GOOD WORK on A MODEST SCALE

From the Barre Times.)
On modest scale, the Vermont sani-
forum FOR treatment of persons suffer-
ing with consumption seems to be DONG
well. The progress must needs be on
II modest scale because Of the lack of
Accommodations for the reception of n
large number of patients. OF the thirty
two patients received since the opening
of the institution last December, eight
have been discharged. six at least with
the disease arrested or the patients ap-
parently cured, while the other two
showed no change in their condition. Ev-
eryone Of the twcnty-four other patients
received in the past Ave months has
made n gain in weight. running from
one to twenty-sevcn pounds, or an aver
age of over eight pounds per patient.
In considering these results, 1t must be
borne In mind that none OF the patients
received was in very advanced stage
of the disease which may partially ac-
count for the very successful report.
The institution was not designed to take
those who were past the carly stages
Of the tubercular trouble; SO the man
ayers were acting w.,hin instructions
when they refused admission TO seven
teen applicants, hard as 1t may seem
to turn away any who come More OF
the patients have come from Rutland
and Addison counties than from other
counties. but that does not indicate n
greater prevalence of the nalady in
those counties. Tho reason is probably
to be found in the fact that the insu-
tuition is located in Rutland county and
Addison county Is contiguous to Rut-
land: hence the institution Is drawing

GOOD TIMES ARE COMING BACK.

I hope that the young men-and old
men. too--all have work. If they have
not. they will have soon. This nation Is
too big to be ruined, too big to stop
long. Tho business of the country Is not
going to stagnate or w!ther 1t Is going
on. There is too much wealth in the In
terror, too much property on tho surface.
too much harvest on It's board acres too
many factories, too much money that
has got to be invested to be safe, for us
to halt very long. We have had little
scare, It Is true. but nothing more. And
1t does not take vcrv long to recover
from a scare. II It were a disease. in
stead of fright it would be different.
But the country Is sound. The country
Is ALWAYS full of opportunity. i have
had opportunities all over the country
myself And there always Will be oppor-
tunitie. everywhere. we have heard that
sublime nonsense about half dozen
men putting the world in their pockets
and not letting anybody else get any.
Why. any young man may be one OF
those half dozen some day Those men
are not going to live forever. II they
had Methusclahs prospects OF life. 1t
might he n serious matter, Men get rich.
and then they get fat and get dyspepsia
and die. The Lord takes care Of that.
The material outlook Is very encourage
ing. And we won't blame the successful
and the prosperous, because We all
want to be prosperous ourselves. Let us

gerous antagonism to wealth that flows

ance. out Of Union Square and other

THE PRICE WOMEN PAY FOR
LIBERTY.

To-day the young man OF fashion mar
ries the girl with whom ne has ridden.
rowed climbed. fshed, hunted, played
tennis and golf. He knows she's good
sport and the finest girl in the world.
hut if he ever thought her a saint that
idea Is knocked out of his head long
before the wedding day He doesn't boost
her by the elbow over every little rock,
because he knows she can climb better
than he can He doesn't calamity give
her points in games. because he knows
that II he does she'll beat him.
And so It is with the women in the
professions. in the arts, and In business.
There they meet men as fellow workers,
tust as the more idle women meet them
as fellow athletes. They are drawn to-
ether ny common interests, and In the
cases where love and marriage result. the
common interests remain and form SER
viceable and stable background for the
romantic foreground. But the man who
works in the same Office with n woman
can't bob up and offer her his chair
every time she comes into the room. He
wouldn't have time to do anything else,
He can't stop smoking when she Is in the
room. IF he did he might as we'll give up
smoking altogether. IF he happens TO
keep his hat on in the office It doesn't
show any disrespect toward tho women.
It's simply n habit that Is bad FOR his
hair. This wholesome comradeship In
work and play insureS n mutual knowl-
edge before marriage Which is certainly
more secure basis for permanent hap
piness than are romantic dreams. There
Is slight danger that lovers will thus be-
come too practical.
The flowers Of chivalry are fading The
old IA shioned lady Of runs and feathers
and perfumes has indeed fallen upon evil
days. Elaborate compliments are few
and far between. The courtly gallantry
of the dominant male for the fair and
the weaker SEX no longer fourishes
The fral parlor girl is no match FOR tho
vigorous golf girl. The old dowager OF
forty IL no match for the sprightly mid
dlc-aged woman of sixty. The new
woman" Is not as new A. she was. with
each few years she becomes less ur-
couth and better understood. She Is
fast learning that she hampers rather
than promotes the interests of her sen
by aping men. She Is coming to realize
that feminine charm Is just as potent Q
force In the twentieth century as ever
It was In the days of chivalry. She Is
beginning ia understand that the sacr
/ fee Of her womanlness Is far too heavy
a price to pay for independence. and that
by no such sacrifice will She ever receive
| from men the justice she seeks. The old
| fashioned woman. on the other hand
| like her pug dog. is fast passing. She
will be. In no very distant future, q
| memory Of the past, like the mast odor
of bygonc geologic ages She cannot sur,
vive in an age in which Justice and In,
dependence are supplanting fattery ant
gallantry.-From the June Appleton's

THE HOUSEKEEPER'S
HERB GARDEN.
ny Alice T.. Whitaker.

Less Importance Is now attached to
herbs and simples than in the day when
It was asked. "Why dies the man whose
garden sage affords?" Yet II one has a
few square feet of ground it is conven-
fence and economy to have a bed OF
herbs. In the course of the year con-
siderable sum Is paid for sweet herbs
for seasoning, parsley for garnishing
and lavender flowers for giving sweet
scent to bed linen and garments. To get
the greatest results it is best to buy n
few plants Of sage and lavender rather
than sow the seeds and these plants
will furnish a perennial bed If properly
cared for and renewed by cuttings from
the original plants. Parsley will grow
easily anywhere among other things and
every few weeks seed can be put in TO
keep the supply fresh until frost comes.
Thyme. rosemary and summer savory
are not appreciated as much as they
should he. They can be used alone or
mixed in different proportions and give
a variation from the commercial sea-
sonings which taste the same every
time
If one has enough ground to have a
kitchen garden, even If 1t be small, 1t
Is well to try okra. which is one of the
iiloSt VI anu l'dSt valued vegetables.
What is not used in season can be dried
and used IN soups and stews in winter.
