THE pouLrNEY scHooL FIRE.

The possibilities of such fire as that
which crippled Troy Conference academy
at Poultney Saturday morning, with up
wards 81 two hundred students endan-
gered, are frightful to consider. The
escape Of all from the burning building
is matter Of very great satisfaction.
While perhaps It would not have been
possible To stay the progress Of the
flames, in view Of the start they had
made, The affair emphasizes the need
for equipping school domitories with
good fire fighting apparatus and, more
than that, the exercise Of extreme cau-
tion in the construction and maintenance.
That Troy Conference academy win re.
main permanently crippled is out Of the
question The school il doing too good
work To b. allowed To lapse, and the
Methodist denomination takes a partic-
ular pride nj keeping it up, as Indicated
by the fund voted promptly by the Troy
conference in session at Saratoga when
the fire occurred.

town Of Windsor Saturday. and curious

brothers, Maxwell and sherman Eyarts.

Sherm. is a Taft man. Maxwell won.

TO President Roosevelt and consequently
his opposition extends to the Roosevelt
candidate for the presidential nominal
tion, Secretary Taft. In other sections
OF the state there crops out quite q senti-
rnent in favor Of the New York man and
for other and more reliable reasons than
a personal hostility, too. The great bulk
Of the Hughes sentiment in Vermont is
based on thorough conviction Of the
New Workers actual worth and ayaila-
bility as a presidential possibility.

FRUIT AS A DRINK CURE.

A correspondent has sent up clipping
from fruit growers Journal, In which
a cure for the drink habit is presented.
Naturally enough, coming from fruit
paper, the cure is the frequent consump-
tion Of fruit. In spite Of an apparent
bias on the part Of the writer Of the
article, there is perhaps more Of truth
than mere fancy in the proposition ad.
yaneed. The writer states that twenty
FIVE years Of observation have convinced
him Of the value Of fruit as counter
active Of the craving Of desire, for drink.
The substitution off ruit for the Kelley
cure or some other agency for killing the
appetite for liquor surely can't do any
harm, for fruit il staple article Of
diet and something which the human
stomach has become accustomed to. If
there be any irtue in fruit as a fighter
Of the drink habit, it probably lies in
the fact that fruit II largely made up
Of water and, when eaten, allays the
thirst to certain extent. Water would
do the same thing and more, provided
people would drink it; but water pure
water--is tastelcss and doesn't please
the sense Of taste ike fruit. Hence the
adoption Of the fruit remedy instead Of
water. There is, however, a certain acid
ulous flavor to a great many kinds Of
fruit that possibly makes it fairly
satisfying substitute for liquor. Wheth-
er or not there is any efficacy in the
cure, as presented by the communication,
there can be no harm in trying it. And
we pass along the suggestion.
