OUR USELESS BUFFAL0ES.
They Have Passed Away Because They
Were Economically Unfit.

AS n typical species OF American
.auna the buffalo had his place in our
history, but take him by and large he
was a rather useless beast, with no
adaptability for civilization. He served
ais purpose on the plains when men
led nomadic life there and existed on
his rife. But as soon as the range
land, over which the buffalo ''roamed
In countless thousands" became ct for
settlement the buffalo was decidedly
de trop.
Very little of him was fit to eat. He
was worth bullet when there was no
other meat to be had, but a people ac-
sustomed TO modern steaks and roasts
would find him not overappetizing
once the novelty wore Off In a word,
The buffalo was economically unfit and
he went the way of the unfit
Had he been conserved he might now
be affording opportunity for big game
hunters to enjoy themselves in moder-

pearance. To preserve the buffalo as

Pinklets, the New Laxative,
Gently Assist Nature

The first step in correcting constipation
is to stop the use of strong purgatiyes.
Substitute for them the mild, non-griping
but effective laxative pills, Pinklets.
Strong, harsh purgatives are OF little value
in the treatment of constipation because
they wear out the muscular activity of
the bowels and finally lessen their sensi-
bility to even the strongest stimulation.
The continued use OF purgatives always
brings on chronic constipation instead of
correcting it. With Pinklets you need
have no such fear. They assistthe bowels
and liver just enough to get them in pro-
per working order and so gently that
they are not irritated by the treatment.
Pinklets are for every member of the
family. Each bottle contains complete
directions for use. ANY druggist can
supply you with Pinklets at % cents per
bottle.

Sam Stavi, a Laborer on

Near Winooski
HE FELL rs FEET
INTO DEEP WATER
Man Swan About for Sew
eral Minutes and
Then Sank

Burlington, Nov. 2l.--After fall of
rs feet into the Winooski river late yes
terday afternoon, Sam Stavi, an Italian
laborer, 40 years old, employed by j. T..
eastman, contractor, swan about for
several minutes until aid was within 10
feet of him and then sank in 20 feet of
water.
He was riding on the basket hanging
from derrick arm used to carry con.
crete from the mixer to the piers of the
new high bridge over the river at Wi
nooski park. As the empty basket
swung over the stream to receive a load
Of concrete he lost his hold in some man
ner not explained and fell, narrowly
missing a truss as he shot downward.
Foreman John Bartelle and two men
hurriedly pushed out from shore on a
raft and had padded almost to Stavi
when he suddenly disappeared.
The dead man leaves a widow and
several children. At the point where
the drowning occurred the river runs

Uproar of Red Jackets Keeps Accidents
Down--New Record for the
State.

Boston, Nov. 2l.--The state fish and
game commissioners believe that a new
record for the number of deer killed in
Massachusetts, during the open season
win be established this week. Deer shot
last fall numbered 1880. Nearly 700
hunters have filed reports with the COM
missioner that they shot buck or doe
on Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Three hundred statements were received
Tuesday, and yesterday the morning
mail alone contained nearly 400 reports.
The first woman to report was Mrs. Dud-
ley Ward of Williamstown. who wrote
that she had shot IA fine doe"
Hunters counted by the hundreds
took to the woods yesterday. Many
went to Plymouth county, one of the
most successful hunting grounds. Every
precaution is being taken by the hunters
to avoid accidents. Sportsmen are clad
in red or some other bright color to
avoid being mistaken for deer. One
Williamsburg gunner was seen with red,
white and blue bunting draped about his
shoulders.

A GROWING CONCERN.
Bennington Business Has to Secure

Bennington, Nov. 2l.-Late Wednes-

pleted for the sale of the corner of Di-
vision and Scott streets to the Benning-
ton Hosiery company. The purchaser
will take immediate possession.
The Bennington Hosiery company is a
new industry that recently began opera
tons in the building of the Bennington
Wax Paper company. The company
started with a small outfit to which it
has been adding from time to time and it
has rapidly outgrown its original quar-
tiers. An attempt was made to purchase
the plant of the Lasher company on
Gage street, which was recently sold TO
the f Z Waist company, but the parties
could not reach an agreement and the
new company then turned its attention
to the Tiffany plant.
The Tiffany plant is well adapted to
meet the requirements of the new in
dustry. 1t is equipped with 40 horse
power engine and boiler, shafting, steam
heat and electric lights and automatic
sprinklers. There is floor space of about

Foods That Are Harmful to Children.

