Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1900-10-06

Windsor county is acquiring a rep
utation for lawlessncss that is not to
be envicd. RobEcries are becoming
frequent, and not all Of them are
committed by one gang. The Off
GERS have large Job in hand to APP
prehend the guilty parties..- Argus
and Patriot.
Windsor county doesn't mind Il
little excitement. 1t adds to the jov
of living. and the price of powder
and bullets goes up to the profit o t
thrifty ammunition dealers. If bad
men will come this way, let them
come. They carom against our
armor-plated officers and are peck
eted. They come to stay and in Il
limited field make quiet, peaceable
citizens.
If there are any statesmen in
Montpelier doubtful as to the up.to-
date character of the high-liceuse-
local-option issue, they should take
dip into the State press for enlight-
eminent. If the papers are at all
representative of the opinion OF the
people in their sphere of influence,
there is a very strong general de-
mand for some change in, or recon-
sideration of, the present prohibit
ton law. The thing cannot be
avoided much longer by any ratifi-
cation or amendment of the statute
that has been on trial for SO many
years. There is a demand for a
change, for some fair and definite
method of submitting the question
to the people, and it is not made on
mercenary grounds. And as to mer-
cenary motives, the supporters of
prohibition and the promoters of
State expenditures do not stand on
on the firmcst sort of ground. But
give the people chance to vote
let us have a fair referendum. AS
the Brattlcboro Retormer says:
"In other words the referendum
should be on specific measure,
showing exactly what is proposed
under local option, how the liquor
traffic is to be guarded and restrained
and how the people of each commu-
nifty can have the power to regulate
the matter for themselves under the
great principle of home rule in which
lies the largest measure of human
progress and the best practical re-
suits in matters of government"

table Microbe Collector.

The physicians of Europe have band
ed together against the trailing skirts.
During the scientific congress held at
Rome the delegates from the various
countries of Eurape have come to the
conclusion that long skirts are emf.
nently dangerous to health.
DR.. Philip Casagrandi demonstrated
in q most original and impressive fash
ion the inconvenien ces and the sanitary
periis of this garment. He sent into
the streets a number of ladies carry
ing! trailing skirts, with instructions
to walk about for an hour.
When the ladies returned the danger
Gus vestments were submitted to mi
croscopic examination, and on each of
the, skirts DR.. Casagrandi discovered
whole colonies of microbes and bacilli.
) The physicians determined that the
germs of influenza, consumption and
typhoid fever are the least of the evils
which careless mothers, after an hours
promenade, bring home to the cradles
Of their children.

tions made by!Dr. Casagrandi the. n.y.

HAIR BRUSH AND COMB,
Their Neglected Condition. H. Said to
BE Responsible for MANY, Cases
Of Scalp Trouble.

"The thing I'D like to impress upon
the public is the vital Importance of
clean hair brushes" .ays scalp spe-
cialist. ''The condition of the average
hair brush is simply disgraceful and
makes perfect mass . of affection.
The brush should be washed every
week, and washing isn't enough. It
should be thoroughly sterilized at
least twice a month. All hair does
not need much brushing, and the kind
of brush required depends upon the
peculiaritiea Of the scalp, A stiff brush
is necessary for some heads and fatal
to others, and ones brush should
really be prescribed by competent
specialist. Then, the comb should be

comb is all wrong. The teeth should
round both on the sides and the ends,

the hair, and there shouldn't be any
corners between the teeth.
''Women keep their hair, better than
men. In the first place there's more
of it and Their scalps< are, better pro-
tected, but they wear their, hats so
much less than, men, and the hats,
when they are worn, do, not fit the

was not very large, and my congregation
was very poor and unable to contribute
much toward the support of minister, SO

they paid, says the Detroit Free Press.

had was called pound donation party, at
which everyone was expected to bring a
