is labor, ~help," as we
very properly term it here in Yer
mont. The dairy farmer and the truck
farmer are going to be short-handed
this summer They may very easily
be compelled to cut down production
at some point. quite likely in the way
of garden truck The moral and warn
ing is so plain that he who runs may
read: Make more gardens. Raise your
own, Keep up food production on a
war scale in the interest of cutting
the II. c. Of L.
A most excellent and beneficial sys.
tenn OF school gardens has been inaugu-
rated in Rutland. II is good for the
children, good for the city TO have its
idle lands cultivated and good for the
II. c. of L. 20 have some food produced
without the costly element Of adult la
Dor involved.
What's good for the children in this
respect j. good for the grownups. A
home garden is combination OF health
factory and food factory that helps
the household budget two ways by
a certain amount OF timely,
toothsome food and large amount Of

A resolve to make more gardens in
Rutland will add considerably 10 the

GUARD AGAINST
THE FLU
Serious Outbreaks of Influenza
all over North America
GOOD HEALTH IS THE
SUREST SAFEGUARD
"FRUIT.A-TIVES" Brings Vigor and
Vitality and Thus Protects
Against Disease

There can be no doubt that the
situation regarding the spread OF
Influenza throughout the country is
one of grave concern. Itisqnite true
that the number of cases does not
constitute an epidemlcsuch as caused
the suffering and sorrow during tho
terrible days of 1918. Yet there il
no Disgusting the fact that everyone
should be on their guard against the
disease.
In one city alone, from January
Goth to February 2lst, three thousand,
one hundred and twenty-five cases of
Influenza and 1879 deaths from tho
disease were reported to the Health
Department.
If the outbreak had come at the
beginning of the winter instead of
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease.- But
coming as it has, at the end of the
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur. For spring,
with its slush and rain under foot,
its dampness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is prolific source of
coughs and colds, pleurisy and
pneumonia.
The best protection, in fact, tho
only safeguard against the Flu, is,
GOOD HEALTH.
Those who are NOT as well and
strong as they should be those who
are underweight those who are
rundown" through overwork or
sickness should build up at once.
What they need Is a Blood-purifer,
a body-builder, a strength-giver, like
"Fruit-a-tives", the wonderful fruit
medicine.
"Fruit. a : tives" regulates the
kidneys and bowels, causing these
organs to eliminate waste regularly
and naturally as nature intended.
'Fruit-a-tives" keeps the skin active,
and inSures an abundant supply of
pure, rich blood. "Fruit q lives"
tones up and strengthens the organs
of digestion, sharpens Che appetite,
brings restful sleep and renews the
of the nervous system.
"Fruit-a-tives" contains everything
that an ideal tonic should have; TO
purify the blood, to build up strength
and vigor, and to regulate the
eliminating organs, so that the whole
system would be in the best possible
condition to resist disease.
Now is the time to build up your
health and strength, not only as a
precaution against the ravages of
n ndnss . but also 1 to protest seS you 6

USING FIRELESS COOKERS
About 1000 Have Been Made in the
State of Vermont.

About 1000 fireless cookers have
been made in the state of Vermont.
Five hundred cookers were made in
Addison county, 1873 in Chittenden
county and rs in Rutland county. This
means that in a thousand Vermont
homes, food is prepared with less time
and fuel than was done before the Yer
mont extension service and the county
farm bureaus began their work.
Mrs. Mary H. Rawson of Addison
county made a freless cooker in about
two hours after the materials were
ready. Besides using it for preparing
the meals at home, she sends hot din
ners to the men who leave at o'clock
in the morning to work in the woods
or fields. One noon she sent potatoes,
canned beef with gravy and suecotash.
Another day she sent canned chicken,
potatoes, corn cooked in cream and hot
biscuits. Next summer Mrs. Rawson
plans to use the kettle with three parts
and send lemonade in one, cold water
in another and ice in the third. This
will make it possible for the men to
have good cold drinks in the hay field.
Mrs. f. A. Phelps of Brattleboro
says: Even in winter a pot roast,
brown bread, beans and the like find
their way to the freless and at serving
time are all there and done TO a turn.
We feel that the cooker was more than
paid for in one season in time and fuel
saved, adding another necessary con-
venience on the farm"
Cost of Horne-Mad Cookers.
Mrs. Richardson of Williamsville,
Windham county, made a cooker for
1855. She purchased galvanized nest
lining for rs cents, a four-quart enam-
eled cooking vessel 81, two radiators
30 cents, cloth for cushion 30 cents and
handles 80 cents Mrs. Richardson had
on hand lard tub, sawdust, asbestos,
clasp, sandpaper and varnish.
Perhaps there are other women who
would ike to make their homework
easier during the hot summer months
and it is none too early to
begin to make the cookers. A variety
IF materials and utensils may be used.

SPRING AILMENTS
Relieved by well-Known Medicine of
Superlative Merit

Spring ailments are due to impure,

Among them are pimples, boils and
other eruptions, loss of appetite, that
tired feeling, run down condition of
the system, and sometimes chronic
weaknesses made worse.
Hoods Sarsaparilla combines the
roots, banks, herbs, berries and other
medicinals that have been found, in
many years of intelligent observation,
to be most effective in treatment of
these ailments.
Successful physicians prescribe these
ingredients for diseases of the blood,
stomach, liver and kidneys, and in
cases where Alternative and tonic eff.
fects are needed.
