 An Italian his invented an electric ally operated machine for propelling distinctive odors by which he purposes to produce in a Milan theatre a sym phony of Odors." The inventor insists that degree of harmony may be sensed through the olfactory nerve not unlike that sensation we term music when sensed through the auditory nerves. Instead of a "Polonaise in E Flat" he would give a "Fantasie in violets," or "Nocturne in Apple Blos- soms." By combining number of these instruments he declares he is able to produce arpeggios of perfume, har monies of fragrance and haunting nuances of scent which will rival if not surposs, the crashing chords and melodious phrases of master musicians.

DON'T WORRY
mans Home Companion.

From Woman's Home Companion.
 Fear paralyzes healthy action, both mem tai and physical. Worry corrodes, pois- ons and pulls down the organism. It is a perverted mental state that externalizes itself in various physical ailments accord ing to the peculiar native tendencies or weaknesses of the one in whose organ ism its effects find lodgment. Many . death long before its time, in addition to many depleted nervous and general physical condition. is due directly to it.. There is probably no agency that brings us more undesirable results than worry; and this one fact should arouse us to allow 1t absolutely no place in our lives.

The Beginning of War

Four United States marines killed and twenty wounded
 Rear Admiral Fletcher landed at Vera Cruz yesterday afternoon and promptly seized the customs house. The lives of four marines have al- ready been sacrificed, and several of the wounded will probably die.
 There was fighting in the streets and from the housetops of Vera Cruz. 1 The American consul called upon the military representative of Huerta to assist in restoring order, but he de- clined to do so.
 What the outcome of the situation will be, it is not easy to foretell. In view of the fact that arms and am munition consigned to the defacto government at Mexico City were to be unloaded from German ship at Vera Cruz it became Admiral Fletchers duty to prevent it. The President had the constitutional right to order the admiral to proceed to blockade the port and to land marines if necessary, but MT. Wilson desired to have the approval of Congress before using armed force.
 The killing of four of our marines by MeXicans has, of course, accentu- ated the gravity of the situation. The people of the United States are now fired with patriotic spirit, and the government at Washington must act speedily. Democratic Leader Under wood was right in urging quick action in the House Monday. He foresaw the probability of what happened yester day-the spilling of American blood. Underwood's leadership was effectual, and the joint resolution in response to President Wilson's message was passed after a short discussion. The Senate, always more deliberate than the House, has spent many hours in debate. At 2:40 o'clock this morning it took a vote on the Lodge substitute for the House resolution and rejected it by AZ to 8. An amendment pre- pared by Senator Galliger "justifying the President in the use of force to protect American citizens in Mexico," was rejected by vote of 43 to 40. The House will meet today at 10 o'clock.
 There may be few battles in Mexico between United States forces and Mexicans, but since this country is facing war nothing must be left un- done to conduct it with dash and vigor It is gratifying to know that both the army and the navy are better equipped for war, now than they were when the conflict with Spain came. In fact, the armed forces of the nation are in fine fighting trim. In the mat ter of hygienic economies alone the army surgeons have accomplished wonders. If a large body of troops must be sent to Mexico the death rate from disease will be reduced to a minimum.
 But now the first thought of the American people is of the immediate future. A great patriotic public will stand by the President.

 It required four days to hear the Wit nesses for the prosecution, and at the end of the fourth MT. Tooke began his evidence. His first witness called was Major Cartwright. who stated that the object of the society was to enlighten the minds of the public with respect to the nature of their just rights, to obtain a radical reform in the House of Com mons and to recover certain rights which they conceived had been lost by the pe,- pie. Others who testified in his behalf were the Duke of Richmond, the Hon. William Pitt, Rev. MT. Myvill and the Lord Bishop of Gloucester.

 The jury, after comforting for about eight minutes, returned with verdict Of
 Not guilty" It was no sooner en- nounced by the foreman than it was re- ceived with universal exclamation.

 Tt has been suggested that generous citizens who appreciate the educative value of music festivals buy tickets and give them to certain of the humane nstl- tutions. At least loo tickets could be dis tributed in that way. I hope that some one will remember the boys band at the Industrial farm. Those youngsters lcve good music. As they are always reaCy to give their services to help any worthy cause, they should be remembered now. The band numbers about 30 boys and each boy should have a season ticket"

Mexico. Area and Population

"Mexicos area is a little more than 76,V0 square miles, which makes it almost one-fourth as large as the United States; but it's population is only about 15,000,0O0 as compared with about 100000 000 inhabitants of the United States, :" said a local statistician.
 T find that many people have an idea that Mexico is a small country, but any country that is one-fourth as large as this vast mainland of ours is large as as nations go. The northern states of Mexico are sparsely settled, but some of them are rich in mineral resources, and think many Americans would like to see that portion of the unhappy repub- lie annexed to the United States. It would open up a large field for develop ment and would be an important market for products of the Birmingham dis trict"

Tongues That Will Not Die

The tenacity with which merged nations and peoples cling to the language of their ancestors is singu- larly emphasized in the present at tempt to revive the Albanian tongue, a language totally unlike that of en- vironing races, unwritten and known only in speech. While the pundits have decided to attempt the revival they are as yet uncertain whether to write the language in Greek or Roman letters and the spelling is matter of doubt.
 The last century was remarkable for its attempts to revive the mother tongues of many nations. So enthusi- astic did some of the finest minds in Great Britain become over the Celtic movement that lives were devoted to Its furtherance and the Gaelic tongue as result thereof has strongly re- acted upon English literature itself. The same effect was noted in the eff forts of the "Felibrige" associates in reconstituting Provencal as literary language so that it commanded the closest attention of the poet and the dictionary collaborators.

sol. Last year in Barre under no license
there were but l43. The figures speak
for themselves.
Now, members of st. Moniea's church.
remember that every voter is responsible
in his attitude towards this question.
Should you vote for license you stand
responsible before God for every act of
crime and blasphemy incurred through
alcohol. A vote for temperance is a
vote for the family, for the broken
hearted wife, for the famished boy and
girl and for humanity. Let no man stay
away from the polls as every vote is
needed to overcome the protagonists of
license. Liquor has always been made
and drunk and always will be, but to-
day during the present wave of intern
perance. more than at any previous time,
means should be taken to suppress this
widespread evil. Your vote may be the
deciding vote to turn the column either
way and remembering your duty be-
fore God, you can but vote no on Tues
day.

The drinking man is placed at low
figure. The figures show that out of
every 1000 deaths 440, or nearly half,
are caused from alcohol. In 1912 in the
United States there were $4,000 deaths
from alcohol. In the United gates and
her possessions there were 725,000 deaths
from the excessive use of alcohol.

According to their estimates from the

OF this number 100000 were killed. In
the United States during a year approx
