THE AUTOMOBILE CURE.

Motoring having been decried fol
a sufficiently long time as a nerve
racking sport, French physician,
DR.. Mounteyrat, now comes forward
with advice to use it as remedy fol
nervous and mental ills. One may
even cure anasmia and sleeplessness,
he assures us, by judicious motor
travel. From observations ON the
blood carried on during several
eight-day tours the doctor concludes
that the number of red corpuscles is
increased about twenty-six per cent
during trip of this length, the ef-
feet being much the same as that Of
a sojourn on high mountain fol
the same period.

IN MEMORIUn.

Died: at his home near Tilton,
Saturday morning at 2 as o'clock
Esquire Chas. N. Henri, aged SO
years. The deceased was sick for a.
bout the space of one week when
death overlook him. He was man
of generous impulses and never
forgot the hospitable ways of the
pioneer. The stranger even though
a beggar, never failed to find food
and shelter, if he sought it at his
hands, and he was at home by the
bedside of the sick and delighted
in all kinds of neigborly Offices.
He had borne adversely bravely
and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He
had filled the various relations of
life, as son, husband, father, broth
er, friend and filled them we'll,
who could do more7 When he died
full of years, and ready to be gath
cred to his fathers, the grief that
was felt over the close of his long
career was widespread and sincere,
His best monument will be the
good report that he has left behind
him in the community in which he
has lived for nearly 30 years.
Mr.. Henri was a member of the
Methodist Church and had just
taken the Iniatory Degree in the
Odd Fellows Lodge of this city and
exemplified by his pure and honor

TASK TO TRY THE PATIENCE
Jiqsaw Puzzle Can Be Made Really
Hard II One Goes About IL the
Right Way.

'The jigsaw puzzle may be very
difficult at first" said a victim of
the rage, 'but after you have put
one together few times it comes
easier to you. Somehow you get the
hang of it, and you get actually to
recognize some chunk that fits into
the trunk of a tree or the leg Of a
horse or the feather on hat, and
pretty soon you may come to be able
to put this puzzle together rather
rapidly and you say to yourself: ooh,
that isn't 30 hard
"But if you want something hard
just turn the blocks of the same
puzzle upside down and get the plain
side of the wood up, no pictures, no
lines, no guide whatever in putting
them together. just those jiggly
blocks with perfectly plain surface,
and then try putting the puzzle to-
gether.
''Then you'll find yourself with a
job on hand that will give you some
thing to do sure enough, that will
tax your patience really"

the following to its readers;
1T seems but as yesterday that with a
few quarts of type and an old hand press
we got out the first issue of The Courier.
That was 80 years ago, and here we are
again, opening a new volume Of the paper,

fast, the changes and conditions locally

and familiar faces of thirty years ago

on par with other towns of the state
there can be no question and we feel that
The Courier has kept pace with the place
During all these long years our faith in
Swanton has never failed and our hope
for its future is bright"

A BOLD STROKE TRIED AGATN.

The success OF tho Prohibition party
In Vermont in getting q law on the
statute books authorizing the state to
receive all moneys from liquor licenses
seems to have encouraged the Prohibi
tionists Of Massachusetts to present a
similar bill to their legislature, only in
a less abrupt form. It is proposed there
to gradually increase the amounts which
shall go to the state. At present, the
state Of Massachusetts, takes one-fourth
Of the fees; whereas it il proposed next
year to take half the fees, the following
year three fourths and the year after
that the whole amount. Vigorous oppo-
sition to the measure is being put up.
principally by the larger cities, which as
a rule vote for licensing the sale Of
liquor. Most powerful Of all is the oppo-
sition Of the city Of Boston, whose repre-
sentatives stated at recent hearing
that the city would eventually lose a
round million of dallars each year if the
bill becomes law and the state is al
lowed to take all the license fees.
Boston's protest as summed up in the
words Of Assistant Corporation Counsel
Arthur L. Spring is as follows;
1.-THE present liquor law, so far as
Boston is concerned, has proved TO be
the best way out of bad matter, and
the present system of regulating the
liquor traffic is imposed upon the city
by its citizens, and it works TO their
satisfaction. This legislation is nothing
but an attempt at prohibition, which its
advocates know they cannot secure by
fighting for it in the open, so they seek
it BY indirection through these bills
Their argument is unjust, inoandid and
specious to the last degree. The state Is
already beginning 10 feel the burden of
increased expenditures. but there is no
true finance in attempting to decrease
possible deficit in ths state treasury by
creating enc TO the extent Of 81 900 900
in the treasury Of Boston. such fnan
oeering viii never benefit the city or the
atate in the long run
Il is harlly probable that the Prohibi-
tisaists vin have the same success in

Municipal Building Problem.

Our progressive neighhors Of Montpei
Ter are actively discussing the question
whether TO issue bonds for $3.50 in
addition to the S125000 authorized for
the erection of city hall and whether
to authorize the issuance Of bonds for a
sum not to exceed 100000 for the pur
pose Of erecting high school building
A considerable period has elapsed
since Burlington erected 4 new city hall,
40 that we are not In 4 position to prof
fer advice on that particular question
which would have the merit of exper-
fence as a basis AS matter of fact
Burlington ought to be considering the
subject OF a new city hall for itself, and
the sooner it does this the more speedy
will be its accession to tho ranks Of
strictly mp to date cities, as regards
municipal buildings.
Burlington Is able. however, TO speak
out OF the abundance Of its experience
in relation to the erection Of high
schools and the benefits to be derived
therefrom The argument, jug handle
like. is all an one side. Considerable
doubt was expressed when the erection
Of Burlington's new high school was i'm
der discussion al to whether the city
could really afford the large expenditure
necessary. In the light Of subsequent
events. ii is plain the problem really in
volved was whether the city could af-
ford not to build this addition to our
public school structures,
The number Of school children in Bur
Iington has increased 10 rapidly that the
new structure was erected none too soon
On the other hand we know that the
splendid facilities afforded by this com
modious and handsomely equipped build
ing have not only attracted many pupils
from surrounding towns, but have also
induced considerable number Of fami
lies to move to Burlington in order to
secure the educational advantages AFT
fcrded, thus contributing TO the city's
growth.
A first class high school is one of
the best investments. all things consid-
cred city can make, and Montpelier
make no mistake if il provides Itself
with one Burlington FREQ Press.

MORE ABOUT HELL.
