DES MONIES, Feb. 16.-The report
of the state board of health concern
ing the number of deaths from tuber-

position to know that this number
can be multiplied by two. tt rs max.

in Iowa last year from pfeventable
disease. And it would be interesting
indeed, were it possible to make an
analysis of these deaths. We would
find no age or condition had been

a disease of the poor. yet the rich

Essex County Herald.
Has the contemporary reflected that
In the very argument now usec in
preferring this request that the state
shall build a road with it's own money
in special instance in order to lin K
two towns together, it has invoked the
general principle that demands that it
shall do the very SAME thing in every
instance?
In reality, this Island Pond Norton
highway is not an exception and
should not be. The state ought to build
and maintain all the highways between
all the towns as matter of fact ex-
ercise of it's sovereign powers and
duty. The inter urban highways of a
state belong to all the people of the
commonwealth that may use them,
and not to the towns in which they
may happen to lie. st. Adams Mes

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Duty of the State.

"Apropos of asking for state aid to
a reasonable extent in building a few
miles of highway between Island Pond
and Norton, the circumstances attend
ing the matter are such as specially
appeal for state aid. In the first place
state aid is thing that has been al
most entirely unknown in the county,
one or two small appropriations being
all that we call to mind, while from
the nature of the soil and contour of
the country, roads in this section have
been difficult to build. and this part
of the state has been more excessive
ly burdened than any other, SO that
the state ought, it ems to US, to treat
the matter with most favorable con-
sideration. Besides the territory
through which the piece of road in
question will extend will not be SO
benefited as to induce the owners to
construct road through it. The road
and the object of it is to open up COM
munities into each other. to accommo-
date long travel, thus indirectly and
directly benefting communities in the

Powder Demonstration.
Blasting powder that cannot be ex-
ploded by the application of fire ex-
cept in the shape of fuse or electric
batteries when the powder is confined
in some alright receptacle is the
thing talked about among the granite
manufacturers just at present. This
apparent phenomena has been present.
ed to the quarry owners of this vicini-
ty within the past few days and the
demons trations of the powder have
J: K. Prize, volunteered the use of
his quarry for the experiment. The
demons ira tion showed the new pow
der was less dangerous and saved
more stone than the ordinary blasting
powder used by the companies on the
hill. The first demonstration was
made at the E. l.. Smith quarry,
where a stone weighing 35 tons was
broken off and moved two feet with
three and half pounds of the new
powder. used in three holes. One half
pint of the new powder was used for
the first charge to crack the stone.
At the Wetmore and Morse quarry.
two shots were fired. both being sue
cessful. The powder will not explode
if match is applied to it, the only
result being that it burns with a
slow flame, entirely different from
ordinary powder. Mr. Levy, the in
ventor of the new powder, claims
that his product will do the work of
ordinary black powder with half the
loss in shattered stone and a great
reduction in the danger of premature
explosions. The purpose of the demon
stration was to show quarry owners the
efficacy and safety of the new powder
and the satisfaction of the witnesses
of the shots proved that the invention
is not overrated. Mr.. Levy, the in
ventor, smoked cigar while carrying
the inflammable material around the
quarries and showed the assembled
quarry operators that the powder was
absolutely non-explosive unless con-
fined in an air-tight compartment.

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST
Man Pinned In Philadelphia Ruins

hospitals suffering from injuries
from which some will not recover as
the result of the collapse of the walls
of the burning fve-story factory of
David Friedlander, dealer in leather
remnants.
William GlaZier, who was held fast
in the ruins for more than thirteen
hours, is in hospital suffering from
pneumonia but his condition is re-
ported to be greatly improved and the
physicians have hopes of saving his
life.
Pinioned beneath an immense iron
girder, Glazier gave one of the great
est exhibitions of fortitude on rec
ord. When he was found alive, held
down by tons of debris, physicians
wanted to amputate his legs in order
that he might be removed. He pro-
tested, saying: Il will get out all
right and in plenty of time What
good would be without my legs? !
would rather trust to the boys getting
this junk away"
The records of the police and fire
departments show that 100 firemen
sixty policemen and ten police sur
geons were engaged in the work OF
rescuing Glazier. 1t took sixty gal
Ions of oxygen, two quarts of ia
maica ginger, three pints of whisky,

