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 inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inf1amed 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 nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Oatarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Says 1t Is Hard Work so Be Stepmother

In the November Woman's Home
Companion, Anne Bryan Mccall con-
tributes a page entitled, people I

reproduces the following letter from a
young stepmother who says that the
first wife's people have tried and sue
ceeded in turning the children against
her:

The Monitor has never run a depart

favorable comment and has been
received SO warmly as its Farm
News and Notes" department which
is run from time to time as space
permits. It is QUIZ intention to keep

features as much as possible. 1t will
do some of our editorial brethren good
to read about a really large barn as
pictured in that department this week.
They will learn that Orleans county
is on the map agriculturally and who
ever follows this department during
the coming year will be more and
more convinced of Orleans county s
agricultural supremacy in many ways.

They are, with rare exceptions, a
healthy. intelligent and happy class of
young men. Too many boys leave the
farm where they would have made
substantial and good citizens, and go
to the city where only one in a thou
sand succeeds in life's battle There
are farmers who fairly drive their
boys away. There is no excuse for
this. The farmer boy is entitled to
his vacations, relaxations. his visits to
the city and good books and maya
zines. To the observing one it is plain
that the old farm is the best place in
the world for the average young man
and it seldom fails to bring a happier
and more useful life than the city.

L
Fern picking has become an industry
in the four southern towns of Benning-
ton county, Woodford. Stamford.
Searsburg and Readsboro.
Just why the peculiar industry of
fern picking should be confined to the
small section of country on the slope
of the Taconic mountains in southern
Vermont has never been satisfactorily
explained. Ferns grow everywhere
throughout parts of New England and
northern New York, but the fact
remains that in no other locality is
business of the picking of the little
sprays of green so thoroughly estab-
lished as in the little belt of mountains
less than hundred square miles in
area.
The industry is comparatively new
and came into existence by the dis
covery of florists in the cities that the
addition of a few ferns as background
for box of blossoms added materially
winter, when little green is available.
Since it became known that ferns
could be kept all winter in cold storage
the business of gathering and retailing
has increased rapidly. SO that there are
at present many firms in New York
and Massachusetts which give it their
entire attention several months of the
year.
The business now annually brings
into the mountain towns consider able
money in wages. The pickers are paiC
by the piece at the rate of four cents
a hundred, and some of the industrious
and nimble ones earn from SIS to 81 {

business is carried on from the present
time until early in November, all oil
$4,000 ferns will be shipped from
Bennington and fully as many from
the other side of the mountains. 1t i.
an easy matter to figure out that thi!
will mean $40, ZOO to the pickers alone

The St. Adams Messenger says the
Monitor sees no difference between
the corner grocery store and the tele-
phone business. That is not correct.
We do see the difference, but we
contend "that in MANY communities
the PEOPLE would be better served if
its dozen stores were united under one
roof, paying one rent, carrying large
assortments and immense stocks, buy
ing in carload lots and demanding cash
transactions, 'if' such a buiness could
be thoroughly controlled. Those are
our very words. Do you deny it?

1t seems strange to the Monitor that
such a Taper as the Burlington Clipper,
leader in the Progressive party in
Vermont, should slam Vermont papers
which preach progressiveness in the
Republican party, if it's the principle
of progress alone that actuates that
paper and it's party. Isn't it progress
siveness you are after, from whatever
source?

is law that will permit local author
tiles to enforce proper local regula-
lions and restrictions, giving permits
for certain things that ought to be
allowed and restraining those who in
the greed of gain have no respect for

mistake for the Christian people of
Vermont to insist on keeping on the
statute books law that does not now
represent public sentiment and which
cannot be enforced. = Bennington

The second trial of the Tomasi case
for violating the Sunday law resulted
the same as the first, disagreement

previously stated. it is not because the
accused did not violate the law. but
because the law itself is absurd and
uncomfortable in these days. There is
no question but that Mr.. Tomasi
violated the letter of The law and that
he is guilty under the intent of the

Concerning "pamaaed Goods"

When the remarkable special guest
performance of Damaged Goods" in
Washington was proposed last spring
and it was found impossible to have
the play given on any day except
Sunday the Washington Post inter-
viewed a number of the leading slergy-
men of the city to ascertain whether
they would oppose such perform
anCe. While regretting the necessity
for giving the play on the Sabbath,
the foremost ministers of the city
took the position that the lesson Of
the play was Of such vital Importance
that the community could not afford
to lose the opportunity of hearing it.,
even though it had to be given on
Sunday. The concensus of opinion
was voiced by the Rev. DR.. L. G.. B.
Pierce. pastor of All Souls Church, of
which William II. Taft was a mem
Der during the four years of his pres
idency. DR.. Pierce said: Il feel that
the dramatic presentation OF this ter
rifle message, so much more powerful
han any Their kind of presentation
could possibly be, will be of such in
estimable value and so great an oppor-
tunity for the city that il becomes a

The Presidents Mobile Speech

Great historical land marks are often set up,
like Solomons Temple, without sound of hammer
or saw. We believe President Wilson's speech at
Mobile, Alabama, delivered October 9th, will
ultimately join that extraordinary family Of
American speeches of which Lincons Gettys-
burg address is the best known example, and
further we believe it will mark new era in our
diplomatic relationship with Central and South
American countries. Secretary Garrison was so
impressed by the utterance he declared it would
hold place in future history as "the Mobile dec
laration" and be pointed to the completing
work of the Monroe doctrine
In fact the deliverance did carry the famous
doctrine through to its logical conclusion. We
have forbidden other nations to seize territory
in Central or South America, said the President
in substance, and now it is time to apply the
same doctrine to ourselves and announce to the
world that the United States will bind herself to
the principle as closely any European state
1.-THE United States he said, will not again
seek to secure one additional foot of territory bv
conquest
One of the most striking parts of the address
was his analysis of Big Businesses part in Latin
American countries. He did not hesitate to

and upheavals to the Vaccinations and devices
