Are you bothered with too frequent action of the kidneys? Are the se cretions highly colored do they con tain sediment burn and scald in voiding? These are all signs of kid ney sickness and should not be ne glected. Barton people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches and your kidneys are weak you will find no better recommended rem edy. A. E. Brunning, Park St., Barton, says, "I had been troubled more or less with kidney complaint ever since I was a small child. I had little con trol over the action of my kidneys, They acted too freely, causing me an noyance and making it very disagree able. Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and I tried them. Three boxes procured from the E. W. Barron Co., were enough to re lieve me and I certainly praise them for the good they have done me. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brunning had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. USE FOOD SITUATION GRAVE. Government Issuing New "Home Cards." Europe's Crops Small. The federal food administration is about to issue a new Home Card with many important directions additional to those contained in the first Home Card, which was distributed at the time of the pledge card campaign, a few weeks ago. A definite program of wheatless and meatless days is provided. The food situation in Europe is very grave, even graver than it was thought to be at first. The harvest of our Allies has proven less than had been expected and submarine ac tivity has for the present prevented them access to more remote mar kets. Food has taken a dominant posi tion in the war and the American people must now be asked to sacri fice far more than was at first thought necessary. Carrying our Al lies depends in large measures on the actual savings of food in America. The public should be impressed with j the truth of the statement that every grain of wheat or its products that the Allies receive from the United States from now on will be exactly the amount which our people have saved each month on their behalf. Every particle of diminished con sumption by the American people is I one particle more for the soldiers, men, women and children of our Al lies and for the starving people in other countries. The new Home Card says that "conservation is a personal obligation of every one of us toward some indi vidual abroad, who will suffer priva tion to the extent of our own individ ual negligence." That the American people may be able to perform their duty to their Allies, the food administration, aside from the general directions contained in the original Home Card, which it asks housewives to re-read, asks everyone to maintain rigidly a mini mum of at least: One wheatless day each week and one wheatless meal each day: The wheatless day to be- Wednesday. By wheatless is meant to eat no wheat products. One meatless day each week, which shall be Tuesday and one meatless meal each day. By meatless is meant to eat no red meat beef, pork mutton, veal, lamb, no preserved meat, beef, bacon, ham or lard. One porkless day each week in ad dition to Tuesday, which shall be Saturday. By porkless is meant no fresh or salted pork, bacon, lard or ham. Sugar: Reduction of sugar con sumption can be materially effected by reducing the use of candy and sweet drinks. The food administra tion will make every endeavor to see that the country is provided with a supply of household sugar on the ba sis of three pounds of sugar for each person per month and each individu WHEN THE MAIL MAN IS SANTA GLAUS.

It means secu rity for your funds, a valid receipt, economy and convenience in pajTing your bills. Checking Accounts large 3 leansJrust Co or NEWPORT, al is requested to consume no more. The new Home card takes the ban off from the use of table butter. "Do not limit your supplies of milk and table butter but consume it all. Don't waste any. You can reduce the con sumption of fats by reducing pastry and fried foods" is the way the new Home Card states it. The new Home Card pays its re spect to hoarding and says that any person who keeps at home more food stuffs than he customarily keeps in peace times is defeating the food ad ministration; in his selfishness is con tributing to high prices and it points out that such actions multiplied by thousands increase the demands up on our railways for cars when al ready, because of our military de mands, it is with extreme difficulty we can now move the vitally neces sary food to markets. There is much insidious propagan da in the country against conserva tion and increased production. All opposition to these services is direct assistance to the enemy, the card states. GOOD TO HAVE IN THE HOUSE Coughs, colds and lagrippe are prevalent. Colds promptly checked mean saving of time, money and health. Pneumonia and other serious illness may fol low a neglected cold. T. K. Lynch, 100 Spring Ave nue, Dubois, Pa., writes: "For many years we have kept Foley's Honey and Tar in the house and it has saved many dollars in doctor's bills. It is fine for colds." A child's health is too precious to risk giving imitations or substitutes; insist on Foley's. Fred D. Pierce, Barton; G. H. Hunt, Evansville. Governor Asks You to Join. Montpelier, December 15, 1917. To the people of Vermont: During the week of December 17 Vermont is asked to increase her membership in the Red Cross by 25, 000. The Red Cross deserves the fullest support of all the people. It knows no creed, no condition but necessity. In the camps and hospitals of Europe and at home it stands ready to allevi ate suffering. Through its workers in the field it does its work day after day and night after night, in sun shine and in storm. It heals the sick. It comforts the dying. It sends to those at home the last token, the last message. At Halifax it has proved its worth by its work, promptly and efficiently done. Let the people respond to this call as they never have responded before. President Wilson has said, "Our conscience will not let us enjoy the Christmas season if this pledge of support to our cause and the world's weal is left unfulfilled." Let us come forward with our an swer as evidence of the faith that is in us. We must win this war and as we are winning it we must see that the pain and suffering of those who fight for us are soothed; that the no ble men and women, the nurses and surgeons of the Red Cross, receive our whole-hearted support.

Hodgdon dropped dead in ' St. Johnsbury lhursday morning while he was unlocking the doer of his shoe repair shop oi Railroad street.

They are both broth ers of Mrs. Edward Roche of St. Johnsbury. The fuel shortage in St. Johnsbury is serious. The local fuel committee has sent an appeal asking that large houses heated throughout be partial ly closed up, so that the remaining rooms may be kept warm with less coal, or else that such houses be closed entirely and the inmates go to a hotel for the winter. Those having full coal bins have been asked to sell to others when the need is great. The churches have united for the winter in order to save fuel.
