The Canadian reciprocity
measure, which was recently
passed by congress, was turn
ed down by the people of that
dominion at the election held
on Sept. 2lst. The failure of
Canada to approve this mea-
sure will put a new aspect on
the political situation in this
country next year, and wheth-
er or not it will aid or hurt
President Taft, is a question
upon which sentiment is di-
vided at this time. Had the
measure been approved by
Canada, it would undoubtedly
have become 1.-THE paramount
ISSUE in next years cam
paign. As it is, the issue is
a dead one and need not be
discussed.

The Banks Have Money

to lend when there is money
on deposit.
If yon and | should send
all of our money to Chicago
or elsewhere, it would not
take long to have the country
full of merchandise and short
for money.
This community produces
hay and grain, cattle and
sheep, together with labor
bringing in the money with
which business is transacted.
The money spent here, in
time gets into the banks and
the bands have money to lend
when necessary.
Should we keep the money
in Bear Lake County?
Suppose the merchant
sends away so per cent of
the money you spent with
him. He pays the other so
per cent out in taxes and for
living and you get a chance
at the so per cent he does
not send away. If, however,
you send to Chicago for your
good, you decrease til g
amount of money in eircula-
ton just that much.

DAM BROKE AWAY.
Large Pond Built at Lyndon Center
Last Summer Poured Flood On
Residents in the Night.

The lower pond built on Speed
we'll Farms last summer just above
Lyndon Institute sprang a leak Fri
day evening through the earth
around the core wall at the east end
and at ten o'clock tore out a hole
about ten feet square letting a great
volume of water down the brook
channel and on to some of the vii
layers below. No human lives were
lost but five sheep were drowned,
several houses and cellars flooded
and some of the inmates were obliged
to wade through the water to reach
dry land Occurring in the late
evening and with the sound dead
ened by the snow the inmates of the
houses had no warning until the.
water poured in upon them. The
pond covered about ten acres and
was from 15 to 18 feet deep in some.
places. The ice broke up in the
sudden draining of the pond and
large quantities of it was carried
down stream until the flood spent
itself on the meadow.
At A. e. Batche1der's house the
water struck them so suddenly that
as soon as the family could get
dressed they had to wade through
the icy water to their waists to
safety. The water reached the
window stills in the house. Mrs.
Eggleston who lives in Hannah Cur
rier's house had no warning of
danger until the water and ice
broke through the door. The barn
at that place was also damaged.
The barn cellar at A. A. Batchelder's
place was flooded and some water
got into the house OF w. H. Downer
near the bridge.
At L. B. Harris the water got
into the barn and swept five sheep
down on the meadow drowning them.
The water reached the sides of the
horse and two cows in the stable and
a pig swan around his pen for nearly
three quarters of an hour before he
was rescued. He was so carefully
cared for when removed to the
kitchen and bore the dose of not
sling so we'll that there is prosper
Mr.. Harris may be able to offer a
special brand of picked pigs feet
and tongue when he slaughters the
pig.
In passing over the highway large
cakes of ice we're left in the street
but the students at the agricultural
school went to work and had the
highway cleared before daylight.
While there was considerable
damage and very unpleasant expert
ences for some of the people living
beside the brook channel the damage
and danger was greatly reduced by
the fact the ground was covered with
such a coating-ef ice that the water
id not gully the ground. Mr..
Batchelder's people moved into Milo
Chambers house on Monday to stay
until their place is repaired.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Systems That Resist the Germ.
By DIR. PARKER MURPHY.

BY DIR. PARKER MURPHY.
Men who lead clean, temper
ate, sensible and sanitary lives,
who give the body the attention
which is its due, will stand the
best chance against the germ of
consumption.
The single exception might be
the individual inheriting a weak
or enfeebled constitution. Even
here a knowledge of the weak
ness and an effort to overcome it
will go far toward safeguarding
the individual.
Alcoholism-that is, drunken
ness-will weaken the body so
that it is particularly susceptible.
Privation-thati is, lack of prop
er and nourishing food-will eff
feet a condition which cannot
successfully resist the germ.
Incorporate habits-that is, ex-
cessive use of drugs, tobacco,
stimulating beverages, ETC., lack
of proper rest, indulgence of
physical passions, etc.-will en-
gender a condition which cannot
resist the germ.

The END or TUBERCULOSIS
Value of Education.

BY DR.. EDWARD L. TRUDEAU.
The first and greatest need in
the prevention of tuberculosis is
education of the peo-
pie and through them education
of the state. 1t is evident that
if every man and woman in the
United States were familiar with
the main facts relating to the
manner in which tuberculosis is
communicated and the simple
measures necessary for their
protection not only might we
reasonably expect as direct re-
suit of this knowledge a great
diminution in the death rate of
the disease, but the people would
soon demand and easily obtain
effective legislation for it's pre-
vention and control. When a
state has once become well edu-
Gated and not before will the
other requisites necessary to>the
control of the disease be forth
coming.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Cows and Hoss-and Men.
BY PRESIDENT TAFT.


We have an agricultural de-
partment, and we are spending
$14,000,O0O or SIS, 1000, 900 a year
to tell the farmers by the results
of our research how they ought
to treat the soil and how they
ought to treat the hogs and how
they ought to treat the cattle
and the horses, with a view to
having good hogs and good cat
tie and good horses. There is
nothing in the constitution espe-
cially about hogs or cattle or
horses, and if out of the public
treasury at Washington we can
establish a department for that
purpose it does not seem to be a
long step or a stretch of logic
to say that we have the power
to spend the money in a bureau
of research to tell how we can
develop good men and good wo-
men. Some of our enthusiastic
conservators of national re-
sources have calculated how
much the life of each man and
each woman in the community
is worth to that community. l
do not think it necessary to re-
sort to that financial calculation
in order to justify the saving of
human life, such as can be ac-
complished by the results of re-
search and advice that will pro-
coed from properly established
bureau of health.

