Vermont Anti-SaIOon League.

The Vermont Anti-Saloon League
will hold its annual meeting of the
board of trustees and hear reports
from the superintendent, treasurer
ard other officers at Burlington,
Monday, February %, at P. M.
DR.. H. H. Russell, D. D., the national
superintendent will be present and
give an address as well as preside at
the meeting. In speaking of the out
look Superintendent G. W. Morrow
said to Free Press reporter
"The State league is the agency of
the churches and temperance organiza-
tions, in the State. The league is only
what these organizations make it. 1t
has the endorsement of the Methodist
conference of the State, the Congrega-
tional convention, the Baptist conven-
ton, the Christian conference, the w.
c. T. u. State convention, the Good
Temp1ars, the Sons of Temperance and
others and is their agent in the field at
the forefront, on the battle line. The
league has been working elsewhere for
years in license States and its greatest
work has been done in Ohio, where
there are 10000 saloons. The Anti
Saloon League work is more important
in Vermont today than ever before,
now, that the licensed saloon confronts
us. The league will attempt to carry
the local towns against the open saloon
will rouse public sentiment to the
enforcement of the prohibitory features
of the liquor law wherever possible;
will continue its agitation work that
Vermont may rise TO the measure of her
possibilities for saloon suppression and
home protection. The legislative feat
ure of the league work becomes of
greater importance than eyer. License
has triumphed by too small majority
to make it a fixture, necessarily, Yer
mont is yet overwhelmingly against the
legal sale of Intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes.

COOKING In Colorado.

A young housekeeper lately re-
moved to Colorado writes her expe-
riences in cooking at an elevation OF
5000 feet. Until she learned to
cover every utensil tightly, beans
boiled two days remained as hard as
pebbles, and eggs were half raw after
being in boiling water several hours.
The usual amount of baking powder
put into biscuits caused them to
leap out of the pan when the oven
door was opened, something like
the advertising pictures of the newest
foods. Is there any reason why
the dietary experts who now write
cook-books should not make some
allusion to the effect of attitudes and
climates on the action Of heat in
cooking?

To Induce Sleep.

When one is working hard it pays
to take five minutes to- lie fiat on the
floor, close the eyes, relax every
muscle and forget all cares. Most
beds are too soft for deep, dreamless
sleep. Take the spring off and sleep
on your back without a pillow. II
you must sleep on your side, use a
pillow, but train yourself to push it
aside and lie on the back as soon as
possible. | know how hard beds feel
after one is used to feathers and
springs, but make up your mind to
it, and you will soou find the benefit
in refreshing sleep. A warm bath
before retiring willinsure restful sleep.
A cold bath on rising will insure one
against taking cold, and also sweet
en- the temper. For catarrh, battle
the forehead with ice water for five
or ten minutes in the morning. To
withstand the summer heat take a
cold bath, and wet the top of the
head. There is nothing like cold
water inside and out for pimples,
poor circulation and that tired feel
ing" but do not drink cold water at
meal time.-Woman'S Home Com

Good advice to our friends in Rock
ingham who want licenses is not TO
invest too much in bar fixtures until
after March 3 anyway. With 100
towns voting no and only so yes on
February 3 it would be good bust

much until after the next Legislature
meets. If the present law is not re-
