Marvellous Terminal.

The most wonderful thing about the
new Grand Central terminal station in
New York city is that it is built in the
identical spot occupied by the old with
out interfering with or even incon-
veniencing traffic. 1t is no unusual
thing for railroad engineers to replace
bridge or other structure without in
terfering with traffic; but such feat
has never before been performed on so
vast a scale. In the last nine years the
engineers have removed 200 old buildings
and % miles of pipes and sewers from
the area added to the enlarged terminal,
built an entire new sewer system to take
care of the drainage from the terminal
area, replaced the busiest railroad tun-
mel jim the world with new one, took
down an old station and replaced it with
a larger one, sunk the tracks to an aver
age depth of so feet below the surface,
largely through rock, and replaced it
with steel and concrete, all without in
juring a passenger or seriously delaying
train.
Another remarkable thing - this
greatest of passenger terminals will cost
nothing; or perhaps it would be more
ineligible to say that while the entire
improvement will cost $3.50, 600, 900 the
railroad will get it all back without
touching its transportation revenues.
So vast an improvement in so valuable
an area was quite beyond the means
even of two such big corporations as the
New York Central and the New York,
New Haven and Hartford, which will
also use the terminal. So the two COM
panies out-Brandeised the Boston eff

Decoration Day.

Editor Register:
Decoration Day, or Memorial Day, as
it is frequently called is the anniver-
sary on which the graves of the soldiers
in the U. S. are decorated with flags
and flowers.
The northern states observe May 80
and the southern states April 81. The
observance is of southern origin.
The tendency of the younger people
at this time is to celebrate the day by
field exercises, ball games or dances,
instead of observing the spirit of the
day as time of mourning for the brave
men who gave their lives that this coun-
try might be free.
The anniversary of relatives death
is kept as sacred How much more
should the one day of the year, set apart
in reverence to the thousands who died
as martyrs to their country, be OBJ
served?
The day on which the Titanic sank
will long be remembered. Compare the
number lost then with those who died
between 1861 and 1865 and add to those
the soldiers who have died since of dis
ease contracted in the army, also, those
of the Spanish-American war.
Is there not some way we can i'm
press upon the minds of the people the
need of quiet observance of the day?
Especially the sons and daughters of
veterans, as they will soon be mourning
the loss of father as the ranks are fast
thinning out.
Many who marched with the "old
boys" last Decoration day are not here
this May Both and flag will be placed
on their graves by those who are spared
little longer. X.

Whereas, application hath been made to this
court in writing, by the administrator of the es-
tate of said deceased, praying for license and
authority to sell all of the real estate of said de-

The cellar should be carefully kept
at all times, but never is its thorough
renovation more imperative than in
the spring. Fungous spores which
have lain dormant all winter are ready
for growth with the advent of warmer
weather. Unused vegetables stored in
the cellar must receive attention lest
decay render the air impure.
After all food has been removed
from the storeroom, all vegetable
stores should be examined and such
varieties as no longer appeal to the
appetite should be at once removed.
Potatoes will still continue as house
hold supply. They should be sorted and
the sprouts rubbed off.
In those parts of the cellar used
for food or milk give the shelves and
tables thorough scrubbing with hot
water in which washing soda, two
tablespooonfuls to 10 quarts, has been
dissolved. Pay as much attention to
the underside of the shelves as to the
upper. Wipe them with cloths wrung
from clean water. Movable shelf
boards, etc, should be carried out and
laid in the sun to dry. The air
should be allowed to circulate freely
through the cellar.
The next step is to give the walls a
good coat of whitewash, says Farm and
Home. This is prepared by shaking
two pound-cans of whitewash lime in a
pail. Put the lime into the pail, add
water enough to cover it, stir it with a
long stick and when it begins bubbling
add little more water. Let it boil
without further attention. When this
boiling has subsidized, add water enough
to make it creamy consistency.
Now go over the floor with a long
handled stiff brush, using warm water
to which one teaspoonful of carbolC
acid to every 10 quarts has been added.
Mop as dry as possible.

Why Savings Banks Are Essential

Because people having money to invest
are often tempted by designing persons
to 90 into schemes which, while promis-
ing large returns, usually bring disaster
Probably there are no more shrewd,
far-sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study of investments their life
work who pass upon all applications
for loans and investments; and it is
fact which anyone can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, that
four to five per cent interest is all these
companies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers who would 90 to I'M
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as we'll get six per cent as four, well
know that if their schemes were solid,
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these life in
surance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde Park never
takes note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, it turns 1T down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent.
What is the result?
In its more than twenty-three years of
existence, this bank has never lost a
dollar by poor note.
Safety rather than high rates of in.
terest," is its motto; and, knowing this,
depositors, not only from Vermont, but
from every State in the Union Except
three select the Hyde Park Bank as a
place of deposit for their savings
You can send your funds there by mail
with absolute safety, and it is perfectly
safe to send them either in registered
letter, postal money order, bank draft,
personal check or express money order
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank not dollar sent to it
by mail has ever been lost
This bank pays four per cent, COM
pounded semi-annualy, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about its as
sets, liabilities, management, etc, ad-
dress letter to Carroll s. Page, Presi-
dent, or F. NJ. Culver, Treasurer, Hyde
Park, Vermont, asking therefor, and
you will receive prompt reply.
