Nashville stands Just about where
II did fifty years ago in regard to pro

Despite the fact that the medical pro
fession mas learned that houses and
things are secondary as compared vita
people themselves In the spread OF dis.
ease, the city has made little official
progress on the basis OF this knowl
edge.
The health authorities Of the city
need above all things proper isoia.

LEARNING TO SAVE
Vermont savings5anks Depositors
Mute Testimony to Thrift


Vermont is divided into three fin
ancial classes, it would seem: Those
who save and put their money in
sound banks or sound investments;
those who save but are unwise in put
ting their money at work; and those
who live today with no thought of the
morrow. These same classes exist
everywhere so Vermont need not be
surprised. In fact, Vermont may well
taken pride in the thrift of her citiz-
ems when every other one has a bank
account.
There will always be those who
have the get-rich-quick itch and these

while it is impossible to eliminate.
this class entirely, it ought to be pos
sible to reduce it. 1t ought to be pos
sible to make most people believe
that in this day of sharp competition
that something for nothing does not
exist.
The so-called "Blue Sky law, pass
ed by the legislature of 1912, seems
to have worked well in giving the
"easy" speculator some protection. Un
der this law the bank commissioner
examines and licenses companies be-
fore Offering for sale certain invest
ments and securities. Commissioner
Williams believes the law works well
and that it has saved the people of
Vermont large amount OF money by
keeping unsafe investments out.
The suggestion that the Vermont
Bankers association undertake a
campaign of education to save regul-
arly and systematically seems a good
one although this is something the
bankers must decide for themselves.
But obviously it would be for their
interest to increase the number OF
depositors. The school savings
banks fostered by local banks, UNI
doubtedly are training up thrifty
citizenry OF tomorrow and for this
reason ought to be encouraged in all
parts of the state-St. mAlbans Mes

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations OF
queenly conquest, and her crown Of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties Of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences Of politics; and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs Of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood Of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to a higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at
once drop out Of sight and are soon
forgotten? The reason is plaln-the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to medicine. A medl-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need OF it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation / have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy that know OF has so
large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that it fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder diseases, corrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes the
uric acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-
dress DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also
mention the Bamberg Weekly Herald.
