Chesterfield line to Brattleboro all the
road is patrolled by the state, part of
it being state road and part not yet
improved. The results of work this
spring with the two-horse road grader
and subsequently with the drag pro
vided an excellent illustration of what
the state maintenance system is accom-
plishing.
In its account of the trip the Keene
Sentinel said: ''The run through Brat
tleboro was over an excellent piece of
Vermont highway. From Brattlehoro
to Hinsdale there are state aid and I'M
improved sections with considerable
yet to be done to bring the road up TO
the standard desired by the town OF
Hinsdale, which is pushing regarding
and reconstruction rapidly and will do
lot of blasting near the village this
year. From Hinsdale to Keene the
west side road, all completed except a
mile or two now nearly finished in
Winchester, speaks for itself. Oppor-
tunltles to observe the results of oil
sand and tarvia treatment on granite
and trap rock macadam as well as on
gravel road, were given on this road
and on other sections along the route.

The Worcester Gazette has taken no
definite stand for woman suffrage, still
it thinks there should be q way TO
reach the thousands of Massachusetts
women who have devoted their time
almost entirely to the home and OBJ
tain an expression of sentiment from
them. Unquestionably many men would
be guided in their voting by a knowl-
edge of the earnest wishes and honest
beliefs of Massachusetts women in gen
eral. There is a general belief that if
the women of the state could be per
mitted to vote first on suffrage and
show whether or not majority de
sired the ballot, there is little question
but that the decision at the polls next
November would be very largely af
fected if not actually guided by tho
result.

Passing of the
Prune-Barrel

AT recent pure food show
in New York City the great
throngs of visitors were as
founded at the remarkable
number and variety of foods
exhibited, as well as at the
high quality and development
of the foods themselves.
Scientifically it marked
great step forward in the path
of right eating and living.
Pure food shows of this
kind are being held from time
to time in all sections of the
country. The exhibition be-
ing held in San Francisco,
marking the opening in
1915 of the Panama Canal,
has the greatest display of
pure food stuffs ever shown.
We are rapidly getting
away from the open barrel of
crackers, the dirty hogshead
of prunes, adulterated this or
that, and countless other ini-
quitous foods that keep our
bodies in turmoil and threat
en- our lives.
One has but to read the adj
vertisements in The State
Journal to note the distinct
advance made in preparing
and selling the things one eats
and feeds to ones children.
