KNEW AL TO BE KNOWN.

He was a middle-aged man who had graduated from
the school of experience, who believed he was master OF
arts, with a diploma acquired by profound study OF the
world and SO he went out to make a call on a leading citt
zen at his superior country place. The leading citizen
was not at home, nor any member of the family except
the youngest daughter, a child Of IA or tIiereabcuts. She
tumbled out of a hammock and surveyed the strange
visitor with a cool, calculating eye. Sizing him up, and
recognizing no sign of the book agent or burglar about
his clothes, or his manners, she calmly bid him welcome,
until father should return" The visitor with a mental
shudder prepared to entertain mademoiselle, but to his
amazement she took that duty ont Of his grasp, and re.
marking that she presumed he would like to see 'the
place" somewhat ~haughtily indicated that she would take
him en- tour. So they walked to and fro, the middle-aged
man vainly trying to label or to approve with the right
word many beautiful objects on the millionaires estate,
but nothing futtered or amused the youngest daughter.
She called everything by Its right title, knew the different
breeds, the pedigrees of all the prize livestock, the botani.
cal names of every tree and precious shrub, and reeled
off information with all the icy manner of an expert and
specialist. Nothing jolted her. Finally they arrived at a
section Of the garden where laborers we're busy, and there
against the wall of a greenhouse stood a box filed with
beer bottles. The youngest daughter glanced at them.
With a tilt Of the head and a wave Of the hand, she said:
"And this is the Anheuser Busch!" So they passed on to
the next.

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience Of a physician
In his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing hour
ishment the worst way is valuable:
IAN attack of grip, so severe it came
neal making an end of me, left my
stomach In such condition | could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew OF
course that ! must have food nourish-
ment or ! could never recover.
II began to take four tablespoonfuls
OF Grape-Nuts and cream three times a
day and for, 2 weeks this was almost
my only food; 1t tasted SO delicious
that | enjoyed 1t immensely and my
stomach handled 1t perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was SO nourishing I
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts Is Of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks IN which the stomach is SO de-
ranged 1t cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
Il am convinced that were Grape.
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
m would save many lives that are oth-
erwise lost from lack Of n~ourishment."

The House discussed an important
measure two days last week affecting
many Vermont municipalities-the bill
proposing to tax water and power plants
and properties when they are located out
side the municipalities owning them, for
the benefit Of the towns where so located.
At present, under special statute. they
are wholly exempt. This is working in
Jury in some cases. A village, for in
stance, goes into a neighboring town and
acquires q valuable power plant to run its
electric lights. The plant, and not only
that. but all subsequent Improvements
and requirements, are lost to that town
for taxable purposes, resulting in a
shrinksge Of the grand list. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that this is wrong, but on
the other hand it is commended that city
or village that goes out after a water sup
ply or power privilege and develops and
improves it to the extent Of many thous-
ands OF dollars should not be taxed on
the betterments, undertaken solely for the
public good and not for profit. But the
difficulty seems to be where to draw the
line. The House is disposed to have the
whole property taxed in the town where
located, at its value in that town. The
Senate two years ago took a different
view, and 1t will be interesting to note
what that body now does with it.

The reorganization Of the court system
two years ago has been followed by inn
proved service, generally speaking, but
at tremendous increase in expense. Mr..
Fletcher, chairman OF the House ways
and means committee, said Saturday that
it was argued that the change would re-
suit In a saving to the state Of between
$4,000 and SIS, 900 but as q matter OF
fact, the expenses Of the department OF
justice had been increased between s40,-
900 and $4,000. Since then the present
assembly has increased the salary of judges
$1,000 apiece, or $4,000 in all, not to
mention lifts in probate judges and
county clerks salaries and putting sher-
IFS on a salary basis. It does seem that
for small state justice in Vermont is 9
pretty costly luxury.
