Various types Of plated skirts ar
shown. In some the plaits are from tn,
belt but the new models are more apt {,
be plain at the top with plaits let il
below the hips or at knee depth. Gore,
and gathers are also used.
A distinctive feature of summer fash
ions is the variety of sleeves-sleeves fol-
various materials as cloth, silk and linen
for thin arms and stout arms and es
pecially the little over-sleeves of different
lengths and shapes. However, the lonl
close sleeve is considered decidedly smart
and more chic than newer sleeves.
The Dutch collars and waists with low
self-trmmed necks are more than ever in
evidence. Nevertheless, the high close
fitting collars are seen on dressy waists
and are refined and tasteful
Draped waists made over fitted Innings

are particularly desirable as they stay in

from the job of secretary of war into
the seat of United States senator
and the rest was as easy as thawing
vaseline on a red hot stove.
The story of how a political machine
was built is only incidental to the
career of the man of destiny. The ma
chine was built and well built. The
friendship list for the man of destiny
grew 1t was a club of hang together
boys and composed of the flower OF
political would-bes, could-bes, wanted

500 postmasters joined the club during
the IA years of its existence and about
80 government clerks, together with a
liberal assortment of custom collectors.
federal judges, district attorneys and
several score of minor Office holders.
Every member was expected to add
about 10 honorary but working mem
bers.
Meantime the boy of destiny was
polished up and sent to the legislature
as member. The chieftain thought it
would add little more lustre to the
man of destiny if he was allowed to
swing the hammer and suddenly the
legislature became imbued with the
same idea and voted that the man of
destiny should WELD the gavel as
speaker in the house of representa-
tives. Then the NJ of d got the habit
and went back as member again and
the club was acquainted with the fact
that the ex-speaker would like to be
the governor of the state. He. had
made a feint at the governorship in
1902 but second look at his hand dis

quit behind the game only to the ex-

at the governorship was not upon the

Whatever may be said regarding the
motives of the eminent DR.. Mead of Rut
land in coming to the rescue of the state
treasury the fact remains that the action
brought the Acknowledgements more ia
vorable publicity than anything else he
might have done. Very likely, as has
been said, DR.. Mead would not have been
so ANXIOUS to help out the administration
had he no desire to succeed Governor
Prouty, but such supposition has not
the slightest interest for the state officers
who received their pay in checks on the
Doctors account. They know if it had
not been for him they might have been
waiting yet, and therefore they are CRATE
full and no doubt willing to reeiprocate
when the time comes. We understand
DR.. Mead is not at all bashful in saying
when that time is.

The Reorganized Militia.
(St. Adams Messenger

Since 1898 the recognized militia has
been working hard to put itself into a
state of effectiveness for war, and It has
succeeded. thanks to more enlightened
state policy and high official interest,
thanks to the United States government
itself for its similar helpful reform, and
thanks to the self-sacrifcing labors of
Col. j. Gray Estey and his faithful Off,
GERS and men. The Vermont National
Guard is no longer mere dress parade
militia. 1t is highly organized, splendid
ly equipped, efficient second line OF de
tense ready for service in the field. Yer
mont has never had its like before.

An extremely sly brand of politics is

of the state are very careful, they will
find themselves the victims of governor

The deer damage question is one that
is bound to give trouble as long as the
law remains as it is. Take the case of
the Grafton orchardist who last week
called upon the county fish and game
warden to make an adjustment. Out of
800 threeyearold Wealthy apple trees
that had evidently been given the best of
care the warden found l47 damaged, 40
per cent of the number being total
loss. What adequate recompense can the
state make in this case? The orchardist
would not be repaid if he were to receive
the actual amount the trees represented
up to the time they were destroyed, and
it is safe to say he will not get half that.
Even if he made reasonably satisfactory
settlement his case would be good deal
like that of the real estate owner who
built block on which he expected good
return from his investment, then saw the
destroyed by fire and had to be
content with his insurance.

st. Adams is making determined effort
to bring about the erection of a 100000
hotel within her limits, and under the
leadership of the local board of trade
ought to succeed. Brattleboro would profit
immensely by the erection of summer
hotel here, and the present hostelries
would lose no portion of their patronage
The campaign for summer visitors which
the local board of trade carried out this
spring indicated that there are plenty of
people who would be delighted to spend
their vacations hereabouts if there were
suitable accommodations. And the people
to whom Brattleboro's attractions APP
pealed were apparently folks of ample
means anxious to pay good money for
first class service Within the immediate
vicinity of Brattleboro there are half
dozen excellent hotel sites. If within the
same radius there were only half-dozen
men willing to develop one of these sites
we might have something that would
prove as valuable an asset as an industry
employing scores of operatives.

From the August Delineator several

Nathan Straus explains how the dan
gers of the white plague, also of scarlet
fever, typhoid and other diseases from
milk supply may be avoided The sim
pie process of pasteurization consists in
bringing the milk to a temperature of 157
degrees and maintaining it there for twen-
ty minutes when all disease germs are
killed. 1t should be quickly cooled and
the bottles kept sealed after this process
is completed. This milk has not been
cooked to injure its flavor nor its quail
ties for digestion and food purposes. 1t
is possible to do this without special
utensils except the testing thermometer.
However. Mr.. Straus describes an inven-
ton which is not patented and may be
made by any timer for dollar in which
the milk is pasteurized without inconven-
fence. Every mother should use milk
thus treated for all young children-in
fact, for all family use unless the milk is
from herd tested and found free from
within year. In Chicago,
since January first, no milk is allowed to
be offered for sale unless properly pas
teurized or from the tested herd. 1t is
believed by insurance experts that the
use of pasteurized milk would
so reduce infant mortality as TO increase
the average span of life from IS to "a
years.

Contemporaneous with the reports OF
numerous automobile accidents in and adj
joining Vermont comes the story that
Walter H. Webb's 120-horse-power ma
chine was driven from Shelbu1ne, Vt, to
Troy, n. Y, 156 miles, in a few minutes
less than four hours and half, the 80
miles from Bennington to Troy being
covered in % minutes. For the sake of
the good name of the Vermont towns
through which this Joy ride is said to
have taken place, we hope the story is not
true. If it is, the men who participated
in it are guilty of criminal abuse of the
kind of abuse which not
only carries extreme danger with it but
which casts disfavor on automobiling in
general and thus harms the safe and sane
driver as well as the speed maniac.
