VERMONT'S GOOD HEALTH.
CFrom the st. Adams Messenger


When the announcement was made that
the cancer death rate was SO high in
Vermont that the State Medical society
would work in conjunction with a national
association which aims at reducing that
! rate. the Messenger undertook to point
out that while the state should AXE the
matter seriously it should avoid taking
il too seriously. and argued that Yer
monters need have no fear that they are

health than are the people of other COM
