Bennington did not have a successful
Industries day on Wednesday. One of
the prime reasons for it, according to
the Banner, is that there was not suf-
ficient advance preparation for it.
Another contributing feature is that
for some una%ccountable reason some of
the principal manufacturing plants did
not welcome visitors, from two of them
prospective visitors actually being
turned away. 1t is difficult to explain
the motive that actuates the mana
gers of factories in refusing inspection
of their works to t~ownspeople. II
would appear that the little annoyances
such inspection would cost a factory
would be more than counterbalanced by
the good will and enthusiasm visitors
would carry away as the result of look

WHY WEAK LUNGS?

The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats-
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sands of people take Scott Emulsionafter
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. SCOTS Emulsion is natures
strength-builder. Refuse substitutes.

Electrocutions are becoming alto
gether too frequent in Vermont. Every
few days somebody is killed by coming
into contact with wires carrying cleo
tricity of high voltage. In a'great
percentages of the cases the men are
employees of electric lighting and power
concerns. Late Friday afternoon an
employe of the Rutland company was
killed, probably instantly, by receiving
a current of 100 volts, and this week
a lineman for the lighting company at
Montpelier met death in exactly the
same way. The frequency of these
electrocutions suggests that some
prompt remedy of the trouble, what
ever it is, should be found. If greater
safety appliances are necessary to re-
duce the hazards of the occupation of
linemen they should be affected. If
men too little familiar with electrical
work are employed as linemen, this
practice should be discontinued. Al
together too high a percentage of mer
employed in electrical work are in
jured or killed and the danger, what
ever it is, should command the i'm
mediate attention of experts with q
view to minimizing, if not elimination.

A UNIQUE

The Bennington County Improvement
association has recently completed a
school improvement contest remarkable
in its nature and in its success.
The essential feature of the contest
was the improvement of the school
room, the school building and the school
yard. Credit was given the school for
anything which improved property, as,
for example, cleaning up the room,
putting up attractive pictures, growing
plants either in the room or out doors,

year; labor is well employed in that
line.
Some of the machine shops are

Manufacturers of lime indicate the
demand is light although somewhat
better than it was two months ago.
Paper manufacturers are operating on
five days a week schedule.
Wholesale jobbers in foodstuffs re-

better than usual for this period.
Manufacturers of organs report that
there is a good supply of orders in this
direction although the demand for
pianos is not as brisk as usual.
Retail trade is reported as fairly good
by the retail merchants, the warm

will be below normal.

fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter Of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal Of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