MARCH CLUB MEETING
CONTINUED from page ID


request of a number of members,
but no action was taken.
The chairman or the club house
committee, Mrs. Rebecca Fairbanks,
announced a new proposition to be
considered, the purchase of the
property formerly owned by the late
DIR. Folsom on Cherry street, which
location is ideal, an auditorium can
be built on the east side, the barn re-
moved, and with some repairs on the
interior it could be made very con-
venient and attractive club house.
Porches and piaZZas could be added
later, and the large lawn could be
used for the lawn party or any out
door gathering. This proposition was
briefly discussed before the pro-
gram.
Mrs Ralph B. Hooker, chairman
of the music committee, announced
the program as printed last week.
A piano solo by Miss Alice B. Warden
was very artistically rendered.; a
pleasing solo was sung by F. B.
Jacques, with Mrs. Jacques as &C
companist; charming double
number was very much enjoyed as
sung by Mrs. Ida P. Brooks, accom-
panied by Mrs. Joseph Fairbanks;
Miss Helen NJ. Peterson gave reci-
tation which was very we'll received;
Mrs. Anna S. Cross delighted the
audience with pressing selection
from the new popular opera, 1.-THE
Arcadians," accompanied by Miss
Warden; Mrs. Cleona T. Miltimore
played very brilliant solo with very
fluent technique, Mrs Joseph Fair
banks accompanying.
Following the program business
was resumed and it was voted to
release the option on the lot on
Eastern Avenue, previously con-
sidered for the club house. Several
members spoke very favorably of
the new project one member saying
she felt sure if the club took hold of
it they could push it through.
Members of the committee answered
whatever questions were asked and
after quite free discussion vote was
taken to have the present COM
mittee retained and a subcommittee
appointed by the president to can
vass the club again to ascertain how
much money can be raised among
the club members, with prospective
shares of stock at $40, and with the
new proposition, to purchase the
Cherry street property, in mind, the
option to be held until the April
meeting.

NO LICENSE MEETING.
Speakers at The Colonial Gave
Reasons Why Open Saloon Should
Not Come,

The main floor of The Colonial
was we'll filled at the union meeting
last Sunday evening to hear reasons
why the open saloon should not be
allowed in ST. Johnsbury. Music
was furnished by the instrumental
club of the Academy. Prayer was
offered by the Rev. S. G. Barnes of
the South church. Rev. G. w. G.
Hill of the North church in calling
the meeting to order said that the
question of personal habits or the
principle of total abstinence were
not to be discussed, the meeting was
simply to consider whether or not ST.
Johnsbury wanted the open saloon.
He introduced States Attorney R.
w. Simonds who presided at the
meeting. Mr.. Simonds in his open
ing remarks said that he kept a
record of the first 100 criminal cases
he tried and found that in SO of them
the cause was intemperance. w. J.
Bige1oW spoke briefly showing how
much more liquor was brought into
Burlington under license than when
the city voted no. Joseph Fairbanks
made strong appeal to the citizens
to act in way that would give them
civic pride. The Rev. Peter Black
spoke at some length on conditions
he had found in different states. The
Rev. T. J. Leonard spoke saying that
he was opposed to the introduction
of the open saloon here because he
b1ieved where one person was drink
ing liquor now there would be a
dozen with the open saloon.
F. H. Brooks, L. P. Slack, w. G..
Rodliff, Rev. Peter Black and George
Burbank were appointed a committee
to continue an organized effort of
those opposed to the open saloon
against it's Introduction here.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Stamping Out the Disease.
By HOMER FOLKS.


There is absolute unanimity,
too, among our expert authori-
ties (as there was not a decade
ago. as to just what we need to
do in order to prevent tuberculo-
sis. We must have general pub
lie education as to the nature
and symptoms of the disease,
and we have it. We must have
reporting of cases by physicians,
and we are getting it. We must
have free dispensaries in every
city and considerable village at
which any person can secure an
expert and thorough diagnosis
of his condition and adequate in
structions as to what he must
do, and we are getting dispense
ries. We must have visiting
nurses to visit the patients in
their homes and instruct them,
not once, but many times, in the
protection of their households.
We are getting visiting nurses.
We need, above all, hospitals in
the larger cities and county
hospital in every county, and we
are getting hospitals.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Consumption-A Disease of the
Poor.
By CHARLES c. DURYEE.

BY CHARLES c. DURYEE.
Consumption is distinctly a
disease of the poor, and it is we'll
to look squarely in the face the
fact that among the poor, who
constitute a large proportion Of
the total population, diseases
such as this which develop slow
ly and run a comparatively long
course are apt to have little re-
medal medical treatment. The
physician is not called in, as a
rule, until the disease has devel-
oped to an extent which inter
feres with the daily work of the
patient 1t has then passed, in
many cases, the stage of RENE
dial treatment, and even if there
be hope of recovery the family
feels itself under the necessity
of curtailing expenditure in ev-
cry possible way. This is one
of the chief reasons why the dis
ease is such a drain on commu-
nifty vitality. Why should COM
munities hesitate to build hos
pitfalls, establish dispensaries and
employ visiting nurses to stop
this drai in?
