Bills for Foot and Mouth Disease.
MONTPELIER Journal

1t appears but right and proper that
house bill No. 9S should pass. This pro-
Vides for payment of certain sums to
various persons to reimburse them for
loss suffered by reason of the slaughter
of cattle and other stock during the win
ter of 1902-1903, for the purpose of pre-
venting the spread Of the ailment known
as the foot and mouth disease. 1t seems
but right that the state should stand a
portion at least, of this loss, inasmuch as
the purpose of the slaughter was in the
interests of the whole state. 1t is under
stood, moreover, that only 80 per cent of
the actual value of animals killed is ask
ed for, as against eighty per cent. that
has been paid for cattle killed because of
tuberculosis. 1t is hard to see why the
state should not pay so reasonable a
claim as this for which house bill 9s
provides.

Water Supply May Be insufficient.

The work of raising the dam at Mi
nard's pond five feet to secure a greater
storage of the village water supply was
completed Saturday and the large num-
her of Italians who have been employed
there have scattered to various points.
The water in the pond has been unusually
low the past few months and has steadily
fallen, Notwithstanding the heavy rains
or few weeks since. At this time the
water stands only 80 inches above the
pipe at the intake, and If the ground
remains frozen without rains there is Sc

The old overflow of the pond was ia
inches above the pipe and has now been
raised to ia inches before any of the
water in the territory tributary to the
pond goes to waste, but 1t would take a
large amount of rain to fill it, The work
OF raising the dam thus far has been
done with a view to again raising 1t 60

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
