PURE AIR.
Its Great Value as a Cure for Con

1t is important that the entire time
of the patient should be passed in
pure air. The vigilance of this in
eessant campaign against the enemy
should not be relaxed a moment
Therefore good air has to be pro,
vided for the time spent within doors
Otherwise the foe will take advantage
of the armistice. With the new forces
thus recruited by him, the advantages
gained will be largely counteracted.
Hence, the rooms have not only to be
kept scrupulously clean and disin-
fected, but thoroughly ventilated.
The patient has to sleep with window
open as wide as possible. In certain
German sanatoria abundant pure air
at night is so insisted upon that there
are no windows in the openings. An
abundance of bed clothing is provided,
and the patient soon learns to sleep
in comfort in the most inclement
weather, even though the snow blows
in. The excess of oxygen fairly
burns the noxious microbes out of

OBITUARY..
JOHN W. DORSEY.


Died Thursday, Aug. 5, in Bridport, Vt,
John W. Dorsey, aged Il years.
In the death of Mr.. John W. Dorsey the
world at large, and especially that portion of
ii in which he lived, has lost one more OF that
class OF men who constitute the bone and sin
ew of a nation. Not those of whom the world
hears most, not those who are consumers and
not producers of what makes for the worlds
advancement ana growth, are most necessary
for that steady evolution that is a peoples
glory, but the men and women of quiet lives
regulated by high ideals of personal living in
all the relations of life, raising those immedi-
ately about them to q higher plane OF living
and thinking-tnese are they to whom in the
aggregate the world owes most.
Such man was Mr.. Dorsey. The old'fash-
Toned virtues of honor to men and reverence
to God early took firm hold OF HIM anu could
not be shaken off, even at the expense of
being called narrow and Puritanical. He
was kind and affectionate in his family, de.
voted TO the interests of those having pc
culiar claims upon him, a devout worshiper
and consistent member of his chosen church
industrious, upright in BUSINESS matters, he
left to his friends the example OF life guided
by the eternal principles of right and religion
as he understood them. Such lives as his are
the prayers that ascend as memorials on high
and bring blessings to men in the form OF
Mr.. Dorsey had filled out the Psalmist's limit
and dying left behind him pleasant and in
spring memories. =.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
VIII Give Impetus to Good Roads
Movement.


Now that the postoffice department
has announced that the continuance of
free delivery of the mails in rural dis
tricts depends upon the maintenance
of good roads the question of the keep
ing up of the roads is of more impor-
tance than ever, says the St Louis
Post Dispatch.
Free mail delivery has been of Areat
benefit wherever il has been tried. 1t
means saving of time and money to
the people. 1t is the use of well organ
lied effort for the desultory and waste
full method of each man going for his
own mail. In many cases it may save
individuals of families much money
and suffering. There are plenty of
instances where the prompt delivery of
q letter was n matter of life or death.
When it is understood that those Sec
tions that maintain good roads have
free delivery, while those that allow the
roads to become impossible are cut
off from its benefits, it can hardly be
doubted that we shall see q great i'm
provement in roadmaking. Country
people do not like to pay for something
which they do not get

A Ferrisburg Arrest.

W. Il. Nichols of Ferrisburg had a
horse taken from him Sunday night A
man by the name of Walter Grace. who
has worked on the farm of IReuben E.
Parker for the past 10 months, went to
Mr.. NchoIs's about o'clock In the
evening and wanted to hire a horse to
go to Nergennes. Grace swas accom-
panied by another man. who has also
worked for Parker. They said they
wanted the horse for only two or three
hours. Grace came to Mr.. Nichols
Monday with only the lap robe. He
claimed that he found himself in the
road this morning and had only the lap
robe. The other fellow had gone with
the rest of the rig and had also taken
his watch and what money he had.
Mr.. Nichols secured the services of
Officer George W. Wyatt, who went
over the route that this fellow claimed
to have taken, but his story did not
seem very plausible to the officer and
Grace was arrested. Ee was brought
before Justice Moulton Monday after
noon and bound over to await the action
of the Grand jury in December. He
was brought to Middlebury Tuesday
morning. From different persons who
saw the party it is learned that there
was a third man in the carriage some of

