PEACE DAY.

Peace day Is grandly set forth in the
pamphlet entitled May days" issued by
State Superintendent of Schools Mason
s. Store. In speaking OF peace day su-
perintendent Stone says:
To enlarge acquaintance among the ma
tons. to develop reciprocal regard. and
to minfy the causes OF international dis
putes, The Hague conference was called
May IS. 1893. In addition to The Hague
conference. various other organizations.
especially peace congresses. have assum
ed the cause Of International amity.
Attention OF the pupils on peace day
should be called to these larger rela-
tionships and to national interdepen-
dencc. Therefore, on May IS. the ninth
anniversary OF assembling of the first
Hague conference, you are requested to
devote 4 portion OF the day to exercises
through which the sentiments of peace
and unity may be fostered and the prin-
ciples OF right and justice may be
taught.

MIR. FOSTERS STRENGTH.

Evidence Of the strength OF Congress
man d. J. Foster Is to be found in the
fact that in spite of spirited contests in
all directions in Vermont, it is recognized
he can not be defeated for renomin alton
for Congress, no matter what the future
may have in store for him by way Of pro-
motion; and, although in the natural
course OF events the congressional con-
vention would be held in a little over a
month. no candidate has appeared against
him.
AS matter Of fact few men have ac-
complished more for their constituents
in the same period than has Congress-
man Foster during his time OF service in
the national House, and If the people of
Vermont next autumn should decide that
he is we'll prepared by experience in
matters of national legislation, natural
ability and wide acquaintance with mem
bers of both branches of Congress to give
them prompt as well as creditable serv-
ice in the United States Senate, it would
be gratifying to a host Of friends and
admirers.

OLD CANNON 4 CLOCK WEIGHT.
CFrom the kenncbec Journall

(From the kennebcC Journal.l
The most unique clock weight in Maine
is that of the Baptist Church at Cherry
field. an old smooth bore cannon. The
old cannon was one of the old smooth
bore type and was brought by Gleason
r. Campbell from Boston on one OF the
return trips of lumber vessels. 1t was
brought to fire salutes, as the stirring
DAYS Of the Civil War were at hand.
After announcing many Union victories
during the war. at the surrender Of Lee
in 1865 ii was taken out for a final and
great salute. Robert l.. Wiley, soldier
Of the war who was at home on fur
Tough, was in charge of the cannon, and
ure discharge of the gun throw Mr..
Wiley high in the air. filled his face
with powder and tore one arm off close
at the shoulder. The old gun was then
spiked by the angry citizens and did
no more salute service. When the Second
Baptist Church building was built in
1883, a weight being wanted for the clock
the old gun was used. For thirty years
il did clock duty until 1903, when it
once more received a baptism of fire
and fell in the ruins of the church con-
flagration that December. When the new
clock was installed in the new church
building in 1906 once more the old cam
non mounted the tower to do clock duty.

contests in the Legislature is along the
line of the comment quoted by the
Herald. Another feature of the situation
emphasized by the Herald follows:
As the Herald has already pointed out,
determined attempt will be made to
cripple the efforts Of the next Legislature
by sending senators and representatives
a senatorial tag. There seems to be no
desire to wait until the Legislators have
been elected and then undertaking a mis-
sion of proselyting but rather an intcn-
ton of leaving nothing to the fortunes
of war but of permitting the election

