'.NIr Matthew Young. of this viii
lage, has entirely recovered. He was
afflicted with cancer of the lower lip.
The cancer was removed the 1st of
September by DIR. Uriah Branch. of
ST. Paul, who is a cancer specialist.
DIR. Branch did not use a knife, but
put on a salve which drew out the
cancer. The principal cure was
effected by some internal remedy,
which DIR. Branch says kills the can

in Mr.. Young's case, for he was cured
in 10 DAYS. No scar remains and the
cure is permanent"

The Old Family Horse.

The other day when it was raining
hard | looked out of my window and
observed couple of men going by
driving and leading four of the most
scrawney, decrepit old horses that |
have seen for long time. The four,
all put together could not have drawn
a ton on a level road. They were
nothing bnt skin and bones in the
hands of reckless, unprincipled jock
eyS, that make business Of swapping
old horses. l felt sorry for these
faithful old horses and wished that
there was some means of compelling
owners to either take good care of
aged animals or kill them--put them
out of existence. How many people
are there who will work horse as
long as he is able to stand up and
pull, and when through old age or in
trinity, he can no longer perform hard
labor, they trade him off to some
Jockey. If horses wrote books or pub
lshed newspapers they would doubt
less tell us many sad story of cruelty
and starvation. BY all means take
care of the old horse for the good he
has done in earlier years.

The state inspector of finance has
just issued his report covering the ifs
cal year ending June 80. 1899. The
exhibit is one of which Vermont has
no reason to be ashamed and shows
that she has shared in the general
prosperity of her sister states. Not
wthstanding that the rate of interest
allowed depositors in the saving banks
and trust companies has been largely
reduced, the aggregate of the deposits
has increased So, ,027.96. There
has been gain of 1885 in the number
of depositOrs which has now reached
1850 or ratio of one in every three
of the population of the state. The
average amount to the credit of each
depositor is $322.l9 an increase of
$500 in the past year. Depesitors to
the number of 1929 have each more
than $500 in the banks. The reduce
ton in interest announced this fall by
many of the largest banks will I'M
doubtedly tend to reduce this last
number.

FARM BREvETIEs.
Farmers Institutes.

The season has arrived for holding
farmers Institutes in the various
towns, and a word in regard to their
Importance may not be out of place at
this time. | notice that the secretary
of the board has prepared a very wide
range of subjects for discussion and
has secured large number OF well
known speakers to address the meet
ings. l would urge upon any farmer
the desirabllty of attending at least
one of these institutes. The farmers
need to get together and brush up
their ideas if they would keep up with
the procession. If the producers of
the country were as well organized
and pulled together as we'll as the
manufacturers and consumers, they
could command much higher prices
for what they produce, in fact, they
could starve out the rest of the world
in little while. Times are much
better this fall than for several years
back among manufacturers and labor
ers and the farmer is coming in for
his share of prosperity. If farm
ers institute is to be held in your town
turn out and take your family with
you. 1t will do you all good. The
wife needs the benefits OF the inSti-
tute even more than you do.

JOHANN Won BLOCH.
The Famous Author Who First
Spoke for Universal Peace.
HIS Remarkable Influence with the
6sar of Russia Led to the Call for
the International Confer
ence at The Hague.

III war shall cease to strew the world
with woe ana suffering because OF what
has been done by the peace conference
at The Hague, humanity will owe its de-.
liverahce largely to the efforts of Baron
Johann Won Bloch, whose book, 1.-THE
War of the Future" it was that turned
the mind of the czar of Russia toward
peace and made the conference possible.
Rarely in the worlds history has it
fallen to the lot of one man to do such
a noble work for his race as Baron Won
Bloch has done. Whatever may be the
immediate outcome of the conference
at The Hague, the impression produced
on the minds of men by the baron's
volume can never be etfaced. Such a
graphic, powerful and convincing por-
trayal of the miseries and horrors OF
war has never been given to the world
before. Arguments along this line,
pleas for peace, and books and pamph.
lets against war are plentiful enough
in all literature, ancient and modern.
But Baron Won Bloch's work gains its
ovelty and it's special force from the
act that, while he enters no direct
Plea for peace, he sets forth the ter
rible results of future wars with such
minute and philosophical detail, and
with such an overwhelming array of
facts and figures, that it is impossible
for anyone to think of embroiling the
nations in future conflicts at arms
without a shudder of horror. The
baron, says Leslie's Weekly, has en-
joyed exceptional facilities for produc'
ing a work of this kind. He is Rus
sian official of high rank, and has had
access to valuable material in the
archives of the Russian government.
He gave eight years to the task of writ
ing the six volumes of 1.-THE War of
the Future"
In them he discusses at length the
art and conduct of war, the carrying

Trea tment of Nose Bleed.

