the Work in Circular.

liz w YIN III u Vii
Superintendent Morrow of the Anti
Saloon League has issued a circular iii
which he says:
Since the entrance into the state OF
Drs. FL. H. Russell and ]. {. Jackson, the
national superintendent and his assistant,
last September, more than $4,000 PEG
pie have been addressed; one hundred
and forty addresses have been given;
more than so towns of the state have
been visited and between 40 and so local
leagues or committees have been organ
lied. Many of these local leagues are
holding monthly agitation and league
meetings. A superintendent, Rev. George
w. Morrow, now of Burlington, has been
giving full time to the work, speaking in
all parts of the state since February l..
One young man, preacher, Mr.. How
ard ]. Chidley, is giving full time for the
summer, and Rev. X. ]. Barton, of Sails
bury, is giving half time in Addison coun-
ty. Mr.. L. J. Paige, Of Burlington, is
giving much time to the secretary work
ofthe State League. Dr. Edward Halves,
of Burlington, is president and W. H. S.
Whitcomb, treasurer. Careful and thor
ough records are kept OF the work. The
work is supported by the voluntary sub
scriptions of the people and many are
giving small monthly subscriptions, but,
II the work is to be enlarged as it should
be, some OF our friends must give more
generously. Ten thousand copies of a
leaflet prepared on authority as digest
of the laws of the state relating to the
liquor traffic, have been printed for free
distribution and nearly 4 900 distributed.
Seven thousand leaflets descriptive Of
the league and it's work have also been
largely distributed. Many copies of the
full text Of the law have been left with
local leagues. Minutes of the Of the last
national league meeting have been given
out: and much other literature has
found its way through the channels
OF the league. Some 10 or IL volunteer
speakers have been enrolled and already
assist in the agitation meetings. Other
men are being paid for their services and
are rendering substantial aid.
Over l 900 copies of the paper "The
American Issue" the official organ of the
National League, now come regularly
into the state every month to as many
subscribers. The list is charging rapid
ly. "The situationis hopeful, 1.-THE com
ing of the Anti Saloon League to Yer
mont is Of God. The fire is spreading.
The influence OF the league is whole
some officers of the law are encouraged
as they see friends behind them. Liquor
agencies are cleaning up. The work
must be enlarged and will be as rapidly
as increasing funds will permit. Encour-
agment prevails everywhere and we hope
all subscribers will renew with their COL
lectors and that enlarged subscriptions
will be the report from all parts of the
state. The sinews of war must be forth
coming it agitation, legislation, and law
enforcement work is to be done success

A Strong Candidate.

We note with pleasure the favor
able mention in several OF the state
papers of Wendell P. stafford, Esq :,
of St. Johnsbury, as a candidate for
member of Congress from the second
district. Mr.. Stafford possesses so
many qualifications for a successful
public career that the mention of his
name as congressional candidate
will bring to him hearty support
from many quarters where he is
known as leading lawyer, a pol
ished and eloquent speaker, a gentle
man and scholar. 1t is rarely that
a young man only 3S years old
reaches such high round in the
ladder OF success, but this place has
been won by conscientious work in
his chosen profession and he is every
where recognized as one of the ablest
young men in the state.
Mr.. Staffords entrance into the
political arena is particularly signif.
cant as the movement to present his
name for representative came from
the people, who delight to honor a
man of his stamp. The fact that his
name has been so well received in
various parts of the state indicates
that he will prove formidable can.

ing a most interesting campaign.

A Busy Time in the New York POST

call, echoing throughout the foreign
room in the Postoffice Building, is
the equivalent of the Clear ship for
action" on the man-of-war. Instant
ly distributors leave their separating
cases. Stampers abandon their
"blocks,' le electric stamp cancell-
ing machine temporarily ceases it's

available clerk or porter gets ready
for the fray, and the whole force
charges with alacrity on the fast &C.
cummulating pile, as sack after sack
is dumped on low, large table, at
times entirely hid from sight by bags
with labels indicating their origin;
thousands of miles away, whether
from the confines of Siberia, or the
shores of the Indian Ocean.
The sight, even to men familiar
with the work is nspiring, especially
when at times two, and on certain
occasions three, steamers land their
cargo of sacks at the same hour.
Not intrequently this happens when
some one thousand and odd sacks
have to be made ready for an outgoing
steamer, and then the foreign force is
fairly on its mettle, and may well be
compared again to the crew of a bat
tleship when it haste fight fire inside
and fire from the enemy outside. Here
again, as on the battleship, organz-
alton and years training tell. The
wagon-loads OF sacks melt before the
vigorous and steady onslaught, as
did the Spanish fleet before Dewey's
guns, and in short while the room
is cleared and the "feld-day" over.

