The main features of the Presidents
message are to be found in another part
of the paper. Sound common sense is
the keynote of the whole message. 1t is
worthy of note that the automobile
mania has reached such an acute stage
that President Roosevelt makes reference
in this way: "When an individual mort
cages his house to buy an automobile lie
invites disaster, and when wealthy men,
or men who pose as such, or are un
scrupulously or foolishly eager to be.
come such. indulge in reckless specula
ton, especially if it is accompanied by
dishonesty, they jeopardize not only
their own future, but the future of al
their innocent fellow citizens, for they
expose the whole business community to

RECIPE MIXED OFTEN.
Druggists Praise This Simple
Home Remedy.

Some remarkable stories are being told
about town and among the country peo-
pie coming in of this simple home made
mixture curing Rheumatism and Kidney
trouble. Here is the recipe and direc.
tions for taking: Mix by shaking in well
in bottle one half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Take as dose one teaspoonful
after meals and at bedtime.
No change need he made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture, writes one authority in
leading Philadelphia newspaper has a
peculiar tonic effect upon the kidneys
cleansing the clogged-up pores of the eli
minative tissues. forcing the kidneys to
sift and strains from the blood the uric
acid and other poisonous waste matter,
overcoming Rheumatism, Bladder and
Urinary troubles in short while.
A New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement in the news
papers last October stated that the
people who once try it swear by it,
especially those who have Urinary and
Kidney trouble and suffer with Rheuma-
tism.
The druggists in this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home. There
is said to be no better blood cleansing
agent or system tonic known, and GER
tainly none more harmless or simple to
use,

The valued St. Adams Messenger came
out Saturday with nigh three columns
relative to that much-discussed question
of empty pews''; and, incidentally gave
some good suggestions as to practical
charities in its own home town. For
anyone aiming for popularity the ques-
ton is dangerous one to discuss, but
it can be stated without tremor that
some of the Messengers suggestions
are timely and to the point; though
it is not made clear why most of
the churches should be closed in order to
finish the hospital in that town.

Reopening of the Vermont Dairy
School.

The sessions of the Vermont Dairy
School at Burlington, suspended in 1904
will be resumed this winter in the newly
completed Morrill, Hall. The term opens
Monday, January ID, and closes Satur-
day, March 7. The course is designed to
meet demand for short and intensely
practical training IN the handling of milk
and the manufacture of milk products,
1t is open to the creamery worker, the
dairymeD, to school teachers, to women
as well as men, to all, experienced OF
not, who wish to learn the present status
of the dairy industry.
The new building, costing sixty thou.
sand dollars, was built with especial
reference to dairy school work. Ter
thousand square feet of floor space; many
makes of power and hand separators; q
full and modern equipment in creamery,
farm dairy, market milk, pasteurizine
and testing rooms; eight courses of lee
lures on milk, feeds and feeding, breeds
and breeding, general agriculture and
animal diseases six practical laboratory
courses in creamery and farm dairy
work, in pasteurization and market milk
making, in testing milk and its products
and In the care of dairy machinery; daily
recitations and discussions; all these
ought to attract students who wish tt
put in a hard winter study along dairy
lines.
No entrance examinations are required
Students may be of any age above 49,
and either sex. A ter dollar fee is the
only school charge. Parties contemplate
ing attendance should write for circular
to Dairy School, Morrill, Hall, Burlington

The Steam Turbine.

1t is odd, indeed, that the steam tur-
bine is at once the most ancient and
the most modern Of steam engines.
Discovered more than 1900 years ago
it has but recently been developed and
already takes first place in the world of
power.
The earliest known steam turbine was
that of Hero, of Alexandria, and de.
scribed in his "Pneumatica" about the
year 1870 B. G. 1t consisted of a hollow
metal ball swinging on an axis; this ball
was partially filled with water and heated
over a fire, the steam escaping from two
bent MOBILES placed in opposition. AL
though it was but toy it involved all
the principles of modern reaction tur
bine. A second turbine was invented by
Branca, of Italy, in 1929 A. ID. This
was an impulse wheel, the steam being
impinged against paddles, and was used
to run saw mill. Edward Somerset, of
England, followed with device in 1850.
These turbines were the first forms of
steam engines, although they were never
developed commercially. The French
engineer, Tournaire, is entitled to par
ticular mention as having in 1853 indi-
Gated the capabilities of the turbine type
of steam engine. This was a hundred
and fifty years after the invention of the
first reciprocating steam engine and
nearly 1900 years after the discovery of
the turbine.
The first successful attempt in design
ing an efficient steam turbine was made
by DeLaval Swedish engineer, who
had considerable experience with high.
speed machinery from his work on cen
trifugal apparatus. In 1884, Hon. c. A,
Parsons, of England, produced his first
commercial turbine. 1t developed 10
horsepower and ran at $4,000 revolu-
tions per minute. In 1888 he built a 80
h. p. turbine running at a speed of 1000
revolutions per minute, and soon after
one of 200 h. p. This last machine COM
pared favorably with results obtained
from piston engines.
The steam turbine is constructed on
the same principle as the turbine whe ell.
That is, the steam, under high pressure,
is directed by MOBILES against set of
movable buckets or blades. The jets of
steam striking the blades turn the NOV
ing parts. 1t should be remembered that
the spouting velocity of steam at 1S0
pounds pressure is over 4, 900 feet second
This is velocity of 2,700 miles an hour,
or four times that of a rifle bullet. The
problem which had to be solved in de-
veloping the steam turbine was to utilize
such velocities mechanically. This fea'
ture retarded the advancement of the
turbine until recent years.
The Middlebury Electric company:
new engine is on the turbine principle,
and will develop 10 horse power.
