a striking innovation in the direc-
ion Of enforced medical examination
Of women has been suggested by the
Swiss Society of public Utility for
Women. The proposition is that
!1ung Swiss women should undergo
a medical examination on the same
system as their brothers when enter
ing the army; that the measures
should be made compulsory, and that
a certificate of health and fitness for
motherhood should be issued to each
young woman who passes the exam
nation.
In a recent report of the society,
Swiss women were urged to undergo
examination for the sake of them
selves and their country. The ex-
tremIsts in the society wish the test
TO be applied to both men and women,

Upon great disasters there always
follows flow of eloquence in ora
tory and pathos expressed in prose
and poetry. In the few weeks that
have transpired since the loss of
the Titanic much of the above char
acter has been memorially offered.
In poetry, probably nothing applying
upon the last great horror as yet
equals Cowper's Loss of the Royal
George" or Walt Whitman's Gap
tain, 0 My Captain" (the latter
written after the assassination of
Lincoln). Among the very best,
however, comes a requiem written
upon the return of the Mackay-Ben-

court of the District of Columbia

GAS she entered the harbor of
Halifax the bells of the city were
tolled. News item.)
Let the bells toll
From bare Newfoundland to the
Golden Gate,
AS that dark vessel from the sea-
roll
Brings up her CHASTITY freight.
Toll for the dead brought home
To no such greetings as they looked
to find.
Toll for the dead that still must
grope and roam
Where the deep sea-streams
wind.
Toll for the great ship gone
To seek her harbor in the unsunned
shore,
Or voyage through the green CULTS,
on and on,
Aimless, forevermore.
Toll for the pomp that fell,
The fiower-soft luxury and sleek de-
light,
Careless of low heavens or the whit
tening swell
The laughing Sybarite!
Toll for the. maddening speed
That flew straight on where death
in ambush layi
Yet speak, oh, bell-tones, of noble
deed,
Before you die away
No coward fear, no strife!
Toll proudly for the brave hearts
bravely sped,
Manhood that could not pay that
price for life
Woman and childhood dead.
For them, let the bells TOLL
No stone may ever mark their burial
spot,
But while true greatness speaks
from soul to soul,
Theirs shall not be forgot.
Pride, greed, self-love go down,
AS the Titanic foundered in the
main,
And plain, strong ways that gave
mans life it's crown
Come back, come back again!

New Drug That Quickly Removes

There's no longer the slightest
need of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as a new drug, othine-
double strength has been discovered
that positively removes these home
ly spots.
Simply get one ounce of othine-
double strength, from w. B. East
man and apply little of it at night,
and in the morning you will see that
even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the lighter ones
have vanished entirely. 1t is seldom
that more than an ounce is needed to
completely clear the skin and gain
a beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine, as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails
to remove freckles.

The Morrisville Messenger in an
able editorial advocates the passage
of law exempting the land, stock
and buildings on abandoned farms
from taxation for a period of five
or ten years if anyone will buy them
and restore them to their former
productivity and says it believes that
10000 good citizens could be added
to the population of Vermont in ten
years by the passage of such an act.
Vermont does not need to wait for
the passage of such an act. 1t al
ready has a law exempting such
farms from taxation for a term of
years if anyone will occupy them as
a homestead.
