the matter of dirty milk and its
causes to the attention of his listeners
in a forcible manner. One of the i'm
portant points that Doctor Harring
ton brought out was the great NOR
tally list of infants in large cities
caused by bottled milk. Cows milk
he said, was the most alien, dirty, and
poisonous food that could be given
infants. More than 9 per cent of the
infants who die in the large cities OF
foreign countries are victims of dis
eases caused by dirty milk or mill
which is infected The same is true
to great extent in our own country
He said the state of Vermont has 9

Feature Of the Day.

The Bennington baseball team Sat
urday afternoon again demonstrated
that 1t is several degrees too fast for
most OF the ball-tossing aggregations
in this vicinity by defeating the
Ostranders of Albany in two games
at Morgan Park. 1t was first class
ball on the part of the home team.
In the first game the Ostranders' in.
field was rather loose In its work
and the visiting pitcher, Guieer, who
has now lost three games to Ben.
nington, became rather disheartened
over his support. AS 1t was Ben
nington got only five hits and he had
six strike-outs to his credit.
Mcclure. who was on the slab for
Bennington, pitched a fine game.
Outside of the eighth inning when
two hits were mixed up with a base
on balls and wild pitch he had the
Ostranders stopped long ways from
the home plate. His support, too,
was gilt-edged, the only incident that
had any likeness to a misplay being
Lewis handling of throw to the
plate which allowed Mahar to steal
home.
Three new men made their first
appearance with the team, Banks
dale OF Pittsfield at first, Worthing-
ton in right field and Waters at
short. Barksdale demonstrated that
he is a finished ball player. He put
more ginger into the game than any
one man on the field. batted well and
covered his bag in fine shape. Wor-
Ellington didn't have a chance in his
garden but he was as lucky as usual
in reaching first base and showed his
usual speed between the bags. Waters
took his twelve chances at short In
the two games and batted strong.
He had two singles and a two-sacker
in the second game.
Lewis made his first appearance
behind the bat this season and no
fault could be found with his work.
He threw to bases in good shape and
gave the pitchers all the confidence
they needed.
The eight errors of the visitors in
the first game made the contest
rather one-sided but there was COM
pensation In the star fielding of the
Huckleberry boys. The score:

VOTE TO FEDERATE
Baptist and Methodist Churches of
Randolph viii Unite

The Baptist and Methodist churches
at Randolph have accepted articles of
federation and each church has APP
pointed committee to consider fur
ther plans for federation. The COM
mittee from the Baptist church is
composed of H. B. Bell, Mrs. Flora
Flint, and e. N. Rising and from the
Methodist church of DR.. A. G. Bailey,
o. b. Copeland and A. N. Hayes. The
articles of federation are substantially
that each church shall maintain its
own individual organizations and ben
evidences, while the Sunday services
Sunday school, young peoples socie'
ties and Ladies' Aid society shall
unite and the arrangements for all
these and place of worship be in the
hands of an executive committee
which shall provide pastor and ar
range all affairs of the federation. 1t
is expected that the Rev. Joseph Ham
ilton, pastor of the Methodist church
will act as pastor for the federated
societies.
A meeting of the federated societies
will be held in the Baptist church
this evening and a general reception
given to the Rev. w. S. Bradshaw and
family who will leave for the west on
the following day. Mr.. Bradshaw re.

MUST ATTEND TO BUSINESS
Frank Lewis Unable to Stay With
Bennington Bali Team.

FRANK Lewis Ondptc 10 otdy WIN
Bennington Ball Team.
R. Frank Lewis of Berlin played his
last game with the Bennington base
ball team when he caught in the dou-
BILE header against the Ostranders
Saturday and supported the two pit
cheers in unusually good shape.
Business reasons alone are respon-
sible for Lewis retiring from the
team. He says that he likes the
town, likes the people and would have
liked to stay with the team for the re-
mainder of the season but could not
see his way to do so. Together with
other parties he has interested him
self In the organization OF the Berlin
Electric Light and Power company,
capitalized at $4,000 and has been
elected superintendent He also has
charge of the construction work which
was begun today, and can not see
where he could possibly secure the
time to play ball and give the proper
attention to his business.
Few players who have worn the
uniform of the Bennington baseball
team have been more deservedly pop
ular than Lewis. He was hard, con-
scientious worker and the patrons of
the game knew that he could always
be depended upon for the best there
was in him. He was gentlemanly off
and on the field and has host of
friends in town who will regret that
he will not be in the game hereafter
but who will wish the new business
enterprise all kinds Of success.

Fassett for the Stars pitched excel
lent ball and used the best Of judge
ment while Harris behind the bat
played his part perfectly. Up to the
ninth inning the game belonged to
the Stars with tally Of 9 to z, when
the umpire gave two very bad decis-

20 INNING BALL GAME
Between the Eagles and the Local
Y, M, C, A,


What was doubtless one of the
longest and best game played in
this vicinity In years was contested at
the picnic at Glastonbury on the
Fourth between the Eagles and the
local Y. NJ. c. A. teams, the score be-
ing to 2 in the VS. favor. Twenty
innings were necessary before the re-
suit could be determined.
The Eagles scored twice in the first
and the Y twice in the fifth. Time
and again either team would get a
man TO third but fast fielding prevent
ed any scoring, In the fifteenth in
ming the Eagles had man on first
and second bases with no hands gone.
The next batter drove wicked liner
which Dean by remarkable quickness
pulled down, touched first and retired
the man at second thus completing
lightning triple play and killing the
Eagles chances of scoring.
Finally in the opening of the Goth
the Y by good clean hitting and base
running broke the ice. With a man
on second Nevis knocked out a two.
Dagger and later came home on The.
barge's single These two runs
proved sufficient as the Eagles were
unable to score In their half.
1t was game replete with fast
fielding and one which highly pleased
the spectators. Many cracks that
looked good were pulled down and
the batter retired. Each team made
but four errors throughout the 20 in.
nings. 1t was the kind of game in
which there was no individual play.

Wigs and Hair Powder

The pure white powder used on the
hair in Washington's time was made
from pulverized starch, scented with
violet or other perfume. The fashion
began in the French court (Charles
TX, end Of sixteenth century,. Those
having dark hair used violet and
blondes used iris. Even wigs we're
filled with II. The hair was creased
with pomade to make the powder
hold. At one time the hair powder
tax in England yielded nearly 500, 900
year. The French revolution
fastened the return to natural hair
The powder added to the weight and
the expense OF wigs, large quantities
being used, sometimes two pounds at
a time. In 1910 Gov. Barefoot of New
Hampshire wore powdered periwig.
Cotton Mather denounced wigs as "a
luxurious feminine protexity," and
thought an Indian war was direct
punishment from God for wearing
wigs. They caused much badness.