The Largest Flag.

The largest flag in the world is to be
exhibited under the auspices of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
1t was made during the Spanish Ameri-
can war by Miss Josephine milford of
Madison, N. j. There are $4,000
stitches in The flag one for each soldier
and sailor engaged in the war. The flag
is 100 feet long and SO feet wide, and the
blue ground measures 40x35 feet. The
stripes are 5 feet wide and each star is
2a4 feet in diameter There is also a
sentimental interest connected with sew
eral of the stars OF the flag, as they we're
made at places in the various states
which are associated with the great
events of American history. Thus, the
Philadelphia star was partly made in
the house of Betsey Ross, in the room in
which she made the first American flag.
Then it was worked upon at Carpenters
Hall, in the room where the first Cont

was made at Washington's Headquar-
tiers at Morrstown; the MARYLAND star
was made at Fort McHenry. in honor OF
Francis Scott Key; the Virginia star
was made in the Lafayette room in
Washington's Mount Vernon home; the
New York star was partly made at
Faunce's tavern, where Washington

editor OF Harper's Monthly was Yer
monter, Henry ]. Raymond, a gradu-
ate of the state university in the class
of 1910; and that the present editor,
Henry Mills Alden, who has held the

Library building for Ludlow.

Ludlow is to have handsome public
library building, the gift OF Allen M.
Fletcher of indianapolis, Ind. Mr..
Fletcher will build this library in honor
OF his grandfather, Jesse Fletcher, who
was one of the first settlers of Ludlow,
the first town clerk, and the first town
representative, and in memory of his
father, Stoughton A Fletcher, who spent
his summers at Ludlow for long time.
Although the building is to be located at
Ludlow, it is the intention of the donor

in the vicinity can avail themselves of its
privileges,

The Care of the Eyes.

On arising in the morning the eyes
should be bathed gently in cold water
twenty passes are said to be decidedly
strengthening While using them closely
they should be rested at intervals OF an
hour or two, for the strain of constant
reading or sewing is like that of extend
ing the arms at certain height immov-
able. Imagine then the taxing OF the
eyes, which cannot complain save after
years firreparable neglect. When dust
settles in the eyes warm water will
soothe them of any inflammation; rose
water is extremely refreshing, but it
should be bought in small quantities, as
it keeps but a short time. Five cents
worth will give daily eye bath for
several weeks. Tea leaves and alum
water were the eye tones which our
grandfathers used but in these modern
days of absolutely hygienic and antisep-
tic simplicity water, especially in dis.
titled form, is considered powerful

"Stories of Animal Life" by DR..
Charles F. Holden is a charming
work on nature study just published
by The American Book Co. The
stories are derived mainly from per-
sonal experience with the animals
described, and under the guise OF
stories many facts have been intro.
duced, not generally available and
covering wide field. Some of the
chapters have already appeared in
the st. Nicholas, Outlook and Youths
Companion and the subjects cover a
wide range of localities-(rom the
coral laggoons of the Gulf of Mexico
to the coral islands of the Pacific.
The volume may serve either as a
first book on the subject or as a
supplementary reader for those who
have followed a course in the field or
the textbook. The illustrations
carry out still further the idea of the
book, and present at once the more
interesting and striking features o.
the various animals under considera
ton. Sent to any address postpaid
for 60 cents.

Medical Faculty OuapreI.

A quarrel of long standing in the medi-
cal department of the University of Yer
mont has at last reached stage where
the trustees have been called on to take
some decisive action. About year ago
DR.. A. P. Grinnell, who had held the
office of dean for quarter Of century,
was removed by vote of the other
members of the faculty, but was con-
tinued as professor of theory and prac.
tice OF medicine. This caused breach
between DR.. Grinnell and the other mem
bers of the faculty, and the relations
have been growing more and more
strained all the time. At the annual
meeting of the board of trustees last
week the faculty preferred charges
against DR.. Grinnell for INSTRUMENTATION.
The trustees referred the matter to a
committee OF five of its members. Dr.
Grinnell denies the charges.
