LEE HELPED HIM.
The Old Soldier That Asked For and
Received Assistance.

Received Assistance.
General Robert E. Lee was sitting
on the veranda of his Lexington home
one afternoon engaged in conversation
with some friends when a man, i'll
clothed and covered with dust, appear
ed at the gate and timidly beckoned to
the general.
Apologizing to his friends, Lee rose
at once and went to the gate. Very
soon his purse appeared, and he was
seen to give the man some money.
His friends, knowing the extent of
his charity in any case of suffering,
real or apparent, looked on with some
Impotence, for they knew how slender
his means were then and how many
calls of the same kind came to him.
General, who was that?" one of
them ventured when he had returned
to his place.
Zone of our boys in trouble" was
the half smiling answer, for the gen.
eral knew the remonstrance which his
friend was longing to make.
What regiment and company did he
belong to-" persisted the friend. anx

pected fraud.

Prisons Breed tuberculosis.

That there are $4,000 tuberculosis
prisoners in the state, federal and local
prisons and jails of the United States,
with less than 25 special institutions
and hardly 800 beds for their treatment,
are some of the charges made by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis in the follow
ing bulletin issued yesterday.
From several Investigations that have
been made, it is estimated that on an
average about fifteen per cent of the
prison population of the country is
afflicted with tuberculosis. On this
basis, out of the go, 900 prisoners housed
in the penal institutions of continental
United States at any given time, not
less than IL, 200 are infected with this
disease. If the Philippine Islands and
other insular possessions were taken
into consideration, the number would be
much larger. Some of the prisons of
Pennsylvania, Kansas and Ohio show
such shocking conditions with reference
to tuberculosis that many wardens ad-
NIT that these places of detention are
deathtraps. Similar conditions could
be found in almost every state, and in
the majority of cases the only sure
remedy is the destruction of the old
buildings and the erection of new ones.
Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment of their
tuberculous prisoners. These institu-
tons can accommodate, however, only
800 patients. In three-fourths of the
major prisons and in practically all the
jails of the country the tuberculous
prisoner is allowed freely to infect his
fellow prisoners, very few restrictions
being placed upon his habits. When
the congregate mode of prison life is
considered, the danger of infection be-
comes greater than in the general popu-
lation. New York and Massachusetts
are the only states where any system.
attic attempt has been made to transfer
all tuberculous prisoners to one centra
institution. The largest prison tuber.
culosis hospital is in Manila, where ac-
commodatons for 200 prisoners are pro-
vided. The next largest is Clinton
Hospital in New York, which provide!
for $50.
The fact that 10000 prisoners are
discharged from the jails and prisons Of
the country annually, and that from tel
to fifteen per cent of them have tuber
culosis, makes the problem of providing
special places for their treatment Will,
they are confined serious one. So i'm
portant is the problem that the Prisol
Association of New York in co-opera
ton with the State Charities Aid Asso
citation, is preparing to inaugurate
special campaign for the prevention o
tuberculosis in the penal institutions o
the state, and will seek to enlist the co
operation of all prison physicians ant
anti-tuberculosis societies in this work

Consumers all over the country have
long suffered from the avariciousness OF
meat packers, but now the dealers have
rebelled, or 80 it would seem from
recent editorial in the Free Press,
which reads as follows:
ut is to be hoped the United Butch
ers of America will be able to carry out
their threat to materially cut meat
prices. An attempt is to be made at
the convention to be held by the organi-
cation in question in Chicago next
month to organize for the purpose OF
establishing cooperative abattoirs, rem
dering plants and tanneries, which move
is expected to enable retail butchers to
act independently of the beef barons:
This project may be successful after
very long struggle, but the chances
against it are strong. 1t is easy to
understand, however, that the carrying
out of this idea would make it possible
for the farmers of Vermont as we'll as
of other States to make more OF the
production of beef, pork and mutton Tor
the home market, and in the long run
such contamination would unquestlon-
ably work to the advantage of our con-
sumers as well as our producers.
At the present time 1t is dllhcul'
matter for Vermont stock raisers tc
market their meat products to advan
tage unless they are located within strlK'
ing distance of some of our larger cen
tiers of population, or have unusually
good shipping facilities. The solution
of this problem is one of the great need:
of the Vermont farmer.

The Cow.

The dairy COW, if able to express her
self in way which the human family
would comprehend, might well lay
claim to being mans best friend. She
might establish such a claim by calling
attention to the fact that from her
product and from her carcass man man
ufactures more of the necessities of life
than from any other similar source.
She furnishes these necessities to him
from infancy until such time as
temporal things are no longer associat-
ed with his existence, and she does it
ungrudgingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure, the pros
perity of an agricultural community is
more closely identified with her than
with any other of the domestic animals.
The horse is quite essential in tilling the
soil, but where necessity requires il
the sturdy son of the cow can take his
place, as he has done in every agricul-
tural section on earth. The horse car
only furnish labor and can only return 6
profit to his owner when conditions are
right for returning satisfactory grair
crops. 1t is well known fact that the
dairy COW is the salvation of the farmer
in times of poor crops, as she is able t.
convert the rough crops which are never
a total failure, into dairy products
which always have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes skin
milk and butter milk for the calves
pigs and poultry and fertility for thu
soil, without which farm becomes les
valuable each year and the whole coun
try less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy Gov

would necessitate an almost revolu-
tionary readjustment of mans tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean un-
told suffering and hardship. Of course
she will not be dispensed with but her
vulue can perhaps best be appreciated
by contemplating such loss.
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family ex-
lists and will keep on supplying him with
his greatest needs just as she has done
through all the ages.

The Free Press calls attention to the
fact that while it took the people of
Burlington as whole SO long to wake
up that the efforts of the Burlington
Commercial club to secure the state
fair for this city came to naught, the
fact remains that we should all give
this great exhibition generous sup
port. That is the right view of the
matter and the Free Press is equally
correct when it advises that 1.-The state
fair serves to promote the interests of
the entire commonwealth, no matter
where it may be located, and people in
this region should give the undertaking
the same hearty cooperation as we
would have desired from the progress

Much has been said about the placing
of the statue of the late Robert E. Lee,
clothed in the uniform of the conted-
crate States, in Statuary hall in the
capitol at Washington. Northern peo-
pie, especially members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, will be interest
ed in a recent opinion on the matter
rendered by Attoney-General Wick
ersham, and reported to have been
approved by President Taft, to the eff
feet that there is no provision of law
by which the statue can be removed
from its present position. In addition
to deciding the question on a purely
legal basis, Mr. Wickersham argues the
matter from an ethical point of view,
declaring that Lee has come to be re-
garded as typifying all that was best
in the cause to which he gave his serv-
ices and in his most loyal acceptance of
the complete overthrow of that cause.
That Virginia should designate him for
place in Statuary hall as one illus
trious for distinguished military serv-
ice, the attorney general declares, is
but natural and warranted under the
reading of the law. Mr.. Wickersham' S
opinion was called forth by resolutions
of protest adopted by the department
of New York Grand Army of the Re-
public, at Syracuse, N. Y, on June %
and by communication from Corpora
James Tanner regarding these resolu
lions
