The defaulting treasurer of the South
bridge, Mass, bank, got twelve years
imprisonment as penalty for his crime,
which is little, considering that his
peculations amounted to hundreds of
dollars. There are numbers of cases on
record of men serving nearly that length
of time for stealing much smaller
amounts. We are not, Intentionally up
holding the small thief, but going on the
supposition that the theft of one
hundred dollars merits five years i'm
prisonment, the theft of a thousand
dollars should mean ten times as much
punishment; but it does not. The man
who steals five cent loaf of bread to
to keep his family from starving gets,
at the least, thirty days the same as is
given to a common tramp-and if
this punishment fits the crime and
the ratio increase in the same pro-
portion the man who steals many
thousands should receive punishment &C
cordingly. The boy who is caught in
the act of stealing a few pennies is
promptly sent to the Industrial school in
Vergennes for the remainder of his
minority, which may mean from five to
twelve years, yet the Southbridge bank
treasurer, who stole hundreds of
thousands, gets twelve years, the same
as the boy. Consistency, thou art a

Rutland people are doing their best
to raise sufficient sum to purchase the
old State house building, located in that
city, and thus prevent its being torn
down. While it is fact that, as a gen
eral thing, it is for the interests OF
every city or town to tear down old
buildings and replace them with new
and modern structures, there are some
buildings which have sufficient historic
interest to be preserved, and this OLD
State house at Rutland is one of them.
1t is to be hoped that those in charge
of the work will be successful in their
efforts.

1t should be recorded as an historical
fact that Vermont was the pioneer state
in leading the movement for the estab-
lishment of a national department of ag-
riculture. In the early days of the re-
public Washington recommended a
"home department of agriculture, but
nothing came of the recommendation,
and the project apparently slumbered
more than half century. In 1849 the
late Frederick Holbrook of Brattleboro,
who was governor in 186162, laid the
subject of such department before the
Vermont legislature, and the result was
the adoption of an extended report, re-
viewing the scheme intelligently and
closing with series of resolutions in
which the general assembly recommend
ed the establishment of the new depart
ment and requested the governor to
transmit the report to the President,
secretary of the interior, the governors
of each state and all the senators and
representatives in Congress. The mem
bers of Congress were urged to secure
the speedy establishment of the bureau
of agriculture on firm and permanent
basis. -Brattleboro Phoenix.

War On Boil Weevil

Yesterdays Constitution said OF
the meeting held in that city Tues
day for the purpose, mainly OF dis
cussing the dread cotton pest:
To fortify against the advent OF
the boil weevil which is scheduled
to reach Georgia in three years,
some 200 men from all sections OF
the state gathered at Taft hall yes
terday afternoon for the opening
session of the boil weevil conference.
That they were deeplp interested In
in the question was evident and be-
came even more so as the first sess-
ion wore along and practical men
who have fought the cotton pest
told of its habits and the ravages it
makes upon the south's.
That there can be no doubt but
that the weevil will reach Gehrgia
not later than 1912; that the loss to
planters, particularly in the sothern
part of the state, will be very great
unless they take proper precautions,
and that now is the time to prepare
for the coming of the weevil was
ably set out in several interesting
addresses delivered during the after
noon.
CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT.
On the other hand, however. it
was shown that there is no question
but that the weevil can be success
fully fought and as much cotton
raised as though no such thing exis-
ted.
This, however, it was made clear
is possible only by taking advantage
of the experience gained by experts
in the states to the west, where the
pest has been met and successfully
COPIED with. 1t was also shown that
if Georgia is to prevent the great
loss to her farmers that those of
other states have sustained, she
must begin the fight against the
weevil at this time To fight it sue,
cessfully, it is said, will require, in
a large measure, a complete revolu-
ton of farming methods now en-
ployed in the state, and this revolt
ton cannot be accomplished before
the weevil arrives unless begun inn
mediately.
The weevil in many places, it was
shown, has for a time practically
ruined the cotton crops and all but
bankrupted other business industry.
1t required, in many cases it is said
several years for the people to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with
successful methods of fighting the
pest and the loss was sustained
while this education was being re-
ceived. If Georgia, it was shown,
is to profit by the experience OF
other states, she must have learned
her lesson before the weevil arrives.

