More than 100000 Red Cross

the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-

It Is hoped that this year the Co.,
100000 mark will be reached. The
seal design for 1914 has been selected
and orders for the printing of 100000
900 seals have been placed. Plans for
the organization Of larger sale this
year than ever before have been per-
fected.
New York led the country last year
with sale of over 10,500,000 seals,
or one for each man. woman and
child In the state. OF this number
more than 6,s25,000 were sold outside

1--WE pledge ourselves to a policy
of economy in state expenses, and
to that end we recommend thor
ough investigation of the official
duties and emoluments of the vari-
Gus state commissions, and all state
executive and judicial officers, with
a view to their readjustment upon a
practical business basis. We are op-
posed to the establishment of new
salaried commissions unless abso-
lutely necessary to carry out essen
tian state policies.
The above is the plank in the
tentative republican state platform
adopted by the special committee at
its meeting last week on state ex-
penses. We believe it to be one of
the best planks in the whole plat
form. 1t suggests a constructive
method of dealing with the rapidly
increasing state expenses. Much of
the increase has been for new work
by the state government, work that
the people would not allow discon-
have been created for the handling
of new lines of work new commits
sions, new officers, new stenograph-
ers and new clerks have been added
to the pay roll of the state and ex-
penses lifted again and again.
This plank recognizes the patch
work we now have and would have
the whole system Investigated for
the purpose of eliminating wherever
possible and getting the number of
commissions and officers reduced to
a practical business basis. If con-
solicitations can be effected without
the service and at reduc-
ed cost they will be recommended.
If the state is supporting officers
that are costing too much for what
they do for the state the offices will
be abolished.
But the beauty of the plan is the
opportunity for each officer in the
different departments of the govern
ment to be heard and the withhold
ing of action until knowledge has
been gained. If any citizen believes
/ department costs too much he can
say so and the department allowed
20 make its defense before action
s recommended. To our mind there
S no fairer way to treat the Office
If attorney general than this. We
also believe that material improve
nents would follow such an investi- !
cation and study.

laws is natural enough as we in
herited 1t from our ancestors TO
whom the game and the forests
were a pest. They welcomed the
destruction of both. We have only
awakened to the value of our fish
and game when It is gone.
Today we recognize the value OF
our game from a commercial stand
point. Commissioner Titcomb has
not made his figures strong enough.
There is value i'm the fact that our
game asset is produced almost en-
tirely on waste ground or water that
cannot be otherwise utilized. Game
has a great value from a standpoint
of health and recreation, from a mil
itary standpoint as 1t gives the
sportsman a training in markham
ship that makes him the most eff
fective shot in the world.
Last but not least is the value Of
the insectivorous birds. 1t is esti-
mated that insects destroy $1,000
100000 worth of crops each year.
Some insectivorous birds eat several
times their own weight of worms
daily. Last winter Congress appro-
priated 100000 for the destruction
of insect pests, but the birds can
beat men in this line of work every
time. The north has always been
considerate of the insectivorous
birds but the south has not. Now
Uncle Sam has stepped In and both
sections will now protect the birds

NFANTILE PARALYSIS
Doctors Gathered Here to Discuss
Methods of Handling Dreaded
Disease.

At a meeting in Pythian hall last
Thursday about Is health officers
and physicians in Caledonia, Orleans,
Essex, and LamoilIe counties gath
cred to discuss the epidemic of in
fantile paralysis in Barton and adj
poining towns. The meeting was
called by the state board of health
to acquaint the public with the
symptoms of this dreaded disease
and to devise, if possible, some
means of stamping it out DIR. C. S.
Caverly of Rutland, president Of the
state board was in charge and deliv-
cred very able address dealing with
the malady in its various forms and
stages. DR.. Henry Holton of BrattIe-
boro, state secretary, also spoke.
The battling nature of this disease
makes it particularly difficult to COM
bat and according to the speakers
the exact cause of infantiIe paraly-
sis has never been determined, but
is thought to be bacterial in origin.
Although accepted as a contagious
disease the mode of transmission is
extremely difficult to locate.
Further, the symptoms so nearly re-
semble influenza, typhoid and other
diseases that the doctors are handi-

cases. They were urged by the state
officers to take particular care that
every case of a peculiar nature which
came under their charge and might
possibly develop infantile paralysis
be reported to the health officer at
once.
DR.. c. F. Dalton of the state lab
oratory of hygiene and DR.. H. F.
Laid of Burlington, state inspector
of contagious diseases, were also
present. Doctors from the different
towns where the disease has appear
ed told of their experiences and de-
scribed conditions. The epidemic in
this section has been confined to
Barton where there have been six
deaths out of SO cases; Coventry,
one death in three cases; Sutton,
one death; and two cases each in
Irasburg and Glover.
