ARE YOU A BOOSTER?
IT'S A GREAT WORD.
Boost Your Town, Boost
Your Farm, Boost Your
Store.

If there is one word in the Eng
ish language more than another
that deserves to be carved indelibly
in the minds of men, it is the word
Boost" There is nothing very
nice about the sound of it, and its
origin seems to be matter of doubt
but there is no question at all as to
its meaning. ITO lift by pushing
from behind" is the way Webster's
dictionary puts it. and it should be
noted it says from behind
You've got to get behind thing to
boost it. Nowhere on earth are
there such boosters" as right here
in America, and it doesn't matter
where man may be from, he won't
talk ten minutes without mentioning
his home town and telling you some
thing good about it. He and his
fellow citizens feel that they are be
hind" their town to pnsh it into
prominence as best they can, and
wherever they may 60, no place is
too sacred, no surroundings too
grand to keep them silent.
Enthusiasm Like Measles.
What is good for town is also
good for the townsman, particularly
if he be property holder. You re-
member the man who said to the
farmer: Have you ever noticed
that your hens are hard workers.
but mighty poor boosters?" II
have" replied the farmer, but as
long as hen fruit is as popular as it
is, they don't need to boost" It
isn't so in business. however; the
town that wants the crowd must
crow for it. Some people spend
lot of time knocking the other town.
forgetting that every knock is a
boost for the other town. The best
possible way to get the people is to
fill your town with good live boost
ers that will get behind and push
with all the confidence and energy
that is in them. Enthusiasm is as
catching as measles, and how can
you expect other people to catch
what you show no signs of having
yourself?
Something Worth Boosting
That is one of the reasons why
we are so enthusiastic about the Pot
latch country. You can readily see
how our wide publicity will get be-
hind and boost your country into
prominence. So be a booster, Mr..
Man! Boost your town. boost your
country, and when you see what
boosting will do, go the harder.

interchangeable Mileage
Facts Worthy of Careful Consideration

The interchangeable mileage book regulation re-
curing the exchange of coupons for tickets has been
the subject of criticism Much of such criticism
arises because the exact facts and conditions are not
generally known.
In order that the public may be correctly informed
the railway companies make the following state
ment, having full faith in the fairness of public
opinion when the matter IS thoroughly understood.
An interchangeable mileage book, as It's name in
dicates, may be used for obtaining transportation
over any lire party to the interchangeable book ar
rangemen The coupons from these books are e0uiya-
lent to cash, and to safeguard their transmission TO
the Treasurer of each railroad company the require
ment is made for the exchange of the coupons at
ticket windows for transportation thus causing the
mileage coupons to be placed in the hand Of bonded
ticket agents who must account to the Auditing De-
partment of each line for their value
No will claim that it is unreasonable for rail-
way company to require traveller to purchase
ticket instead of paying the money the train
The object of this requirement is to have one man.
the ticket agent, handle the money and sell tickets
either for cash coupons from interchangeable
mileage book, and thus make record of what the
Company has sold; another man. the conductor, TO
collect the tickets and thus make record of their
use, and thereby have additional check against the
agent, who must account for the purchase price
either in cash or coupons.
The coupons from interchangeable mileage books
represent cash. for the that they are the only
evidence Of claim against the railroad selling the
mileage book, and the Company accepting such
for sale of ticket is paid by the road selling the
mileage book only upon presentation of the actual
coupons. This is not always possible where the
ductOr lifts the coupons the train because he does
not have the same facilities for safeguarding such
coupons, and should they become lost the railroad
honOring the mileage book would have no means of
securing proper compensation for the service per-
formed. The necessity of preserving each coupon is
therefore apparent.
Every well organized business concern adopts
regulations to insure the safety of It's cash.

Attention is invited to the check SYSTEM in depart

They good greater number of railroads.
There restrictions to the passenger trains
which exchange tickets purchased with inter
changeabe mileage coupons can be used.
They give the passenger the benefit of short line
mileage where it would not be practicable in many
instances If mileage coupons hOnOred the
train.
The exchange regulation is of benefit to the rail-
way companies for the following
1t insures proper accounting.
1t safeguards the accurate checking of baggage
1t relieves the conductors of much detail labor
thereby permitting them to give more time and at
tention to the operation of their trains thus insuring
to a greater degree the safety of passengers.
1t makes it possible to ascertain the volume of
passenger travel from each station and determine
the facilities necessary.
The exchange regulation has been the subject of
judicial review before Railroad Commissioners and
State Courts and the reasonableness of the require
ment has been sustained.
The regulations called into question in
before the Interstate Commerce Commission, ia
which that Commission said:
I'm A WORD, THE RIGHT TO USE EXCHANGE

Weights q nd Measures.

Rutland, Feb. Is. The members of
the department of weights and measures
in the State of Vermont have recently
formed an Association of Sealers of
Weights and Measures for this state for
the purpose of considering and dis
cussing matters of Importance in their
work. 1t seemed to the members that
the formation of such an Association
might facilitate the consideration of
questions pertaining to weights and
measures and might better insure
uniformity in the work and methods of
the department to which they belong.
The association invites any ndi-
vidual, or representatives of a cor
poration or association interested in
the subject to be present at its next
meeting February 28, 1912, at Mont
pelier, at which time it will be glad to
consider any and all suggestions offered
for the purpose of securing the better
accomplishment of the purposes of the
weights and measures law.

Brings Man Back to Life.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Again doctors
have performed the marvellous opera
ton of recalling the apparently dead to
life. This time the apparatus used was
the pulmotor.
David Haas was asphyxiated by
Illuminating gas in his room. For
more than three hours friends worked
over him. They failed to restore res
pration and Haas was given up as
dead.
Dr. J. Lewis was called in and sent
for pulmotor. In another three hours
Haas was able to sit up and express his
wonder and his thanks. He was COM
pletely restored not only to life, but to
health. He felt no i'll effects at ALL he
said.
DR.. Lewis said: Speaking medi-
cally, Haas was in a state of death when
the machine arrived. He was certainly
beyond all other aid. -
Those who witnessed the amazing
operation We're utterly awed as they
saw the spirit of life forced to return
That this simple apparatus has given
man new control over life and death
the doctors are certain. Haas is the
fifth who has been "called back. !"
Fifteen others who would have died
have been saved.
The pulmotor is a German device
The one used here is owned by the
Commonwealth Edison company. 1t
consists simply of tank holding oxy-
gen under pressure of 1000 pounds to
the square inch, with a pump and a
valve for reducing the pressure to two
pounds to the square inch. The oxygen
is pumped into the lungs direct through
an apparatus invented by DR.. Harry
M. Richter of the Northwestern uni
versity medical school.
When no pulmoter can be obtained an
ordinary vacuum cleaner can be used.
But this pumps only air into lungs
instead of oxygen.