Epistaxis, or nose bleed" is an af-
Fiction to which some individuals are
exceedingly prone. AS it is frequent
ly merely an effort on the part of nd
ture to relieve the system of surplus
amount of blood, it should not be
checked unless the hemorrhage be-
comes excessive. One of the first meas
ures to be employed for that means is
the elevation of the head and arms.
Next press the upper lip firmly against
the base of the nose or nostrils. Snuff
fing up fine salt, tannin or powdered
alum is effective, or solution may be
made of either and syringed into the
nasal cavity; likewise common lemon
juice or vinegar, remembering to have
the patient keep his mouth open to per-
NIT the escape of the fluid. Do not al
low him to bend over basin. Applica-
tions of ice-cold congresses to the back
of the neck and bridge of the nose are
useful, and rendered more so by en-
ploying very hot foot bath at thesame
time.

power of modern rifles and explosives.
lie shows that, with the latest inven-
tons in the enginery of war, future
conflicts between great armies will be
more horrible and destructive than
anything conceived of before. He gives
the figures of the great standing armies
of Europe, amounting altogether to
over 100000 men, and discusses the
vast and complicated problems con-
nected with their movements and sub
sistence in time of war, showing how
industry will be paralyzed and the peo-
pie beggared and ruined by the drafts
upon their war resources. He states,
for example, that in a war between the
dual and triple alliance of Europe 49,
100000 armed men would be set in mo-
ton, whose daily expense would be
$20,000,000. When one reads state
ments like these from the baron's work
it is not matter of surprise that it
should have set the cZar of all the Rus
slams to devising methods to bring
about a reign of peace among men.
That the work will go far toward bring
ing about the happy time there can be
nc manner of doubt. The baron is 65
years old, but he looks younger. He is
stout and well preserved, and has pierre
ing eyes. When he becomes excited he
is fierce in manner and quite otherwise
than peaceful-looling individual. He
talks English fairly, in common with
eight or nine other languages. His hor
ror of war dates back to his youthful
days, when he gave much time to his
torical reading, and his great work is
really the outcome of much thought
and study. He is very sanguine over the
future, but does not expect the mil
lenium will be ushered in very soon. He
is a truly wise man and not crank or
a mere dreamer.

The Grange.

have noticed that farmers inSti-
tutes have been much more pOpu-
lar and better attended in times past
in towns where there was an active
grange. The grange is in itself a
sort of educational institute, it brings
it's members together at frequent in
tervals and develops their ideas of life
socially as we'll as economically. At Il
recent annual convention of the state
Dairymen's Association where the
governor was present, he remarked
that he was aStonished to find SO many
farmers who could come before an au-
dience with such bright ideas and
such good delivery. The truth of it
was that nearly every speaker at that
meeting was a member of some grange
and had got his training in the grange.
The grange stands for the best of
everything connected with farmers
and farm life. Unlike most lodges or
leagues it admits every member of the
family who have arrived at years of
discretion. The grange helps to pro-
mote fraternity in the country; it
brings the different elements of the
community together and harmonizes
them. There are good many COM
munities in Vermont that never have
had a grange, but the work of the
grange is spreading and we hope to
see the day when the farmers will all
pull together in the only purely farm
ers organization that exists.

ness great improvement in electric
roads in this state. The Bethel and
Rochester and the SaXton River and
Bellows Falls roads will be completed
early in the year. The line from
Burlington to Hinesburgh will I'M
doubtedly be extended to Shelburne.
The St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville

built will prove of great benefit to the

Christmas Trees.

l notice large shipments of young
spruces and tammaracks for Christmas
trees. l don't know the full extent
of this industry, but l have seen some
ten carloads shipped out Of this state
this fall, each car containing several
hundred sapling trees. This is all
wrong in my judgment. 1t is devas-
tating the forestry interests of the
state that sadly need protection. The
spruce is comparatively a fast grower
and in % to 80 years these saplings
would grow to be good stable mill
timber. The old growth forests of
Vermont are fast disappearing and we
should take some preventive against
a wood famine in the future. l think
the state should assume some tangible
right of eminent domain over the for
est lands and prohibit the cutting of
sapling timber of all kinds for any
purpose whatever. This has been
done for ages in the older countries
of Europe and must be done here be-
fore many years or we will have no
forests. Lime kilns, charcoal pits
and pulp mills have most voracious
appetite for just such tender proven
der, but it should not be tolerated.
BY cutting trees 8 inches in diameter
or over there would be a new crop of
timber constantly coming to maturity
and thus prolong the life of the forest
on which so much depends.
