Vermont bar, former speaker OF the
Vermont House of Representatives,
and Oldest male resident of Bethel,

Several of his friends called and con-
graduated him finding him in good

memory of events near and remote

ent and vote at town meeting rs
usual this var. He was born in Gro

Mysteries OF the Dining Car.

The kitchen of a dining car is a
most exaggerated example of the
economy of space" says F. M. Graves
in the Woman's Home Companion for
March. Every inch is used Water
tanks are suspended from the ceiling.
One wall is lined with the big range
and heating ovens, while on the other
are storage-boxes, receptacles for
pans, pots and other untensils, and a
row of cupboards up under the cell
ing. At one end, between the kitch-
en- and the dining car proper, is a
little pantry which serves as a sort
of vestibule. That is where the wait
ers place their orders and receive
dishes.
Every separate article of food and
equipment has it's place. Every cor
ner and nook in the car has a partic-
ular function. The silver is in one
place, the milk and cheese in another,
the meat in another, and so on
drought the list. Everything perish
able is kept in a refrigerator.
while the car is in action the
conductor, from his position between
dining-room and kitchen, keeps his
eyes upon the tea tables and endea-
vors to see than none of the diners
is neglected. For all the supplies on
the car he is held to strict account. On
his "trip sheet as it is called, is put
list of everything taken on the car
when it starts out. A record of all
articles sold is entered upon the
sheet, and when the car comes
home again all that has not been
sold must be on hand
THE equipment of dining car
conforms to standards just as do To-
comotives, trucks, rails and ties.
Dishes are made according to estab-
lished patterns, each piece of china
having the company's monogram up
on it. The same is true of the linen,
silver, menu-holders everything.
Thus loss can be easily traced.
The walters are allowed twenty dol
lars a month for breakage. All
damage in excess of that, though,
they have to pay for, and the cost is
divided among them equally"

How often do you
eat this food?

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat,
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities OF Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity. of all oatmeals.
Convenience and economy are served
by the way it is packed-regular size

The last issue of the weekly Capt.

contains an account of the death OF
Mrs Cassius c. Bennett, a native of

Born in East Montpelier, VT, she
was reared in her New England home

CITY BUYS MORE LAND
About 40 Acres of Land Purchased
From Mrs. Lucy ID. Pearsons mt n
Cost Of $3O,OOO-City Has Been
After the Property for Many Years.

Largely though THE diplomacy of
Mayor Frank r. Dawley, the Mayor
and p. s. Smith superintendent of the
water department, consumated deal
yesterday afternoon whereby the city
comes into possession of another
tract of land which has hitherto
been one of the greatest sources of
danger to the city water supply, tile
deal involving about 40 acres on the
neck, near the blacksmith shop, on
the smaller pond. The tract is from
to mile in length as
far as the shore line is concerned
The land belonged to Mrs. Lucy D.
Pearson and her son-in-law Julius
Selinas, but until comparatively re-
Gently the whole tract and the house
located thereon were owned entirely
by the former. For in the vicinity of
ten years the city has been attempting
to get hold of this property owing
to the close proximity of the house to
the brook, which is said to have been
a constant menace to the purity of
the water. When it is understood that
the city has been anxious to get pos
session of the property for such long
time its interest in the matter being
well known ITO the owners, it is sur
prising to learn that the entire prop
erty was bought at such a low figure
as $4,000 the house being sold for
| 81 800 and the land for $4,000. Men
who know 1.-THE value of real estate
say that the city secured a bargain.
Yesterdays purchase means that
| the city has now acquired large tracts
of the shore line as both the east and
west sides and in addition to what il
means to the people of Montpelier in
the way of getting purer supply OF
water, there are other things to be
| taken into consideration. On yester-
days purchase alone there are many
acres that can be devoted 20 pastur-
| ing and tillage, in addition to its value
as woodland. The city now owns as
the result of the Pratt Sibley, Reel
Adams, Pearson and others purchases
in the neighborhood of $50 acres or
| little more than half the shore line
above the MILL
What land the city has already ac-
quired means that the pond will no
longer be used for either swimming
or boating purposes and that the
most dangerous sources of pollution
have already been removed.

A Few Remarks.

Tom" Cory also ran.
Two sections of the board of STRAIT
egg held meetings last night in differ
ent stores along Main street, at both
of which the license vote was thor
oughly analysed. They were some
sore" on that measley majority of sew
en- insignificant votes.
Wonder how the "bo" feels who
wagered $3.50 on the yes side of the
license question?
No, Mr.. Brewery, nobody has thus
far asked for a recount of the license
vote and in all probability no recount
will be asked for.
Jerry" Deadly, Mayor" of Berlin
was probably the happiest man in
Washington county when the result
of ward six vote was announced. May
or Dawley smiled, too-not!
The first vote was cast by George
M. Goss.
Those who expected to profit in a
financial way in the event of the city s
going license will probably realize
now that it does not always pay in al
most any old way to possess longi-
tudinally developed tongue. Oh, that
hot-air!
The chief oracle of the Langdon
street board of strategy was not in
evidence last night
Anyway, we all voted for Dawley!

Was Severely Injured.

Mrs. Joseph Sterling of st. Paul
street sustained painful injury,
slipping on the walk in front of the
store of Edward Gill and dislocating
the bones at the base of the spine.
Mrs. Sterling is 81 years of age, but
hopes are entertained of her recov-
cry, although she will be confined to
the house for weeks. Many bad falls
were received Sunday and Monday.
