MOVEMENT HITS VERMONT.
Anti-allopathic Interests Getting Active
in This State.

Rutland, Feb. 9.-The agitation of the
anti-allopathc interests of the country
over the introduction in the United
States Congress Of the Owen bill-de-
signed to create national department
Of health, with its head occupying a
position in the presidents cabinet-and
other similar measures, has struck Rut-
land. "The National League for Med
ical Freedom" organized for the pur
pose Of defeating the passage Of this
bill, is making a systematic effort to
add members to its list which already
bears the names of prominent men in
all parts Of the United States.
The promoters of this league take the
stand that if the people of the country
are made aware of the significance of
these bills their passage viii never be
possible. They contend that the Amer
lean Medical association is behind these
measures which are designed to put the
prestige and power of the United States
government behind a health bureau d.
rected and managed BY the alopathic
school of healing and that such a de-
partment. should it be established, would
deprive the public of its constitutional
right to its choice in medical practi
TONER.
Membership blanks and literature in
regard to the work Of the National
League for Medical Freedom have been
sent to this city with the hope of bring
ing up the enrolment in Vermont, which
has been backward in the freedom"
move to that Of other states.

WANT WARD FOR ALDERMAN.
Some Reasons Presented by His Support
ers in First Ward.

Editor, Times; As it appears that
Mr. Even does not intend to allow his
name to be used as candidate for re-
election as alderman from ward one, we
would like to suggest the name of VIM.
H. Ward. With due respect to all 9th
ers who may be candidates for this
office, the many friends Of Mr.. Ward
believe he Is as well qualified to fill this
position as any man in the ward. We
should select for our officers men who
have made a SUCCESS of their own bust
ness, for you may rest assured ii man
cannot make success OF his own BUSH
ness he will make a failure OF yours
and mine.
We believe the progressive and honor
able business methods which have char
acterized the business OF Mr.. Ward in
private life would be carried straight
into all his relations with the city. For
many years he has been a resident of our
city, with large business interests In
our midst, and the good OF the city has
been, and IS, OF vital interest to him.
Many times our best business men are
loath to accept these positions, as their
own business demands their attentions;
and only at the earnest solicitation Of
his many friends did Mr. Ward finally
consent to be a candidate.
In short, we would say this man is
progressive, businesslike, capable and
honest; and we ask for your careful
consideration and then your vote to sup
port VIM IT, Ward for alderman from
ward one. Supporters.

Those who die early should surely
leave adequate insurance for their de-

always appreciate the proceeds of en-

TIMBY WAS INVENTOR.
Revolving Turret Was Idea o
Strange Character.

Revolving Turret was 1oe2 OF
Strange Character.
Many Of the old, residents OF WASH
ington well remember Theodore Rug
giles Timby, the inventor Of the monitor
type of coast defense vessels, whose
body is soon to be brought from New
York to Washington for reinterment.
Although Timby was not granted a
patent, John F. Winslow, John A. Girls
void. and c. s. Bushnell, who construct
ed the original craft, recognized the in
ventor as patentee. and paid him royal
ties accordingly. A bill was introduced
in Congress awarding Timby $4,000 as
compensation for his invention, but IT
failed to pass. Timby was the center of
attraction while at the Capital fighting
for his rights as inventor of the re-
volving turret, and working along vari-
Gus other branches Of science.
Timby was born at Dover, N. T., and
when a mere lad, conceived the idea Of
the floating dry dock, and device for
raising sunken vessels. but both Of the
inventions met with ridicule. 30 he de-
cided not to patent them.
