Mary Lee, of San Bernardino. Cal,
wishes to know if salt rubbed in the
hair is good for it.
Use very little. I once knew a
woman who kept little salt on her
dressing table and rubbed a little in
her hair. She said she made the hair
grow thicker on her temples by do
ing it, but she used only few grains
on her finger tips two or three times
week. Perhaps the massaging did
as much good as the salt.

From Beyrout, Syria

From letter written to Chas. Bliss
written Dec. 81 last, but just received,
information comes from Rev. Daniel Bliss
and family. 1t will be remembered that
DR.. Bliss is an uncle of Chas. Bliss and
was the founder and for many years the
president of the American college at
Beyrout, Syria, of which Rev. Howard
Bliss, IA son, is now president. The let
ter is written by another son and speaks
of the family and the conditions there
brought on bv the war in the east. DR..
Bliss il in his 92i year and in spite of his
advanced age attends chapel every day,
reads much and follows all the news
regularly.
The letter adds that they feel the
stress of the war; provisions are growing
scarce and dear and all mail entering or
going out is censored, so that letters are
very old when they reach their destina-
ton" Further information states "that
the college is going ON normally, with
about three-quarters of its registration.
it is looked TO as about the safest place in
Beyrout." If the city is bombarded the
Americans community has protection in
the battleship sent there by the U. S.
government and which is located in the
harbor.
DR.. Bliss visited here several times
when his brother, the late Fred Bliss,
was alive and made many friends who
are glad to hear of his good health, as
well as the safety of his college in spite
of the war in the east.

These libraries are sent free to the town,

Books may be taken from them. subject
to the following rules.
1. Each member of a family may Dor
row books.
2. Each borrower may take two books
at one time, one recent fiction and one
non-fction, o, one classic fiction and one
recent fiction, or two non fiction.
3. Books may be kept two weeks with
renewal of two weeks.
4. For each book not renewed at the

The library commission wishes to keep
track of the number of people who read
these books. For this reason it is better
not to lend book to a friend, but bring
it to the library and let him draw it out
in his own name. This will prevent any

RAILROAD BUILT IN 1872
Dr.. D. D. Grout Gives Interesting Facts Upon
Subject

DR. Don d Grout of Waterbury writes
Interestingly concerning the pioneer days
of the p. & o. r. r., which was referred
to in the last issue of this paper.
WATERBURY, VT. Feb. IS, 1915.
My Dear Editor:
noticed in the last issue of the News
and Citizen an editorial article entitled
when the Railroad was Built, referring
to the P & o. r. K
| have nn recollection Of when it was
begun, but am positive that cars began
running to Wolcort in October, 1879
l came from Kings County Hospital,
Brooklyn, N. Y, where | had been serv
ing as Assistant Physician, TO Wolcott,
where began private practice about
Oct. 20, 1872, and am positive that trains
began running 10 Wolcott some time
that month, and a few months later,
probably in the spring or summer OF
1873, began running to Morrisville.
| well remember having my team
hitched up to drive to Stowe, soon after
the cars began running 10 Morrisville.
and just as | started, a train pulled into
the station at Wolcott, and it occurred
to me that this gave Inc an opportunity
for a test of speed between the "old
mare" and the train. But l soon found
that we were not evenly enough matched
to make it interesting, tor the train could
not keep up with us.
However, we, the "old mare" and /,
continued TO do our best and when we
passed down Main street, Morrisville,
nothing could be seen or heard of the
train. While passing the old Clark Boyn-
ton farm, now the western limits of the
village, the train whistled for the station.
Have repeated this story so many
times feel sure that my recollection of
dates and events is fairly correct, but,
however, if l am mistaken in any part of
it would be pleased to be corrected.
Born and reared in Lamoille County
and having lived in Washington County
ing to me to note that the first railroad
trains on the c. V. road began running
in Washington County the year that
trains that entered Lamoille County did
SO the year that began the practice OF
medicine.
Along this line allow me to say that
only little over year ago my father,
MAY. Lu1ndn M. TROUT, entertained me
very much one day by reciting his expert
ence in driving a six-horse- team to Bos-
ton when he was young man and load
ing on SIX tons of fresh fish and taking
the load to Montreal-by team, mind
you where he sold it for So 90 per one
hundred pounds. for which he paid fifty
cents per hundred pounds in Boston. His
recital of the incidents of the trip was
interesting in the extreme.
Very truly yours,

Visit the Schools

1t no doubt was very encouraging to
those who have the training of children
in charge to see such large number of
visitors at the recent exhibition given by
the grades of the village school. There
is nothing more encouraging to the

occasionaIly visit the school and see what
is being done. They appreciate this aud
are willing to act on any suggestions that
might reasonably be made. 1t is a no
ticeable fact that while now aud then

is there a male visitor, and even the

Vermont, the "Bashful State

Walter Il. Crockett, of Montpelier, in
his address before the Rutland Business
Mems Association, referred to Verm ont
as the "baShfur" State. Presumably
Mr. Crockett meant to convey the notion
that the fact that 50 few of Vermont's
natural advantages remained undevel-
oped is due to her inherent modesty.
This is very graceful way of rebuking
Vermonters for lack of enterprise, but if
it serves the purpose of stirring up agri-
cultural, industrial and commercial
breezes in this particular Sargossa of fl
nancial doldrums, Mr.. Crockett will have
rendered much needed service. Wa

ST. JoHNsBURY, W., Feb. IS, 1915
To Sugar Buyers-Cungress has passed
a law that compeils every package of
sugar to be marked with the gross, tare
and net weights. We will have 10 have
the farmers do this before they bring in
the sugar, as it would be an endless job
to mark 1T when we take it in at our
storehouses. All the pals that we have
sold have their tare marked on them. 1t
is not necessary for the farmers to put
their names on, but please have everyone
weigh each pail separately and put on
the gross and deduct the tare.
l wish you would also impress upon
the farmers minds that they make a
great mistake in putting the sugar up as
soft as they do, as il is killing the demand
for VeTm ont sugar. 1t should be cooked
to 240 degrees, and we shall undoubtedly
make different price on sugar that is
not cooked as hard as that, as it seems
almost impossible to get rid of it where
1t is packed soft. Yours truly,
