Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common sense Advice by a Distin guished
Specialist.

Common Sense Advice by Distin gnished
Specialist.
Acid stOmachs are dangerous because
acid irritates and infiames the delicate
lining of the stomach, thus hindering and
preventing the proper action Of the
stomach. and leading TO probably nine
tenths of the case Of stomach trouble
from which people suffer. Ordinary
medicines and medicinal trea tments are
useless in such cases, for they leave the
source Of the trouble, the acid In the
stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid
must be neutralized, and its formation
prevented, and The best thing for this
purpose is teaspoonful Of bisurated
magnesia. a simple antacid, taken in q
little warm or cold water after eating
which not only neutralizes the acid, but
also prevents the fermentation from
which acidity is developed. Foods which
, ordinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity If the meal Is followed
with a little blsurated magnesia, which
4 should always be kept handy.-Adver

MISSING OUR WINTER OPPoR-
TI1NITIES.

JQNl1
If made to order, weather conditions
could not have been more favorable than
last week for the Dartmouth college
students who were entertaining their
friends with demonstrations of winter
sports. A snowfall of Is inches and
temperatures below zero most of the
time were the conditions. And, by the
way, the development of winter sports
at colleges in the northern sections of
the country is something that has been
neglected by them until recent years.
Not all colleges are so fortunate as to
have snow and ice for these most ex-
hilarating sports, and the northern coll
leges have not taken full advantage of
their opportunities, but have spent their
time indoors bemoaning because their
baseball teams could not get out
on the diamond or because the water
was locked by ice against the develop
ment of their crews. However, Dart
mouth students seem to have risen SUI
perior to their climatic conditions, or,
perhaps better stated, they have resolved
to make use of what nature has fur
nished them and they are indulging in
winter sports to an extent not attempt
ed by students of other colleges in the
northern INDUCING in them often
and then hold a demonstration during
some week in mid-winter. The benefits
to be derived from participation in these
outdoor exercises and sports are very
great, as they force fresh air into the
lungs, send the blood circulating more
rapidly and develop the muscles and
harden the body against extremes, while,
incidentally, the added health ought to
give new zest to the pursuit of knowl
edge as it places the student in better
shape to study. This practice of Dart
mouth students is to be commended to
all colleges in states where similar con-
ditions prevail during several months of
the year. The Vermont colleges have
conditions almost identical and they are
losing something by not entering into
winter sports as interestedly as their

CURRENT COMMENT
Protest Against Laying OFF.

A word. even to the wise, is some
times in order. Excepting in spots we
have up to date had a good winter sea-
SON as far as weather conditions go and,
therefore, suitable for cutting granite.
In about two months, applications for
overtime, by employers, will again be
plentiful. Only in few places has
quarrying been delayed this winter
owing to bad weather, but quarry own.
ers nevertheless have let men 60 and
have been running their quarries short
OF the normal amount of help. Granite
cutting employers have reduced their
crews TO the minimum, even where it is
known that they have work on hand.
This is undertaken by employers as So
called economy in season when they
claim they would not be receiving quick
returns or sales, but some of them evil
IDENTIFY seem to enjoy the sight of num-
Der Of idle men in their vicinity. Lay
ing men off as above referred to. then
calling for overtime. is not sound eco
Monies and as the laying-of is forced on
us and is positively against our welfare,
overtime should in the same proportion
be discouraged, for favoring or. granting
overtime in the spring to make up for
lost time in winter. can have only one
effect, namely of encouraging perpetual
ton of the uncongenial method of un-
warranted laying off in the winter sea-
son--From Granite Cutters Journal.

