Y. M. &C. a. Proqress,

County Secretary j. Sterling Moran
has gotten back from his vacation in
Virginia and elsewhere and is now Civ
ing his entire time to the development
of the work.
Besides the points already organized
there are requests from six new COM
munities to start the work as soon as
possible.
In the Middlebury association the sea-
sons work will be intensive as well as
extensive development along several
new lines.
Boy scout activities will be used for
the younger boys, while Bible classes,
Sunday afternoon meetings, practical
talks, boxing, wrestling, basket ball,
elementary work in electricity, and
manual training, all kinds of fall and
winter sports, hikes, ETC., will consti-
tute the program.
DR.. H. L. Averil has been the presi-
dent and local leader here for nearly
two years and during this time has given
entire satisfaction to the young men
themselves, which is the highest COM
plement that could be paid him as a
leader.
A request has come from several
young men who have not had High
school privileges that the association
start night school where they might
get training in English, mathematics,
penmanship, etc. There is also a move
ment started to teach English and citi-
zenship to the foreign-speaking people
in and around Middlebury.
Very much the same general lines of
work will be carried on in all the other
associations with notifications to suit
local conditions.
Boy Scout work has been started in
Middlebury with G. D. Rayhill as scout
master, in Shoreham with Rev. Charles
Waite scoutmaster and in Weybridge,
Warren c. Perkins scoutmaster.
The greatest need in Middlebury as in
all other places is leadership, of the
type who serve, not for reward. social
prestige or any other consideration save
their love for humanity.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ALL
Ample Room and PLENTY to Eat at
Vermont State Fair,

While the outlook is promising for the
largest crowds that have ever attended
the Vermont State fair, the public need
have no apprehensions that they will not
find ample accommodations both as to
lodging and meals, at White River juno
ton during the fifth annual exhibition,
September 10, 90. 81 and 90.
The White River junction Board of
Trade, promises to provide accommoda-
tons for all desiring them. Practi cally
every house in the town of Hartford has
opened its doors for the week that all
who attend the greatest fair in New
England may have comfortable accom-
modations.
A system of checking visitors has been
adopted, which insures no confusion re-
garding rooms. By writing the White
River Junction Board of Trade accom-
modations may be secured in advance.
On the grounds meals will be served
by several caterers and it will be no fault
of the management if anyone goes
hungry
The extra trackage built this season by
the State fair railroad company will per-
NIT of much better passenger service
from White River junction to the fair
grounds. All freight cars will now be
stored at the grounds upon arrival, which
will leave a clear main line for the pas
senger trains.
Uhlan, the famous trotter, to be seen
on every day of the fair, and in an exhi-
bition mile, will go to his home in Cleve-
land Immediately following the fair and
will not be seen again in New England
this year.
Jimmy" Ward, the famous Chicago
aviator, who will make three flights
daily, in Curtis biplane, beginning on
Wednesday, is an expert birdman. The
State Fair grounds are excellent for
starting and landing and good flying is
assured. The starts will be from the
oval formed by the trotting park
With the great attractions secured by
the State Fair commission and with the
greatest agricultural fair in New England
record crowds are expected. The rail
roads are offering low rates and special
trains.

Health as An Investment

AS an investment in the health of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions.
and one of the largest insurance com
panies in the United States have estab-
lished sanatoria for the treatment of
tuberculosis, according to a statement
issued today by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis.
The Royal League, the first fraternal
order to establish a sanatorium, con-
ducts hospital for its tuberculosis
members at Black Mountain. The mod
ern Woodmen of America conducts one
at Colorado Springs, the Workmen's
Circle, at Liberty, N. Y, and the indie
pendent Order of Foresters have one at
Rainbow Lake, N. Y, and will soon
open a second one at San Fernando.
Cal. The international Typographical
Union has since 1893 conducted a sana-
forum at Colorado Springs, and the In
ternational Printing Freshmen and As
sistants Union of America has recently
opened new institution at Rogersvlle,
Tenn. The Metropolitan Life Insurance
company is now erecting sanatorium
at Mt. McGregor, N. Y, which will be
the first of its kind to be established by
an ''old line" insurance company.
In addition to these institutions al
ready established, the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, the Forest
ers of America, the Knights of Column
bus, the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, and several other orders are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting
sanatoria for their tuberculosis men,
bers. Some of the large fraternal
orders and labor unions, like the Ladies
of the Maccabees of the World, the In
ternational Photo-Engravers Union and
others conduct educational campaipns
against tuberculosis, though they do
not have sanatoria of their own. The
Equitable Life Assurance society also
has recently established "Conserva-
ton Department in which the preven-
ton of tuberculosis will be given es-
pecial attention. Other insurance com
panies are considering similar action.
Since the membership of the leading
fraternal orders alone is nearly l5,OOO,-
900, the National Association estimates
that about 10000 members of these
lodges die of tuberculosis alone every
year. Since more than half of these
lives could be saved at comparatively
small outlay. the Association figures
that the fraternal orders are losing
millions every year in death claims
which might be saved.
