belief that everything is ali right

pecially true as it applies to those

a physician, above all men, should
be an optimist-ready to stimulate
hope even though he may not have
it himself. Hopefulness in the
countenance and optimism in the
words and and actions OF the physi-
clan are as sunshine in the sick
room; they stimulate hopefulness of
recovery in the sick and courage
that often has potent influence for
good. Even when recovery is not
possible, the Journal Of the american

harm, is done. They make life worth
living while it lasts. The psychic in

DANGEROUS CORNERS
Bennington Tramp Thinks There is
Need OF Care


A Remington tramp wishes TO take
the liberty of offering a suggestion
for consideration by the city Fathers
as follows
The tramp thinks il would be a
safety scheme to establish portable
guide stands al the intersection of
North and South streets with Main.
At Pleasant and North and possibly
at one or two other points on which
is displayed card reading, Keep
to the right'-"Go Slow'-and at
night displaying a red or blue light.
Ii is said that stitch in time
saves nine and so. if proper safe
qua DIS are provided in time it map
prevent some broken noses and pos
sibly wOrsc-broken limbs.
The tramp has noticed some pretty
risky driving around those corners
II is hoped that the tramp's sugges-
ton will give no offence.
Neat durable stands can be made
at small cost.
