Dog Recovered After Three Months

After being lost for three months, a
dog found its owner in Haverhill, Mass.
The dog, collie, had accompanied it's
mistress to Burke. and was on the re-
turn trip to Haverhill when in some way
he slipped his collar and escaped from
the car. The loss was discovered at
Wells River, and the woman returned to
Burke in hopes of finding her pet. She
remained there three days but was I'M
able to get any track of the dog.
Word was left with the railroad com
pany to find it, and an advertisement
was put in the paper. 1t seems the dog
got off in St. Johnsbury and has been
making itself at home at Frank French's.
Upon seeing the ad., and making inquir-
les the dog was put in a box and taken
to the depot. Much to Mrs. French's
surprise shortly after this she heard the
dog at her door. He had gnawed him
self out of the box and escaped. By this
time the animal was so suspicious that
it was almost impossible to get him into

ARMY CUTS OUT ALCOHOL.

The Austro-Hungarian army, accord
ing to the Vienna correspondent OF the
Journal of the American Medical asso-
citation MAY 81, 1919, is closely limit
ing the use of alcohol.
The present unsettled political con-
ditions in Europe have resulted In
keeping a large number Of soldiers In
readiness for more than half a year,
and the provisions for hygienic well
fare Of several hundred thousand men
are being put to a crucial test.
A fact worthy of notice is the nearly
complete absence of alcohol from the
daily bill of fare of the soldiers on
the frontier. The water supply In that
country being none too good, care has
been taken to instruct the soldiers In
this respect that they are being con-
stantly told that the old statement,
bad water is made innocuous by
alcohol" is a dangerous misrepresenta-
ton.
1t has also been ascertained that
whenever a period of endurance was
required of the soldiers those who
took no alcohol were much more mt
for work than the other men. In
mountain climbing the consumption OF
alcoholic beverages was distinctly de-
tr1mental to the accuracy of stepping.
The effect of sweetened liquid (sweet
tea, coffee or milk was very crafty
ing. The sweet, mild black Italian or
Turkish wine with a very low per
centage Of alcohol was ranked with
these other beverages, but even this
wine was disallowed when long exer-
cises were taken.
The experiences obtained by the
army authorities will no doubt lead to
a complete elimination of alcohol as
war rations" except for medical use,
although here also experience speaks
at least not in favor of an addition
OF alcohol for pneumonia, typhoid and
general debility.
1t is also noted that total abstainers
form a negligible fraction among those
soldiers who have to be punished for
disorderly conduct, breach of dis
cipline or other minor offenses OF
military nature, although total Austen
ton is frequent now in the rank and
file of the army, for, in the anti
alcohol movement in Europe, says the
correspondent, "our army is one of the
leaders"

WHY Silver furnishes.

Did you ever notice that the silver
you stow carefully away in neat white
canton flannel bags, presumably, to
keep it from furnishing, is blacker and
more stained with tarnish when you go
to get it out of the bag than the silver
that has been in use all the time? And
did you ever notice, if the silver is kept
in a long case that is wound about it.
self, that the silver best protected,
nearest the middle, is most badly tarn-
ished?
A jeweler says that the reason for
this is that white canton flannel Is
bleached with a mixture containing
sulphur, which spots and furnishes sill
yer very quickly. So, when your extra
dozen silver forks are carefully packed
away in their white canton flannel
case, of course those in the middle.
farthest from the air, become the most
badly furnished.
1t is for this reason that silversmiths
always use blue canton flannel bags
and cases for their silver, not, as many
persons think, because blue is more
beautiful than white. No sulphur is
used in the preparation Of blue canton
flannel, and so none fingers in its folds
after it is made up into bags and cases
for silver.

Caring For His Health.

Not many people guard their health
so carefully as Sir Tatton Sykes. who
in winter wore five or six coats when
out riding and shed some of them as
he became warmer. Prince Poutiakine.
however. took even stronger precau-
tons against illness. If there was a
touch of cold in the air he had fires lit
in his grounds before venturing to
stroll in them. His waistcoats were
made in two separate pieces, Joined at
the sides by buttons. so that he could
take them off or put on additional ones
without removing his coat. If caught
in shower he sheltered himself with
an umbrella nearly two feet wide,
which came down below his waist and
was pierced with little windows. In
very hot weather the prince wore boots
coated with tin as a protection against
mad dogs. and carried sponges soaked
with vinegar in his shirt front to ward
off unpleasant smells. - Manchester

THE WINTER WEATHER
Everybody Talking About It-Mild
Winter Predicted

The weather, that's what every

wish we might have such weather

remarks about the winters when we
had no winter or others when we did
not get anything but winter from
the bulk of weather greetings and
conversations.
Bright sunny days with balmy
atmosphere seem more like April
than Christmas and the whizzing of
Automobiles along the smooth fro
zen roads is more indicative of sum-
mer touring than of the isolation of
a Vermont Winter. Glow long will
this continue?" is frequently asked.
We really do not know, but our "oId
sign" indicates that we may may eX-
pect a mild winter with little snow,
with some of the coolest weather the
latter part of March. you have it
just as cheap as T. and you may do
what you have a mind to about it, but
it looks as though the blacksmith
might be one of the busiest of Yer
mont artisans for the coming three
months.

fore it began SHOWING yesterday after

take the weather as it comes for a

Moon RIunders

The moon, it seems. is responsible
for more authors 'howlers'' even than
nightingales. Baroness Orczy in pet
ticoat Government" draws a beautiful
picture of a crescent moon rising over
the treetops in the far eastern sky at
IL o'clock on a June evening. The pic
ture is so nice that it is a pity to de-
stroy it. but the invention is prepos-
ferrous. Lucas Malet errs in a similar
fashion in one of her novels. Miss
Stevens in THE Veil'' speaks of the
new moon being seen at sunset pray
er. "a thin slip in the east" A little
study would show that when the moon
rises at sunset it must necessarily be
a full moon or nearly so. In the same
book the full moon rises and sets again
within a period of two hours. whereas
the full moon is. of necessity. an all
night moon.-Book News Monthly.

Good word For judge Slack

county bar relative to the work of Judge
Leighton p. Slack of St. Johnsbury who
has been presiding here at his first regu-
lar term of court since he was elevated
to the Superior bench. The lawyers of
this county all speak in the highest terms
of Judge Slack and the older and more
experienced attorneys whose knowledge
and judgment are ripened by long years
of practice all declare that Judge Slack
has made good here and they predict for
him a successful career on the bench He
is human, approachable and genial with
out detracting from the dignity and

of law and the fairness and clearness of
his rulings indicate that Governor

GOOD, BETTER, BEST.

Total abstinence for town or coun-
ty is good from a business stand
point, but there is something better
and that is total abstinence for the
state. 1t must certainly be conceded
that state whose taxable property
has increased in ten years $1,2OO,OOO.-
900, or at the rate of $120,000,000 a
year is amazingly prosperous. Kan
sas is the commonwealth of which
this fact is stated, and Ex-Governor
Stubs is the man who vouches for
the figures. He further af1rms that
Kansas contains more taxable prop
erty to the citizen than New York or
Massachusetts; that its farmers own
eighty-five per cent. Of the bank de-
posits, and that these have increased
at the rate Of $1O,OOO,OOO a year for
ten years; that it has many we'll
populated agricultural counties in
which the jails and the poorhouses
have had no occupants for years.
All the other total abstinence states
can testify that prohibition brings
financial prosperity as well as home
happiness and individual well being.

he needed money and offered certain
collateral if Mr.. Moore would sign

signed the note and took the collat-
eral, but the first he knew Pinks had
