WOMAN SCHOOL, COMMISSIONER
BADLY INJURED.
BURLINGTON, Vt. Mrs. Alice II.
Moore is one of the most popular ami
widely known women in this section.
Mrs. Moore liail the honor of being the
first woman School Commissioner here
and was elected by a large majority.
When leaving the office of a prominent
physician of this city she sprained her
ankle very badly. The doctor's treatment
did not seem to help her any.
Following is an interesting letter from
Mrs. Moore : "A month ago I sprained
my ankle so badly that I could not take a
step. It was badly swollen and pained
me night and day. A friend induced me
to ue Karnes' Mysterious Pain Ease,
and I applied it freely to the sprained
ankle. The swelling was soon reduced
and the pain vanished. In a week I
could walk as usual. My experience has
convinced me that Mysterious Vain Ease
is a truly wonderful remedy for sprains."
(Signed) Alice B. Moore.
People who use it seem to think there is
nothing in the world like Mysterious
Pain Ease for immediately relieving the
pain of chilblains, muscle cramps, sci
atica, neuritis, neuralgia, muscular colds
where the shoulders, chest and back
muscles are in pain, stiff neck, lumbago,
sprains of all kinds, pain arising any
where from inflammation and rheuma-

HAINES'S WARNING.
It's Dry Law Haines who now explains that bootleg drinks are deadly;
so let's eschew the poisoned brew, and cease to paint things redly. This Dry
Law Haines is taking pains to wain us of our danger; he hates to see the
graveyard ten kill kff the pilgrim Ktranger. The lootleg drinks are made by
ginks who are not moral tlandies. and he is wise to all their ryes their bour
bon?, gins and brandies. Of poisons dire and liquid- lire they are a sinful
medley,; and Brother Haines, lie still maintains that bootleg drinks are deadly.
And Coyirade Haines, a man of brains, should know of what he's speaking,
lie toils among the jug and bung and spigot sadly leaking. He samples rye
and finds it lye, all kinds of booze he handles; lie finds one brew has liquid
glue, put. in by Goths and Vandals. "Oh, jakes and janes," odes Helpful
Haines, "let's all apply the swatter to those who sell this broth of hell that
makes the reason totter. It strikes men blind and wrecks the mind i hat "once
was grand and gaudy; so let us flay the heartless jay who sells this boneynrd
toddy." Thus scaketh Haines; applause he gains from sane and sober
thinkers who've marked the fate that seems to wait for liootleg whiskey
drinkers. . .

This is gospel truth. But it uses the
word "thrift" in its narrower sense as if
it meant saving alone. It doesn't. Thrift
means getting ahead. The really thrifty

"Referring to your report on the last
meeting of the ISellows Falls Woman's
club, to which you - were invited as an
honored guest, calls to my mind a story
which I heard a short time ago of a plum
ber who, after working hard all his life
and not making much progress in busi
ness-or friendship, asked a friend to tejl
him the reason why, W ell, Pat, said tlie
friend. "You lack two. very esential quali
ties, politeness aiid tact.'
"Pat thanked his friend and decided to
profit by his advice. His chance came
soon, for next morning Pat received a call
and on arrival at the house was told there
was a leak in the bathroom. Pat opens
the door of the bath room and finds a
lady in the tub taking a bath. Pat
stopped and backed out, saying, 'Ex
cuse meSir." and losed the door. 'Well,
says Pat to himself, I have learned lay
lesson, 'Excuse me' was politeness and
the 'Sir was the tact."

lesson before you are invited to another

When a Federal Bureau reminds you that
children should not drink coffee or tea
Why not think of your own health?
The Federal .Bureau of Education
includes in its rules to promote health
among the Nation's school children,
the warning that children should not
drink coffee cr tea.'
The reason is well known. Coffee
and tea contain drugs which stimulate
and often over-excite the nerves, and
so upset health.
- The harm is by no means confined
to children, as any doctor can tell you.
If health is valuable to childhood,
it is valuable always. If. harm . to
health should be avoided until bodies
grow up, is it worth taking a chance
with health when bodies have
grown up?
You can have that delicious and
satisfying cereal beverage, Postum,
with any meal, and be safe you, and
the children, too. There's charm with
out harm in Postum.
Postum comes in two forms: Instant
Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by
the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal
(in packages of larger bulk, for those who
prefer to make the drink while the meal is
being prepared) made by boiling for 20
minutes. Sold by all grocers.
The road to health is a
good road for anybody
to follow.
