IN OUR OWN STATE.
Strike Of 25oo Granite Workers Ended in
Two DAYS.

About $500 men employed in the stone
sheds in Barre, Montpelier and Mortified
stopped work Monday pending a settle
ment Of the difficulties caused by the
strike of the blacksmiths at Barclay
Brothers sheds in Barre Friday. The
trouble arose over the introduction Of
tool sharpening machines The hand
sharpeners claimed that they were re-
quired to sharpen all the small tools not
easily attended to by the machine men.
Outside of the sharpeners strike a de-
mand was made on the Montpelier man
ufacturers by the polishers and Jumpers,
through their union, for an eight-hOur
day and an increase of % per- cent. in
wages to take effect May 1.
The tool sharpeners decided Tuesday
to abide by the former agreement in re-
spect to the tool sharpening machine and
to go back to work Wednesday. During
the day the wires between Barre and the
headquarters of the granite cutters union
at Washington, D. c., were warm with
messages and the tool sharpeners were
told plainly it is said, that If they did
not fix up the trouble their charter would
be taken away. The result was that a
settlement was made on the basis Of
the former agreement that instead of
using the sharpening machine the black
smiths would sharpen all work that could
not be done by the machine. The granite
cutters, who outnumber the blacksmiths
nearly 10 to l, sided with the manufac-
/ turers.

SOFTCORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

G|RLHOOD'S DANGERS
A Simple and Certain Method by
Which ChIorosis, a Frequent
Affection Of Growing Girls,
May be Overcome.

Every mother knows that the danger
line i'll the development of girl is
crossed at the point where girlhood and
womanhood meet. This critical point
cannot be too closely guarded. Care in
sures robust health neglect means liv-
ing misery.
Mrs. E. @. Young, of No. 303 Lynn
street, Ithaca, n. Y, was safely brought
through her girlhoods trying period by
simple course of treatment, after
physicians had failed to help her
When | was seventeen" she says,
l began to fail i'll health and, in spite
of all the medicines our family doctor
gave me, l continued to grow worse.
Neither he nor another doctor who also
attended me seemed to be able to reach
the cause of my trouble. 1t was chloro-
sis, they said, form of anemia with
which girls of about that age are often
afflicted. l was troubled with shortness
of breath, hadn't bit of color and
couldn't 60 upstairs without being all
tired out My limbs were dreadfully
swollen and my appetite entirely gone.
I had nervous headaches for which q
doctor recommended glasses, but the
glasses did not cure them. Each month
suffered great deal of pain and was
very irritable.
This condition kept growing worse
for three years until finally it became
| intolersble and l began to hunt eagerly
for some remedy that could effect a GER
tain cure. Finally found friend who
said she had been cured of similar
trouble by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, after her case had been
pronounced hopeless. Upon her strong
recommendation l decided to take this
remedy. Relief was almost immediate
and after using the pills for short time
l was cured altogether and l have re.
manned perfectly well and strong eve1
since"
The value of such remedy is beyond
the power of words to express, for it de-
termines the happiness of a lifetime. DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
sold by all druggists, or will be sent
direct from DR. Williams Medicine Co.
Schenectady, n. Y. postpaid on receipt
of price, fifty cents per box six boxe,
for two dollars and half.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
1t is Claimed that a Simple Mixture viii
Cure Germs Of Typhoid Fever and Ma
iaria, and XIII Mosquitoes.

4 Washington special to the New York
Herald says that the agricultural depart
ment has made and is now experimenting
with a discovery that promises to mark
one of the greatest strides IN recent years
toward improving public health An eX-
pert of the department has discovered
that mixture of copper sulphate and
lime, the inexpensive compound known
commercially as Bordeaux mixture.
will absolutely eXterminate the germs of
typhoid fever, malaria fever, and also
the capacity of mosquitoes to thrive over
pools of stagnant water, The discovery
was made while experimenting to find
a means to destroy diseases which attack
water cress and other aquatic vegetation.
In his experiments, the expert who was
working on the subject discovered the
presence of n solution of Bordeaux mix
ture in the water in small quantities and
had no bad effect upon those who drank
it; that typhoid fever germs were destroy
ed absolutely within an hour; that the
water cress was not injured by the solu-
ton, as the amount used was so small
that it could not be detected by chemical
analysis.
There is no disagTeeable taste to the
water after the solution has been placed
in it. There is but one part of the So
luton to ten million parts of weter.
Any one can drink as much as one per
cent. of copper without much injury
The agricultural department, the dis
patch adds, is cooperating with the
state boards of health in New York Mas
sachusetts and elsewhere, and it has found
that the dangerous algae in water has
been removed when the mixture was
used Bordeaux mixture has been used
! for years for spraying trees to kill insects
and is extremely cheap in comparison
| with methods now used to keep water
| pure.
The department says that only experts
| should use the solution in drinking water
as fatal results might follow the at
! tempts of the inexperienced to purify
water by it.

Question OF Authority In Black River
Academy at Ludlow.

a question OF authority has come up
between the principal of Black River
academy and certain pupils concerned in
the dance that followed the junior class
play in Ludlow. 1t is claimed by the lat
ter that the principal has no right to
regulate their doings after SHOOT hours,
while the former insists that anything
given under the name of the academy and
the direction Of the pupils must be sub
mitted to him. with the privilege Of re-
ferring to the trustees. Mr.. Head takes
the ground that dancing in the middle Of
the school week demoralizes scholarship
and reserves the right given by the acad-
envy bylaws to say in what manner pu-
pills shall spend their evenings. The old
principle lin loco PARENTS" which al
lows teacher to act in a parents ca
pacity. also bears on the question. He
accordingly forbade the class to give the
dance and forbade individual members Of
the class from dancing, under penalty Of
suspension, subject to the action of the
trustees. There were II pupils Of the
academy who came under the ban and
are at present suspended. The matter
will be thoroughly investigated before the
pupils are permitted to resume their
studies. The question hinges more on
the right of the principal to oversee and
direct school affairs than on the merits
OF the dancing idea.
