The Secret of Good Health

When Nature requires assistance, she
will not be slow in conveying to you
an intimation of the fact. Decline of
energy, inability to sleep well, head
ache, billousness, constipation, a gen.
eral sluggishness of mind and BODY and
any sign of digestive unrest" should
impel you to seek the aid of "a reliable
medicine without delay. There is no
better-po surer-no safer-than this
proven remedy.

MANDEIILLE NOTES.

Vaudeville, April 27.-Last Friday
was gala day for Mandeville Wis
itors from all over the parish hocked
to the rally and it seemed that every
body came with the determination
to have good time and they had it.
Meeting and shaking hands with old
friends who had not been seen for
months, perhaps years, made the day
pass pleasantly for SO many Of the
'grownups" who had come, and the
girls and boys could not take time
to rest there was SO much to interest
them here and there, and SO many
good things to eat, dear me-but it's
no use to talk about it, because every
body that came had such a good time
they are wishing Vaudeville will
soon have another Rally Day"

GIRL GOES
OVER DAM
AND LIVES
1S-Year Old Girl Battles
for Life In Rapids at
Bellows Falls

BELLOWS FALLS. July 10
To be carried over the dam across
the Connecticut river here, and
part way through the rush ng
rapids below when the water was
almost at flood height, and yet
save herself after severe injury
was a feat performed here last
night by an 18-yedr-old girl named
Rose Sanders of North Walpoie.
In company with Kate Keardon,
a school friend, she was swimming
just under the Boston G. Maine
bridge and coming too near the
crest of the dam she was caught
by the current and swept over into
the foaming waters and jagged
rocks below. In going over she
struck her head upon a sharp rock
cutting a cash over four inches
long and seriously bruislng d
shoulder and leg, but did not lose
her presence OF mlnd.
Being an expert swimmer ana
held below the surface for some
minutes as she was swept down by
the current in the first rush OF
waters in the beginning of the half
mile of rapids through which there
is no history of any person going
through alive, Except Paul Boyn-
ton in his rubber suit on October
80, 1879 she tried holding her
nose with one hand while swim
ming with the other, but failed in
this. A dozen or more people saw
her go over and rushed to the
banks along the rapids below, the
estimate being that she was out of
sight at least four minutes, when
her head was seen near Long
Rock" 80 to 100 rods below the
dam, to which she succeeded in
swimming with great effort. A
number of men, including a broth
cr, were on the rock and assisted
her from the water in an exhaust
cd condition. An automobile con-
veyed her to a physicians Office,
where her wounds were dressed
and at her home today is able to be
around, although she says she did
not sleep much during the night,
continually living over, in her
thoughts, her experiences while
battling with the current under
water.