THE AUTOMOBILE LAW

The death of one man, the serious
injury of a second and the narrow es.
cape of two others as a result of the
recent automobile accident on North
avenue serve to emphasize the neces
sity Of enforcing a law which has been
allowed to become practically dead
letter. We refer to the law regulating
the speed at which automobiles may be
legally run.
Act No 1ls of the laws of 1906 pro-
vides that mo motor vehicle shall be
run on a public or private way laid out
under authority of statute in a careless
or negligent manner. II a person runs a
motor vehicle at rate of speed exceed
ing twenty-five miles an hour outside a
city or Incorporated village, or rate of
speed exceeding ten miles an hour within
city. Incorporated village or the thckly
settled part OF a town. it shall be prma
| facie evidence that the motor vehicle was
| run carelessly or negligently."
The law provides that a person who
| violates a provision Of this section shall
be fined not more than fifty dollars or
be imprisoned not more than ten days,
| or both for the first offense, with costs
of prosecution. and for each second Of
| tense said person shall be fined not
| not more than two hundred dollars or
| less than twenty-five or be imprisoned
not more than six months, or both. with
costs of prosecution" 1t is also provided
| that justices Of the peace, municipal
and city courts shall have concurrent
| jurisdiction with the county courts of
oNenses arising under the provisions OF
the act, so that there need be no diff
Guilty in bringing offenders to prompt
| justice.
In speaking Of this case the Bcnning-
ton Banner says:
| The fatal automobile accident at Bur
lington Thursday morning is an Illus
tration, not OF peril lurking in an auto
| mobile, but OF the danger, principally to
| themselves, when reckless, incompetent
| men get hold of one. Stupidity and care
| lcssness might render even a stone boa t
and yoke of oxen dangerous. The ma
chine has yet to be invented that is fool
proof
Unfortunately the rest OF humanity
has to suffer on account of the class to
| whom the Banner refers. Most people
would not be reckless. even If there
were no penalty for being so. but in
order to protect the people as a whole,
it is necessary to pass and enforce laws
like that quoted.
A reckless chauffeur not only endangers
the lives Of those riding with him. but
also makes it dangerous for people tc
frequent the street through which he is
speeding.
The only way for the authorities OF
the different towns to guard against
fatal accidents like that Burlington has
just experienced is to enforce the Law

efficiency.
the Prevalence Of This Disease Esti-
mated by = Physician to Cost south
Carolina e30,OoO, 900 . Year-Why
Some Mills Do Not Pay.

The people of the North will learn
with establishment OF the terrible ravages
of the hook worm disease or uncina ria
sis in the South. Its prevalence en-
plains the debility and anaemia of thou
sands Of workers. So general is it that
the United States government is about
to issue an exhaustive report on the
situation. Dr. Goldsmith refers to the
disease in his article on the Cotton
Mill South in the Boston Transcript and
has furnished a copy of an address de-
livcred recently before the Greenville
County Medical Association by William
weston, NJ. D., of Columbia. S. c., which
South Carolina Medical Associa ton. from
which the following excerpts are taken:
The condition which We recognize to-
day as uncinarasis has been known for
the last $500 years, Ii was present and
recognized in Egypt 1900 years before the
birth of Christ. From time to time since
it has been described in Europe under
various names, and attention has been
called to the condition for many years
m the Southern States under several diff
forcnt names such as Dirt Eaters
Anaemia,' CLAY Eaters Anaemia, ."
Negro Consumption, etc.
In lS'3 DIR. Blickhahn of ST. Louis was
the first physician in this country to give
an authentic account OF a case OF this
disease, yet he was under the impression
that he was dealing with the Old World
hook worm, and as the disease occurred
in recent immigrant from Germany it
seems possible that the Old World hook
worm was present. and not the New
World hook worm. But upon the repeat
ed suggestions of Or. c. w. Stiles of the
United states Public Health and Marine
hospital service. Dr. Ashford one of his
former pupils. demonstrated the disease
as existing in Porto Rico in 1900. and d.
rected the attention Of American ply
sicians to the disease Our present know
ledge OF the disease Is a demonstration OF
the fact that the disease as we see it
here is not due to Anchyiosto ma Duode-
male (the Old World hook worm), but to
different species which he has named
Cncinaria Americana.
Or. stiles defines the disease as a 70
oparastic disease found especially In trop-
ica and sub-tropical sand areas and
caused by hook worms which inhabit the
small intestines. I think. perhaps. Or.
stiles is partially wrong about the sand
areas. because. while the disease is ex-
tremoly prevalent in such areas. the
worst cases I have ever seen came from
a clay swampy soil and were invari
ably mistaken for malaria

KEEP THE BALANCE Ut.

It has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up when people begin to lose appetite,
or to get tired easily. the least impru-
dence brings on sickness. weakness, or
debility. The system needs tonic,
Graves it, and should not be denied it ;
and the best tonic of which we have
any knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
What this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance of health. gives it the

enjoys as a cure. Its early use has il

Secretary Root as follows:
