1t was a seventeenth ride to the
city, and Miss Hetty never missed a
tree or house the whole way. She
was hungry for sights--she had never
known how hungry until she had them.

BACKACHE is DISCoURAGING
But Not So Bad If You Know How
to Reach the Cause

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Middlebury people recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this
case:
Mrs. ]. Wimette, Pleasant St, says:
"a short time ago my back and kid
neys went bad due from heavy lift
ing and hard work. When stopped
over my back was so bad could
hardly straighten. 1t was a dull ache
which felt as though my back would
break. 1 also had dizzy spells and
headaches and my kidneys were If
regular at times. l read about Doan's
Kidney Pills and got a box and they
cured me up in a short time. Now
whenever my back and kidneys are
out of order, always get Doan's Kid
ney Pills. l gladly recommend them"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

where. Drug stores have regular Sun
day hours. Creameries, fruit stores
cigar stands, news stands, etc, are
kept open according to the demand
and in more or less accordance with
local public sentiment, but there is
no serious attempt to enforce the Sun
day laws as they stand except occas-
ionally and in widely separated cases.
The principal controversy RACES
about Sunday baseball, which accord
ing to several court findings, IS for
mallv under the ban of the Sunday
laws, yet there are hundreds of base
ball games played every Sunday in
Vermont and no one undertakes to
stop them unless they become a sub
ject for public comment and demand.
One thing seems certain: The pres
ent Vermont laws in regard to Sunday
observance are not enforced or respect
ed. They ought to be repealed or
amended in a form that will coincide
with public sentiment and secure the
support and respect Of all law-abid-
ing citizens.

TAYLOR AWARDED LETTER
AT RUTLAND HIGH SCHOOL
Middlebury Lad Stars in Football and
Has Made Basketball Squad

Fletcher Taylor. son of Mrs. Arthur
Bessette, was among the l3 football
players of the Rutland High School
team awarded their letter for excel
lence in that sport during the season
recently closed. "Fletch" was one of
the mainstays of the team being relied
upon for the punting particularly. He
contributed his share of touchdowns
too. In one instance he made what
was perhaps one of the most spectacu-
lar scores made in any 1920 football
game. In the Springfield game he had
plunged through to the goal line when
he tripped over a hummock. Falling
on his back he was quite dazed AL
though the signals called before the
play had not indicated his participa-
ton, the quarterback, when the intend
ed formation was broken up by the OPP
position, hurled the ball at Taylor. AL
though stunned by the fall, "Fletch"
was able to discern the ball coming in
his direction. Reaching up from his
prone position he drew down the pig
skin to his chest and held it there while
he lapsed into momentary unconscious
ness from the force of his fall In a
few moments he was up again and
continued through the game.
"Fletch" is one of the likely candi-
dates for a place on the basketball
quintet Of the Rutland school. He re-
turned i'll Sunday to his home and is
confined to his bed with a severe cold