LETTER TO c. A. WILLIAMSON & BRO


Dear Sirs You know how weii it pays
to keep your carriages painted, both for
looks and to keep out water. 1t pays as
well to paint your barn and your house.
We put your barn first, because that is
your bnsiuess-your customers see ii.
You see, there are two good reasons
for paint; one is looks; the other is
wear. If you paint for looks, the wear
will take care of itself.
Paint often for looks; and use good
paint for both looks and wear.
The best paint is Devoe lead and zinc
ground together by machinery; same
proportions as are used by the L. 5.
Government 1t wears twice as long as
lead and oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly,

years a resident of Middlebury. The
end came suddenly at the home of
Edward Spaulding In Brdport, where
Mr.. Dorsey was stopping for the night.
His teath was not known by the family
until the following morning. and it
seemed evident that the end had come
peacefully in his sleep. Mr.. Dorsey was
formerly a resident of Benson, and a
member and travelled for the once
famous firm of Dorsey Brothers, who
dealt in tin, hardware, tools, mechanical
and farm apparatus and had dozens of
teams and agents collecting barter all
oyer Western Vermont and Eastern
New York. One brother of the deceased
was Stephen II. Dorsey, who went to
Arkansas after the Civil war, became
prominent in politics and was elected to
the United States senate. He is survived
by daughter, the wife of Rev. c. l..
Leonard of Pttstield, Mass, Miss
Francis of New York, Miss Helen of
Rutland and two sons, Stephen Of Rut-
land and Howard of Ludlow.

No Tariff On This Article.

Kansas City, Feb S.--A Jacobs, one
of the largest importers of -four in Hol-
land is in Kansas City. Mr.. Jacobs
lives in Rotterdam and at the Baltimore
hotel last night he was bemoaning the
fact that he had not been in his native
country to help in the celebration of
the young queens marriage. Otherwise
Mr.. Jacobs was glad that he was in
America and he expressed himself as
delighted with what he had seen- He
IS here to make contracts for Kansas
flour, which he will import in his
country. Speaking of the flour trade,
Mr.. Jacobs said:
There are two reasons why we use
American flour. First, our own great
wheat country. Russia, is not able to
supply us with half of what we con
sumo. The second reason. and the
and especially Kansas flour, is the best
in the world, and commands a premium
IN all markets of the globe We are do
ing more business with America now
than ever before, and I am sure that
trade between the two countries will
increase right along. Holland places no
tariff on American -four because our
people use so much of it and like 1t so
well Dutch merchants are slow to
make new trade alliances, but we are
beginning to like you Americans. and
your goods are so superior that we are
glad to be able to buy them"
Mr. Jacobs is extremely interested In
everything American and he will visit
the stock yards and the packing houses
in Kansas City before he leaves.

ALARMING SITUATION.
England's Iron and Steel Trade Lost

Great Britain, calls attention to the La

The depression is attributed in part to a

but chiefly to offers Of American iron and

expressions of alarm at the outlook.
The press in general, says Mr.. Flem-
ing, bIames them first for not adopting
labor saving machinery in all branches
of production where it can be introduced.
and blames the worl1men for their undis-
guised hostility to all labor saving devices
As to the lack of practical instruction
in the industrial arts, the consul says: "It
is the accepted opinion here that in the
matter of technical education. Great Brit
ain is far behind the United States and
Germany On this subject, also. he
transmits newspaper articles eulOgizing
the liberality of rich American citizens in
founding and endowment of institutions
for the requirement of such an educa-

on the part of wealthy Americans is a
potent factor in the educational develop

says may not give due weight to the

which come from his able Instructors

eyes to the meaning. of $50 coal Mr..
FlelRtng points out that all coal deposits
in Great Britain are known and there are
few fields that have not been worked for

opinion begins to prevail that this amount
IS entirely too great to send away. in
view of the limit which production appar-
