TRUNK LINE HIGHWAYS
New York Senate Votes to Spend
Millions on Two Roads.

Albany, Feb. without comment
or a dissenting vote the Senate today
passed two bills appropriating more
than $2,00O,0O0 for the improvement
of two trunk line highways. One Of
these was the Emerson bill, which,
if enacted. will authorize the con-
struction of a macadam road extend
ing from New York to Rouse's Point,
on the northern boundary of the
State A portion of this line has al
ready been built, and the object of
the Emerson bill is to connect the
completed links.
The route of this State highway is
along the east side of the Hudson,
from New York to Albany, thence
north through Saratoga, Lake George.
Warrensburg, Schroon Lake, Au Sa-
bic Forks, Keeseville, Elizabethtown,
and Plattsburg. At Rouse's Point
the road is to connect with a Cana.
dian highway, which is to be improv-
ed as far north as Montreal. This
measure was introduced in the AS
emily today by Assemblyman Man
ley.
The other bill which wa passed by
the Senate provides for the compile
ton of an improved highway from a
point on the boundary line between

TO PALE, Thin PEOPLE

Pale, thin people are simply sun
erlng from want Of nourishment.
They may eat enough. but their food
is not properly digested and docs
them no good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale weak and thin. II mingles
with the food and aids assimilation
so that when taken for a short time,
Nature viii soon assert her normal
powers and the food that is eaten
win give strength and good flesh.
Weigh yourself before YOU commence
the use OF Samose and you will no
iice a steady gain. SamOse is a
scientific neshforming food that re-
stores the thin and scrawny to their
proper weight, and fills the weak ana
deblitated with vigor aud vitality.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh will find his de.
sires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug.

The Poultney Journal Of this week
published very interesting sketch of
Horace Greeley who was born one
hundred years ago Feb. 8. Greeley
lived in Poultney as young man
and learned the printers trade there
in a house which is still standing.
Horace Greeley was without doubt
the greatest editorial writer who
ever lived and as the editor of the
New York Tribune did more for the
abolition of slavery than even Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t was Greeleys inn
FASHIONED and logical arguments that
made the election of Lincoln posi-
BILE and stirred the north to action.
The Poultney Journal does well to
remind us all of the great editor who
started his life work in that beauti-
full village. In his later years Gree
ley said of Poultney: Il have never
since known a community so gener-
ally moral, industrious and friendly
never knew one where so much
good was known and so little evil said

Peculiar Life Of Metastasio, the Cole.

brated Italian Poet.
Metastasio (1G9s-17S2), the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
FIVE years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn 1t.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but Italian, Metastasio possess
ed many pecuiarlties Of character.
None might mention death in his pres
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made 1t point not to
see again. In all his ffty-fve years
In Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent Of S25 to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church, but never paid for 1t.
He took all his meals in the most mys-
ferrous privacy. His greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but a
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home He never changed his wig or
the cut or color Of his coat.
Metastasio was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the dellrlum Of his last moments. Mrs.

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and pub'r

The Banner most certainly agrees
with the Vergennes Enterprises
view that the governor was not justi-
fed in vetoing the bill fixing low
rate of tax on intanglibles on the
ground he specified, namely that it
would reduce savings banks deposits
and so lessen the states income. The
bill was drawn to take effect April
1, 1912 only six months before the
next legislature convenes and any eff
feet it would have had on the states
revenue in that time would have
been infinitestimal. We shauld like
to see the law tried for year or two
Just to see if it would not make
things a little fairer for those Of us
who are compelled to borrow money
and pay interest. AT the same time
we do not think that any serious
harm has been done. The matter is
now brought forcibly to the attention
of the state and if the state wants it
it ought to be able to get it in 1912.

Was Long the Custom There.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re-
form carried out by the late king Of
Siam was the abolition Of the arbi-
trary rule Of etiquette which forbade
an inferior I'm rank to raise his head
above that If superior or even level
with Il. The inferior must not even
pass over bridge while superior
was underneath II, nor must he enter
room in an upper story while SUI
perior was occupying room beneath
II. Servants approached their mas
ters on hands and knees. This Gus
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite Of the royal edict, for many Of
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce II.
In 1874 the king held large court,
at which no one present presumed to
appear otherwise than on hands and
knees. u was at this audience that
the edict fOrhiddlng the custom was
read 20 the PROSTATE multitude. They

Tho Bennington Banner gives the
legislative reporters a good-natured
rap for their failure to hit, in their
reports of the final adjournment, the
exact minute at which the fall OF the

has multiplied to such an extent that
the job comes the nearest to chattel

man undertake. The newspaper re-

their failure to get at the real In
wardness OF a situation, but a hun
