Dangers in Food Supplies.

A lecturer on cooking the other day
made the surprising statement that the
asylums are being filled with country
people in much greater proportions than
city people, mainly because they were
more careless in regard to their food.
While diet of fat meats may be more
characteristic OF people living in rural
districts, there are other dangers just as in
sidious to which the residents of the big
cities are subject. Scent ic research is
every day emphasizing the fact that man
is what he eats.
Probably there have been no more ac-
tive advocates of pure food than the
manufacturers OF Royal Baking Powder
The vigorous campaign against adulter-
ations carried on by them was no doubt
due in large part to the fact that in
scarcely any other division of food sup
plies are harm uiingredlents used lavishly
as in the compromising of baking pow
ders. The absolute purity of the Royal
has become in the nature OF an axiom
and its proprietors are naturally disposed
to spread broadcast the doctrine OF pure
food 1t has been claimed, without con-
tradction, that no other article OF human
food has ever received so many emphatic
endorsements from the highest authori-
ties Journal of Health.

State Reports.

The report of Fred G. Field, state in
spector OF finance, is full of interesting
statistics and shows that our savings
banks have been In strong condition
through the so-called hard times. During
the two years past the deposits have
increased 81 203 ,SS742 and the depos-
itors have increased 10,O42. The aggre-
gate deposits of the savings institutions
is $32,l7 ,742S9 and the number of
depositors is 1O3,2S1. The inspector
says he is convinced that the time has
come when our savings banks should be
limited to four per cent dividends, and
that some banks are paying Az which
can hardly afford to. He also recon-
mends that the salary of the inspector
be paid by the state instead of by the
banks.

following comment upon the report:

public spirited MAINLAND OF Sally Bugbee,
also Of Hardwlck, his wifc,-a woman
rather lrail in body but of much quiet
determination and executive ability. The
oldest daughter being an invalid, the
second became, somewhat earlier than
she otherwise might, her mothers help
and reliance. She lived at home until
her marriage TO Mr.. Dana on Feb. IA,
1S+S, with the exception Of few terms
of teaching in Hardwick and neighbor-
ing towns and year or two at the
academy in Danville, presided over by
Prof. Burnham, Ca well-known educator
and author OF an arithmetic still remem-
bered by elderly people,, where she met
her future husband, then a lawyer Of the
town and perhaps already Judge of pro-
bate for this district. At any rate, Mr..
Dana continued to be judge Of probate
from his first election until 1856, when
the county seat was removed to st.
Johnsbury, upon which removal he
became county clerk and SO remained,
with residence in st. .Jobnsbury, until
his appointment as internal revenue col
lector in 1864. The family kept their
residence in this town even after that
Except from 1877 to 1881, when they
lived at Montpelier,) until Judge Dana
ceased to be collector in 1882 and
removed to Kansas City, where the son,
|. p Dana, was about to begin the prac.
tice Of law.
Always strong supporters OF the
church and active in its interest, first as
attendants at the North Congregational
and later as organizers and members of
st. Andrews Episcopal, prominent in
social life and all public and charitable
and especially efficient and
patriotic in the trying days of the civil
war, no people were better known or
more highly respected in this community
than the Danas.
Judge Dana was largely aided by his
wife in all his aims and labors. She had
that rare mingling of strength and
sweetness of a masculine understanding
with Iady's grace and charm, which
marks the best type of New England
womanhoood.
Oh her six sisters only three survive:
Miss Celia Sinclair OF Boston and Miss
L. NJ, Sinclair and Mrs. D. D. Patterson
OF st. Johnsbury.
Besides the son already mentioned, a
prominent lawyer OF his city, whose
business Lille has been largely devoted to
the service of large corporate interests,
there remain two daughters, Sarah and
Abby, both well remembered here, the
former wife OF Mr.. Chester LOOMS,
artist, OF Englewood, N. J., and the latter
wife OF John LOOMS, part owner and
OF an extensive ranch at Paint
Rock, Texas. Each daughter has two
children. Mr.. Dana is unmarried. His
home has always been with his mother,
a fact which makes her death a peculiar
loss to him. S.

$50, ITO, 742 in the savings institutions,
$11 ,0S5, 427 is invested in western mort
cages, against $10,559 239 last year,
and $9,7206l0 in 1894. There was a
slight decline in these investments be-
tween 1893 and 1894, but with that
exception the amount has increased
every year in the past ten. Fourteen of
the % savings banks paid dividends the
past year at 4 per cent, one Az and
seven 412-the average not being much
above that of the Massachusetts savings
banks, which are more closely restricted
in the matter OF investments. Total
deposits increased $l,767, AIS the past
year and $+,203,SS7 for the past two
years. 1t is noticeable that investments

Fine Winter Apples.-For thirty con-

Fine Winter Apples.-For thirty con-
secutive years the grocery store Of E. & T.
Fairbanks & Co has made a speciality Of
handling winter apples and this year
they round out three decades with the
largest and finest consignment they have
ever received. During the past week
$500 barrels have been received and
stored in the capacious cellar at the
grocery store. All the apples come from
the Champain islands where the fruit
ripens later than in any other place in
the United States. Previous to 1888
Manager Spencer used to buy the
apples in Michigan, but Vermont leads
the world in winter apples and the best
is none too good for the Fairbanks store.
A most unique and interesting exhibit OF
this fruit has been arranged at the
grocery store and many have gone
especially to see il. In large glass case
all the standard varieties are on exhibit
ton and three barrels of apples are
attractively arranged on shelves in the
form OF a pyramid. The demand for this
fruit is not limited to st. Johnsbury, but
extends throughout the whole com
munity, and carload of Greetings has
been sold to one of the largest restaur-
ants in Boston. AS every one knows,
apples are quite plenty this year and on
that account the price is lower than ever
before. They are sold from $150 to
1925 a barrel, according to the size and
quality, and at this price they will find a
very ready sale.
