Fifty years in the newspaper bust
ness, and on one paper at that, is a
privilege that but few attain. Such,
however, is true regarding Col. 6. q.
Benedict of the Burlington Free Press.
April 1, 1853, he became associated
with his father in the management OF
that paper and for forty years has
been its editor-in-chief. Under Col.
Benedict's able management the Free
Press has prospered to remarkable
degree until now it is not only the
leading daily in Vermont, but recog-
nized as a strongrepresentative New
England newspaper, whose influence
is always welded in the right direc-
ton. We congratulate Col. Bene-
dict and his able corps of assistants
upon the high standard the Free

The name of Judge Ide, who is now

Before the first of July the daily
mail delivery will have extended to
more than three million farmers fam
lilies throughout the United States.
1t is not a simple delivery ofmail, but
an extension of all the postal facili-
ties enjoyed by village people to the
farmers-the collection of mail, the
sale of stamps, the registration of
letters and the furnishing of postal
orders. AS far as mail facilities are
concerned the occupants of the farm
have about the same advantages as
those in the cities and villages. Uncle
Sam is no respector of persons in this

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia3
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Bows who are slaves to the ciga-
rette habit will sympathize with Ca
Diet Berry ofKentucky, whosepreemp-
tory dismissal from West Point after
a trial by court martial had been ap-
proved by President Roosevelt. The
action in Berry's case was not so
much the smoking ofthe "coffin nails"
but was because he pervaricated the
truth when questioned about having
them in his possession. Still the ha-
bitual use of them will befuddle the
mind so that one will not know the
difference between truth and lying.
