We agree with the Mortified News
that the building that is being erected at
the St Louis fair grounds by one, Arthur
C. Jackson. should not be allowed to
carry the name THE Vermont building
An appropriate designation would be
The jackson House. "-Exchange.
Better wait and see what kind of a
building is built. If Mr.. jackson erects
creditable building he will have done
Vermont real service and will deserve
the thanks of the whole State. If he
does no better than the State COM
missioners did at Chicago with $4,000
of good money from the State treasury
he deserves the severest denunciation.

The Rutland railroad has done the
State an inestimable service in calling
attention to its unequalled attraction as
a summer resort in "Across the Island
and Beyond" Beautiful and valuable
as similar books issued by this COM
pany in the past have been, this is way
ahead of anything yet done to advertise
the natural beauties and attractions of
Vermont. 1t is a shame that the State
leaves this work to one or two railroads
to do. Vermont should spend and could
spend to advantage $4,000 year in adj
vertising its attractions, resources.

Have "already enough property to
provide for your family in case of your
death ?" But l need not tell you"
that PRESENT possession does not
necessarily mean PERMANENT
possession. Moreover, loss of prop
erty too often comes hand in hand
with failing health and increasing age,
when life insurance can no longer be
obtained. In any event, however
great ones wealth may De, ready
money is needed in settling an estate
to save other property from sacrifice.
A life insurance policy is cash in bank.
"Not ready yet?" That's because
you are just now in robust health with
every promise of long life. If you
knew that, at some time within a year
the exact date alone being uncer-
tain-you would be uninsurable, you
would be ready for policy Immediately,
and would want US to rush things.
Well, there are just two things that you
do actually know:
a.-You know, or think you do,
that you are insurable now.
b. You know, without doubt, that
sooner or later you will be Uninsurable,
how soon you cannot tell.
The LOGIC of it is, insure now
while you can, do not guess at the
future, or trust to chance, but act on
certainties.
"1ncome not sufficient" to support
your family and pay life insurance
premiums .also2 How, then, would
the family live were that income to be
cut off altogether by your death?
Don't want to leave your wife "a lot
of money so that she can get married
again and spend it on some other
fellow" eh1 Well, now, l don't think
she will be inclined to marry again.
Poverty and want, however, may drive
her to adopt even this undesirable
expedient.
If you don't wish that to happen,
leave sufficient life insurance to provide
for her in comfort, and the matrimo-
NAL lottery will not tempt her a second
time.

. Here's something new! Isn't it reason
able to expect that medicine that con-
tains ingredients that act on every vital
organ is sure to strike the diseased spot?
And that when it finds it, if it is power
full and scientifically formulated will
regulate and drive disease from this
affected spot: That's the new principle
in DR.. Merrow's great SYSTEM RENO
VATOR, explains why it cures all chronic
diseases, (tumors and cancers excepted)
when other treatments, that have been
guessing, have failed because they didn't
touch the spot. Banishes the lesser
troubles, indigestion, no appetite, tired
feelings, like magic. Makes you feel

tFrom the Springfield Republican,
"The beneficent practise of saving
mountains for the perpetual use of the
people is spreading, both by state action
and private gift. Slowly have people
come to take the large outlook which
this involves The wisdom of such
preservation need not be argued but its
necessity receives emphasis as men of
great wealth have been reaching out to
obtain enormous rural and mountain
Adirondacks, the people are ruled out of
regions where they have roamed, hunted
and fished. That discomfort and revolt
should be engendered by such extension
OF the rights of the few to the exclusion
of the many is the most natural thing in
the world. There will be much more of
1t as time goes on. So far as woods and
mountains are withdrawn from the
general enjoyment in this way and are
made accessible only to the few and the
rich, we are approaching such conditions
and problems as the great landed estates
of England involve. Along the seacoast,
too, the beaches are being fenced in from
the public use. Clearly there should be
a limit beyond which this cannot be ex-
tended, and in some way provision must
be made by which the public enjoyment
of natural advantages shall not be cur
tailed to the vanishing point. 1t is for
localities. as well as for those who desire
to invest their money for the benefit OF
future generations, to keep this matter
in mind and see that proper action is
provided before it becomes more difficult
of accomplishment than now.
1.-The example of Joseph Battell of Mid.
dlebury, Vt, is much in point. He has
bought Ellen mountain, which rises 400C
feet above the town of Warren, VT, and
purposes to convert it into park for the
benefit of the citizens of the Greer
Mountain state. To build Libraries anC
to promote heroism is well, but to save
mountains as reservations where the
health and enjoyment of the people car
De forever promoted-isnt that, upor
the whole, seeing that Libraries are No
novelty, and that their growth anC
enrichment will be duly taken care of
a better use for the money of men whC
seek to benefit their fellows?
1.-The state of Massachusetts in he
Wachusett, Greylock and Mt Ton
reservations, has moved in an enlighten
ed way to help localities achieve noun
tain peaks. In this fine example ha
been given to other states. But there i
a limit to what the state will do o
ought to do. Beyond that lies tn
opportunity for private giving that mel
who have been greatly blessed in thi
worlds goods can use to the everlasting
; benefit of the people, and to their owl
great satisfaction, and the laying up o

Railroads are Wisely Advertis in
Vermont

a New York man who was in this
section of the State last week said: "This
is a paradise-the most beautiful spot
one can find anywhere. The people of
the whole country should know more
about Vermonts beauties" The reply is
that year by year the public are learning
more of not only the scenic attractions
and health-giving climate of this State
of its surprising excellence as place Of
resort in summer-but also of its mate
rial resources and opportunities, says the
Rutland News. OF course there is much
more that should be done, and will be
done as the years pass, to bring Vermont
before the eyes of the rest-seeking
world, but more is being done along this
line at present than one realizes.
The State itself is doing little-outside
of the State board of agriculture-to
advertise itself. But the railroad COM
panies traversing Vermont are more and
more spreading the States attractive
features before the gaze of the world.
And all this without money and without
price to the people largely the benefi-
Charles of the advertising.
The 1904 book of the Rutland Railroad
company is a case' in point Called
"Across the Islands and Beyond" it pre-
sents series of beautiful illustrations,
accompanied by enthusiastic text con-
corning Vermont, alluring to the city
resident and tourist alike. Now, no one
can properly estimate the real value tC
Vermont, especially to the numerous
summer resorts pictured or mentioned
of such a handsome brochure as this
scattered as it will be throughout the
cities of the various States. Every towI
on or near the line of this railroad comes
in for complimentary notice.
Rutland itself receives a good deal Of
advertising, no less than two pages Of
the seventy in the book being given tt
that city. The following are sentences
taken at random: "Heres a town wortl
going miles to see, and indeed it must be
seen to be appreciated, for description
will surely fail to do it justice. The frs
thing that impresses the stranger il
Rutland is that the people of that city
notwithstanding their enterprise, which
has elevated Rutland to the commercial
and industrial rank of much largel
towns, have insisted upon retaining thu
charms and attractions of foliage, lawr
and park-like effects despite their activ
tiles in business"
The primary object of such book a
"Across the Islands and Beyond is t.
attract summer tourists to the lines o
the Rutland railroad. But the rehe,
benefit to the State at large is by all odd
the most considerable. If railroads car
afford to thus advertise the territor,
they traverse, how much more can tn,
State and its component towns afford t.
follow their example! This common
wealth should have "depai tment O
publicity and industry" to expend annu
ally a State appropriation to attrac
desirable immigrants, summer resident
and new industrial capital.
