KEEP THE Town CLEAN-Aclean town
like clean face inspires confidence and
commands respect. Now is the time for
all Vermont towns to look clean and
pretty. The passing stranger in his auto
mobile will stop long enough to take a
look if there is anything to look at. The
average Vermont village is picturesque
enough. 1t is age and settled conditions
that lend the picturesque touch. New.
up-to-date things seldom have it. Add
cleanliness and order to the picturesque

Baked Apples and Figs.

Apples baked with figs are very nice.
Select the plumpest and juiciest dried
figs you can get and wash them, care

shape. Then select good, firm apples
and wash them. Scoop out the cores
and into each of these holes pack two
or three whole figs Place them in a
baking pan and bake in hot oven.
While they are baking haste them
with strip made from the juice of half
a lemon, two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and half a cup of water. If when
they look done they are not soft to
the core, place cover over your bak-
ing dish and let them steam for few
minutes. Then remove the cover and
brown the fruit slightly. These apples

Murder in the United States

Ifapatriotic American citizen were told
that in his country human life is less safe
from murderous assault than in any Other
civilized country in the world, he would
probably proceed at once to dispute the
assertion vigorously. Yet that is true.
In the United States there are 115 homi-
cides, or murders, every year for every
million of population. In Italy, infested
with the Malta and the Black Hand, the
Camorra and similar criminal organiza-
tions as it is the rate is los per million.
In Germany it is only 10, in France, 10,
and in Great Britain and Ireland 27. In
the United States human life is more
poorly protected than in Italy, and it is
not one-ninth as safe as in Germany, nor
one-fifth as safe as in England.
Why?
A host OF reasons may be offered, but
they may also be summed up in these
brief facts: Because the punishment of
murder in the United States lax. There
are nine thousand murders annually in
this country and less than two per cent.
of them are even punished. In Great
Britain one homicide in every four is
hanged; most OF the others are punished
in some other way. In the United States
not one homicide in fifty is ever hanged:
the other forty.nine are either given vary
ing prison sentences or else they escape
punishment altogether.
So it seems that our murder laws are
quite lax, or rather that it is difficult to
mete out proper punishment for homi.
cides. Certain tits that the laws should
be more stringently adhered to-
