AS matters are shaping themselves
the attitude of Greece will be one of
!" benevolent neutrality That is, she
will not interfere with any help the
allies may choose to send to Serbia,
but will ignore the treaty by which she
had solemnly promised to go to
Serbia s aid in case the latter country
was attacked by Bulgaria. This rather
illogical position naturally satisfies
neither the allies nor their opponents
Germany already has protested against
Greece permitting the Franco British
landing. England views King Constan-
tine s attitude with suspicion, fearing
that, like Ferdinand of Bulgaria, be
may finally throw in his lot with the
Teutons and Turks.

HELPFUL WORDS
From a Brattleboro Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful.
Does it ache especially after exer-
tion9
Is there a soreness in the kidney re-
gion9
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker
Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan s Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.

Should Have Clean Meat.
{ Brandon Union.)


Nineteen head of cattle belonging to
Roy Harris of Middlesex, affected with
bovine tuberculosis, were shipped Fri
day to the rendering plant at Burling-
ton. Mr.. Harris S herd of Fl were test
ed few days ago by DIR. j. c. Whit
ney and all excepting two were con
demned.-Exchange.
And from the rendering plant these
tubereular infested carcasses, or a good
proportion of them, will be mingled
with Swift & Co. S refrigerator beef
and sold for prime beef OF all dis
gushing enterprises a state was ever q
party to, this is the most filthy. OF all
the unfair and dishonest practices a
state ever INDUCED in, this is the most
unfair. Under the pure food law a
merchant mustn t sell olemargarine, a
pure and wholesome food, unless plain
ly labeled what it is-a blend of milk
and animal fat vet this tuberculal
blend-a blend Of beef and ulcers-ma y
be sold under the disguise of prime
beef. And for u joint which possibly
inoculates your whole family with the
dreaded white plague you pay the price
of prime beef. How childish to com
plain about the Rutland railroad max
ing slow time while such practices AZ
this are waiting to be regulated How
childish to be agitating suffrage foI
women when both women and mel
should be insisting on meat for tn,
dinner table which is free from tuber
culosis.

The Landmark announces that plans
for the new union station at White
River Junction care progressing as
rapidly as possible - The Junction is
an important railroad center, and the
conditions there the past two years or
more have been a blemish on the whole
east side of the state. The junction
should have an attractive station and
approaches and exits which do not
jeopardize the lives of travellers.

assured InaC no
sudden inroad of unexpected company
will cause her any inconvenience.
Here are some of the many things
which will be useful, although each
housewife will find additions and
changes to make, suitable to her
needs.
First, have few cans Of good
soup. This, with some crisp crackers,
makes a fine beginning to any hur-
ried meal and may be prepared almost
as quickly as it takes to write it. One
may add milk or cream to extend the
amount of these soups and usually it
improves them.
On this shelf have a few cans of
fish, such as funny or tuna, salmon
and crab or lobster; these may be
used in various ways as salads, hot
dishes or chowders if SO desired. Cut
let's using a can of salmon, adding
white sauce, rolling in crumbs and
frying in deep fat, will go further
than Z can OF salmon served plain.
A box of goldfish, jars of pickles.
| canned corn beef ard dried beef, oil
| ives, canned fruit, nuts and dates are
other helpful furnishings to the shelf.
A box of marshmallows may be
used as quick frosting for cake or
! may be cut up with fresh fruit
mixed with sweetened whipped cream
| to serve as a most delicious dessert.
| There are cakes which will keep a
| long time; doughnuts sweetened with
honey will keep q month, using sour
| milk and soda instead of sweet milk
| and baking powder
Even lemon pie filling comes canned
| now to use in an emergency. These
| foods are expensive for everyday use,
| but to have some of these things on
| the shelf even if used but once year,
will prove worth the investment.
A few quickly prepared menus
| should be at hand, so that in the hurry
one need only glance at them to
| choose a good meal.

To ANnid Tskinn Cold.

How shall We avoid taking cold? To

is the advice of a well-known physi-

Poultry Lice Do Great Damage.

The offspring from a single
pair of lice, according to H. L.
Kemster of the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station,
will in six weeks be approximate
ly 1875, 900. This fact emphasizes
the Importance of keeping the
poultry free from them.
Lice live upon the bodies of
the poultry. They deposit their
eggs in the plumage, generally
near the vent and live upon the
scruff, dead skin and feathers.
To get rid of them remedies
must be applied to the bird.
Spraying the ROSTERS with lice
killing remedies are of little val
ue. One of the best and most
common methods of getting rid
of lice is to apply insect powder,
which should be well busted in
to the feathers. A second appli-
cation ten days after the first
will catch the second brood of

Wood AlcohoI-Poison

Despite unceasing endeavor to
prohibit the sale of wood alcohol
this poisonous article is still u.s.
ed in the manufacture of quack
medicines, hair tonics, cheap
whiskey, essences, etc., and
every now and then some limo
cent person is killed or made
blind from it's effects. Recently
three persons died and two 9TH
ers were made completely blind
from drinking a cordial made
partly of wood alcohol. It is not
generally known that poisonous
symptoms follow it's external ap-
plication, as well as from taking
it into the stomach. Thus rub
bling the body with it after Turk
ish or other baths, burning it in
"alcohol" lamps, using it for var
nishing pianos, beer watts, small
rooms, etc., may induce slow and
often unsupported but serious
damage to the digestion, sight,
and nervous system. The manu-
facturers of wood alcohol have
succeeded in removing the un-
pleasant odor and taste, disguis-
ing it in this way to facilitate
its sale; but its poisonous pro-
perties are still there, and this
"deodorized' alcohol under what
soever name it may be called
should not be purchased for do
nestle use. 1t should be the self
imposed duty of every citizen,
not only to abstain from using
the poison himself, but to use his
influence in bringing about a law
to stop its manufacture and sale

lice and make a thorough job of
it. Otherwise if these live the
first application is of little value.
A good, cheap and effective
louise powder is made by adding
a mixture of one part of crude
carbolic acid and three parts Of
gasoline to plaster of paris, all
that the powder will blot up.
When the plaster is dry pulver-
ize it and store in tight cans.
Another effective remedy is to
rub a piece of blue ointment, the
size of a pea, well into the skin
just beneath the vent.
