Health and Beauty Aids
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

G. j.: Yes, my advices from Paris
are that this years fashions will do
away with the wearing of rats, puffs
and all forms of false hair. l wei
come this return to common sense
in styles and / am sure no woman
will suffer embarrassment If she takes
proper care OF the hair with which
nature endowed her. The use of
the right tonic will nourish the scalp
and the hair follicles, prevent the
hair coming out, and keep ii glossy,
fluffy and lustrous-so that a small
quantity of hair properly cared for
and richly glowing with its own nat
ural color (eyen if it be gray is
more attractive than a huge mass of
coarse and dead looking false hair.
Get from your druggist one ounce
of quinZoin, dissolve it in one-half
pint of alcohol and add one-half
pint of cold water. Rub this tonic
gently into the scalp and roots Of the
hair once or twice a week. This
treatment will kill the germs that
cause dandruff and falling hair. 1t
is very invigorating, nourishing and

Mrs. c. McF.: To secure the clear,
fresh and soft skin you say you envy
so much I advise you to use almo-
zoin cream jelly both as a massage
and face cream. This contains no
oils or fats that will make the skin
dark and greasy looking, or cause a
growth of hair. Get from your drug
gist one ounce of almozoin and dis
solve it in one-half pint of water,
then add two teaspoonfuls of glycer-
inc; stir briskly for a few minutes
and let stand over night. Almozoin
cream jelly, used for massaging,
clears the skin of blackheads and
pimples not caused by impure blood
or the result of functional disorders
1t makes large pores small and keeps
the skin smooth. soft and pliable. It
is a thorough, cleanser and will re-
move dirt that soap and water never
touch.
NJ. X. j.: When your eyes so cas-
lily become dull, red and inflamed it
is an indication that you need an eye
tonic. Bright, clear and sparkling
eyes are a charm to any woman,
while on the other hand it requires
an unusually beautiful face to offset
eyes. You can make an
excellent eye tonic by dissolving an
ounce of crystos In a pint of water. |
One or two drops in each eye will /
promptly relieve your eyes of dull |
ness, Fedness or Inflammation. 1t |
does not smart or burn and will |
strengthen your eyesight. Crystos is

NJ. H. r.; Don't borrow trouble |

Most of us gain weight in winter.
Don't diet; it is weakening and US

it will help you to regain your for

Bennington may not win the cham
pionship of the four team baseball
league, in fact it looks now as though
it is beyond our reach but that should
not blind our eyes to the fact that we
have had this year in Bennington the
best baseball ever seen In this part
of the state. While Bennington is
less than a quarter the size of North
Adams or Pittsfeld we have had un-
der the management of Manager c. S.
Higgins and the local board of direc-
tors team that has compared more
than favorably in every respect with
those of the two Berkshire cities. It
is credit not only to Mr.. Higgins
and the directors but also to the peo-
pie Of Bennington who have support
ed the team Loyalty and generously.
We should like to win the champion
ship but on the whole we are much
prouder of the good clean sport we
have had and are having, the high
character of the team which has rep
resented Bennington and the proof of
public spirit that has been shown in
its management and support.

A Matter of Logic

Commenting on the newspaper dis
cussion of the activity of the corpor-
atoms and railroads in Vermont
politics, the St Adams Messenger
says
The Messenger would not dis
courage the good brethren in the
campaign begun by the Burlington
Free Press In which they and the
Enosburg Standard have enlisted, If
there is any definite and very serious
object in it, II some impending crisis
is TO be ayerted, or some great wrong
to be righted. The Messenger Is
just as much in favor OF the proper
regulation of corporations as any
reasonable newspaper can be, IL
thinks, but It has discovered no signs
of fright in the present situation.
II the railroads are actually prepar-
ing to capture the state, they are
mighty quiet about the preliminaries.
Thus far the declaration Of war is not
specific enough TO suit this paper. II
would like few facts before taking
up arms This may turn out to be
merely Jabberwock."
The same logic that is employed by
observing men I'm connection with ma
tional affairs and from the every pub
lie act OF Aldrich and Cannon, pro-
nounces those distinguished reaction.
aries the friends and champions OF
special interests, applies In state az
fairs and points unerringly to condi-
tions to which the Free Press, Mont
pelier Journal, Morusyille Messenger
and this paper have referred.
Aldrich and Cannon do not employ
a brass band while engaged in block
ing progressive legislation, but they
get In their work, and the Messenger
among others, has done notable ser
vice In directing attention to the tenn
permanent Of these men which natural
ly align them with corporate and spe
cial interests.
The Hon. John Young, w. r. c
Stickney and c. w. Writer'S, attorney,
for the Boston a Maine and Contra
Vermont, are not preceded by a steam
calliope when they move on Montpe
lier, and yet one Is justified In con
Guiding that the unusual activity o
these gentlemen in the present yea
OF grace Is not simply for thei
health. Mr.. Writer'S, for instance. Il
an able man, whose honesty Is nm
questioned but he Is by nature r.
dictionary, as witness his opposition
to the weekly payment bill. employ
ers' liability bill. grade crossing bill
and public service commission bill
In fact his record before the legislg
ture is Enthusiastically and without Q,
ception antagonistc TO all progre.
sive legislation when special interest
are involved.
The Messenger surely Is not so M
sophisticated as to believe or have Il
readers believe. that all this smok
exists without fire, or that we mr.

A BRAVE DEED RECALLED
During Recent Gathering Of Seventh
Vermont Veterans.

Rutland, Aug. 1S.-One of the Incl
dents called TO mind at the recent re-
union in this city of the Seventh Yer
mont Veterans association was one
which is of particular interest to a sur
vivor of the Seventh, inasmuch as his
bones would now be Wondering with
those OF thousands of comrades on a
battlefield OF Mobile, Ala, had it not
been for the bravery of brother sol
der, Vermonter now we'll known,
who. according TO the narrator of the
story, has never received sufficient
credit for his heroic deed.
Sergt. Henry E. Perkins of Wash
ing, d. c., the man who was borne
from the battlefield at a great risk of
life, has been on crutches ever since
his left leg was amputated in a field
hospital within few hours of his 22d
birthday, following the siege of Span
ish Fort. He thinks that the story
should be better known among the ac-
quaintances of his rescuer, Rodney
r. Lawrence, ex-town representative
of Hubbardton.
Sergt Perkins was shot through
both legs on the skirmish line, while
running from one rifle pit to another
under the defenders Of Spanish Fort
one of the defense of Mobile, at 1C
O'Clock on the morning of March 20
1865. He fell behind a log, within
three rods of the rebel lines and lay
there until daybreak of the following
morning Men in the rifle pit neal
the spot where he fell we're unable t
do more than drag him closer to tht
log, against which the bullets ratified
continuously. Several OF the occu
pants of the pit were shot down dur
ing that long day. Sergeant Perkins
was able to partly stop the flow o
blood from his left leg, which was tn,
worse, by making a tournaquet will
his bayonet and suspenders.
AT daybreak, Mr.. Lawrence, an or
derby sergeant, who had been OF
duty "a hours without rest, discover

knew had been shot, had not beef
