The Mayor Of Toxic.

Richard Carle s funniest piece, The
Mayor of Toxic, is coming very soon.
1t is said to have more tuneful,
catchy music than any comic opera
ever written. The company that Man
ager Joseph M. Gates has organized
for the exploitation of The Mayor of
Toxic this season is one of the largest
and most capable ever seen outside of
New York, and is practically the same
that made the long runs in Chicago
and New York. The piece has been
equipped with an entire new dress OF
scenery and costumes and the produc-
tion in every way is said to be a de-
light to the eye as well as to the ear.
John L. Kearney is leading comedian.
He is well known here and an en-
thusiastic reception is guaranteed.

Hapgood Roosevelt Third Termer.

Editor of Reformer:
| notice my name suggested by a
state daily up north as delegate for
the national convention at Chicago.
Now if the members of our state con
vention should choose to elect me as
one who has emo irons in the fire, ~
and no connection whatever with any
machine politics-as one who has been
thorough supporter of Theodore
Roosevelt from the very beginning,
and would use his best efforts for his
denomination, believing that notwith-
standing any previous declarations he
is still Influenced by deep regard for
the true interests of the country at
large; and believing that what we
want is not an "imitator' or a "dis-
cfple" but the genuine, Simon-pure ar
ticle, to complete the struggle, so nobly
begun, against fraud and corruption
in high places, and for the develop
ment and preservation of our national
resources now so ruthlessly assailed,
| should be pleased to serve as such
delegate.
And as a delegate to the state con-
vention 1 shall give my support to
such a line of action. And 1 believe
that the heart and mass of the people
at large are in full sympathy with the
above sentiment. The only question,
in my opinion, is whether the heart
and mass of the people will be truly
represented at our state convention by
persons of fearless and courageous ac-
ton. M. J. Hapgood.

IMPURE MILK AND DISEASE.
Instructive Address by DR.. Holson Be.
fore Young Peoples Union.

pF, llenTy u, ilelton gave an address

eases at the open night of the Young
People . Union Tuesday night, III
spnkc N particular of the work that
has been carried ON throughout ths
state since the enactment of the pure
food Law by the last legislature, shor,
N after the passage OF this act milk
throughout Vermont was examined
aud about two thirds 0f il found "a
be- dirty, AZ that time dealers said
that they were doing everything pos
siblc 60 pTrVeni th. milk from bcoom'
ing contaminated but fear of proseeua
tiDn has caused them % be more
careful and today but one.thifd of the
milk is found 80 be unrlean. The
method pursued by state authorities
has been 10 buy samples Of milk from
dealers aud send the product sealed TO
the state laboratory whcr. thorough
analysis Is made. II the milk is found
90 contain dirt the man who sold the
milk is warned aud an opportunity
given him 10 meet the requirements Of
the statute. This work II done by the
local boards of health.
In regard 90 diseases transmitted
through milk Dr. liolton said the prin.
cipal one is tuberculosis, although ~.
phoid fever and scarlet fever common.
~ come from the milk supply. A great
deal, however, has been done in the
way Of improving conditions, Stables
have been made much more sanitary
aud great care has been taken in en-.
couraging the farmer 10 drain his sta.
bles and TO see that they are ligh, and
airy. Many disease germs come from
foul stables and the correction of this
condition on the part of the farmer
today is doing much TO prevent the
loss Of life from this source. In just
this same way is the COW kept healthy
and in proportion 10 the number of
stables kept clean is the number of
cows affected with tuberculosis les
sened
Dr. llolton did not place all Of the
blame on the farmer and the milk
dealer, however. The good housewife
came in for her share. The dust which
collects on pans set out at the door
without covers is source of disease
germs and also a means of contami.
mating the milk. Again when care is
not used in washing milk reeeptacles
dirt is bound 10 collect on them.
