income. but it suggests what a
splendid thing it would be for Yer
mont to own similar tracts in the
Green Mountains, which would not
only safeguard the states scenery,
but furnish excellent examples of
forestry to the private owners, and,
last but not least, yield perma-
nent income to the state. Forest
land properly managed should yield
a permanent net income of from So
to So an acre, so the revenue from
tracts of 10000 acres might be ex-
pected to range somewhere between
$4,000 and 100000.
OF the four state forests in YER
mont, only one of them, consisting
Of 500 acres, the L. r. Jones forest
in Plaintield, is practically self sup
porting and will soon yield profit.
This land with considerable wood
and lumber on it has cost the state
about SIS an acre, and it is an adj
mirable example of great tracts
which can be purchased at a similar
price.
The fact that these lands in
Maine are to be eventually devoted
to the support of the schools re-
minds us that there are in Vermont
considerable areas of school lands
belonging to the various towns.
The question naturally arises as to
whether these lands are being man
aged for the benefit of the schools of
the state, or of the individuals who
hold the leases. Many of these
tracts are natural forest lands, and
as such should yield a permanent
income of no little value to the
towns.

teachers of the. public schools of
that town DR.. Young addressed over
200 men and women, largely par
ents, at two intensely interesting
lectures on the same subject the
first week in February, thus showing
that deep impression was made by
her first visit, and also that the
teachers were doing all in their pow
er to have this subject properly
treated, and spoken of before those
vitality interested in the young people
and children.
In a report of a recent meeting of
the Royalton Woman's club the
Mortified News says that this club
has accomplished many worthy
things in the % years of it's exis-
tence, but it's browning achievement
is starting the movement for provid-
ing the town of Royalton with a his
tory, which is receiving praise from
prominent educators and personsN of
literary ability, and which is called
the best town history ever published
in the state.
The annual meeting of the Yer
mont State Federation of Women's
clubs is to be held in Montpelier on
June 4 to 6. The opening meeting
will be the evening of June A.
Two new clubs have recently voted
to join the Federation, the Outlook
of Bristol and the Cleaners of Barre.
Miss May Wiley of ST. Johnsbury,
the first young lady in Vermont who
had the benefit of the scholarship
fund established by the Vermont
State Federation of Women's clubs,
is now teaching in a rural school
near Springfield, and is having splen-
did success. The church and her
school are trying some experiments
holding lectures and meetings at
this rural school, which is about
three miles out and they are trying
to make the schoolhouses the social
center of that section. This was
hoped to be brought to pass in the
distant future and the fact that it
is already being put into practice is
a great triumph for the scholarship
movement. Miss Wiley has the
pupils in her school, Is in number,
graded, and they have a special
singing and drawing teacher once
week.
At a recent meeting of the AL
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-04-03

trurian Club of Springfield the roll
call was answered with a recipe,
the result Of which was found in the
dining room The food was sold, the
proceeds amounting to Sc, which
was given to the scholarship fund of
the Vermont Federation of Women's
Clubs, which educates two young
women yearly at normal school.
The Montpelier Woman's Club has
made plans for entertaining the
State Federation in June. The
chairman of the social committee
will have charge of the preliminary
arrangements, and can name her
own assistants. The club at it's last
meeting voted $25 for the Vermont
Teachers Retirement Fund.

EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION
How Burlington Profited by Encour-
aging Corporation.

Burlington was called upon to
consider the question of exempting
the Queen City Cotton Co., from
taxation for the purpose of getting
them to locate in their city several
years ago. The consideration was
favorable and they were exempted
from taxation with the following re-
suit:
The Queen City Cotton Co., pur-
chased one half of a farm owned by
H. r.. Conger in 1894, upon which
they built their factory. The bal
ance of the Conger estate was divid-
ed into building lots which we're
improved by building houses and
small stores.
The list showed that the Conger
estate, in 1894, was valued at
$4,000. In 1911 the list of the Queen
City Cotton Co., on their half of
the Conger estate stood at $4,000
for taxation. While the list for the
other half of the Conger estate
showed valuation, in 1911, of So
$50 with few scattered small prop
critics the figures were not obtained
upon.
Give these figures your consider
alton and decide in your own mind,
if it is worth while to vote to ex-
empt the AMERICAN NEWS-VEND-
ING MACHINE COMPANY from
taxation at the coming town meet
ing.

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES.
Address by DIR. Young at Mid-Year
Meeting of Vermont Federation.

The ladies of st. Johnsbury and
vicinity who were fortunate enough
to hear DR.. Evangeline Young of
Boston in her address before the
Federation gathering at Lyndonville
last June will be interested to know
that at the mid-year meeting of the
Vermont Federation held at Spring
field in November, $500 was appro-
priated to furnish eight lectures by
DR.. Young on the subject of hygiene
in different parts of the state. The
towns in which there are women
clubs which have been and are be-
ing benefited by this appropriation
and these lectures are Brattleboro,
Barre, Northfield, Burlington, Bel
lows Falls, White River Junction
and Bennington and Rutland. The
first week in January Dr., Young
gave her lecture under the auspices
of the Woman's club at Brattleboro,
and was listened to by large aud
fence of representative women of
that town and at the close of the lee
ture a majority came forward to
meet her and sign a petition to the
legislature to grant needed legisla-
ton as to reporting and quarantin-
contagious diseases. AS a dir
ect outcome of this meeting at Brat

The rush and hustle Of American
life is a constant strain on both mind
and body. Gradually the human ma
chine wears out under this unnatural
strain and nervous debility results
Statistics show that half the people
Of the United States are in a run
down condition.
A man or woman in this condition
can get little happiness or success
out Of life. They feel tired all the
time, have no energy or ambition and
are gloomy, timid and respondent.
They do not sleep we'll or eat well of
feel we'll and life instead Of being
a pleasure seems more like a burden.
Are you one Of these half sick, list
less, nervous people? II so, do you
