The tuberculosis Exhibit.

We are reading too much about
tuberculosis exhibit at various points
in the state. There are too many OF
them seen every day without adver-
Using and arading them. Every good
citizen will cooperate cheerfully in I'M
proving such conditions and eradicat-
ing the causes without the object les
son of professional travelling exhib-
il. The term tuberculosis exhibit" is
not a happy one. 1t doesn't sound
well.-Hardwick Gazette
1t is difficult to imagine that such
f1ippant and thoughtless comment on
a serious subject came from a full
grown man. Ignorance and indiffer-
ence are the two great obstacles which
must first be passed before the fight
fairly begins with the most deadly en-
envy of the human race today Tuber,
culosis is to a large extent proven
table disease, and in good percen-
tage of cases it can be cured by prop
er treatment if taken in time. II is
an infectious, not contagious disease
and can be transmitted from an i'll
person to a well person by means OF
the bacilli which are thrown OFF in the
sputum. The danger lies in the UNI
broken chain maintained through the
transmission of the disease from one
person to another. If segregation
could be provided for all persons af'
hicted, tuberculosis could be practic-
ally stamped out in a short term OF
years Today it is scourge which
costs The country not less than 100000
lives a year and hundreds of millions
of dollars in pecuniary loss. 1t mum
bers its victims in far greater array
than diphtheria. measles, whooping
| cough, scarlet fever, smallpox and
cancer combined. To eradicate the
great white plague people must be ed
ucated to a realization of it's dangers,
so as to guard against it with proven
tive measures and to know how to
give it proper treatment when the dis
ease is already seated. In this cam.
paign of education such an exhibit as
that arranged by the Vermont state
board of health will be of inestimable
value. This is the kind of humani.
tarion work which should receive the
encouragement and support of every
thoughtful citiZen.-Brattlebor Phoe

the superintendent of the Industrial
school, Mr.. Barss. "the Judge Linds-
ley of Vermont" because of the SINH
larity in his treatment of the boys in
his charge.
Judge Lindsey told of 500 boys
from the Colorado Industrial school
coming down to Denver during the
Grand Army encampment and being
permitted to wander in groups all over
the city. absolutely without guards or
restraint. the only provision being
that they should behave themselves
and report at headquarters every
night Not boy ran away or got in
to trouble Just so Mr.. Barss takes
his boys and girls to Middlebury fair
and allows them to wander about the
grounds unguarded. They not molly
do not run away but they are the first
to observe the time, keep track of the
hours and see that the superinten
dents confidence shall not be mis-
used. Whatever stibma may have at
tached itself TO the reform school
in the past is disappearing. leaving
not n yestige of discredit in having
served a term" in that admirable
state institution.
Both Judge Lindsey and Supt. Bars'
subscribe to and practice the principl,
laid down in the following extract
from the Burlington address of the
| former:
| Your own boy is not safe unless al
boys are safe. and if we believe il
brotherhood we shall not turn oui
backs on the children. The police
man should be the friend of the bo!
and the boy should be the friend o
the policeman. But in many instance!
we see the state assuming the attitude
of the enemy toward the boy. If W,
are to understand the boy we mus
understand his environment. The diff
| terence between the bad boy and tn,
good. is the difference between enyir
onments. 1t Is absurd in dealing witt
a child to apply the same methods al
when dealing with a man. Fear 1:
the father of lies. If you want TO gel
the truth out of hoy first get the
fear out of him. The parent, whose
anger rather than love prompts pun
| ishment, soon has the hatred of the
boy and he gets Immediately beyond
parental control.-Morrisyill News

That Boy.

Judge Lindsey of the Denver Ju-
venile Court, has been in Vermont
the past week and gave two or three
lectures concerning his experience
with boys Here is what he says of
them and we commend this to stern
parnets:-
If you want to get the truth from a
boy, first get the fear out of him. The
parent whose anger rather than love
prompts punishment, soon has the ha
tired of the boy and he gets beyond
parental control All true obedience
comes from love and respect.
How true this is! How many boys
have gone to ruin because of the lack
of this affection on the part of parents
and how many have been made men
of because of a manifestation on the
part of parents of an interest in them

II. should be the purpose of this

tiers, and to stimulate an interest in
them to the end that we may all bet
ter understand the true value of our
forests-the best method of planting
trees for shade or the identifying of
our parks and private grounds.
THE indiscriminate cutting of our
forests without any attempt of pre-
serving the smaller growth of our
valuable trees, is fast destroying
the supply of lumber, as well as dim
inishing our water resources which
will be most unfortunate.
Our state has taken a long step

an expert forester. Let us follow his
teachings and thus preserve rather
than destroy our forests.
This year-being the three hun

Grafton of this great historical event
is to be held during the week begin

to make this week one long to be re
membered.
when Champlain first beheld ouI
beautiful lake, its shores were cover
ed with dense forests, and he. beine
a lover OF nature, speaks in his mar
rative of the magnificent pines which
he saw.
What therefore, can be more fit

This great discoverer?
The custom of observing Arbol

May the seventh, A. ID. 1909, as Cham

The Banner on Saturday printed a
list of the certified milk and cream
producers and dealers who sell their
products in Bennington and also a
statement from the health officer
showing the care and completeness
with which the work of inspection has
been done and the thoroughness with
which the dealers themselves have
taken hold OF the matter. AS Mr.
Stillson has shown, Bennington prob
ably has the cleanest and best milk
and cream supply of any town in the
state. and the result will undoubted-
" be that the dealers will get more
business. People will buy more of an
article that they know TO be pure and
clean than they will of food supply
under suspicion. This inspection and
certification marks one of the most
important steps ever taken in the
state toward the preservation of
health and the prevention of the
spread of disease. There are very
few other towns in the state where
the condition even approaches the
high standard set and which will be
in Bennington.

While IL is now generally agreed that
the death list in Terrebonne parish will
run between IS and 100, it is also agreed

reports of loss of life other than a child
of a fisherman, known to have beer
