Stage All Set
For County Fair

Continued from page one)
(! the track so soon after crossing
, the wire as in former years. This
will be great Improvement which
the drivers will be the first to
appreciate.
The $4,000 grand stand, which
has previously been described in
these columns, is as substantial
and convenient as any in New
England. With its row of box
seats in front, reserved seats in
the middle and 1000 other seats
on the structure there isn't place
in the stand that does not furnish
splendid view of the track.
The new judges stand will be
used for the officials of the races
only and is a very attractive and
useful adjunct to the new equip
ment. A new brass bell, made at
the Lyndonville brass shops, will
be hung this week and when it
rings up for the first race Tuesday
there will be something worth
seeing.
The two busiest men in forty
counties today was Secretary Fred
S. Hartman and Ralph Sherry
The assigning of all the fair at
traction is big job and added to
this is the final conditioning Of
the grounds which comes under
Mr.. Harriman's direction. How
ever, everything was running
smoothly and the fair will open
on Tuesday all orderly arranged
to give the big crowds a real show.
Mr.. Sherry had his hands full al
loting the spaces to the fakirs and
C2ling for the newly arrived eX-
hih:tOrs.
The fair has so many and varied
attractions that it would take
columns of space to explain it all.
Among the many features will be
two bands-St. Gabriel's Boys
band and the st. Johnsbury band
in attendance daily; racing by a
stable of Kentucky saddle horses
IN addition to the big regular rae
ing program; Radio concert daily
by the largest radio outfit brought
to Vermont; Grange day with the
flying stunts by Walter Cleveland,
the flying ace, etc, etc.

Science Discovers That Vitdmires

"FRUIT-A-TIVES" the wonderful
Fruit Medicine is Rich in Health Giving
Vitamines

Thousands OF Lien and women are
falling off in health and vigor because
the food they eat is lacking in one
element, without which they cannot
keep fit. This element is Nitamine.
Ordinary meatSand fish donot contain
it. Milk is not rich in it. Manufac,
tured foods have the Nitamincs
destroyed in the process of manufac
ture. Some fruit juices are rich in
Vitamines. A careful examination of
experiments conducted by both
British and American authorities
shows that Oranges contain an abun-
dance of both "B" and &C" Vita
mines and Apples contain relatively
large ofthese vital substances.
Why is it that -tives "gives
such marvellous resultsin overcoming
Constipation, Impure Blood, Starved
Nerves and a rundown system?
Because "Fruit-a -tives" is a true
fruit medicine-the only medicine in
the world made from intensified fruit
juices "Fruit-a-tives" is rich in the
"B" and &C" Vitamines, derived
from the juices Of oranges and apples.
To take Fruit-a- tives" regularly,
is to supply the system with the Vita
mines which are needed and which are
absolutely necessary to health.