FIREPREvENTIoNAN

In view of the fact that the east
side of the state lost over $l35, 900 by
fire in one week recently, our attention
is forcibly called to the appalling fire
losses of the United States. Within
a few days millions of dollars worth
of property have been destroyed in our
large cities, and scores of lives have
also been lost by fire.
For Vermont alone the above head
ing suggests two as important sub
jects as the state has to deal with.
The state insurance commissioners re.
port presents much food for thought
and the lessons to be drawn from it
are striking. This report shows that in
this state there is an average Of three
fires every day. with an average daily
loss of nearly $500. AS the st. AL
bans Messenger we'll says "ln some
form or another, through one channel
or another, all these losses are assessed
upon the general public in the long
run" Yes. upon retiring each night
every man in Vermont may we'll re-
fleet upon the thought that there has
been a fire damage Of $1,000 that day,
and that he is paying his proportion of
the loss. Surely this is not pleasant
thought to take to he'd with one 800
days in the year. year in and year out.
But it is true. The known causes of
these fires are Of 81 varieties but the
cause for the largest number, almost
one in every four, are bad chimneys and
defective flues. Here is the first
striking lesson. Vermont villages and
towns ought to have a chimney stand
ard to which every new chimney put
IN must comply. Yet the people where
such a standard is lived up to protest
that their private rights are being in
terfered with. But the fact remains
that bad chimney is dangerous to
the public.
In Vermont in 1909 of the 968 fres'of
known origin chimneys and flues were
cause of 30; gasoline of IL. Yet
gasoline is held as very dangerous ma
terial to handle by many who proba-
bly, are suffering greater danger of life
and property from their neighbours
defective chimney. The next greatest
cause of fires is exposure" the COM
missioners' report says. which we sup
pose means carelessness, or neglect.
When our villages and towns pay more
attention and more taxes for the adj
ministration of good fire prevention
laws by a good fire chief, they will
put more money into their pockets
than they took out for taxes.
Many towns show surprising lack
of proper fire protection. Many of
the smaller towns have absolutely no
system of fighting CONGREGATIONS.
Would it be entiraly out of the ques
tion in Vermont to have some uniform
standard for chimneys and a recog-
nized fre-fghting equipment for each
town, graded according to the size of
the place? These regulations to be
enforced by the insurance commission
ers?

100000 TO FOUND
HOME FOR SPINSTERS
Philadelphia Woman Leaves
= Large Fortune to Charity

Philadelphia, Dec. 25.-In the will
of Mrs. Elizabeth w. Garrett, filed
here, there is a bequest of property
and cash, valued at@$1 900 200, from
which is to be established a home for
single women. The land, consisting of
200 acres, is situated in Newton
Square, Delaware county, Pa.
1t is one of the richest pieces OF
farm land in the state. Besides the
property Mrs. Garrett leaves the resi-
due of her estate, which is estimated
at $500, 900, with which to build
suitable buildings and provide for
the maintenance of the home.
Mrs. Garrett, in her will, directs
that all single women shall be admit
ted to the home, up to its capacity.
Prior to leaving the bulk of her es-
tate to charity, Mrs. Garrett left
about $500, 600 to relatives.
Mrs. Garrett was the widow OF
Caspar S. Garrett, founder OF many
paper mills. He died about fourteen
years ago. Mrs. Garrett died or
Dec. 10, leaving no direct issue.

For Thirteen Hours
Chicago, Dec 23.-Fire Chief
James Koran, Assistant Chief vii,
liam J. Burroughs and twenty tree
men were killed under falling walls
in a million dollar fire at the stock
yards plant of Norris & Co.
Fifteen firemen were seriously in
jured, including two captains, who

Mayor Busse spent ten hours per-
sonally directing the search for the
body of Koran. who had been life
long friend The chiefs body was re-
covered late last night. after a rail-
road wreckirg train with derricks and
steam shovels had been used to clear
away the burning ruins The bodies
of nineteen men have been found.
The fire broke out afresh at 8
O'Clock last night. after it had taxed
the strength Of the fire department
for sixteen hours.
Acting Chief Seyferlich sent gen
eral call TO outlying stations for fresh
men. These, aided by police re-
serves, continued the fight and the
search for bodies Of the dead
Insurance men said that the killing
Of the chief and his men was not due
to an ammonia tank explosion, as
first supposed, but to the expansion of
cold air in the beef warehouse, due
to the heat from the fire This, it is
said, forced the four story wall to
give way and collapse The force be-
hind the wall was as strong as if an
explosion had occurred.
Apparently maddened by the death
of their chief, who was popular in the
department, firemen threw them
selves recklessly into the work of
clearing away the fallen wall More
than fifty men dropped from ex-
haustion, and were carried back from
the intense heat Of the burning ware
house.
Despite the work of many engine
crews the fire continued to burn stub
bornly and still burns.
