In ages gone by. if women or men had
moles upon their faces or necks they had
them for life. In these days it is a sim
pie and easy process to remove them
If YOU have not seen your sister or broth

twenty. or more years, when you go to
the station to meet them do not make
up your mind to identify them by that

often wise to have moles on other parts
of the body removed-especially large
ones--as they sometimes develop into very
great annoyances and possibly may give
dangerous trouble Your physician would
advise wisely on this matter if you con-
suit him. Ordinarily. however, this is a
matter of choice and not of necessity. If
there is doubt as to the wisdom of it las
there might be, occasionally the trusted
physician will advise. The removal by

The dream of trunk--line highways may
he A pleasing sensation. lts hrst agitation
was about a decade ago when the Vermont
Good Roads association was IN existence,
but II will be many decades IN the dim ana
distant future before a legislature oil yer
mont will vote to issue bonds Tor such
myury. II would be great TO have them,
bui the expense OF maintenance would be
greater and far beyond our means, neces
stating a large increase IN taxation OF
direct tax upon the people. The present
system is about the best we can afford and
il certainly is accomplishing great I'M
movement of the highways OF the state
More extensive road building along the

the present time instead OF chasing ai'sr
lofty ideals that are beyond our reaen,
We must grow a little bit, and quite OH

Nergennes Nernonter'
Fear of increased expense Is one OF the
bugaboos that is pulling Vermont behihd
the other New England states, and no
where is this bugaboo more dangerous than
in its relation to the trunk-line highway
idea. II is folly to say that the present
system of highway building is the best TINS
state can afford. In fact, this state can
afford no system that does not provide
permanent roads built under the super
vision of the state and maintained by IT.
Far too much money already has been
wasted in aimless effort The sooner the
people of Vermont discover this mistake
the better it will be for all concerned

shifts brought under the Sherman antitrust
law against the American Tobacco ana
Standard Oil companies postpones lor
many months the program OF prosecution

against other offenders, provided the de-
cision favored the government. II is also
a direct invitation to the president to nom
