TO
MARRIED Men

During the past six or eight weeks
the Water Department has practically
refused to hire unmarried men for
work on the streets, preferring, owing
to the stringency of the times, to give
employment to men who have families
dependent upon them for support.
These outside men receive twenty
cents an hour for their work, and labor
on an average Of forty-eight hours a
week, bringing their earnings to $3.50
for the six days, providing the weather
does not interfere.

How 70 Make Sins For Waists.

How 70 Make slips For Waists.
Slips to keep fancy and dressy waists
free from dust when hanging in the
closet may be made Of cambric o.
some other cheap material. They are
made Of two oblong pieces Of mate
rial sewed together in exactly the same
manner as a FELLOWSHIP is made. 1t
does not need to be as large as a pill
lowslip, but it must be plenty large
enough, so that It does not crease the
waist. On one side of the opening at
the top sew two buttons, each one six
or eight inches from the ends. On the
opposite side in corresponding places
work buttonholes. Place the waist
over a hanger and draw the slip up
over It, then button at the top, and
you will have a fine protector for your
waist. Slips for skirts may be made
in the same manner, making them lots
longer, of course.

DISTEMPER IN DOGS.

How to Detect and Cure This Dreaded
MSlady.
Distemper, one Of the most dreaded
among dog illnesses, is an affection
which is microbian In its nature and is
susceptible OF affecting the greater
part of the organs. 1t is therefore ex-
tremely variable in its manifestations.
says the New York Herald.
Should it take the form Of gastro-in.
testinal catarrh it then offers as symp-
toms vomiting and diarrhea. with a
general feverish state, characterized by
a profound depression, a wretched ap-
pearance Of the face. which the state
Of the eyes, filed with a thick mu.
eous pus, only tends to make worse.
In this case ice must be given in
small fragments to stop the vomiting,
and the diarrhea must be combated by
a potion with a basis Of salicylate of
bismuth and sirup of ratanhia. 1t is
well also to feed the sick dog exclu-
sively with boiled milk to which has
been added some vichy water.
If the suffering animal coughs and
elects from the nostrils a thick liquid
which forms crusts when dry, these
signs prove that it is the respiratory
tract which is attacked. 1t is well then
to give fumigations with mallow and
elder flowers and eucalyptus leaves
and a vOmitive Of sirup Of ipecacuan.

cough does not give way, recourse
must be had to calming potions Of
sirup of poppies or belladonna and to
bromide Of potassium.

The form Of the disease least to b'

be called to conditions which have had
more to do with this situation than
anything else.
You refer to emigration of sons and
daughters all true, but the farming,
manufacturing, and other interests in
the state, must be carried on, as usual.
This labor comes from Canada and
other foreign lands, and from all we
know is quite unlike in character and
education that which Vermont has so
generously furnished to other states,
and has been so highly appreciated by
their new environment.
In the great west illiteracy is growing
less, and in the localities where this
is most apparent. the republican party is
in the ascendancy The best answer to
this calumny was the magnificent
majority rolled up by grand old Yer
mont Tuesday, in favor OF the party OF
progress and enlightenment.
Respectfully yours,
OSCAR L. WHITELAW.

The Vermont Election.

The democrats are welcome to get all
the satisfaction they can out of a re-
publican plurality in this state exceeding
$4,000 which is nearly 5000 above the
average in presidential years. Their
candidate, the Burlington blacksmith,
put up an energetic fight, making, we
believe, more speeches than any other
speaker in the campaign. There were
no special issues at stake in the repub-
lican party and yet that party scored on
election day victory that promises
well for a greater victory in November.
If the other towns in the state had
made as poor a showing as St. Johns
bury the republican ticket would have
been defeated throughout the state. In
this town there was falling off of 800
in the republican vote of four years ago
and democratic gain of about $50,
The republicans in St. Johnsbury ought
to have interest enough in an election to
come out to the polls.

Election Echoes.

Roxbuty elected Theodore B. Kendall,
democrat, town representative on Thurs
day afternoon, having balloted IA times
The defeated republican candidate,
Carlos Rich, says he will contest the
election.
Justin Beardsley OF Alburg, the demo-
cratic candidate for states attorney, de
feated the republican candidate. Mr..
Beardsley is not lawyer and his cleo
ton proved general surprise.
Chelsea will be unrepresented in the
next legislature as they had Is ballots
without any choice and then agreed to
give up the fight. There were two
republicans and one democrat in the
field and all three candidates were
farmers.
OfSt. Johnsburys election the Rutland
Herald says:
"Harland B. Howe is democrat
whose election as St. Johnsbury's repre-
sentative seems to be in the nature of a
protest against the close corporation
that has undertaken to control that
towns politics in late years. Mr.. Howe
is a vigorous campaigner, a good
speaker and will add strength and color
to the present assembly"
P. S. Grow, 96 years old, of Bristol
went to the polls last week Tuesday and
voted straight republican ticket as he
has done at every state election since
1910, when he cast his first presidential
vote for William II. Harrison
One Of the hottest fights for townrepre-
sentative in the history of Middlebury
ended Wednesday night in the election of
Allen Calhoun, republican, by majority
of five votes on the 11th ballot, after Il
hours of almost continuous voting, The
contest doubtless would have been pro-
longed had not Dr. D. c. Noble, who en-
tered the fight on the fourth ballot, with
drawn at the last, leaving the field 10
Calhoun and Ira H. LaFleur. All of the
contestants were republicans.
OfSt. Johnsbury's election of demo-
crat the Brattleboro Phoenix SAYS:
"St. Johnsbury paid remarkable tri-
butte to a remarkable man, when that
strong republican town gave Harland B.
Howe, democrat, majority of 412,
Ern.,1- l.
mess man, running as the regular repub-
! lican nominee. Mr.. Howe has made his
mark as one of the ablest trial lawyers
in the state and he will be influential and
useful in the House. Perhaps the demo-
Gratis will make up in quality what they
lack in quantity in the legislature.
