Saltcejlars.

Saltcellars first came into use in
medieval times. There was only
one on the table, and it held from
two to three quarts. The salt was
placed about the middle of the ta.
ble's length. At the upper end sat
the lord of the castle or palace and
his intimates, and the saltcellar
marked the dividing line between
the associates Of the nobleman and
his dependents, SO that to "sit be-
low the salt'' meant social inferior

The need in Vermont of an independ-
ent department of insurance is urgent
and should be given the careful atten-
ton of the present legislature. Under
the present arrangement the state in
surance affairs are conducted by the
secretary of state and state treasurer,
who give what spare time they can to
the work and hire clerk to do the
rest Part of the records are kept in
Montpelier, part at the home of the
secretary of state and part at the home
of the treasurer This makes it eX-
tremely inconvenient for people who
come from without the state to look up
insurance matters. 1t also hampers the
work of the department. In urging the
need of a separate department of in
surance the Burlington News well says:
"Life insurance is one of the most
intricate of all the business affairs of
modern life. Only a student can hope
to understand it. Even the actuaries of
IHt great COHlptulco cOulu Hdluly IA
plain their own figures of processes
under Mr. Hughes's searching exami-
nations. The system is sufficiently in
tricate and the financial part of it of
sufficient Importance to justify this
state in creating an Independent de-
partment of insurance, with a compe-
tent man at its head. The two men
who now manage the department of
our public affairs as an appendage to
their real official duties are paid one
thousand dollars each for their insur-
ance labors. If the two thousand dol
lars thus paid were devoted to the pay
ment of the salary of one man at the
head of the department the additional
cost would be small; and our insurance
affairs would, in the proper man S hands
be on a much better basis. We hope the
legislature will investigate this ques-
tion and create an Independent depart
ment of insurance.

TO AILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
a Sufferer in Brattleboro.

/ No woman can be healthy and well
/ if the kidneys are sick. PoisOns that
pass off in the urine when the kidneys
are well are retained in the body when
the kidneys are sick. Kidneys and
bladder get inhamed and swollen,
crowding the delicate female organs
nearby and sometimes displacing
them. This is the true cause of many
bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric poisoning also
causes headaches, dizzy spells, languor,
nervousness and rheumatic pains.
When suffering so, try Doan S Kid
nev Pills, the remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will re-
turn when the kidneys are well. Let
a Brattleboro woman tell you about
Doan S Kidney Pills.
Mrs F. j. Bassett, of 2 South Main
street, Brattleboro, VT, says: "For
some time [ was annoyed by serious
disorder of the kidneys. I had severe
attacks of headaches and dizziness, and
twinge would catch me in the small
of my back. There was also too fire.

times [ was slightly bloated. I had
read a great deal about Doan S Kidney
Pills and when I saw them advertised

got a box. They relieved me at once
of the pain in my back and of the |
headaches and dizziness. They also
corrected the urinary trouble and re-
duced the bloated condition of my I
body. I consider Doan s Kidney Pills
an excellent kidney remedy. Ny hus-
band also used them and was greatly

BRArrLEBoRo, FRIDAY, OCT. la, !
Don't Kill the Goose.

Left to its own devices the legisla
ture would unquestionably raise par
ticular hob with the automobile law
At this early period of its career a
strong prejudice against the automobile
is apparent, created in part no doubt
by the recommendation of Governor
Proctor in his inaugural message. On
account of this prejudice il behooves all
who realize the benefits which come to
the state from automobile traffic to
use what influence they have in pre-
venting any fool legislation along this
line. In no way can the development
of Vermont as a summer resort be re-
tarded to n greater extent than by put
ting more restrictions on automobile
tourists. The number of people who
go through this state in autos is in
creasing every year, They are good
spenders too, and the hotel.keeper has
no monopoly on the coin which leaves
their purses. Where is the wisdom in
making these people pay special auto
mobile tax as is recommended by Gov
ernor Proctor' 1t would simply make
them pay for the right to spend their
money in the state, and that certainly
would be very poor business. Govern
or Proctor also says that the legisla-
ture ought to consider whether auto
mobiles should not be prohibited the
use of certain highways, particularly
the narrow hill roads, until horses
become so familiar with the machines
that the present danger of accident is
removed. How does the Governor eX-
pect horses will ever become familiar
with automobiles if the two are kept
apart9 Under such circumstances a
horse would lose its fear about the same
time the mastery of the aquatic art
came to the young woman who was
given permission to learn to swim on
condition that she wouldn t 60 near the
water. Governor Proctor was right in
one thing: Automobiles have come to
stay. This fact must be taken into
consideration by the members of the
general assembly. They must also bear
in mind that the summer traffic which
the machines have brought about is
worth numerous big, round dollars to
the people of the state, and that the
way to increase this traffic is to make
automobiling in Vermont as comfort
able and enjoyable as possible. Don't
kill the goose.

Report of Soldiers Home.

The biennial report of the trustees
of the Vermont soldiers home at Ben
nington just issued shows that the total
number of deaths at the home during
the past 2 years has been 81, that dur
ing that time IS inmates have been ad-
mitted, 81 patients have been treated
at the hospital and 10 in their rooms.
Since the institution was opened in
May, 1887, 592 Vermont soldiers have
been received. The report shows that
the per capita cost of supporting the
inmates per year is 1851. The trus-
tees cordially commend Col. and Mrs
Thomas Harmon, the superintendent
and matron of the home, and they ask
the legislature to appropriate $4,000
for the coming biennial term for the
support of the home, the same amount
that was appropriated two years ago.

State Aid Not Needed.

And now the Valley fair of Brattleboro has
come and gone, so that we are able to pass
| final judgment whether or not the agricultural
| exhibits of Vermont need to stand on any but
| their own bottom, whether a few of them
should be subsidized. II one were to judge
by the attendance at this years Valley fair,
there comes an emphatic mo- to the query.
| Twenty-Five thousands pairs Of lips sent back
| the answer and as many thousands more who
would like to have attended but could not add
their voice to the general REPUTATION of the
charge that agricultural fairs in Vermont are
q thing of the past unless they be permitted
to thrust q hand into the states pocket. The
success of fair must be judged largely by
its attendance. People would not 20 if it had
not come to their ears that there was some
thing worth seeing So attendance is the
guage of success. 1t seems that with any
thing like iudcious management the Valley
fair of this year ought to be able to make
both ends meet and have the credit side lap
over trife or more. Brattleboro is town
of perhaps 5000 people, and Windham county
contains something like 10000. There were
%, 600 persons in attendance at the fair last
week. number equal to about half the en-.
tire county. When half county turns out

MANY sportsmen would like to see
the fishing season for brook trout made
uniform, and for that matter shortened
May | is considered too early to open
the trout season here, as in ordinary
years the fish have not left the deeper
waters where they winter and are thin
and not in good condition. A three
months open season for brook trout
both in streams and ponds beginning
the middle of May or even June l,
would be satisfactory to our fishermen.
Rutland Herald.
May l may be too early to open the
trout season in Rutland county but it
is certainly none too early in this part
of the state AS a rule the streams
hereabouts are in excellent condition
at that time, and it frequently happens
that so many fish are taken during the
first week that the sport during the re-
mainder of the season is exceedingly
poor. That is one reason why many
sportsmen in this county would like to
see the season open as early as April l.
Fishermen always go out during the
opening days, and if conditions happen
to be against them it means so many
more fish left in the streams. Trout
that escape the multitude of lures offer
ed them the first week or two after the
