How sandow Became Strong

When / was sixteen or seventeen,
says Eugen Sandow in the Strand.
my studies took me seriously into
anatomy and | realized that | held in
my possession the key to the secret
| had been endeavoring to solve. An
atomy taught me that there were so
many muscles in the body; from ex-
perience | knew that man had no use
or at least found none for the major
ity of his muscles, and common sense
told me that every one of them was
created for a purpose. | set myself
to find out the action of each muscle,
and, having found it, produced sys-
TEN of exercise for giving each and
every muscle movement and then
arranged forms of exercises which
would develop each and every set of
them fixing the mind upon them
whilst exercising, and by which when
some were brought into play, others
were released and left at rest.
And this is the foundation of my

How 10 Grow Alfalfa" is the sub
Jet Of an article in the Banner today
by c. c. Jones. manager Of the Col
gate farms. This article We eonsid-
er one Of the most valuable ever
printed for Vermont farmers. Alfalfa
is the greatest Of the clover family
and has added millions in wealth to
the farmers where il can be grown.
Heretofore il has not been success
fully grown in Vermont but Mr. Jones
has proved by actual experience that
he can get at least two large crops
per season here in Bennington and if
it can be raised here it can undoubt-
eddy be in other parts of the state.

Mvsteries Of the pinino Car

The kitchen Of a dining car is a
most exaggerated example of the
economy of space says f. NJ.
Graves in the Woman's Home Com
panion for March. Every inch is
used. Watertanks 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
utensils and row of cupboards up
under the ceiling At one end, be-
tween the kitchen and the dining car
proper, is a little pantry which ser
YES as a sort of a vestibule That is
where the walters place their orders
and receive dishes
Every separate article of food and
equipment has its place. Every cor
ner and nook in the car has par
ticular function. The silver is in one
place. the milk and cheese in another
the meat in another, and so on
through the list Everything perish
able is kept in refrigerator.
While the car is in action the
conductor, from his position between
dining room and kitchen keeps his
eyes upon the ten tables and endeav-
ors to see that 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 started 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 Fleetwood Platform.

Mr. Fleetwood is out with a brand
new platform We recall that only a
few short months ago he erected one
which was quite warmly admired for
a time by some of our esteemed eX-
changes although we had strong
suspicion that it would not long sur
vive the stress of political weather.
In fact we could not help thinking
that from its construction it was de-
signed to serve as a sort of scat.

Cheney and former LieutenantGoyeI
nor Steans rather than as real
platform.
If the latter surmise is correct it
has apparently served its purpose for
it is now repaired and regilded and
offered to the public as a wholly new
and substantial structure. 1t is not
without significance, however that
the repairs were not made until after
DR. Mead had announced the plat

ington Morrow didn't let his scruples
interfere with his business out in
Michigan when he tried to carry a
license election by fraud. Some are
not greatly surprised. Some years
ago the writer caught anti-saloon
league leader trying to get himself
elected chaplain of one branch of the
Vermont legislature by methods lust
as doubtful. Consequently we have
no great esteem for Morrow. The
temperance cause or any other cause
is unfortunate when it falls into the
hands Of man who tries to accom-.
plish by trickery what he cannot do
openly.

New. England Corn Show

II has been definitely decided that
the proposed New England corn show
be held in the city of Worcester,
Mass, some time in the coming
month of November The sum OF
$4,000 has already been secured for
distribution in prizes and it is ex-
pected that the Worcester board of
trade will contribute yet another
$1,000
When it was proposed to hold a
New England apple show in Boston
The Landmark was prompt to urge
Vermont farmers to exhibit at the
fair and tried to point out the advan-
tages to the state as result of such
exhibits For like reasons The
Landmark, at this time, urges Yer
mont farmers to plan to make all pos
sible exhibits of corn at next aut-
umns exhibition 1t is wholly prac-
ticable for Vermont TO grow as good
Indian corn as can be grown else
where in New England. Her soil is
naturally the most fertile of any in
New England. II is the most reten-
tive of moisture and has at the same
time the most natural drainage for
both frost and rain and it is the cas-
lest cultivated because Of its freedom
from surface rocks and stone. Yer
mont has a state department of agri-
culture and that department should
take steps to further the states rep
resentation at the coming corn show.
Good is certain to come therefrom,
whereas no benefit results from the

Lac Eederal Income La

One of the most important matters
with which our next legislative SEES
sion will have TO deal is the accep-
lance or rejection of the proposal OF
Congress of an amendment TO the
federal constitution so as to permit
the imposition of an income tax. An
income tax is a tax upon the money
income of an individual above a GER
tain amount and graduated TO the in
come. that is, the larger the income
the larger the rate of taxation. II
will be seen at once that il hits men
of wealth and large incomes. 1t is a
method of taxation which will cause
men of means to bear a larger share
of the support of government than is
at present borne 10y them, and will
relieve the poorer class TO the extent
that it compels wealth to pay. The
acceptance of the proposal will be
bitterly opposed Three-fourths Of
/ the legislatures of the various states
must acquiesce or the proposition
fails. Strong efforts will be made in
states where the senate Is so easily
controlled by the corporate interests
as is the senate of Vermont, TO defeat
| it. An organized campaign to that
| end is being conducted by the so call
! ed interests" Governor Hughes of
| New York, in his last message, vote
! ed an objection which has been
grasped by those opposing the amend
ment Wealth fights Systematically.
The mails are filled with pamphlets
containing Governor Hughes objec-
tons, and literature for the "educa-
ton" of the people Nothing in con-
nection with the literature indicates
/ the source The men back of this
move are shrewd men, who want to
escape their just share of the public
burden, and, apparently without con
science, put it upon their poorer
brothers Why does wealth thus
fight to be allowed to be dishonest ?
Why do men who are able to help
support government, scheme to avoid
their plain duty as citizens? The man
who tries to put upon the poorer tax
payer the burdens of taxation is a
greater danger and menace to this
| government than the most radical
socialist, who would completely up
set our established industrial and
social order. II has been well said
that he is more dangerous to the
state than a majority of those who
see the light of day only through
b. prison bars. The man who commits
a crime and goes to Jail, and thereby
becomes a criminal is usually of a
low order of intelligence Not SC
with the sleek, ll-groomed-pillaI
of the church-respectable citizen
who commits crime, and thereby
imposes a greater burden upon the
class represented by his poorer
brother. There may be an excuse
for the acts of the former class
There can be none for the latter w,

the merits of the income tax problem

to the Importance of the question; t

Mr.. HAPeooD WILL RUN

Marshall J. Hapgood Of Peru is a
candidate for governor. He doesn't
want to buy the nomination He
doesn't intend to force his candidacy
upon an unwilling people. He does
MT claim to be able in the course Of
two years administration to make
Vermont a rival of the New Jerusa-
lem. He isn't going to get down on
his knees to the machine politicians
and heelers and wouldn't take the
nomination from them if they offer
ed it to him. because he wouldn't
be under obligations to that crowd
for all the honor there is in the gov
ernorship. But if the plain people of
Vermont want him in the governors
chair he won't run away from it. The
Londonderry Sitter of this week
says:

is candidate for governor of Yer

of his refusal to become candidate,

ton who will truly represent the
mass of the people. Mr.. Hapgood
can be depended upon to make a
vigorous push of his canvass now
