"Heenan" Bowers of Montpelier,
confirmed dipsomaniac, was recently
sent to the state asylum at Water
bury for treatment in accordance with
the provisions of a law enacted at a
recent session of the legislature. The
man has a record of AZ convictions
for intoxication and is supposed to
be the title holder" In Vermont. II
the system of disposing Of offences of
intoxication that has been in use In
this state for years was created with
the purpose OF correcting the evil, 1t
is perhaps pertinent to ask what has
1t accomplished In the case of Bow
ers? The treatment has been used in
his case nearly half hundred times
and there has been no improvement
in the condition of the patient.
There was proposal before the last
legislature to establish a detention
farm for confirmed victims of alcohol.
While not enacted into law it was
given serious consideration and there
is good reason to believe that the
idea will eventually be carried out In
this state.

Some day the public conscience in
this country is going to awake to the
necessity Of regulating the sale and
use of revolvers. The shocking acci'
dent this week at Rutland, where a
thirteen-year-old lad sent bullet in
to the head of his grandmother, is one
more argument to prove that some-re-
strictive measures governing the dis
tribution of small firearms is needed.
To the average man revolver is not
of much use, anyhow. The weapon
is manufactured and sold for the pur-
pose of killing human beings and the
magazines are full of advertisements
wildly depicting it's value as a pro-
tector of the home and lonely women,
but out of hundred deaths caused by
pistol bullets in not over one instance
is the right man sent to his
grave. New York city is said to av-
erage one killing a day, but how oft
en- is the dead man burglar caught
In the act of entering a dwelling?

John Paul Jones, the Cornell stu
dent who broke the worlds amateur
record for the mile at the intercolle-
giate track meet, says that he has
run his last race and that with the
completion of his college course he
has quit athletics for good. Many
who are interested in the sport will
experience regret that the great run
ner was not able to equal the best
figures for the mile by either amateur
or professional, but all sensible per-
sons will commend the young mans
determination to eliminate running
from his daily life in the future and
to devote all his energies to the more
serious affairs OF life.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice With Splendid
Result.

If any one should know the worth
of medicine, it is the retail drug
gist, who sells it over his counter
every day in the week, and is in a
position to know what remedy gives
the best satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For number of
years l was a great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July l had an at
tack which was more severe than
any and my friends thought l could
not recover from it. Then | was ad-
vised by my druggist to try Vinol,
which l did with wonderful results.
My cough has left me; l have gained
in weight and appetite and | am as
strnog as ever was. advise all who
have bronchitis, chronic coughs, or
who are rundown to try Vinol"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver without oil, aided by the
blood ?making and strengthening
properties of tonic iron that makes
Vinol so efficient in such cases,

do just what we say-we pay back

it. If their husbands can't support
them they support themselves and
sometimes the husband, but if they
preserve silence of this point they do
it with a mental reservation. Slowly
but surely contempt is growing up in
Their hearts for the man whom the
world has beaten and who consents to
remain beaten. 1t has not beaten them
and they think he should have been
strong enough to weather the storm
and win the battle. 1t is only another
form of woman's admiration for a
strong man, universal sentiment
with our sex.
Husbands should not tease their
wives. Yes. | know the adage. |
think it's from the Scotch, that whom
we love we tease. But it's like famil-
larity. There's a certain amount Of
contempt mingled with it. Teasing is
making the person you tease the butt
of your jokes, and no one likes that
office. Do you know any husband who
like to be the object of ridicule? |
don't. They resent it very quickly in
Enthusiastically masculine fashion They
ought to be as considerata of their
wives as they expect their wives to be
of them,
Let the family sense of humor be
exercised on others who are out of the
family and who don't mind it, or who
can defend themselves in kind. Or,
better STILL let the humor be imperson-
al. Be funny at the expense of things
and conditions, not of persons. It's
pleasanter and safer.

PAUL ]. RAINEY'S
AFRICAN HUNT
Full Of Exciting and Ed
uCdtiORaI Incidents

The day has come when we may
sit comfortably in a theatre and watch
the wild animals of the African jun
gle disporting themselves in their ma
tive wilds in a state of innocence as
complete as was theirs in the Garden
of Eden. To such of us as have never
been able to believe in the giraffe as a
handy beast about the jungle, or in the
elephant as a creature reconciled to
his own trunk and his own bulk, the
Paul j. Rainey pictures of the jungle
are revelation. 1t seems that n
man and a moving picture machine
screened themselves in a tree-top, on
and off for six weeks, there or there
abouts, and took the beasts all I'M
suspecting, as they came down to the
water-holes to drink.
Mr. and Mrs, Rhino and their fam
lily may be seen trotting along gaily,
utterly undepressed by the horns on
their noses or their other facial biem-
ishes. They even indulge in a family
row, and swat each other with an
abandon with which we should never
have credited the menagerie speci-
mems Then along come two giraffes,
doubling up like Kaleidoscope, and
touching their toes with their noses
with apparently not the least personal
inconvenience. That high-collared air
of hauteur so common to the circus
giraffe, is utterly absent. The ele-
plants are swinging along down to
drink, mother, father, elder brother
and baby, all with their trunks wav-
ing about like lively lengths of rubber
hose, stopping to scratch themselves
vigorously against the rocks and be-
having generally as though they en-
joyed being alive, and didn't mind at
all how much they weighed Obvious
