TIME TO CALL A HALT.

There are lots Of self-respecting cit izens who still think that the endeav- or for a saner and safer Fourth of July is all nonsense. because they dc not realize that this carnival of noise and death, or something worse. is modern, not old-fashioned-
 Dr. w. w. Keen of Philadelphia has figures to show that Gin seven years we have sacrificed on the Fourth of July precisely five times the number of deaths from wounds in the Span ish-American war. The total number of deaths from wounds in that war
 was 306, the number of deaths from
 disease being 2,910. In the seven years, from 1903 to 1909, the number
 killed in celebrating the Fourth Of
 July was 1,531 persons, an annual av-
 craze of 219. From the statistics gathered by the American Medical as- sociation it was shown that in 1909 there were 150 eases of tetanus Oock 1aw) reported, of which number 125 died, as against only 76 in the year previous. The blank cartridge is the most dangerous of all explosives used and produces nearly twice the number of deaths resulting from gunsnot wounds. Of the 150. cases of tesauus reported last year blank cartridges were responsible for 130 of them.
 In view oa these facts. the calling of conference of mayors of the cit ies of Connecticut for April 21 by Governor Weeks appears to be war ranted and purposeful. Take out of the Fourth the explosives which have no business in it. and it will De safe enough and be far from being noise less

DEER IN VERMONT.

IL was thought when the open sea- son closed last year that the tame deer in Vermont had been mostly wiped out because of the multiplicity of the gunners and the tamsness of the game, but the Bennington Ban- ner now says: Tt is a fact known to hundreds of Bennington and PownI people that herd of from so to so deer wintered in the south part of Pownal, and 1t has since been learned that another herd of about the same size yarded along the west slope of Red mountain in Arlington and Sand gate All through the latter part of the winter people from here made trips to PoEnaI and were sornetim es able to get near enough to the deer 10 take good photographs of them. The Red mountain herd was harder to get at. but Dick Woodcock and Guy Bentley, in crossing from Sand gate in Q few hours saw 54 deer. I: is evident that the number of deer in this section of the state has not been seriously depleted"
 This Is Q very good exhibit; but it will take but a few years to make an end of the game if the hunters are given freedom

THE SUCCESSOR OF JUSTICE
 BREWER.

There is considerable interest being manifested in the vacancy caused by the death Of the late Justice Brewer upon the supreme court bench. The locality idea Of making appointm ents was abandoned years ago. and as result three districts are without rep resentatives upon the bench.
 At the present time, with one va czucy on the supreme bench, the cir cults are represented as follows: The Sixth circuit. three judges; the First Circuit. two; the Fifth, Seventh and Ninth circuits. one each, and the Sey- ond. Third and Fourth circuits, none.
 Since there Is no doubt that there are men iz either of these districts qualified for the duties of the bench st does not seem to be just the thing to have a single district with three justices on the bench.
 But there will be no locality issue, for it is a matter which rests upon the merit of the candidates and the judgment of the president, and the country will care little what circuit the appointee comes from if in learr- ing excellence of character and judi cisI ability he ranks up to the su- p-erns court standard. and is recog ; mixed as a worthy successor of Jus lice Brewer

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceEation, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and. as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth moun- tains of gold " to suffering women.

 ONCE A YEAR.

Some cities feel as elated over hav- ing a cleanup week once a year as some people do over the habit of bath ing once a quarter; and there is no disputing that the people who wash but once a quarter are cleanest.
 The legacy of winter is filth-f1lth in the streets and in most backyard ds {; and fifth produces unhealthy conditions and promotes disease. This is why a cleanup is imperatively demanded in the spring, in the interests of the peo- pie.
 The legacy of business activity is scra pc of every nature and variety, and in some places they pile up in a week and in others in a month. Ae- COT ding to the need of premises and streets should they be brushed up.
 It seems next to impossible to get an annual cleanup of & city when public health should require it thor oughly at least quarterly.
 The cleanest city in the world is Berlin. and the cleaners are at it every day in the year; and next to the diFtiest are the cities which clean up only once a year
 The backyard that looks less like a garden or & park than it does like a pig-sty is unworthy of civilized ten- ants. The odor of flowers is prefera- ble to malodorous matter everywhere
 The antagonists of filth are making the rakes and pruning shears go and leaving the rest to the bonflres. May there be more bon1res in this section this year than usual in the interest of better appearances and better health results.

Lettina Oneself Go

IT very often happens that we have 6 thought, but are afraid to express it. lest it seem absurd to others. A song begins to sing itself in our heart, but we hush it, lest our friends say what trif1ing thing. to be sure' We have in our soul the prompting of a generous act, but we hesitate and forego it, for fear we may appear sentimental. When, if we had been true to our selves, and uttered the thought sung the song done the generous thing, we too. might have won the applause of men no less than that higher reward the approval of our own nature.
 The sincere man trusts him self What he thinks fle is confident is at least worthy of expression and what he is prompted to do he is certain must be right He acts promptly and frankly and coura geously, and so lives his own life and permits his soul it's own af- florence and frufting. He lets himself "go"
 After all, we are and can be only ourselves. If we are to advance or to be anything. we must let ourselves go" We cannot by taking thought add a cubit to our intellectual stature
 What we are we are, and we can only Enabe the most of ourselves by letting go and going as far as possible Columbia (S O. State.

The handles prevent slipping and they can be had at a mo- nlent's notice. Ranged according to sizes. hunting for the right lid does not waste ones time.

SIeeves.

Sleeves are conceded to be the most difficult part in the making of a waist and, as a rule the fault is entirely in the fitted lining.
 For instance, it is impossible to make a draped sleeve a success if the foundation is imperfect in cut or fit. As every woman who sews knows. a sleeve lining consists of two parts, the upper and the under.
 The former is larger than the latter, in order that the seam on the outer edge of the arm shall not be in evil
 dence when the waist is worn.
