Protect the Childrenl

Within the past two or three weeks
three Vermont children have been
burned to death. Had there been a rail
road wreck in which three persons were
killed one might expect quite a popular
outburst in the shape of demand for
safer service. Why not direct at our
selves the criticism which we are ever
willing to direct at corporation? Fatal
burning of children is, in the great ma
jority of cases, easily preyentable.
Deaths from this source "are but a minor
fraction of the mortality from prevent
able causes" but "they are sufficiently
numerous to warrant an attempt to
prevent Them" as The journal of the
American Medical association says This
Journal, after Analysing the available
figures, says that there is marked diff
ference between the mortality of boys
and girls, and the girls suffer by the
comparison. This difference is accounted
for by the different type of clothing
worn by the two sexes. Up to the age
of two or three boys and girls are dress
ed alike, and up to this age the mortal
ity rate corresponds, after which age,
however, more girls than boys meet
death in the flames. The reason is that

We should profit by the experiences oil
our neighbors, and rejoice in our immu
nifty thus far. Representative Sawyer's
bill does not 90 far enough, however. II
provides that "all nonliquid poisons
should be put up in tablets, colored blue
the shape OF an equilateral triangle, and
placed in similarly shaped and colored
bottle"
But sometimes tablets are taken out
OF the original bottle. 1t is conceivable
that the triangular blue colored bottle
be broken. The only absolutely safe
way to prevent the accidental poisoning
is-in addition to all the above precau-
tions-to have each tablet separately
wrapped, as New York requires. Bot
ties could then be broken with impunity.
And while tablets and pills are made
in many different shapes and sizes, none
now on the market carry the distinctive
wrapper that would serve as the air
brake when all other danger signals had
been passed flying. Boston Herald.

reduced at Knights.
Peter Co1dulios, who has been the
guest OF George Karkanedes of South
Main street for the past week, returned
yesterday to Burlington, where he is EN-
ployed as the superintendent of laun-
dry.
Peter Calderara and little son, Ora, of
Railroad street returned yesterday from
Burlington, where they have been spend
ing several days with relatives. To-
morrow they win leave for Milford,
n. H., to pass the remainder OF the
month.
The table of statistics of the number
of granite cutters employed at Quincy,
Mass, during the year 1913 shows that
the average for the year was 1899, the
poorest month being December, when
there were but 904. The years average
is considerably poorer than seven years
ago, when the average was l,l64, and
each year slEce 1906 showed a slow de-
cline, although in 1905 the average was
only 9l4.

dresses are more likely to take fire than
the simple male attire. 1t is also stated
that the material entering into girls
clothing is more inhammable, but this
is not given very serious consideration.
The medical journal advocates a further
smplification of the manner of dressing
girls, particularly those of the younger
ages" Added to this there should be
more care on the part of parents. 1t is
unwise to lock little ones up alone in a
building. 1t is unwise to leave them
alone in room where there is fire or
matches But it is unnecessary to
enumerate the unwisdoms, they are well
known; the trouble is parents seem to
forget or disregard them.-St. Adams

Buying Out of Town.

People sometimes tell the home mer,
chant that he does not sell as eheaply
as metropolitan stores or mail order
houses in more or less distant cities.
Any person wishing to compare the
two scales of prices should inquire
whether the distant store was selling
the same goods. Second grade products
can be made to look very handsome in a
catalogue cut. But the home merchant
can not float that kind of goods. They
come back to his store too easily.
1t is amusing to see the bother people
will take for trifling sums they think
they are saving. They will travel
many miles, spend street car fares, pay
for luncheons, hotel bills, and tips. They
get tired and footsore, tramping around
overgrown stores separated by long
distances They wait for change, carry
bundles and pay express. They pay a
high price in money and energy for sup
posed economies.
When You buy goods away from home
you rarely take them back. The bother
and expense looks prohibitive. When
you buy at home You would return them
if dissatisfied. This takes the time of
clerks, frequently the goods have been
injured while in your hands.
Where it is so easy to return goods,
the customers must be given both the
worth of his money. and something suit
ed to his needs. A higher grade of
salespeople is thus required in the home
store. To make a sale. that will stick
so near home. the customer must be
given intelligent advice.
Thus the public demands from the
home store more competent service than
il exacts from the distant merchant.
This means additional expense, which
is counterbalanced by lower rents and
like economies. When you consider how
generously the home store responds to
all kinds of demands, reasonable and un-
reasonable, the range of its prices is
remarkably low Battleboro Phoenix.

he had a little adventure with 12-
pound "muskie." He took with him
some fishing tackle and while there
fished a little while in the Chippewa.
A man whose name Ben could not

soon got in touch with Mr.. "Musk1e.
Ben~.went to help him land it and
just as he got near the fish the line
broke, but the Dowagiac lure caught
in Ben's trousers, near the ankle,
and Ben and the muscallonge were
the next instant floundering around
and wrestling in the water.
The fish started dragging Ben
around the river, but the butcher fin
ally got a half-nelson on the scrappy
denizen of the river and got him to
shore They got the fish.

MALE STENOGRAPHERS AND

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that while it
has no difficulty in securing suffi-
cient female stenographers and type
writer's to meet the demands of the
departments at Washington, the sup
ply of male eligibles has not been
equal to the demand. Young men
who are at least Is years of age and
who are willing to accept the usual
entrance salaries, which are $84O and
5000 a year, have excellent opportun-
tiles for appointment. While the en-
trance salaries are low, advancement
is reasonably rapid to those merit

competent stenographer should be
