FOR WELL FURNISHED BATH

There is something so deliciouS,N lux

that they are very likely To be broken in
the strenuous actions following bath.
The PAPER ma6he cases answer the pur-

COUNTRY VERSUS CITY.

In the North Atlantic states in 1910,
48 per cent of the people lived in
small towns and country districts
comprising 90 per cent of the land
and so per cent lived in cities of
100000 and over, comprising the re-
naming area of 1 per cent. The lure
of the great city, a theme saturated
with tragedy, has been written of
many times; Frederick L. Hoffman,
actuary of the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Co., in a recent pamphlet, points
out that longevity and diminished
liability to disease are decidedly fe-
vOred in the country. The typhoid
fever mortality-rate is higher in the
country than in the city, but the diff
ference is much less than has often
been assumed. Although the NOR
tally from malaria has been higher,
and in many places no doubt still is
50, mosauita elimination has greatly
reduced the number of cases of mala-
ria in rural ristricts. While infuen-
"a, dysentery, apOplexy, paralysis,
heart-disease and peritonitis also seem
more common in the country, some of
these are diseases of old age, and the
| difference i'll undoubtedly due in great
measure by reason of a larger pro
portion of old persons in the country
the young having migrated &c the
city. On the other hand, the causes
of death more common in the city are
cancer, alcoholism, meningitis, enter
tits, bronchitis, the pneumonias, tn
berculosis, cirrhosis of the liver, APP
pendicitis, brights. disease and dealt
from violence. 1t is hardly to be hoped
says The Journal of the American
Medical association, that emphasis o.
the great healthfulness of the coun
try will influence anyone who is de
termined to enter city life. No appea
of this or any other kind has hithert
proved effective i'll the history of civ
ilization. But it is encouraging t
the dweller in the country to kno,
that his chances for long and health
life are better than those of hi
brother in the city.

If President Wilson persists in his
determination to secure the passage of
currency reform bill after the tariff
is got out of the way, Congress may
well prepare to pass the summer in
Washington. Extra sessions are apt to
make slow work of one big question
and slower work of two. Twenty years
ago, President Cleveland convened
Congress in extra session to repeal the
purchase clause of the Sherman silver
act. 1t came together on Aug. and
it did not adjourn until Nov 3. The
Senate made the delay and already the
indications that the Senate has not
forgotten its genius for proerastination
abounds. 1t is apparently making up
its mind to hasten slowly on the tariff
and after that will come currency re
form ON which senators will all want
to express their views. The Senate
never likes to work overtime, and when
compelled to do so, strikes very
moderate gait.

GREATER VERMONT NOTES.
Industrial Growth and Civic Improve
ments in Green Mountain State.

The Woodbury. Granite company of
Hardwick has installed in its plant
the largest granite turning lathe in the
world. This lathe will turn a single
column of granite eight feet in di-
ameter, and in lengths up to So feet.
AS such a column would weigh in the
neighborhood of 2S8 tons, it is evident
that this machine is a mammoth.
The village of Windsor has recently
voted $4,000 towards fixing up its
streets. During the winter seven new
houses have been built in the village;
at the present time five more are in
the process of construction, and it is
expected that ten or Is more Will be
built during the summer.
Springfield is making good its claim
to be one of the most rapidly growing
towns in the state. The Fellows Gear
/ Shaper company has built a large
addition to their plant. Gilman < Son
are just finishing a new plant, giving
/ them so per cent more space. Jones
and Lamson Machine company are now
building an addition to their plant,
f400 by 1870. The Colonial Power and
Light company are running more pow
er into Springfield, giving cheap pow
er for manufacturing. An active cam
paign is being carried on to secure

The Republican national committee
is to meet this month at Washington

a national convention at an early date
to change the basis of representation,

whether or not to continue to allow
the southern states to be represented
in the convention on basis of popu-
lation while they have too little vote
to elect any congressman or other fed

MANY Vermont newspapers have

publican ticket But not a single
Progressive has been mentioned.
Truly, this is very considerate. 1t IS
not likely the Progressives are
grooming any particular man as their
nominee - that will be left entirely
to the delegates to the state conYen-
tion-Essex Syndicate.
The Essex junction contemporary
has watched the development of the
new party and the record of the old
ones long enough to know that the
label on the package does not always
give an accurate idea as to Its con
tents. Not all the progressives arc
enrolled in the Progressive party and
the voting record on several important
bills at Montpelier during the session
is sufficient evidence that occasionally
man wearing the name of the new
party was a reactionaTy at heart
Progressive is what progressive does
not what it shouts aloud on the street
corners for two or three weeks wher
