NO REASON FOR IT
When Eiaeksoct Citizens Show the
Way

There can be no just reason why
any reader of this will continue to
suffer the tortures of am aching back,
the annoyance of urinary disorders,
the dangers of serious kidney ills
when relief is so near at hand and
the most positive proof given that
these ills can be- cured. Read what
a Blackfoot citizen says:
James Peacock, 30 S. Main St.,
Blackfoot, Idaho, says: II still have
great faith in Doan's Kidney Pills
and will again recommend them for
the benefit of other kidney suffer

dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills after they
had helped me greatly and at this
time can say that the benefit they
brought has been permanent. l was

Alderman Wiley stated that the prop
erty committee signed no contract with
the company to pay for the telephone
service other than the putting in and
removing of the instrument and that
it was the understanding of the prop
erty committee that there would be no
other charge. He said that he knew
of no bill being paid for the telephone
in previous years On motion of Alder
man Wiley, the matter was referred
to the property committee.
Alderman Wiley reported that w, A,
Lane had complained that the surface
water from Burnham street was run
ming into his shed because of the chang
ing OF the grade of the street. Referred
to the street committee. President
Thurston said that the city engineer
wanted to know what the city was GO
ing to do with the old fire station build
ing on Prospect street The president
said that one corner Of the building was
in the street and If the city was going
to move the building back, the en-
gineer wanted to know it before he be-
gan grading the street Referred to
the property committee to investigate
and report. Alderman Wiley stated
that the question OF a janitor for the
city building would be up for considera-
ton on May |, and Alderman Rossi
moved that the property committee
bring in recommendations at the next
meeting. The motion prevailed.

LAPLAND BABIES.
For Their First Few Months They Livs
In Wicker Baskets.

For Their First Few Months They Livs
In Wicker Baskets.
Little Laplanders spend the first
few months OF their existence In bas-
kets OF wickerwork provided at the
top with conical framework too
close for the baby to fall through and
yet giving the infant plenty of light
and air.
Before commencing her work for the
day the Lapp mother places her child
in the basket and hangs II ON the limb
OF some nearby tree, occupation being
found for the little one by stringing
toys under cord passed across the
top Of the basket.
Thus provided the child spends the
entire day in the open and yet at the
same time Is guarded from the trou-
bles and dangers Of outdoor child life
In other countries.
The basket idea curiously parallels
the Indian idea Of strapping the pa
poose into carrying case. but the
Lapp baby has the advantage over Its
indian fellow In that its limbs are I'M
confined and a certain amount OF lib
erty of movement Is afforded.
The child is carried from place to
place In the same basket, the cord by
which 1t is attached to a tree being
slung over the shoulder.

Plumley finds himself in about the same
relative rank on the agriculture COM
mittee, which is sixth of the minority
party; but on the war claims commit
tee, he is moved along to the second
ranking minority member, being headed
in the Republican assignment on the
committee by Representative Morse of
Wisconsin, Like Representative Plum

lively newcomer in the House, hav-
ing served one more session than the

From the above, it will be seen that
while Vermont has lost somewhat in the
number of assignments, largely because
of the new rules regarding committee
holdings, it retains its more important
positions.

The proposal for biennial elections in
Massachusetts is little different than
the system in Vermont, for instead of
having the legislature in session only
once in two years, as in Vermont, it
is proposed to have the Massachusetts,
solons come together yearly. So Mas
sachusetts will not be gaining anything
to speak of by the change, inasmuch as
it has annual sessions of the legislature
now; and the two years term might

yERMONT'S PLACES ON HOUSE
COMMITTEE.

In the assignment of positions on the
standing committees of the new House
OF Representatives, Vermont's two rep
resentatives have lost somewhat of their
position in the last session of Congress.
During the previous Congress, Repre-
sentative Foster Of the first Vermont
district was a member of the commit
tees on foreign affairs and reform in
the civil service; but in the reassign-
ment he is dropped from the latter com
mittee although he retains his impor-
tant place as chairman OF the foreign
relations committee, This loss of place
on the lesser committee is probably due
20 the new rules, which tend to re-
strict membership In other standing
committees when so important a post
rs chairman of the foreign relations
committee is held. In this respect, Rep
resentative Foster finds himself treat
cd much the same rs are the other
members, notably those in Massachu-
sets.

was also the loss Of a committee as

VERMONT TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
HANIPERED.

HAMPERED.
The annual report of the Vermont san
atorium at Pittsford, which has just
been issued, shows how very restricted
is the work of fighting tuberculosis in
Vermont because of the small accom-
modations for the care or patients. The
entire number which could be treated
at the Pittsford institution last year
was only LOG, of which three counties
furnished more than one.half, Rutland
leading with 81, Washington county be-
ing second with Is and Chittenden coun-
ty third with Is patients. That the
state institution at Pittsford is doing
about all that could be expected of it is
indicated by the announcement that the
number of patients increased last year
nearly twenty-five per cent, while the
institution incurred deficit of upwards
of $4,000 during the year. BY that we
Judge that the institution is overtaxed
by the expenses for treatment, not
enough money being available to carry
on the work which might be hoped for,
and, moreover, the accommodations are
not sufficient to accommodate more
than small percentage of cases in Yer
mont. The state ought to extend the
work by building another institution
and by increasing the funds for care
of the institution already built.
