THE quarantining was done al
Washington. said Dr. Dyson today.
That acted automatically for the state
for we are working in conjunction
with the federal bureau Of animal
husbandry
Every single outbreak has been
traced beyond the shadow OF a doubt
to the use of anti-hog cholera serum
manufactured by a Chicago concern.
The public should be warned that
where hog cholera serum has been
used within the past 80 days hog rails
ers should be on the lookout for trou-

be discharged as cured next week. The
absence Of the disease has worked d
hardship on only one person, and that

Gender, who automatically loses his
Job with the stamping out OF the cpl
demic, According to the provision Of
his appointment. he Is paid by the
county supervisors for disinfecting the
houses occupied by smallpox patients.
With nothing for him to do It IS ex-
pected that the supervisors will insist
that he be laid of. The work of vac
cination is still going on. and DR.. Mid
dleton has had hundreds of persons
visit his Office for this purpose. Dr.
P. H. Schroeder has also offered to
vaccinate everyone who calls at his
Office free of charge, providing the
supervisors furnish him with vaccine
points, and he viii communicate this
offer TO the supervisors today. It IS
thought that the board will readily
grant this expense in order 10 prevent
a repetition Of the enormous cost TO
the county during the last few months.

The national Liberty bell in Philadel.
phia will not be taken to the San Fran
cisco exposition until after the Fourth
OF July. Thanks for the delay, but the
ancient and honored piece ought never
to leave its present location. Now that
the plan of putting the bell on exhibit
ton has found favor among those charged
with its keeping, there win be demands
iMnumerable from all parts of the coun.
try from persons who wish to cart the
relic around to make money off it. Only
those who make pretensions of putting
on the higher class of exhibitions will
have the temerity to make the demands
at first, but with the growing success of
the demands made by the bigger shows
there will come a growing boldness on
the part of the smaller shows. No doubt
the Liberty bell would be great money
getter for the expostions; but the an
cent piece is, or ought to be, beyond
that field of usefulness.

MONTPELIER.

Guido Cardini sold his grocery store

on he will return to his home in Italy
with Mrs. Cardini, whose health seems
to. be impaired by life in this country
and whose physicians have advised a
return to her former home. They will
remain in Montpelier few weeks before
beginning the tourney.
Peter Guerino was shot in the right
leg Sunday while hunting in Middlesex
Notch. When he stumbled the gun dis

SHOW VERMONT GIRLS.
J. A. Chaplin Would Like to Have Them
Given More Attention.

Editor, Barre Times ! noticed an
editorial extract from The Times about
"The Average Vermont Girl" and it
struck me as pretty good estimate and
summing up of the subject. wouldn't
care to add or detract anything from
what you said. If you had the courage
to tackle the subject at all, of course
you had to say the right thing, if you
could possibly find words to convey the
right meaning, and you did all right.
This is all preliminary to query |
want to make, which is just little in
the same line. The Vermont agricultural
department has just put out a bulletin
on Vermont maple sugar, one of our
finest and most typical products next
to boys and girls.) The book is finely
illustrated, but why didn't the compilers
put into the pictures some of our YER
mont girls? There is an excellent de-
scription of the old Indian sugar making
and lifelike reproduction of an old In.
dian woman drinking sap; but why
not have put in picture of one OF our
real girls drinking sap or eating sugar
on snowg
This is not said in spirit of wanting
to criticise the bulletin, for it is an
excellent work, but just as a sugges-
ton for the next issue.
Very truly yours,
]. A. Chaplin,
