MARY (RICE) FOSTER

Mary Rice was born in Halifax, N.
S., October 22d, 1883, and her early
life was spent there and in Canada.
She came to Newark when a young
woman and worked in the family of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. 0. Sleeper. In Oc-
tober, 1905, she married Charles Eos
ter, and they went to Montpelier
where they remained about one year.
Later they returned to Newark and
bought the Foster farm, where they
lived until year ago, when they
purchased their present home in
West Burke. Two children, Marjorie
and Archie, were added to the family
circle during the passing years. Mrs.
Foster was devoted wife and moth
er, and her failing health was a
great source of unhappiness to them
all. She has been great worker,
when her health would permit, but
was finally forced to have an opera
ton, which seemed at the time to
have been very successful. Her con-
dition was such, however, that she
could not rally, and she passed away
Tuesday, April 18th. The remains
were brought here Wednesday after
noon, and the funeral occurred at the
Catholic church in Lyndonville Fri
day morning.
Besides her immediate family she
leaves an aged mother, whose home
has been with her for sometime. and
one brother, John Rice, of Lyndon
The sorrowing family have the deer
sympathy of the whole community.
Mrs. w. HI. Gould and children
have been spending the past week
with relatives in Montpelier.

DON'T DELAY
Some Barton People Have Learned
That Neglect is Dangerous.

The slightest symptom of kidney
trouble is far too serious to be over
looked. It's the small, neglected
troubles that so often lead to serious
kidney ailments. The pain in the
"small' of your back; that urinary ir-
regularity; those headaches and dizzy
spells; that weak, weary, worn-out
feeling, may be natures warning of
kidney weakness. Why risk your
life by neglecting these symptoms :?
Reach the cause of the trouble while
there yet is time-begin treating
your kidneys at once with tried and
proven kidney remedy. No need to
experiment - Doan's Kidney Pills
have been successfully used in thou
sands of cases of kidney trouble for
over so years. Doan's Kidney Pills
are used and recommended through
out the civilized world. Convincing
testimony follows:
Mrs. Abbie Lockwood, Lowell, VT,
says: "Last winter my kidneys trou-
bled me. On a friends advice I US
ed Doan's Kidney Pills and they
gave me satisfactory relief. Since
then, they have corrected any back
ache or dizzy spells, which I have
had"
Price 60 cents, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Lockwood had. Foster-Milburn

PRISON LOOKED GOOD TO HIM
Burglars Narrowing Experience Sure
iy Calculated to Touch Even the
Hardest Heart

The burglar climbed through the
open window, entered the drawing
room, and hid behind a curtain.
Hardly had he concealed himself be-
fore the youngest daughter of the
house had a piano lesson. An hour
later-af six o'clock, to be precise
her little brother had long and spir-
tied tussle with a shrilly protesting
violin.
At seven o'clock the elder girl had
an hours singing lesson, and at eight
o'clock the elder boy began practising,
but with Indifferent success, a particu-
larly maddening little trill on the
flute.
At nine o'clock they all assembled,
and played and sang In what they
fondly, but enormously, imagined to
be harmony.
1t was then that the burglar rushed
forth, threw himself PROSTATE on the
floor, and begged to be arrested and
lodged in a place OIL safety
