Another excellent bill is on view in
the Miles theater this week. Delmore

as the headliners and no one will dis
pute their right TO this position. Their
act Is a genuine thriller and IL also
worth while from a purely spectacu-
lar standpoint. Immediately clad In
white tights, these clever performers
work In q setting OF black velvet. All
the stage lights are turned out and
the bright glare OF the calcium serves
to bring out the contrast very effec-
lively. The act is appropriately called
"A Study In Black and White" For
their Aerial stunts Delmore and
Lee employ an elaborate revolving
device. Taking their positions at
either end OF the ladder-like affair,
they perform feats that show them
to be past masters OF the aerial game.
Next 10 witnessing an aeroplane fight,
this act is about the most exhilarating
spectacle that could be imagined.

A Valuable Organization.

Some people feel that the State
Board of Health has been given ar
bitrary power in many matters relat-
ing to public health. That it has
made good use of its powers is
shown by the following statements
in public address by DR.. H. D.
Holton, the secretary of the board.
We find on examination of the
statistics that in the six years pre-
vious to the establishment of the
State Board of Health, the deaths
from typhoid fever were sos; in the
last six years, 354, or about half
of the first period. From tubercu-
losis during the first period the
deaths were 4,545; in the last, e.
1898, dropping from 821 in 1881 to
395 in 1910, saving of 1,849 lives.
In the last three years there have
been reported, under Sec. $3.50 of
the Public Statutes, requiring every
physician to report all cases of tu-
berculosiS> that came under his OBJ
servation, 497 cases or about one
third of the number of deaths in the
same time. Is it possible that our
Vermont doctors cannot diagnose
tuberculosis, or what is the trouble?
Scarlet fever claimed in the first pc
riod 423; this dropped in the
last period to 81. Diphtheria in the
first period caused 896 deaths; in
the last $50. During the thirteen
months from December 1, 1908, to
December 81, 1909, under authori-
ty of law we furnished antitoxin
free. There were 252 cases with
only twelve deaths. During that
period there were 632 persons ex-
posed-these received immunizing
doses of antitoxin, only nine of
which developed the disease none
died. 1t will thus be seen that COM
pairing these two periods, we find
we have saved 3,191 lives in these
four communicable diseases by the
use of proper preventable means.
When the ravages of such diseases
as typhoid fever, tuberculosis, diph-
iberia and scarlet fever can be re-
duced to the extent shown above by
an organized board it pays the state
well to have such board. No per-
son should question its authority
when it's only object is to prevent
disease wherever possible.
1t is somewhat surprising that the
physicians of the state, with the eff
ticiency of organized effort so we'll
demonstrated, do not obey more
closely the law requiring the report
ing of all cases of tuberculosis. Good
results have been accomplished in
diminishing the number of deaths
without these reports but better re-
suits might be accomplished if the
law was complied with. 1t certainly
would not increase the number of
cases and the possibility of reducing
the number of deaths should compel
compliance with the laws require
ments. We hope that in the next
report by the secretary of the board
of health a more complete report of
the number of tuberculosis cases
will be shown.

To illustrates: A owns personal
property appraised at $500 and he
owes $500. The listers in that case
deduct $500 from the $500, leaving
$500 subject to taxation. AS de-
duction is therefore $500. If B
owns the same amount of personal
property and owes 1000 the listers
could not deduct $1,000 from BIS
list. They could deduct only $500
because he had only $500 worth of
personal property. His deduction
would therefore be only $500. In
the year past no town has been al
lowed to return the total amount of
Indebtedness but has been required
by the tax department to figure out
the correct amount for deduction
This affords a striking example of
the abuses which have existed under
the present law.

will not separate. The trouble may
spread over the whole farming COM
munity from one infected source
through the medium of a central re-
ceiving station or creamery. In
cases of this kind. the Infection is
always bacterial in nature, al
though as in numerous other milk
lamentations, the change may be
caused by rather large class of
bacteria, rather than single or
ganism. OF this number, however,
only a few multiply with sufficient
rapidity to be concerned in ordinary
dairy infections. 1t is highly prob
able that the infection is waterborne
and therefore, water supplies and
tanks should be first inspected, as
the bacillus does not normally be-
long to the dairy and is not common
in barns. The remedy is to adopt
more rigid methods of cleanliness,
being careful to use pure fresh wat
er in washing with thorough sterili-
cation of all tanks. and utensils. AS

Milk and LIQUOR.

1t is a singular fact that Vermont
ers get better liquor than they do
milk. This is conclusively shown in
the bulletin of the State Laboratory
of Hygiene, issued today.
Of 635 samples of distilled liquor
and 154 of malt LIQUOR, or 789 in
all, tested during the quarter, only
two were found below the test.
On the other hand of II samples
of milk found to be standard or
above Sc are reported as ''pass-
able or tbarely passable.' In other
words, of II samples only II were
really first class milk.
Thirty-six samples of milk we're
found to be below standard-how

Shiny milk is of frequent occurrence
"a kind of milk which can hardly
be regarded as first-class. AS this
condition is not well known, either
by dealers or public, we reprint the
comment contained in the bulletin:

knowledge of harm to adults caused
by it's use (although it should not
at any rate be fed to infants), but
except in cases mentioned above, it
is an extremely undesirable fermen-
tation and is often the cause of
much trouble in the dairy. The
usual symptoms are as follows: The
milk although treated in the usual
way will not sour or curdle in a
normal manner and begins to be-
come stringy in few hours after

PRESS COMMENT.
Bargain Day.

Here is an idea that might be
passed along with good results. The
merchants of St. Johnsbury are to
have monthly bargain day during
the fall and winter. In telling his
fellow merchants how to advertise
bargain day a st. Johnsbury mer-
chant said:
The scheme should be we'll placed
before the people by the press and
if the press does its duty properly it
will bring the people. The mer-
chant should not be expected to sac
rifice his whole advertising space, to
his bargain day offerings but should
advertise his regular business along
with the bargain day offerings. The
merchants should also use their
windows to advertise the bargains
they are to offer on bargain day. A
day or two before the articles to be
offered at special price on bargain
day should be sattractively displayed
in the window with the regular price
and the special price placed on them.
On no condition should the merchant
sell any of the articles at the special
price until the day advertised. The
merchant should also do some extra
work inside the store displaying the
goods he is to sell in manner that
they can be easily found and inspect
ed. In advertising the merchant
should be especially careful not to
stretch the truth but tell the people
honestly what the regular price and
value are and then name the special
price SO people will know exactly
what they are to find. People,
women especially, know what arti-
cles sell for regularly and it will not
pay to attempt to fool them. The
goods to be offered should not be out
of style articles but up-to-date desir-
able articles offered at special
price. Spring and fall openings could
be made with good results on bar