CARE OF THE EYES

blindness or permanent injury to the
eyes often results from improper care
of them. At birth they should be thor
oughly cleaned of all foreign matter by
the physician. Thousands of cases of
lifelong blindness are caused by neg
lecting this simple precaution.
Children should not be placed in
position where the sun shines directly
into the eyes, as in baby carriage,
etc. Remember they are helpless and
must suffer the consequences.
School children who are backward in
their studies, or who complain of head
ache or tired feeling in the eyes should
be examined by a reliable oculist or
optician, as often the cause is in the
eyes.
In over one-half the children born
the eyeball is more or less abnormal
in shape-i. e., too long or too short or
the curvature of the front portion is
not the same in all meridians. In
either case the rays of light do not
focus easily on the retina, which in
time results in strain or imperfect
vision. Most of these conditions can
be remedied by properly fitting glasses.
Reading by a poor light or on the
cars or while lying on the back are all
injurious to the eyes. The continued
use of alcoholic drinks or tobacco
often so injure the vision that the vic
tim cannot read ordinary print with
or without glasses.
Dust, ETC., in the eyes can often be
removed by opening and shutting them
in tub Of water. Should an object
adhere tightly to or enter the eyeball
the assistance of a specialist should
be obtained at once. Lime in the eye
can be neutralized by vinegar (not too
strong). Burning of the eyes by any
substance can be soothed with oil
castor oil preferred) until a specialist
can be consulted.
All corrupt matter should be care
fully excluded from the eyes, as some

GARBAGE AGAIN

Will someone tell us If we have been
buncoed by the health authorities for
years?
Why have they been telling us to
clean up our back yards; that our OLD
tin cans and other outdoor rubbish was
dangerous to health; that our garbage
cans must be cleaned and disinfected to
save us from the plague?
A few years ago, two, believe, to be
exact, officers were sent to inspect the
back yards all over the city, and all
rubbish, even the most apparently
harmless kind, was ordered cleaned up
at once, as it was dangerous.
Now we are told that while the gar
bage station on Also may be malooor-
Gus 1t does not jeopardize the public
health. Why this change of policy?
If our old tin cans endanger the pub
lie, why may not tons and tons OF
garbage standing fostering in the sun
for hours? Even If the nearby houses
are absolutely screened from flies,
which is practically impossible If there
are children to leave doors open, even
so may not the gases from this rottlng
refuse pass through the meshes of the
screens?
If this is not so and the sickness in
the vicinity of the garbage station is
merely a coincidence where are all OF
our carefully cherished theories?
Why should the people who own their
homes in that vicinity and are so un-
able to move be subjected to such a
stencil, even If it is not dangerous?
Is there no place farther from the
center of population where the garbage
can be lett If it must be lett standing
for hours?
What pleasant sight and smell for
our tourist guests VINO are going TO
Pasadena and other outlying districts
Surely there must be some way by
which our lovely city can get RID OF
this blot.

ROYAL ROADS TO HEALTH
By DE-. Charles n. Harper

There are two occupations that ap-
peal to me as being in themselves ex-
tremely healthful. The singer and the
teacher OF athletics have means of live
lihood which are in themselves an in
surance of health. You will say, per-
haps, that 1t is only healthy people who
can follow these pursuits. If you will
look a little beyond the surface, how
ever, you will find that most of them
have built themselves upon their occu-
pations.
We cannot all be singers or teachers
of athletics. But while 1 am dress ng
in the morning can avail myself of all
those things which produce health and
vigor in the singer, and when ] walk
down Broadway to my office can call
into play all the resources of the ath-
lete. 1 should not do these things II 1t
were not for the same education that
makes them a matter of course and
daily habit with the singer and the
athlete. Education is the royal road to
health.
The occupation of the farmer will oc-
cur to many as a heaithful one. Out
door life makes it so to a certain ex-
tent, but IL you go among the farmers
you will find crooked spines, rheumatic
joints and dyspeptic dispositions as
common as they are in the city. Physi-
cal exertion is not royal road to
health.
This brings me to the peculiar variety
of human ills upon which I wish to