THE TANGO DEFENDED.
Dance Itself Not Objectionable, but Its
Abuses.
Editor of The Times,

Editor of The Times,
Dear Sir:--So much has been said and
written in derogation of "the new
dances" that | am constrained TO say
word or two in defense of certain dane
ing innovations that have invited no lit
tie harsh criticism. In time, believe,
dances of the tango" type will amply
Justify themselves as distinctive contri-
buttons to terpischorean art. Discern
ing dancers and clear reasoning people
who do not dance even now are look
ing with favor on such novelties, and a
day is coming when the present hysteria
over the one-step and kindred dances
will have disappeared entirely.
Allow me TO quote from an editorial
in one of the largest metropolitan dailies
in America: "The innovation of new
dance movements has raised storm.
Under the collective designation of
tango number Of variations have
been introduced, each more extravagant
in its attitudes and more suggestive in
its incidents than the other. And the
tango has TO bear the blame.
CAS- fact, the tango was a natural
and entirely proper development of the
waltz, as this came from the cotillion
of our forefathers. Il is no more objec-
tionable when danced with the proper
artistic inspiration. When the tango
dancers have this spirit, their perform
ance show grace which attracts, with
out scintilla of improperly.
1T is in the abuse of the movements
essential to this dance, the introduction
of license where only poetry of motion
is prescribed, that the fault appears. 1t
is not the tango itself, but its abuses,
that should be prescribed"

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
STONE CUTTERS WERE THERE, TOO
And They Assisted in Putting Out the
Northfield Fire.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: Being a
regular reader of your paper, / find in
the last two issues reference to the
Brusa Granite company's fire here in
Northfield. Also it was referred to in
our local News, which was all regular
and natural. But the question has aris-
en-; Who put the fire out
First We were informed that the ca
diets, with the help of the iremen, did
the work. Next we hear is that the
firemen did the real act and the cadets
helped get the fire apparatus under COW
er after the fire.
AS stated in your last issue, signed
by an old fire. fighter, ii may be mis-
leading to those outside and question
who should get the honor of such good
work.
Well, my opinion is that great many
outside of Northfeld, by reading both
The Times and also the Mortified News,
would wonder where all the two or three
hundred granite cutters were all this
time. The fact is, they were right there
at the first blast of the gong, ready,
willing and actually did assist in put
ting out the above mentioned fire. They
do not ask for any honor and only look
at it as a duty which they are ready
and willing to perform at any time of
emergency. As for receiving honor, they
know not what it means.

GREAT BRITAIN DRAWN IN.

If British subject has been killed in
Mexico, Great Britain is, therefore,
drawn into close association with the
tangled affairs now Transporting in the
republic to the southwest of the United
States; and, in consequence, there at-
pears to be no good reason why the
United States should endeavor to exclude
other nations in the negotiations leading
up to settlement of the difficulties.
Indeed, the execution of William S. Ben
ton, British subject, seems to make a
splendid opening for cooperation by an
other powerful nation in the forcing of
peace on the belligerent Mexicans. The
policy of "watchful waiting" has not had
any appreciable effect, nor has the some
what changed policy of lifting the EN-
barge on arms-the conditions seemingly
are no better than they We're several
months ago and the United States is
put to a sorry confession that its efforts
have proven of little avail. Interven-
ton looms much more ominously and
while all citizens of the United States
dislike to consider such policy yet
such a course must be forced upon some
outside force. Whether the United
States alone should bear the brunt of
this is matter open to grave doubt.

SEN. PAGE HAS APPOINTMENT.
To Be Made To United States Naval
Academy.
o the Editor. Barre Times,

To the Editor, Barre Times,
Barre, Vt,
NV Dear Sir:-It will become my
duty. on or before April 81 next, to make
recommendations from Vermont for APP
academy at Annapolis.
| have arranged with the military in
structor at the University of Vermont,
Captain Ira l.. Reeves, to hold a pre-
liminary examination to determine both
mental and physical qualifications of
candidates for these appointments.
1t is my present purpose, therefore,
to recommend the candidate who passes
the best examination to be principal,
and those candidates who pass second,
third and fourth best to be first, second
and third alternates, which recommen-
dation means that they are to be desig-
mated by the navy department to take
the examination prescribed by that de-
partment for admission to the Naval
academy.
The examination will take place at
the University of Vermont on Tuesday,
March 10, 1914. The exact hour may
be ascertained by addressing Military In
structor Reeves.
All boys between the ages of Is and
20 years may take this examination,
and there will be no partiality shown
the boy who passes the best examina-
tion shall have my recommendation.
A letter addressed to the secretary of
the navy will bring literature explain
ing fully as to the requirements for en-
trance to the Naval academy.
Very truly yours,
