What Makes Savings Bank Safer

The man or woman who thinks of max.
ing deposit Of his or her little savings,
oftentimes his or her all, naturally does
some hard thinking with reference to the
matter Of safety. There are great
many financial institutions which parade
at the head OF their announcements a
long list Of distinguished names, names
which are an ornament, and names OF
men whose association with any Savings
Bank ought to make a bank worthy Of
confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived by
these names. The names of General So
and So and Hon. So-andSo and Col. So
and-So do not belong to that class of d.
rectors who do not direct.
In this connection the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank has a word to say. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that the
managers of this bank have given to it's
investments such careful consideration
and scrutiny that in its more than twen-
| ty-three years of existence it has never
lost dollar by a poor note-a record
perhaps unparalleled in the history of
banks. Not only do its managers scru-
tinize with painstaking care every detail
connected with its investments, but the
results show that those investments are
made conservatively and with a deter
mination that safety rather than high
rates of interest shall be the guiding prin-
ciple of the Bank.
Parties thinking of making deposits
are invited to address the President,
Carroll S. Page, or the Treasurer, Frank
M. Culver, asking for a statement of its
assets and liabilities.
Deposits made either by registered mail
check, postal money order, or express
money order, are absolutely safe, as in
the twenty-three years experience not a
dollar has ever been lost by deposition
sending money to this bank by mail.

The Dying Hickory Trees.

On account of the value of the hickory
for shade, nuts, and many commercial
wood products, Circular IA of the
Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, by A. D. Hopkins,
is of special interest to the people of
iany community, county or state within
the natural range of this valuable tree.
1t appears that although there have
been several and sometimes complicated
causes for the death, within the last
ten years, of large percentage of the
hickory trees, Investigations have
proved that the hickory barkbeetle is
by far the most destructive insect
enemy, and is, therefore, in the majority
Fcases, the cause of the present ex-
Vensive dying of the trees.
The simple and practical methods
recommended in this circular will, if
put into practice between October and
May l, enable those interested to pro-
tect their trees.

Regular Meeting of the c. j. Bel
Pomona Granqe.

One of the most interesting and in
structive meetings of the c. j. Bell
Pomona Grange was held in Brandon,
VI, February IA, in the Grange hall.
There were about 200 present and there
was a large amount of interest mani
tested throughout the meeting.
The meeting was called to order at
10:45 a. m. by Worthy Master w. n.
Cady. All the officers but four were in
their chairs, which is exceptional. A
roll call found only few Oranges that
were not represented. After the bust
ness, the Master declared recess of
one hour for refreshments and a social
time. The dinners were eaten in the
dining room where excellent coffee was
served by Neshobe Grange, and every
one reported most enjoyable hour.
After recess the Grange was opened
in the fifth degree and quite large
class was obligated in that degree.
Following this a most interesting pro-
gram was presented by the worthy
lecturer, Mrs. S. G. Hawley, of Yer
gennes Grange, consisting of a few
eloquent words of greeting by Past
Master Knowlton of Neshobe Grange,
to which Bro. Cady responded in a fit
ting and pleasing manner; music, Mes

prepared by one of the younger mem
bers of Neshobe Grange, which showed
thorough preparation and understand
ing of his subject; essay, Trees for

tuberculosis Campaign.

New York state grange is entering
into a noble work by joining the move
ment started by several agencies work
ing together to stamp out tuberculosis.
1t is likely that the county hospital
idea will be carried into many rural
sections. Local oranges will be asked
to employ visiting nurses to care for
tuberculosis patients In hospitals. and
all members will be expected to help
by reporting to the health authorities
all suspected cases of tuberculosis; also
to see tha' proper sanitary precau-
tons are ta'-en during the sickness or
after the death of patient. A study
of the dread disease will be made. and
the work win be conducted along scien
tif1c lines. New York with her nearly
1000 oranges and 100000 members can
do great good to the suffering people OF
the state in this way.

. President Thomas of Middlebury col
lege gave the concluding discourse of
the series of five advertised Middlebury
college extension lectures to a large
and highly delighted audience here on
the evening of February 16. Notwith-
standing four of these thoroughly
thoughtful and enkindling lectures came
under terrific stress of weather, the
attendance has been appreciative and
satisfactory, so that future efforts in
the same direction are assured of in
creasing success and diffusing public
benefit, now that the ice of reluctance
is fairly yielding to the gentle touch of
milder and more melting beams. Be
assured the wistful mind will often turn
to Middlebury's fountain of wisdom as
the citizen of ancient Greece was wont
to visit Mount Hymettus for honey,
heather and marble.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta.
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
