Savings Bank investments.

The Barton Monitor under its pres
ent management has always been a
champion of the principle that Yer
mont money should be kept at home to
develop Vermont business. This has
been the rule of the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank and the Monitor comment
ing on the fact, says:
Not so very long ago the Monitor
published an editorial on investing
money in Vermont, saying among other
things;
Invest your money in Vermont,
Trade at home, If Vermonters would
carry out these two simple rules there
would be less complaint of high taxes,
fewer of our young men would move
from the state and the problem of the
New Vermont" would be solved.
We are as thoroughly convinced OF
this truth today as We ever were, and
the fact that the Lamoille County Saw
ings bank and Trust company of Hyde
Park, c. s. Page, president, has made
it rule since its founding to make
no investments outside of Vermont
that 1t has never lost a dollar by poor
investments and that its assets have
just passed the million dollar mark, al
go to prove the truth of the statement
We do not know how far Vermont
banks in general make it rule tc
keep their money invested in the state
but we do know that this bank has
kept its money in Vermont, has adver
tised the fact, and has had phenom
email growth
This bank pays 4per cent compound
ed semi-annually on deposits of 500 OF

Some women exclaim at this, de-
claring that they must have air to
be cool, but the breeze that blows in
city streets is far from cool it is hot,
and the house ther mometer will go
up accordingly. Closing out the air
is leaf from the book of Southern
women, who, in a more severe
climate than we have, get throug h
a hot season with less Inconvenience,
as q rule, because their entire mode
of living is adapted to sultry days.
Out of door air while the sun is ur
is warmer than that of house OF
apartment and for that reason doors
and windows should be closed to ex-
clude it. OF course, curtains OF
blinds should be drawn to shut out
the SUI, and a dim light gives an
effect of GOODNESS, as it is soothing to
the nerves. As soon as the sun goes
down everything should be opened
and allowed to remain so all night.
The daily tribune., 1907-07-25

Thus plenty of fresh air, with its
night GOODNESS, sweeps through, and
the next morning when everything is
closed again, it is refreshing air that
is shut in for the day. This mode OF
procedure should be followed in the
country as we'll as in the city.
The sort of food one eats has much
to do with coolness of the body
through the temperature of the blood.
Beef, hot, thick, heavy chops and the
like should not be taken from thi
time on until autumn. Instead, cold
roast beef is nourishing and more
easily digested in hot weather, and
light broths or jellied soups are more
palatable. Cold food should be serv-
ed AS much as possible.

RAISE IN RATES cAUsEs
LUMBER PRICES TO SOAR


After October the price Of lumber
in Denver will experience an appre-
ciable rise, owing to an advance In
freight rates on lumber hauled to
that city from Pacific coast points.
The transcontinental freight bureau
has announced III increase Of 10 cents
per 100 pounds from the Pacific coast
to Denver, effective after October l..
This means that the group Of lumber
travelling under a Accent rate at
present will cost 80 cents hundred
to transport in the future, and that
the group which costs 80 cents a
hundred now will be raised to 10
cents. The latter figure is the high
est price paid for hauling lumber
from the coast to Denver, at present,
and it is not thought that lumber in
this group will be advanced. Cedar,
