West Dummerston Station.
Londonderry Sifter)


The people of the West River valley
are greatly interested in the outcome of
a petition now pending before the public
service commission to compel the Cen
trail Vermont Railway company to pro-
vide a station at West Dummerston.
About a year ago, upon resignation of
the agent, the railroad company decided
not to employ another, and left the
property III charge Cf a caretaker. The
patrons of the station brought their pc
tition claiming the station had been
abandoned within the meaning of the
statue; that no provision existed for
delivering freight, selling tickets or
looking after express; that no fire was
kept in the station, and that the people
who had occasion to use it were put to
great Inconvenience. A hearing was
duly held several months ago, but no de
cision has yet been rendered. AT this
hearing. the company claimed among
other things, that it's business did not
warrant the expense of keeping the
station open by the employment of an
agent.
If the railroad company is permitted
to abandon that station upon such a
pretcxt. it can abandon any and all
stations along the line. Indeed, this is
a situation which should engage the at
tention of the different boards of trade
in the valley to the end that we may
| have an efficient service maintained.

Mexico is a small but turbulent section
of the bottomless pit which has been hav-
ing continuous vaudeville for several years
at the expense of the foreign investor 1t
is inhabited by a warlike class of people
called poems, who lack polish and are never
satisfied with the administration. When
they become thoroughly dissatisfied and
have been carefully primcd with red liquor,
they go on the war path and exterminate
everybody in sight who has more than 50
in Mexican currency on his person.
Mexico was discovered several hundred
years ago by an inquisitive Spaniard named
Cortes, who ran into it unexpectedly one
evening and introduced the natives to some
new and successful forms of sudden death.
In fact, Cortes found it necessary to kill
off most of the population of the country
before he could induce the remainder to
change their religion and table manners.
Spain ruled Mexico by long distance tele-
phone until 1924, when a republic was
formed and an equitable division of the
federal patronage was made. After trying
out several presidents who died with a
panied and surprised look, Porhrio Diaz
was elected in 1877 and ruled for more
than 80 years. Mr.. Diaz was the only

Popularizing Health.
(St. Adams Messenger.)


1.-THE directors of the division of hy-
giene of the Massachusetts state board
of health declare health is com
modify to be disposed of, and that it
should be advertised as thoroughly as
are patent medicines. The work of adj
vertising will make a good job for
those in charge, who will travel about
and with lantern slides, motion picture
films, and lectures set forth the merits
of the commodity, but it will be some
time before health is distributed by
weight or measure. State boards of
health do a great work in safeguard
ing the public, but health is largely a
matter of personal conduct and right
| living. ''-Brattleboro RefOrmer.
Well, a good many of us do not know
how to live right. Human life is held
dear, but as a people We are most eX-
| travagant of it because we are ig-
norant of how to preserve 1t. Pre-
ventive medicine is better than cura-
tive. Therefore, a campaign of educa-
ton is a good thing 1t arouses inter
| est and directly and indirectly it ac-
composites much. The campaign musl
be made a popular one; the "movies
are popular. People will not attend q
| dry as dust lecture by some staid old
fossil even though he be chuck full OF
medical lore, but they will listen tc
the same facts if they be presented il
an interesting way supplemented by
motion pictures. Any state that ha:
the money to conduct such a campaign
surely should resort to it that peopl,
may be made to realize that health @ i:
largely matter of personal conduc
and right living and that they know
how to conduct themselves correctly
and live rightly.

president Mexico ever had who died in
lcisurely and unimpassioned manner, and
he had to get out of the country in order
to do it.
Mexico is now ruled by two of its leading
statesmen, Villa and CarranZa, who are
trying to corral the electoral vote with ma
chine guns and wildcat currency. Villa
would make a poor president, as he never
even graduated from the high school and
wears the same shirt several days in sue
cession Carranza, however, is a courtly
old gentleman, who asks nothing save to be
allowed to reign with one hand and issue
private bank scrip with the other.
Large numbers of Americans who have
gone into Mexico in recent years with GER
titled checks and land grants from some
deceased president have since returned
home hurriedly without anything except
their honor and jack-knife. This is what
makes intervention popular with people
who stand ready to defend the old flag
with their second wives children. How
ever, if 1t becomes necessary to go into
Mexico and make it safe for the foreigner
to move out of his front yard, your Uncle
Samuel may be depended upon to do high
, class job.

