MAY USE ALUM TO PICKLE.
Bureau Of Chemistry Finds It Not
Unhealthful.

Pickles and the influence of alum on
the nutrition and health Of man form
the subject of a recent investigation
by the referee board of consulting
scientific experts of the bureau OF
chemistry. Department of Agriculture.
The board came to the conclusion
that the amount of alum which re-
mains in pickles, and is therefore con-
sumed, is so small as to be negligible
From the information at hand it also
appears that alum is almost univer-
sally used in the preparation of pickles
and may, therefore. be considered
The bureau of chemistry, in view of
these facts, offers no objection to the
use of small amount Of alum In the
preservation of pickles.

BENNINGTON VI, FEB. 2S, 1914,

The village caucus Friday evening
was happy-go-lucky affair. There
were no signs of previous arrange
ment and the ticket that emerged
from good natured pot of conten-
ton is in the main excellent. The
friends of A. ]. Cooper bungled badly
in dividing their strength. Mr.. Coop
er did not want any nomination, bus
some OF his friends wanted him on
the ticket but disagreed as the place
and his name was presented for two
places which insured his defeat for
both. The caucus showed the ad-
vantage of having printed ballots as
many will not take the trouble TO
write one. The defeat of l.. II. Buss,
who has served on the board of trus-
tees for several years was due to the
public holding him chiefly respon-
sible for the clay muir on Main street
last summer Mr.. Buss was no more
to blame than others, but the voters
laid it up against him. The trustees
nominated, Sidney A. Burt, II. %.

Judging from a ratner rambling

tempt is being made up there to Sc
cure village organization in the vi,
lage of South SALISBURY. The BAN
ner knows nothing about the local
situation at South SALISBURY. bu. IS
a general proposition believes that
the Incorporation OF villages in Yer
mont towns is Il mistake. We believe
that Bennington would be better off
If the three village charters and two
graded school districts were thrown
up and the town government made
responsible for the whole thing VII
lagos are formed with the commend
able purpose Of securing for the
thickly settled portion OF township
certain added facilities OF public ser
vice, but in the long run they tend
to increase expenses, to multiply Of
fees and to divide responsibility
while the township government can
give any and all advantages that can
be secured from village charters and
graded school districts. There are
several towns in Vermont that have
proved this By actual experience and
we believe that they get more for
their money and more effectise

on the articles in the warning takes
place right away after the meeting
opens at o'clock. The polls open

cept the vote on license which is

things to be voted on Is the proposed

There is no question about more

has to pay considerable sums Tor
quarters for various departments OF j.

would cost more money but it would
