Women Who Are Envied

lovely in face, form and temper are the
envy Of many, whomight be like them.
A weak, sickly woman will be nervous

eruptions and wretched complexion.
For all such, Electric Bitters work
wonders. They regulate Stomach,

owe their health and beauty to them.

doubtedly of great service TO its com
munity and to the state in which its
opinions may be circulated In fact,
the day of the strictly party and par
tisan newspaper has practically ex-
pred Even the personal news
paper taken and read on account of
the view of a certain individual, is
pretty well discounted in these days
The tendency is more and more to-
ward demanding both sides of a ques-
ton and reading newspapers as me-
diums of information, rather than
textbooks of opinion.
Oldfashioned people are apt to say
that this condition results from the
lack of great, dominating minds in
the editorial rooms of the leading
newspapers today, and this may be
true, in part 1t is also true, how
ever, that Greeleys, Danas, BENEFITS,
Reds and Godkins would have a diff
cult task today in getting circulation
on editorial merit. The news, first
freshest and most uncolored, is the
ideal of the decent newspaper of to-
day, with a thoroughly unpartisal
comment thereon as an editorial ac-
compartment.
The average man wants informa-
ton more or less correct, in his
home newspaper. and is generally ca
pable of forming his own conclus-
ions.
This is even affecting Vermont,
where. a few years ago, the editor
who dared to criticize party leaders
and party policies would be summon
ed before the bar of republican sen
timent for contempt of party. Ere
quently. indeed, the leaders of that
party were able. through their great
influence, to do the daring editor
serious injury through his circulation
and advertising business
Today the politician who can in
jure an Independent newspaper needs
to be a pretty big advertiser Even
then, the chances are nine in ten that
he will not dare to withdraw his bust
ness, because advertising today is
not matter of favor, but of cold
business.
There are hundreds of advertise
ments running in state papers today
that advertisers would gladly with.
draw for personal reasons, but know
better than to do so for business rea-
sons
The Newspaper whose editorial par
agraph heads this article is perhaps.
scarcely an ideal type OF the indie
pendent paper 1t is true that it is
neither republican nor democratic,
but neither is IL much of anything
else. 1t has no opinions worth men
tioning and tries to conform to the
news principle entirely. 1t tells all
the news it can get hold of, but takes
no part whatever in shaping public
opinion on issues that arise out of
the news. 1t therefore neglects
most important, if secondary func-
ton of its office
Vermont newspapers, however, are
generally pretty well out of hobbies
and tethers and say what they think
or nearly so A state campaign of
education, with state papers all pull
ing together, would be the greatest
thing that ever happened in Vermont
1t would beat party platforms and
conventions to death, because its re
suits would begin before the cam
paign, last until after the campaign
and continue between campaigns

TROLLEY LINES AS CONNECTING

1t looks like good business move
to extend the Mount Mansfield cleo
trio railroad from Stowe to Morris
vile and perhaps to Hyde Park. Rail
trip from Morrisville to the capital of
the state is now made by travelling
about twenty miles further away
from Montpelier and then almost
doubling on the same tract. If the
proposed extension Is made there
will be almost a direct route from
Morrisville, connecting with the Cen
trail Vermont railroad at Waterbury.
Such a line would tap quite a popu-
lous territory, too.-Barre Times.
If the experience developed out of
electric railroad construction into
Bennington furnishes any basis for
conclusion, the Mount Mansfield
Electric Railway company will find,
once that it extends its line into Nor
risville, that the through traffic be-
tween Waterbury on the Central Yer
mont and the other proposed termin-
us on the Boston and Maine Will
come to be a large factor in the fu-
ture success of the property. At
present the Mount Mansfield road
merely connects the town of Stowe
with the outside world and the traf
fic is all local.
The two electric lines running into
Bennington, the Bennington and
North Adams and the Bennington and
Hoosac Valley, both form connecting
links between the termini of steam
operated roads and for this reason
are largely used by persons who are
passing this way on extended jour
neys. This through traffic is bound
to increase every year as the conven-
fence and lower rates afforded by the
trolley lines become more generally
known, but even at the present time
it is fairly safe to state that the rev.
enue gathered from this source is the
balance that keeps the roads in OPP
Grafton.
The Mount Mansfield road has ex-
perienced hard shedding" at different
periods in it's career and the reason
for it is undoubtedly the fact that be-
cause of its location 1t has no through
traffic, especially during the winter
months when the operating expense
is heavier.
A through trolley line from Water
bury TO Morrisville would be extern
sively used by the travelling public in
central Vermont for the reason that
it would cut down the mileage in
many instances. At present to reach
many points in Lamoille county and
the country to the north, persons liv-
ing in the vicinity of Montpelier must
either go around by the way of Essex
Junction or st. Johnsbury, necessi-
tating several changes and travel
over three different branches of
steam roads. The strange feature of
the situation Is that the owners of the

When to Feed Poultry FOOD

There is a prevailing notion with a
certain class of poultrymen that 1t
doesn't pay to force laying fowls dur
ing the warm summer months-tnat
they will get along very well with or
binary food and what they can pick
up about the yards. That this opfn
ion is not shared by the most pro
gressive poultrymen is shown by the
fact that not long ago the manufac-
turers of Pages Perfected Poultry
Food" inquired of some of the prom
inent poultry breeders of New Eng
land as to what they considered the
best time In which to feed this food.
ID. j. Lambert of Apponaug r. l., who
Is famous as breeder of high class
poultry and one of the best known
in New England answered as follows,
I'VE feed Pages Perfected Poultry
Food every month in the year.

this food and the best ways of using
it write c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
