While the advice given by the state
board of health regarding vaccination is
not being acted upon very generally here,
yet considerable number have promptly
complied, believing the old proverb that
IAN ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure No cases are looked for here,
no one having been exposed to smallpox
so far as known. There will be no pub
lie gatherings, however, for the present.
The teachers test now required to be
made annually in schools for trouble with
pupils eyes. ears, nose, or throat is of
great practical value. Parents and guard
ians are notified of defects found, and
many of them are readily remedied. Some
times the test shows that the needless,
careless child is so because of defective
hearing, and not from intention nor ma
liciousness sometimes that the backward
scholar or poor reader has defective sight. |
and well-fitted glasses enable him to gain
rapidly in scholarship. Cases of frequent
severe headache are often relieved by cor

The Food for Poultry in
Winter.

Much time and money have been spent
in what seems the almost vain endeavor
to make hens produce eggs in cold wealth
er. 1t requires but little experience with
poultry to learn the fact that, under or
binary circumstances, hens cannot pro-
duce as many eggs in winter as in sum
mer. Summer is the natural time for the
laying of eggs, and in order to increase
winter production there must be repro
duced for the fowls as nearly as possible
the conditions that exist in summer, Mrs.
John j. Layzell of Brandon, Vt, has
evidently succeeded in doing this with
her flock. She says: Il have been using

Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof
exists right here in Brattleboro. People
who testified years ago to relief from
backache, kidney and urinary disorders,
now declare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect. How can any Brattle-

The good work they are engaged in

Their songs and their singing are

recently made in the East proved
that barely per cent OF the people

"Detestable, Objectionable"
"repellant" were among the most

referring TO said signs Surely the

The whole populace is being daily

their wares by immense cartoons

NATIONAL PARK FOR TEXAS.

There is a bill fathered by Repre-.
sentative John II. Stevens OF Texa,
before congress providing for a gov.
eminent reserve and national park
in the Texas Panhandle, embracing
within It's 100000 acres the great
Palo Duro canyon, at the headwaters
of the Red River.
We understand the Texas legis-
lature has already passed the neces.
sary measure preliminary to making
the cession OF the tract OF land re-
Qiured, the same now belonging to
the school lands OF the state.
II is generally supposed that the
state of Texas in its entirety is one
flat, unattractlve plain, and some
people when told OF the beauties, aye
the glories of Palo Duro canyon, ex-
press the greatest surprise.
A national park to include this
canyon would be a sight to feast the
eyes upon, and be a wonderful agent
in inducing visitors to this great pro-
life state OF Texas. II is to be ar
IDENTIFY hoped that congress viii look
favorably upon the measure and al
low the Palo Duro national park TO
become an accomplished fact.

Policeman Lennix OF Pittsburg,

When Lennix saw the serious stage
to which his joke had developed, he
decamped and up to few days ago
had not since been seen. 1t would
be hard to devise a4'fitting punish
menCfor such an act. True enough,
he'found the twelve hobos ready and
willing to load up at his expense,
and he perhaps echoed their senti-
ments when he said they never had
had all the whiskey they wanted in
their lives, but one would think that
man vested with the powers of a
policeman would use his endeavors
and cash in another direction.

The Daily Trumpet OF Texco has
in Its every issue small item which
bears the caption The Daily Run
away" Why is daily runaway
made possible in Texlco? Is 1t not
possible to hitch standing horse,
that he may feel himself restrained
in case OF his being nomentarily
surprised or scared? It's wonder
some good big damage has not al
ready been done by these runaways,
but fortunately there's always some
one handy to stop them before any
thing serious has happened.
But then, a prevention Is surely
better than cure, and a little care
On the horses owners part would
do world OF good in that direction.
