Healthy Hair, Soft.
Fluffy and Radiant

Beautiful hair does not just happen
to be so, but is always a matter of
care and proper nourishment of the
hair roots. No matter if your hair is
falling out, stringy, lifeless and full
of dandruff, Partisan Sage, an. mex
pensive tonic, sold by all druggists. is
all that is ever needed 1t nourishes
the hair roots and stimulates the
growth of new hair. Even dandruff
is entirely removed with one applica-
ton, and itching scalp and falling
hair cease; your hair will be bright,
vigorous, soft and fluffy
Whether your hair is oily dry or
brittle Partisan Sage Immediately re-
moves the cause, and by toning up
the scalp quickly restores the hair to
its original brilliancy and vigor.
Partisan Sage can always be had
from w. H. Gokay, and is delightful
and easily applied treatment that will
never fail to act as real and lasting
benefit to your hair and scalp.

PAID SECRETARIES
Vermont Boards of Trade Should
Have Them, Says Secretary Taylor

Vermont Boards of Trade Should
Have Them, Says Secretary Taylor
James T. Taylor, secretary of the
Greater Vermont association, has be-
gun systematic efforts to have the
various boards of trade in Vermont
employ paid secretaries, the idea be-
ing that community may increase
it's efficiency if the boards of trade or
other organizations within their bor-
ders will pay trained men to give a
whole or part of their, time in behalf
Of the objects for which the organlza-
ton stands. The project is to put all
commercial organizations on bust
ness basis to the end that the civic
and commercial interests of the com
munity will be served the same as
county agricultural interests are sery
ed by the county advisors.
The Rutland Business Mems asso-
citation, in response to letter from
Mr. Taylor, had a meeting last week
and voted to appoint a committee to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of having q
paid secretary.
Colleges and schools are now turn
ing out young men with special train
ing for work as commercial secretar-
les, and II is possible for Vermont to
secure some of the graduates at Z.
moderate salary at first. One of thses
institutions is the Tuck School OF Ad-
ministration and Finance at Dart
mouth College, and some of them will
be seeking positions with commerce.
al organizations the coming season
Bellows Falls has already taken up
the paid secretary proposition and
has partially raised the money to pay
Prof. Alfred l.. Smith of the depart
ment OF commerce OF the Tuck
school TO be at the head of the boost
ing department of the local board of
trade. He will give the town two
and onehalf days and two evenings
a week He is accepting this post al
so that he can use the information
obtained while doing the work as the
foundation for his work at college.
The students may take part in the
work at Bellows Falls.-From Bur-
lington Free Press. Dec. >, 1914.

Bennington was treated to dense
fog Monday for the first time in sew
eral years. For some reason I'M
known meteorological conditions in
Bennington are such that a real fog
is a rare occurrence and then usually
in connection with warm spell in
the winter. In the Connecticut and
Champlain valleys a dense morning
fog is often the precursor of a fine
day particularly during the latter part
of the summer A similar condition
exists in the Hudson valley. Possibly
the reason why Bennington is such a
healthful town is because of this abb
sence of fog, though the soil condit-
ions insuring drainage everywhere are
distinct aid.

The,coruons.

The Gorgons were creatures Of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being of peculiarly abhor-
rent aspect Their hair was composed
of serpents. their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect. vibrating their tongues
threateningly. while the hands of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were OF brass. The gaze of the mon
sters was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.
One of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and behcaded by Perseus.

for Ethiopia, holding the severed head
in his hands. the drops of blood which
fell from it became serpents, which
ever after infested the sands of Lydia

In order to test out the question
once for all the steamship Dacia with
her cargo of cotton for Rotterdam
should be sent with convoy of cruis-
ers and battleships with orders to res
ist any meddling on the part of Great
Britain. The British nation is buying
millions of dollars worth of ammunit-
ion, guns and other munitions of war
in this country every week, as well as

Too Much Speed for Delivery

Too Much Speed for Delivery
 Purposes
 Last Friday Kennedy's de- livery horse was standing near the Fray Marcos when the Der mont car drove up. The horse took decided objection whether to the presence of the car or to it's manner of approach and start ed for other parts. The speed generated was entirely too rapid for practical delivery purposes and also for the well being of the wagon. However, no very seri- ous harm was done. The horse escaped practically unhurt, and Dr. Carthwaite soon restored the wagon to original health.

When men learn TO love each other as
much in fact as they have been professin,,
to do in word, we shall be warranted In
putting out confidence in treaties and
diplomacy and in replacing the instru-
ments of war by the implements OF peace.
The Bible story OF the confusion OF Ian
guages at Babel is OF interest at a time
when there is being considered the possi-
bility Of a universal language and the
process by which the one original Ian
guage, II there ever was such a thing
became broken up into that diversity Of
speech now existing.
The Bible story doubtless has under
lying II in historic fact. incidents OF the
Kind recorded in the early chapters Of
Genesis find so many echoes In universal
literature that II would be against reason
to deny to them a certain kind of hts
tortc reality. This does not require US
to put upon them exactly the interpreta-
ton given by the Bible. writer's or editors.
Because certain events occurred four
and five thousand years ago and mem
not impose upon US the obligation TO ac-
cord TO them any more OF IA in.rac Ilods
character than IL TO be attributed to sim
liar events occurring in our own day.
We shall recognize God as being an
operative factor in such occurrences as
what IL known as the confusion at Babel.
and yet without supposing that He was
more an influence then than lie is now,
80 that by observing the way In which
any language spoken within recent times
becomes split up into derivatlve dialects
We shall be able to conclude what the
process was fifty centuries or more ago
An example in point would be the Latin.
which at the time OF Christ's coming
was the language Of Italy. That same
language, very much varied from the
original, Is now in use in Italy under the
name OF Italian; In France under the
name Of French; in Spain under the name
or Spanish. They all are fundamentally
corruptions OF the Latin. and they have
come % differ from one another because
Of the distance from one another OF the
countries where they are used.

that the Bible writers put the cart before

was not that the Babelites scattered over

that they commenced speaking different
languages because they had become eat
