January Smart Set"

A. Julien Gordon Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
Cruger) contributes the leading story to
the January Smart Set, and the year 1906
begins auspiciously for that brilliant peri
Odical Mrs. Cruger calls her novelette,
Broken Statues, and no finer piece of
work has come from her pen. She
knows the, world thoroughly, and her
people are real human beings.
Few writers of the day have such a
wide audience as Jack London. and in
his story When God Laughs" in this
number of The Smart Set, ne tells what
is perhat his most powerful tale. The
story is remarkable in many ways.
Besides Mrs. Crugers novelette, there
is another by William Hamilton Osborne,
entitled The faint Q the Lag wholly
different in theme and treatment, but
none the less interesting The short
stories are many and varied by the splen-
did corps of writers that enliven the
pages of The Smart Set Other stories
are by Algernon Tassin, Edward Bolt
wood and Annie Nathan Meyer; and
there is a charming one act play, told in
verse, by William c. de Mile (author of
"Strongheart'') and John Erskin. The
essay is by Bliss Carman, written with
his usual felicity.
The poetry is excellent, A long ballad
by Clinton Scotland is, perhaps, the most
important contribution in verse; the
shorter lyrics are supplied by Arthur
Stringer, Aloysisus Coll, John Vance
Cheney, Arthur Epson. Archibald Sulli
van, Richard Xix, Edith ". Thomas,
and many Others.

TORTURED DAY AND NIGHT
rheumatism Crazes the Mind-An
Internal Blood Treatment called
Uric-O is Widely Recommen
to Cure it.

Every sufferer from Rheumatism who wants
to be rid of the sleepless nights, the nerve
binding, muscle twisting hours of pam, should
get at once bottle of Uric,O, the marvellous
specific for the cure of rheumatism. 1t mat
tiers little how long one has suffered from the
trouble nor now intense the suffering. Uric
O will cure it. 1t cures by its direct action
upon the blood, muscles and kidneys; it neu-
tralizes the rheumatic acid poison and drives
it from the system. Druggists and Physicians
everywhere are recommending Uric o because
they know that at last there has been rene
dy prepared which actually cures the trouble
and cures it to stay cured. 1t has stood all
kinds of tests and never been found wanting.
Uric o is a cure for Rheumatism and for Rheu-
matism only. Mr.. NJ. K. Burt is the agent
for Uric O in Middlebury and he would be
glad to meet all sufferers from the disease and
explain the action of Uric-O on all forms of
Rheumatism. The Smith Drug Co., of SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, are the makers of Uric.O, and
will be glad to send any rheumatic sample of
this marvellous specific on request. They
sometimes send a full sized bottle to people

Montpelier, Vt, Dec 15-An act
passed by the Vermont Legislature three
weeks ago, providing that no State Off
Ger shall receive pay for services not
actually performed, became a subject
of consideration at today's session, when
it was announced that the State audi

pay the members of the House and
Senate fer Mondays and Saturdays of
the legislative session, on the ground
that those have been recess days where
no work was performed. Auditor Ora

opinion which he had received from the
Attorney General
After considering the situation the
Senate and House passed joint resolu

CANNING AND PRESERVING.

The industry of canning and preserv-
ing, as defined by the Bureau of the Cen
sus, embraces all establishments which are
engaged primarily in canning or pveserv-
ing fruits. vegetables, fish, oysters, clans,
and shrimps. There were 2,703 such
establishments in 1904. Their total capt.
tai was $40 .0S2, orc and they employed
SO ,S62 persons, paid out ST., AS ,30S in
wages, consumed materials costing S70,-
05S 1886, and manufactured products to
the value of S10S, sos All. In all of these
items, except that of the number of the
persons employed, the industry shows a
marked increase since the census of 1900.
The decrease in the number of persons
employed was slight and was due to the
increased use of the contract system, I'M
der which laborers are not reported as
employees.
PRODUCTS.
In the total production for the United
States, the largest item was canned veg
tables, the value of which was SAC, 262,-
14S, or Alt per cent of the total. Canned
and dried fruits come next with value
of $27, 30S, 1926. The value of fish was
S25, SAT ,075, of which canned fish consti-
tuted S16, 1888, 779; smoked fish, 50 1862 .740;
and sailed fish, 5000 500. The value of
oysters, canned was S3,799,412.
The leading State in the total value of
canned products was California, for which
1924, 1926, 1928 was reported, most of it for
fruit, canned or dried. New York was
second to California, reporting products
valued at $12, 1855. This State held
second place. not because it excelled in
the production of any particular class of
goods, but because it canned large guam
titles of nearly all classes. Maryland
was third with products valued at S12,-
SSH, and was the leading State
in the canning of vegetables. The
value of its products of this class was So,
556,6l1
The establishments in the United States
reporting this industry are subdivided
into three groups according as their
principal product is canned or preserved
fruits and vegetables, canned or pre-
served fish. or canned and preserved
oysters, CLANS, or shrimps.

There is a possibility of a clash be
tween the Philippine tariff bill and

being a privileged matter, can be
called up at any time. The statehood

tion to coupling New Mexico and Ari.
