truth in the reports from Reno con
corning Mrs. Dick.
lhese reports may refer to some

The high cost Of living keeps many
persons snort of change, but that prob
ably was not the reason why Miss
Margaret Wilson, daughter of the

The conductor, P. G. Lynch, was not
aware of the identity of his passenger
until he received personal letter
thanking him for his courtesy

Richie, president of the bus company,
calling his attention to the courtesy
of the conductor Lynchs bus had
stopped at Thrty-fourth Street and
Fifth Avenue, north bound, when de
murc young woman" according to Con-
ductor Lynchs version, proffered him
a coin which he discovered to be a
penny.
Sorry miss, but this wou't do he
said.
The young woman smiled, took the
penny, looked in her purse and the
smile faded when she was unable to
find any more change.
u guess | must get off" she said,
that penny is all | have with me-"
Conductor Lynch told his passenger
20 remain where she was.
~ Will be very glad to advance you
10 cents he said. ~ am sure you
will pay it back.

Abusing Vacation Privileges.
Boston TRANSCRIPT. J


Vermont is a beautiful state in which
to spend vacation. 1t offers many en-
trancing vistas to the eye. The breezes
from it's hills are cool and invigorating.
Its highways and byways, its shady groves
and smiling fields are invitations to life
in the open. Nowhere are summer days
more delightful. There are few if any re-
gions that offer greater facilities for the
rational and really enjoyable vacation.
Thousands of the vacation army visit
the state each year. OF course, among the
thousands there are some who are lack
ing in good sense and proper apprecia-
ton of their opportunities That fact is
borne in upon the mind by reading Of
the attempts of summer visitors to OBJ
tain access to a crowded courtroom in
which sordid tale is being unfolded for
the purpose of convicting a man of muir
der.
It is a pity that worthy folk who are
not able to take vacations cannot have the
privilege which these people abuse.

Try The Bitro-Phosphate Health System

NEW YORK. If you are feeling run. down,
weak nervous, tired-in-the- morning, and gen
orally ailing, these are the symptoms that
should warn yotl to take care of your health,
Four persons in, every ten. are needing more
phosphorus ia their bodies. When you see thin
and fretful people. or those who are anaemic,
pale, frail, oft Respondent or lacking in energy,
you may look for the need of certain elements
that make for a strong constitution.
Some people, after relying upon prepare
tons composed chiefly of salts, quinine, dras
tic drugs, iron, calomel, cod-liver oil, etc,
wonder why they find no benefit. That IS
easily explained by the fact that such persons
need the phosphoric element, which is a most
potent essential to health, and contained in
BITRO-PHOSPHATE, the famous health
preparation. Now obtainable everywhere.
The right thing for Won TO do is make
trial of BITRO-PHOSPHATE beginning at
sonce. It is not patent medicine; the formula
is prescribed by many physicians for the all
ments and weaknesses mentioned above.
With every box of BITRO- PHOSPHATE,
are a few simple health rules and $500 guar

It is sold and recommended by the Brattleboro.