Justice Braley of the Massachusetts
state supreme court paid out a cogent
line OF argument to the lawyers assem-
bled at the annual dinner of the Mas
sachusetts Bar association. Forciblv
reminding his fellows in the profess
sion that they could not hope to com
pete IN mere getting with those
who are engaged in wholly mercantile
pursuits, he directed attention to the
fact that the lawyer S chief power to
establish himself in an honored place
in society lies in his opportunity to
protect society's interests and to gain
name for unquestioned integrity. Let
no lawyer blind himself to the fact
that it depends in part upon him
whether necessary and salutary laws
shall be promoted or INSTRUCTED, wheth-
cr the efforts of our best citizens and
of the law-making bodies shall be
brought to fruition or stunted. When
ever lawyers neglect their opportunity
to help the general in the interest
of rendering specialized service to a
too selfish client they lose caste, as
Judge Braley says they do, and become
tagged with the reputation that their
services are daily up for sale to the
highest bidder. Other standards than
the possession of money are employed
by society in judging its members

Springfield, Vermont, is one of the
most remarkable towns of New Eng
land considering that it is located sew
eral miles from a steam railroad. A
canvass by the Reporter shows that in
the eight leading industries of the vii
lage 1,406 employees are on the pay
rolls, not including the office forces.
The manufacturing statistics of Rut-
land compiled under federal direction
were announced recently, and a COM
parison shows the number of wage
earners in the factories of Springfield
is 70 per cent of the number employed
in Rutland. Probably no other town
in the state with the exception of
Windsor, which is booming under the
effect of war orders at its machine
shops, can show as large a growth in
the past two or three years as Spring
field.

Apples Above the Standard.
bennington Banner.)

The showing made by Vermont APP
pie growers at the New England APP
pie show is fairly astonishing when
we consider that high grade apple
culture in Vermont is still in its in
fancy. Not only did the Vermont
apples show up better than those from
the other New England states but
they were superior in size, coloring
and flavor to selected exhibits from
the great apple growing districts of
the Pacific coast. Even in varieties
like the Jonathan and Delicious
which are recognized as western varie-
ties and supposed to do better there,
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-11-01

the Vermont showing of these varie-
ties proved superior. The great Ev-
erett orchards at Bennington found
themselves barred on some varieties
because their apples were so large that
they were above standard and shut out
under the rules which fixed the
standard of size for each variety. Sew
eral Vermont exhibitors lost because
of poor packing, but this error they
will be able to correct in the future.
1t is not too much to say that Yer
mont has probably the best apple land
in the whole United States and sooner
or later this great resource of the state
will bo developed.

DOCTORS OF HEALTH,

Doctors spend too much time study
ing disease and not enough studylng
health, said DR.. Henry B. Favill OF
Chicago, chairman of the Council of
Health and Public instruction of the
American Medical association, in an
address.
"Industry,' said DR.. Fayill, els in
the last analysis matter of health.
All of the great questions relating to
the well-being of the masses and their
work, their play, their opportunities,
their habits, their livelihood, their in
fancy and their old age correlate alb
solutely in the one great factor OF
health. The more thoroughly human
affairs are investigated, the more IN
DERIVING causes for social conditions
are discovered, the deeper becomes q
knowledge of social pathology, the
more manifest it becomes that mental,
moral and physical values in human
affairs are ultimately questions Of
health. -
In other words, it is going to be in
creasingly necessary for US not only
to do everything possible to avoid
disease, but also to do everything pos
sible to retain health. The work OF
the trained physician of the future is
| going to be far more that of keeping
people well than treating people who
are sick. From this point of view
DR.. Favill criticizes medical education
of today because while it teaches tn,
young physician everything that il
known about disease, it teaches hin
at the same time very little abou
health. We are coming more and NOR,
to realize that success and Happiness
in any relation in life are necessaril,
based on good health - a sound min,
in a sound body. This is the idea
toward which we should all aim, bot
as individuals and as communities
To secure it, as DR.. Favin has wei
pointed out, two things are necessary
4 properly trained medical profession
skilled in all the methods of moder
science by which health can be pre-
served and a public which will est
mate the value of growing seientif
knowledge on the preservation @
health and which will cooperate wit
properly trained and right-mindc
physicians in securing such benefits
The physicians of today and of tn
future must resume the functions G
the doctors of the middle ages and b
| real teachers and leaders Possessin
the technical knowledge necessary fC
securing health, they must point CT
the way to the people by which fire,
dom from disease can be secured.
