Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

Deafness IS caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing Of the Eustachian, Tube.% When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness IS the result, and unless the lnflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored, to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which is nothing but an 1n- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.

TEN TONS OF STEEL.
Fire and Burglar Safeguards at
Winooski Savings Bank.

The Winooski Savings bank has just
installed in its securities vault new steel
vestibule with two heavy steel doors,
weighing over 10 tons. Four pair of
horses were required to draw the doors
and vestibule from the station to the
bank building, over what is practically
level road. The vestibule has clear
walkway of 80 inches wide, by 76 inches
high. The walls of the vestibule are
two inches thick. The outside door,
weighing four and half tons, is six
inches thick exclusive of bolt frame,
and is made of five plates of uniform
size, each the full height and width of
the door. Twenty-Five, round revolving
special steel throw bolts, each two and
quarter inches in diameter, shooting
eight front, eight back, three up and
three down, are governed by two
Sargent and Greeneaf combination
bank locks, and also further controlled
by a Sargent and Greenleaf three
movement time locks with all the latest
improvements. This 5000 pound door is
hung on a steel crane hinge, one and
three-quarter inches thick and ten inches
wide, and is further provided with a
pressure system which operates in such
a manner as to force the door squarely
into place. Both door and architraves
are of highly polished steel The inside
door, weighing one and three-quarter
tons, is two inches thick exclusive of
bolt frame and has Is round throw DO Its
one and one-half inches in diameter
checked by two Sargent and Greenleaf
company bank locks. There are plate
glass doors over the bolt works on both
doors, so as to keep all working parts
perfectly free from dust and dirt. The
The entrance to the vault is guarded by
gate as an additional safeguard when
the doors are open. The walls of the
vault, which was built 16 years ago, are
20 inches thick, of solid brick laid in
cement, and lined with close fitting in
terlocking steel rails. 1t took the York
Safe & Lock company representatives
two and half weeks to cut out the
brick and steel rails in preparation for
the placing of the new doors, which
were built and installed by the York
Safe & Lock company of York, Pa. I,
and are of the most modern construc-
ton. The old vestibule and doors have
been placed in the base vault, thus
doubling the vault capacity of the bank.
This change was made necessary by the
steady growth of the bank since its
organization nearly "A years ago, jan
uary %, 1869. The assets of the bank
are 81, 875, 900 and it's surplus is over
$3.50, 900. The officers are: President,
Ormon Cole; presidents, Emory C.
Mower and Orman P. Ray; treasurer,
H. E. Gray. The board of trustees is
composed of the above officers and C.
H. Shipman, R. j. White, G. B. Catlin
and F. E. Bigwood.

IN M E M ORIAM.
ROBERT TAFT STURTEvANT.

So true it is, that the White Ribbon
ers have become one in heart and
thought, that the JOY or grief of one is
felt by all; and never has the sorrow of
one touched us all so deeply, as when
the head of our peerless and beloved
Mrs. Sturtevant-Peet bowed beneath
the weight of a bereavement, than
which nature knows none more griev-
Gus.
In the seventeen years that she went
in and out before US, we all knew,
loved, and trusted her, but naturally it
was given to smaller circle to know
the tender relations of her home life,
and have some share in its associations.
AS one so privileged, Involuntary
pay the tribute of affectionate memory
to the beloved son who has left her
side. He was the son of her heart,
imbued with the principles of her life,
in full sympathy with her motives, with
an inherent hospitality to all reforms,
due perhaps as much to the Puritan
strain of the Hollander in his father S
line, as the sturdy New England type
of his mother.
His benevolent, sunny nature radia-
ted happiness, and his fine intellectual
tastes afforded him the pleasure that
youth Graves.
Between him and his sister, Mrs.
E. B. Kimball, there existed peculiar
nearness of affection, beyond the usual
fraternal relation, and it was feature
of cruel sadness in this affection, that
it should have occurred while she was
in Europe with her husband.
The illness known as fatty degenera-
ton of the liver began shortly after her
going, but was not thought to be very
serious for some time. AS soon as
danger was apprehended they were
cabled, and took the first steamer for
home. He passed away before their
arrival, and the fond sister found await
! ing her only the sleeping form of her
brother. The tender ministries to his
care that she was eager to share had
been. borne by their mother, and among
the precious memories of those days
will always echo the last words he
uttered, Mother dear"
For her children she has always
retained their fathers name, and when
we write that hyphenated name that
now is only hers, it will suggest this
sweet and tender memory, with a
heart throb of loving sympathy.

disease, died early Sunday morning at
his home on Weybridge street at the

from his late residence and was largely

Dinner to Veterans.

Through the generosity of Mrs.
Redfeld Proctor, the late Senator
Proctor's widow, over eighty years old
Civil War veterans were served to a
most elaborate Thanksgiving dinner
at the Vermont Soldiers Home in Ben
nington on Thursday, November %.
Mrs. Proctor has made glad the hearts
of the old veterans several times in the
past, but the menu this year was more
elaborate than ever before. 1t includ-
ed roast turkey with dressing, giblet
sauce, cranberry sauce, sweet'potatoes,
Irish potatoes, mashed turnip, jelly,
celery, pickles, cabbage salad mince
pie, cheese, oranges, grapes, bananas,
tea, coffee, milk, bread and butter,
ice cream, nuts, cake and cigars and
was served in five courses.
- The menu cards bore picture of the
Stars and Stripes on the cover and
names of the officers of the institution.
About 1875 people sat down to the
dinner. A vote of thanks was ex-
tended Mrs. Proctor for her great
kindness to the Home and its inmates.

How the Red Cross Seal Origi-
mated

"How did the Red Cross Christmas
seal originated" is a question that is
being asked by many during this holi-
day season when millions of these
stickers are being sold all over the
United States. To Jacob Riis, the
well-known social worker of New
York, and to Miss Emily p. Bissell,
the energetic secretary of the Della
ware Red Cross, jointly belong the
honor of originating our American
Red Cross Christmas seal. In 1909
Mr. Riis' interest was aroused by the
receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on a letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer
looking stamp in the Outlook, and
suggested some possible uses for it in
this country. Miss Bissell at once saw
an opportunity here and prepared a
stamp, from the sale of which her
society realized $1,000 for tuberculosis
work. So impressed was she with this
success that she induced the American
Red Cross to take up the sale in 1908
on a national basis. With very little
organization and with hardly any at
tempt at careful advertising, the sale
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1912-12-06

that year brought in, nevertheless,
over $135,000 for anti-tuberculosis
work in various parts of the United
States. In 1909, with more thorough
organization, the sale was increased
to $3.50, 600, and in 1910 to nearly $40,
900. Last year the sale increased to
over $3.50, 900 or SO, 900, 600 seals.
While our own Red Cross seal dates
back only four years, charity stamps, p"
from which this idea originally sprung
go back to 1862, when sanitary fair
stamps" were first used in Boston to
secure money for the care of soldiers
wounded during the Civil War. Near
ly $1,000, 600 was raised in this way
during the years 1862 to 1865. After
the war this method of raising money
was discontinued in this country for a
generation. although it found vogue
in Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
France, Spain, Denmark, Norway,
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now hundreds of
different types of charity stamps used
in all parts of the world, as many as
forty being used in Austria for chill
dren's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti tuberculosis
CRUSADE in Norway and Sweden in 1904.
1t was from one of these stamps that
Jacob Riis and Miss Bissell received
their ideas for our Red Cross Christmas
seal.
