BABYS PlTIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old was
suffering with terrible eczema from head
TO foot, all over her body. The baby
looked just like a skinned rabbit. We
were unable TO put clothes on her. At
first IL seemed TO be few mattered
pimples. They would break the skin
and peel of leaving the underneath skin
red as though it we're scalds. Then a
few more pimples would appear and
spread all over the body leaving the
baby all raw without skin from head to
foot. But on top Of her head there
appeared heavy scab a quarter Of an
inch thick. 1t was awful to see SO small
baby look as she did. Imagined The
doctor was afraid to put his hands TO
the child. We tried several doctors
remedies but all failed. Then we de-
cided to try Cuticura. After three DAYS
you could see the body gaining q little
skin. Now the baby is four months
old. She Is fine picture of a fat little
baby and all is we'll We ured Cuticura

eENNINoroN.poRsEr RAILROAD

The building OF a steam railroad
from Bennington, VT, to Dorset, VT,
passing through the towns of Glasten-
bury, SALISBURY, Arlington and Man
chester, seems to be assured. A
charter for such a road has been ask
ed for and the matter has passed to
third reading in the Legislature. The
name Of the corporation Is The Ia
comic Valley Railroad Company. The
prospects are at present that the
building of the road viii be common
ced next spring. The Bennington in
corporators of the proposed road are
Collins NJ. Graves, Guy b. Johnson,
b. J. Hall, John Nash and Henry T.
Cushman. A charter has already
been granted for a steam road, the
Mettowee Railroad, from Dorset to
Lake 81. Catherine, and it is prob
able that the line to be built from
Bennington to Dorset will also build
the Mettowee road. 1t is understood
that the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad is behind the en-
terprise. Times.
Building railroads on paper is all
amusing game. II all the charters
that have been applied for in Yer
mont had resulted in actual construc.
ton, the map Of the state would look
far different than it does at the pres
ent time. AT the same time when
steps are taken TO secure a right OF
way for railroad in Vermont IL is
generally conceded that the incorpor-
ators or interests in whose behalf
they are working have in view the
building of the line for which char.
ter is asked.
This latest application for a char
ter has been the cause of consider
able speculation. The inference that
the New York, New Haven and Hart.
ford company is behind the project
may be good guess, but it is un-
doubleday only guess for the reason
that railroad corporations when look
ing for charters are not in the habit
of throwing out much information.
1t Is not at all likely, however, that
the Taconic railroad, If it ever comes
into actual existence, will have been
constructed by an independent com.
pany. The day of Independent short
line railroads took its place in his
tory a number OF years ago. 1t is
therefore reasonable to conclude thai
there must be some material backing
| behind the new venture II the Ia
comic road should become reality
In the near future as a connecting
link between lines already in opera
ton the result could not fail to work
to the advantage OF this community
which has always suffered much in
convenience because of the fact that
there is no through line OF road op
Grating through the village.

Lump Sum for Lsalslators

The increasing length OF the legisla
tive session from year to year. has
naturally led people to seek the cause
While Vermont's business Is growing
larger year by year II is not growing
so rapidly that II must needs take
twice as long to transact Il as II did
but few years back. An extended
session now and then may DO excused
but 1t seems TO be getting to be a con
firmed habit, The present session Is
going to be long one. Its predeces-
sor was a long one. Now II the next
one is also a long one that would
make three In succession and three
In succession would establish a prece-
dent so strong that would be din
cult to break II.
The suggestion is made that the
method Of payment for legislative la
Dor be changed. Instead of paying
s4.OO per day fat II is urged that the
lump sum plan for the session should
be adopted. This is the plan used In
New York state as well as in many
other states OF the union. The legis-
lators under this plan would receive
the same amount OF compensation for
a short session that they would for a
long one. 1t would naturally lead TO
expedition on the part OF those mem.
bers with whom the pay is first con
sideration. There can be little doubt
that the present plan leads just as
naturally to long session.
The majority OF legislators have
very little to do with legislation.
They are there to vote on measures
that are introduced and pushed by
the leaders. They listen patiently To
the debates, attend TO their routine
duties, live n life OF comparative lei
sure, with plenty OF good companions
lship. SO long as they are sure OF
$500 q day II does not worry them
much II they are held to the job by
those who are running things In
fact there are no doubt some who
would not be averse TO nursing the
job along little.
II their compensation was repre-
sented by n lump sum. subject to nc
Increase or diminution. the Ions
winded debates over trivial matter,
and annoying delays that might cas-
lily be avoided would look entirely
different TO them. Il would prohabl,
make little difference to the leaders
who do not 40 to Montpelier for IN,
pay which they receive. but II woul,
have an influence on the large mum
Der who go because they are electe,
and who do little more than to vot,
and work In committees. They woul,
be likely to use their votes In favo
OF expedition where now they are In
different.
II Is a step In the right direction
and the present legislature will d
well to heed the suggestion. Hurting

BELIEVE MAN INSANE
Richmond Farmer Fires Bullets
Through Roof

Burlington, Jan 10.--When Sheriff
Allen went to Richmond Saturday
morning to arrest Salay G. Thomson,
farmer of that place he did not rel
ish the job as much as he might have
had he known that volley of bullets
was likely to be his greeting. Thorn
son, who owns one of the best farms
In the vicinity of Richmond, has been
source of trouble to the selectmen
of Richmond for some time.
The man lives alone and is said to
keep two fierce bulldogs and his
house is said by the authorities TO
be regular arsenal Thomson has
been terrorizing the whole neighbor-
hood for weeks by shooting through
the walls of his house at people pass
ing his place His kitchen walls are
said to be perforated with bullet holes
from his having stood inside and shot
at people who were passing
According to the Richmond author
tiles, the man Is laboring under the
impression that someone is trying TO
rob him and he is said to lose no
chance to fire few shots at anyone
who happens near his house. Sheriff
Allen stated that the metal roof OF
the barn OH the Thomson place Is
full OF bullet holes. Thomson hav-
ing fired many shots through It..
Thomson also painted his barn white
for a distance of several feet from
the ground. which. according to his
story enables him to see any person
passing between his house and the
barn. when, il is alleged, he takes a
shot or two at the fancied intruder
with a big rifle not being particular
to step out in the open but blazing
away through a house wall or a win
dow or anything else that obstructs
his view.
The selectmen of Richmond decid-
ed to have Thomson arrested and
he'd pending a hearing to determine
whether he should be placed in
charge OF a guardian. The man was
arrested on a charge OF breach Of
the peace and was brought to Bur
lington by Sheriff Allen Saturday af-
ternoon and placed in jail. He rails.
ed no disturbance when placed under
arrest
