STATE NEWS.

NJ. E. Williams of Craftsbury, has a
story that beats the one of the Castleton
man who recently found two snakes in
his spring, Mr. Williams having found
nineteen one day and three another.
Three of these were three and one-half
and the others about two and one-half
feet long.
The committee of the Roman Catholic
congregation at Newport, Father Cler-
mont and his attorney, F. G. Williams,
have raised $500 in reduction of the
debt of the new church, but it is neces-
sary to raise 5000 more. The agree
ments to the subscriptions which have
been sent out for signature, are not to be
paid unless the church is opened for SER
vice.
The section men who are employed on
the Barre and Montpelier branch of the
Central Vermont railway have received
notice that beginning Sunday, March
| their pay will be reduced from 81. 40 to
Sl.25 day. The pay of the section fore
man will be reduced from S1.85 to 81 LIS
day. This reduction is made in carry
ing out the policy of the road to reduce
expenses.
Reports having been current that the
depression in freight business would
cause the Central Vermont Railway
Co. to discharge large force, an inves-
tigation was made into conditions at Brat
tleboro which showed that there is little
foundation to the report as affecting that
place. Business is brisk at the freight
yard. While the record of last year is a
hard one to beat as the prosperity in
business circles was unusual, yet the re-
cords show that there is little dminution
in freighting, and no reason is apparent
to prove that there will be any discharge
of employees there.
| 1t is now learned that A. NJ. Titchout,
of Hardwick, 60 years old, was the
youngest veteran at the annual encamp-
ment of Vermont Grand Army of the
Republic, held in Montpelier last week.
The debt which has been hanging over
the Intercity Athletic Association 80
long will be wiped out as the result of
the fair held in Montpelier last week.
The net receipts of the fair cannot be
stated definitely as yet but they are prob
ably between 5000 and 500.

GRANGE AS SOCIAL ORDER.
A Query Well Answered by Series Of
Pertinent Questions.

Occasionally the question of admitting
to the grange certain members of the
community who are not desirable social
ly comes up for discussion Some men,
bers object to the introduction of men
and women of uncouth appearance. bad
manners, ignorant speech and general
Observation-Disclosures Others are ready to ad-
init all who apply. VIII you suggest how
far down in the social scale the grange
should go for MEMBERSHIPS w, Con-
necticut.
Your question is as old as the grange,
as the church, as society,%as govern
ment and as the human family, says
the New York Farmer. AS outside OBJ
servers we can hardly be expected to
answer 1t definitely for the members
of the grange. We can only suggest
that all the members of your COM
munity must be tolerated by you,
whether they are inside or outside of
the grange. Possibly, as you say, some
of them are not desirable socially"
but If you permit them to learn what
will make them desirable or endurable
socially will not your grange do a real
~ noble work by admitting them?
They do the best they know how. II
you enable them to know more they
will be able to do better. Once inside
your grange and in contact with you,
will not the uncouth by imitation be-
come less uncouth? Will not their bad
manners lose some of the badness and
be replaced gradually by the better
and pleasanter manners you will show
them? VIII not their awkward speech
be improved by hearing your more cul-
tured speech? VIII not those men and
women down in the social scale" feel
an uplift If you admit them to your
grange? Cannot you impart something
of grace, culture, refinement, education
and social regeneration to them with
out losing a jot of your own good
qualities? Cannot the grange be made
powerful social uplifter. purifier. edu-
Gator and renovator? So long as
single tenant or hired worker in your
community needs or desires to improve
himself or herself by entering your
grange, shall you have done your full
duty until you have extended the

ED.
Opinion Of q Prominent Bscter-
iposist Given at a Recent Lee
ture at Harvard.

Prof. H. c. Ernst in a recent lecture
before Harvard Medical school discussed
this theory at length. He claims that
consumption is not an inherited disease,
and that the children of parents who
have had tuberculosis are as likely to
grow up strong and healthy as children
of parents who have not. DIR. Ernst
further claims that the cardinal means
for curing this dread disease are plenty
of fresh air, sufficient nutritious food,
rest and exercise.
For centuries physicians everywhere
have recognized the value of cod liver
oil in the treatment Of consumption and
all wasting diseases, but unfortunately
few could take it with benefit on account
of the indigestible oil.
Vinol has solved this problem. 1t is
the modern cod liver preparation with
out oil, made by scientific, extractive
and concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, combining with peptonate
of iron, all the medicinal, healing and
bodybuilding elements of cod liver oil,

ALASKAN'S ROSY VIEW.
Says Nome Will Become Yellow
metal Capital of the World.

alaska fell off in its gold production
last year owing to several big strikes in
the mining camps, but we shall more
than make up for the decline in this
years output" said Mr.. Frank W. B.
Morris, of Nome, at the Rennert 1.-THE
amount of gold taken out in 1907 was
S1S 900, 900, but for 1908 it will not fall
far short of $50, 900 900, in the opinion of
good judges, putting it far ahead of
Colorado, the banner gold-bearing State.
If we were blessed with Baltimore's
superb climate, whereby we could work
eyery day in the year, instead of having
only about four months of operation. the
Alaskan mines would ere long be yielding
from $75,000,000 to 100000, 900 every
twelve months.

Grafton be the yellow-metal capital of
the world. 1t is a live, progressive, or
derby town of 5000 people in summer
and about 5000 in winter. All the COM
forts of civilization can be had there and
the cost of living is hardly more than it
is in Seattle. Nome is well-behaved
community. The saloons, it is true,
never close, but gambling and dance
halls have been abolished. Serious
crimes are of rare occurrence, for the
reason that there are no opportunities for
bad men to get out of the country after

NEW HAMPSHIRE GRANGE.

There Are 2s,2s6 Members of the

There are nineteen Pomona oranges,
with a membership of 1926 The
treasurer reported resources of the
grange at $25,S1GG0. The discussion
over taxation reform was earnest, and
the state grange went on record in pc
titioning governor and council to place
a farmer who would represent the ag-
ricultural class on the new state tax
commission. IL. o. Hadley was re-
elected master for the third term after
a spirited contest with Charles b.
Hoyt. overseer. G.. G. Yeaton of Do
yer and D. G. Westgate of Plainfield
were elected to the executive com
mittee. The grange went on record as
not in sympathy with the warfare
against corporations SO long as they
operate along legitimate lines. On the
other hand, it demanded that corpora
tionS shall keep within bounds and
it asked for such legislation as shall
be necessary to effect justice and equal
ity. 1t demanded that the farming in
terests be not unfairly burdened and
that railroads give no unfair advan-
tage to any section in market competi-
ton. The grange Endorsed the parcels

Meyer; also postal savings banks.

In order to avert in some measure the
tendency to money panics, though this is
not specifically stated, Sen. P. C. Knox,
Of Pennsylvania has introduced a bill
calling for the establishment of postal
savings banks. The plan is to authorize
the Postmaster General to set aside GER
tain postoffices as depostaries. To these
the people may send their savings, on
which an interest of two per cent. will be
paid.
1t is believed by many that if the pos
tai savings banks are patronized to a
great extent they will serve a most use
full purpose: that of being a large influ-
ence in the prevention of financial panics
in the future
Vermonters-at least those who invest
their savings at home-may not feel the
need of postal savings bank, as the
state has number of savings banks that
are conservatively managed and are not
embarrassed by every wind and wave of
depression; and in this, as in many other
respects, we are to be congratulated.
