Good Health Resolutions.

Resolution number one: l will try to
become more intelligent concerning my
body, says Doctor Jean Williams in
Woman's Home Companion for January,
looking with greater respect upon my
physical resources and trying to realize
more fully that upon them the force and
success of my life largely depend.
Resolution number two: l will arrange,
If possible, to supply sufficient pure air
for every breath l take, thus better to
combat every source of disease that
might attack me, to improve my chance
for long life and to increase my effici-
ency.
Resolution number three l will be
kinder to my digestive organs, avoiding
all excess and not asking them to strug-
gle with food for which they have re-
peatedly shown antagonism.
Resolution number four l will treat
my brain and nervous system with great
err consideration, and fifty-six hours of
each week shall be devoted to sleep.
Resolution number five: | will try to
do In eight hours as much hard work as
| should do in one day.
Resolution number six: ! will devote
at least two of the twenty-four hours
to such exercises as find most beneficial,
Resolution number seven: / will give
my moral support to every effort, public
or private, in behalf of the betterment
of health conditions, so becoming a small
factor in the great movement for moral
and physical uplift.

shore though the width is more than two
hundred feet. The valley is the home
of the white and crimson clovers, which
grow in every nook and corner. OF the
trees native to the valley the rock or
sugar maple heads the list There is no
need to plant it on the Charles Downer
State Forest or elsewhere in this valley,
for it springs up everywhere with the
density of grass in a well kept field. The
white ash red oak, Eastwood hemlock
and the canoe-not the gray-brch grow
in profusion The black locust is seen
now and then as an introduced tree, but
it is to be planted on the state forest,
with view of ascertaining its adapta-
bility to Vermont lands and it's value in
commerce and agriculture. AS to the
black walnut, which it is proposed also
to give a trial on the state forest, there
will be naturally much interest as TO the
outcome of its tests. 1t is rarely if ever
seen in Vermont. even as an introduced
tree, but as such il grows to a large size
in Central Massachusetts.
In the last spring the following trees
were planted on the state forest: White
pine, 10 1000: red pine. 1000; Scotch pine,
10000, and Norway spruce, 5000, or a total
of $4,000 trees. AS soon as another spring
comes a goodlY share of the remaining
1857 trees will be set. Those planted
the asst spring made in the season a
very satisfactory growth,
In addition to the forest tree planting
the state nursery at the Agricultural Col
lege in Burlington maintains a branch
nursery at the Downer State Forest, and
i'm this are today some two hundred
thousand seedlings. a number designed
to be greatly increased next spring, so
that eventually the nursery will be able
to supply land owners in eastern Yer
mont with trees.
Work is already in progress thinning
the woodland, to the end of getting the
best possible growth.
The first of two demonstration apple
orchards is already planned 1t will be
five acres in extent and will contain a
total of 1876 trees. divided as to varieties
so in Northern Spy, 40 in Rhode Island
Greenng, and As in Macintosh Red. The
second orchard, for which the plans are
not yet perfected, will be nine acres in
extent, and. like all other demonstrations
In horticulture, will be under the supervi-
sion OF Professor NJ. b. Cummings, horti-
culturist. at the Vermont State Agricul-
tural College.
Connected with the estate Is a modern,
spacious residence. Plants and shrub
berry surround 1t. and the farm highways
are lined with stately pies pines, hem
locks and spruces. The estate abounds
with springs and streams of running
water. In the early summer meadows
and fields are red with the luscious and
matchless Vermont wild strawberries
and as the season advances the wild
raspberry and high blackberry are abund-
ant and both, like the wild strawberry
are matchless for flavor.-tG. A. Cheney

Gods Way.

God never would send you the darkness
If He thought you could bear the light,
That you would not cling to His guiding
If the way was always bright;
And you would not care to walk by faith
Could you always walk by sight
So He sends you the binding darkness
And the furnace of sevenfold heat
IT'S the only way, believe me,
To keep you close to His feet
For 1t is always so easy to wander
When our lives are glad and sweet
Then nestle your hand in your Fathers
And sing, If you can, as you CO.
Your song may cheer someone behind you
Whose courage is ebbing low.
And, well, If your lips do culver,
God loves you better so.

A DEED OF DARING;
MANY LIVES SAVED

A historic case OF daring and
endurance rarely equalled in life
saving annals was that of the
rescue of 81 souls by one man in
1867. The fishing schooner Sea
Clipper was driven by the tempest
against reef near the Spotted
islands on that coast and speedily
went to pieces. Captain William
Jackman, in charge of a fishing
crew at these islands, had wandered
in direction he had never been be-
fore, DIS if by inspiration. and sud-
denly saw the hole tragedy lenated
before his eyes.

Then help arrived, hut no n cans
was available of communicating
with the vessel, so Jackman fast

made IS more trips, returning
with a castaway on each occasion.
1t was then discovered that wom-
an had been overlooked and left on
board. and the belief u as expressed
that she as dead, but he declared
that he would not leave her there,
living or dead. Accordingly he
plunged irto the surf again and
soon bore the hapless creature to

BIG POKER STAKES

Many stories of big poker
games among the western cattle
men in the early days have been
told, but this story of the game
with probably the greatest stakes
is really true. Two we'll known
cattlemen of southwestern Kansas,
one of whom is now a prominent
business man in Kansas City,
started to move their herds to the
pastures of Wyoming. Each herd
contained more than "a thousand
head of cattle. When they came
to the crossing of the Arkansas riv-
er near Coolidge they found a flood
on. They were unable to cross for
two or three days. To while away
the time the two men engaged in a
poker game. When tile flood final
ly subsidized so that the cattle could
proceed one of the cattlemen said
to his son, who was helping to
drive, Just turn ny herd over to
our neighbor and we will 60 back
home He had bet and lost not
only all the money ne had, but all
of the herd of cattle.

EARLY RAILROAD filters

When the first passenger rail-
road ever built was opened in Eng.
land III 1925 the train Travelled
from one end of the line to the
other, n distance of twelve miles,
in two hours. And Wood, one of
the best known writer's on the sub
ject of railroads at that day, wrote
as follows:
Nothing can do more harm to
the adoption of railways than the
PRONUNCIATION of such nonsense as
that we shall see locomotives tray
cling at the rate Of twelve miles
an hour" Today, with locomotives
travelling at the rate of seventy
five miles an hour one can look at
WuGd's warning with a feeling of
amusement. In 1929 a locomotive
was introduced in this country, and
in the following year Peter Cooper
experimental with a locomotive on
the B. and o railroad. The fumes
of the boiler were made from gun
barrels. The boiler was about the
size Of a -four Darrell. Cooper re-
lated with considerable satisfaction

There came very near being a
very serious 'cident to the Tusca

turn was ahead of him and that
quick action must he taken or the
stage and its six passengers would
go tunbilng hundreds of feet into
the canyon below, John Able. the
driver, turned the horses into the
bank. upset the stage and stopped

Mr.. Turner mining engineer of
San Francisco, had one of his
ankles fractured. All the rest of
the passengers escaped with a bad
scare and lively shake-up. Mr..
Able and the passengers made
splints and bound up the Bagsque's
broken leg and brough him to
town. He VAS :aken to the Tele
