Says the Tobacco User Is "In the
Wrong"

In an article entitled Fighting the
Deadly Habits in the October Ameri-
can Magazine, Charles b. Towns, great
expert in handling those who are vic
Tins of alcohol or drugs, has the follow
ing to say about tobacco:
"You can't talk to me about tobacco.
The tobacco user is in wrong. 1t under
mines his nervous strength. 1t blunts
the edge of his mind. 1t gives him of
days when he doesn't feel up to his
work. 1t always preeedes alcoholism and
drug addiction. I've never had drug
case or an alcoholic case Excepting a
few womenl that didn't have a history
of excessive smoking, lnhaling tobacco
is just as injurious as moderate opium
and the same treatment is
used to destroy the craving. There's a
plain fact that has a jolt in it for some
of YOU smokers. I'd like to train about
a million men in this country to just
say, It's tobacco like that-It's to-
bacco! whenever they hear a man say
he isn't feeling quite fit. 4 million
people saying It's tobacco every day
that would get us somewhere

Judge Ben Lindsey of the Jul
venile Court in Denver gave a
very interesting lecture at The Col
onial Monday evening as one of the
numbers of the lecture course. He
urged the substitution of sympathy,
love and confidence instead of ViO-
lence on the part of the state in the
treatment of the criminal and cited
many cases from his. personal expert
ence to show how much more effective
it is than the old method of handling
the criminal. He spoke over two
hours and left much in the minds of
his audience for serious considera-
ton.

ulation a valuable asset, TO be sure,
in many ways, but not to be COM
pared with the results obtained
from the steady. reliable, dependa-
BILE residence of the townsmen them
selves. The state which recognizes
its obligations and realizes its OPP
portunity surrounds it's most valua-

and comfort that can be secured
within reason. What is Vermont
doing for her teachers?
The proposition just put forth,
namely, the raising of money as a
working basis for the retirement
fund, by issuing strips of penny slips
to be filled by those interested in
educational progress is sound
throughout and doubtless every citi-
zen will have his or her opportunity
in good time to prove a substantial

the honest opinion he or she pos
ssses concerning the Importance of
the work of the instructor of the
young.

Academy Notes.

! Tuesday morning, Judge Lindsey
of Denver, Col, and Rev. Paul d.
Moody of our town were in chapel.
Mr.. Lindsey spoke for some length
of time and he was so extremely in
teresting that everyone was sorry
to have him stop. He told several
interesting .stories almost all of
which were directly connected with
his wide experiences. He described
some of the methods he used in get
ting young boys and men to tell of
their crimes and explained that now
the law was beginning to use love
and sympathy with almost all the
young boys cases especially in his
part of the country. Judge Lindsey
does not believe in getting one per-
son to tell on another and does not
believe it is always necessary to put
a person in jail to punish him. We
are indebted to Mr.. Moody for Judge
Lindsey's visit to school and we well
appreciate the kindness of both men.
On Tuesday the periods were di-
vided in an unusual way, there being
| but six periods emitting the seventh
period of the day.
The cage ball practice was given out
Tuesday as follows: Gilfillan, Toll
man, Gray, Hartshorn and Noyes
were to report Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays at 4 p. M,
sharp at the Y M. G. A. and at p.
m. on Saturdays: Paige, Chesley, Eli
OF, Genge and Pratt report at 2 p. m.
on Saturdays to Borland; Morrison,
Fiske, Leonard, Hill and Conner
were to report at $50 on Saturday
to Babcock.
Contrary to last weeks report
that the senior class would go to
Washington March 25th, the class
will go on April 5th for eight days.
Mr.. Smith of the faculty will go as
chaperon. 1t seems impossible to
have any benefit but another idea is
on foot by which some money for the
students can be raised.

FRECKIIES
Now is the Time to Get Rid Of
These Ugly Spots.

The woman of tender skin breads
March because it is sure to COW
er her face with ugly freckles. No
mater how thick her veil, the sun
and winds will surely make her
freckle.
Fortunately for her peace OF
mind, the recent discovery of the
new drug, othine-double strength,
makes it possible for even those
most susceptible to freckles to keep
the skin clear and white. No matter
how stubborn a case of freckles you
have, the double strength othine
will remove them. Get an ounce
package from w. B. Eastman and
Danish the freckles. Money back IL

TEACHERS TO MEET
Will Begin Campaign to Rails
Money for Retirement Fund.


Money for Retirement Fund.
This movement of the Vermont
I teachers Retirement Fund Associa-
tion is rousing enthusiasm through
out the state and we feel sure that
ST. Johnsbury will be ready to take
her share in the work that has al
ready begun in Brattleboro, Bellows
Falls, Proctor and Montpelier. Ow-
ing to, the quarantine restrictions no
meeting here has yet been called,
but this Wednesday afternoon at
AIS at the ninth grade Summer
street, there will be a meeting at
which all teachers, ex-teachers, and
any others interested are invited to
be present. The purpose of the plan
of the movement will be explained
and discussed, and a. method of
raising our part of the fund will be
suggested. The following is taken
from the Montpelier Journal.
In Behalf of Teachers.
Eve believe in boys and girls as
the greatest asset of the town." Any
organization founded on principle
such as is involved in the above
statement deserves the encourage
ment and substantial support of the
citizens of those towns which hold
similar belief. The Vermont Tea
chers' Retirement Fund Association
endeavoring to raise a retirement
fund makes the statement referred
to and is an organization the work
of whose members is too well known
to need description here. But to do
good work and be admired for that
work is not to be recognized ade-
quately at all times and it is a sub
stantial and hearty recognition of
service which the teachers of Yer
mont need to better the quality of
teaching performed and the quantity
of teachers content to remain in YER
mont. A constantly shifting teach
ing staff cannot be of much more
value to a town than it's floating pop