The Woman's Home Companion in its
December issue carries on its campaign
for Better Babies" by publishing an ar
ticle entitled How to Make Babies Bet
ter" BY DR.. Roger H. bennett, New
York expert on children's diseases. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the article on
the subject for children:
"The indiscriminate eating OF indiges-
tible food, such &C many adults eat, is
practice to be condemned. Fried food
of any kind, with the exception of steak
or chops, is harmful to the child, because
the fat with which it is fried and cooked
in to the food and surrounds the par
ticles of which it is made up, so that
the digestive juices cannot act upon
them. Most children are allowed too
many sweets. Remember that even
though they are given restricted
amount of candy, cake, and desserts,
they will get enough sugar in some form
in the course of week, to supply oil
their needs. This restriction of sweets
ought not to be hardship If the child
is fond of fruit. Instead of giving a
piece of cake or candy between meals, or
even for dessert, an apple, pear, or peach
will please him just as well, and will be
beneficial instead of harmful. For some
years mothers have held the erroneous
idea that raw fruits are difficult to
digest This is not true if the fruit is
neither green nor over-ripe. If the child
has not sufficient teeth with which to
chew it the fruit should be given in
mashed or seraped form so that no hard
particles will be swallowed.
"Indiscriminate eating is not the only
error in a child's diet The overcareful
mother occasionally goes to the other
extreme in endeavoring to plan health
full diet for her child. For instance, she
does not allow any thing but milk and
cereals throughout the second year, for
fear that solid food cannot be digested. |
This lack of solid food really does harm,
because when the second year of life is
reached the child is much more like the !
adult than during the first year, and |
food which approaches the adult diet |
should be begun. 1t is at this time that |
The mother most needs the diet list TO
guide her"

Basketball was the invention of one
man and was completed at a single
sitting. In 1891, in the course Of lee
ture at the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION In Plainfeld, Mass, the lee
turer spoke of the mental processes OF
invention and used a game, with its
limitations and necessities, as an illus.
tration. James Naismith, who was a
member Of the class, worked out bas-
ketball that same night as an ideal
game to meet the case. 1t was pre-
sented the next day in the lecture room
and put in practice with the aid of
the members of the gymnasium. From
there 1t spread to other branches of the
Young Mems Christian association and
subsequently to athletic clubs and the

WANT 1871 PER CENT.
RAISE IN FALL RIVER
Textile Council Presents Request to
Manufacturers-27,o 900 Operatives
Involved. ::

Fall River, Nov. 2l.--A demand for
a fiat wage increase of 1914 per cent, toj
become effective Dec. 8, was made in Al
letter written by the textile council and
River yesterday The demand for in-l
crease is predicated upon the unusually
good showing made by the cotton mills
during the last quarter.
The textile council represents fve|
unions, or about 700 men. Some 10000
non-union operatives have always foil
lowed the lead of the council. {
The next step in the threatened strike
situation will probably be a series of
conferences to be arranged for next week.
The action of the textile council inl
seeking an increase in wages for the
workers Of the city has aroused the mill
firemen to a realization of the situation
now existing and a demand is to be-
made for an increase in wages for all
stationary firemen employed in the mills
here
The following call was issued yester-
day
"A special general meeting or the sta
tionary firemen will be held Friday
night to discuss the wage situation. All
members are asked to be present. lm7

The textile council has rejected the APP
plication of the mill firemen to partici-
pate in its deliberations, and the mill
firemen will now seek an increase on
their own account. The iremen are

A QUEER LAKE.
With Neither Inlet Nor Outlet II Has
Mysterious 7 sle.

There is a curious Swiss lake, Lake
Marjelan, which at regular intervals
completely disappears and does not be-
gin to refill until the following winter
or spring. On these occasions 1t emp
ties itself so rapidly that the Rhone
rises several meters in a few hours
and overflows its banks.
But 1t is not necessary to go to
Switzerland in order to find freak
ish lake. There is pond in the center
Of Long Island, at the present end OF
the Motor parkway, called Lake Ron
konkoma. 1t has neither inlet nor out
let and lies at the foot of the hills that
form the backbone of Long Island.
Round Its shores are many pretty sum-
mer homes. The trees about IL are
much larger and more beautiful than
elsewhere on Long Island. The waters
of the lake are very clear and cold. In
some places 1t seems bottomless.
The strange thing about Lake Ron
konkoma is that 1t has a tide; not
tide like the ocean that rises and falls
every twelve hours, but one that takes
seven years to rise and seven more to
fall. The difference between high wa
ter and low water mark is between
thirty and forty feet Many scientific
men have studied the curious phe-
nomenon, but no one has found out
what causes this mysterious tide. Mel
Their long continued rains nor severe
droughts affect the quantity of water
In the lake.
The Indians used TO hold the lake in
great awe, and few dared to cross 1t
In a canoe There is a legend of one
brave who, while fishing was drown
ed in the lake. His body was found
six months afterward nearly ten miles
away In Long Island sound.-Youth's
Companion.
