ENFORCE THE LAWS.

The appalling total of 5471 people
were killed by trains while trespassing
on railroad rights of way in the United
States during the past year; and of
that number Vermont sacrificed her
full share, we venture to say. The
trouble is said to be in many States
that courts refuse to convict trespassers
who are caught before they are killed,
albeit most States have laws against
trespassing on railroad tracks. That
being the case, little development of
public opinion toward demanding proper
administration of the laws is needed

HEALTH THROUGH PUBLICITY.

BraItleDOrO he1Ormer.
That was fine tribute to printers
ink that Edward A. Morse, assistant
secretary of the New York State Char
tiles Aid association, gave at Rochester
yesterday before the American Public
Health association: printers ink
should be entered in the pharmacopoeia
as an accredited remedy for human ills.
Among other things, it prevents tuber-
culosis and builds hospitals to cure it;
it saves the lives of children and con-
trolls epidemics of smallpox. Thous-
ands of babies are today alive in New
York State largely because big doses of
printers ink were administered to the
public by the State and local depart
ments of health"

Middlebury story that has stood the

which will come straight home to many

severe. l did not rest well and when l
got up in the morning, felt miserable.
The kidney secretIons were irregular in
passage. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills restored me to good health"
AFTER ALMOST THREE YEARS HAD
PASSED, Mr.. Damon said; II have had
no kidney trouble since Doan's Kidney
Pills rid me of it. gladly confirm my
former endorsement of this medicine"

A Barre youth, 16 years old, doing a
Smart Aleck asinine trick of driving an
automobile at speed of twenty miles
an hour through the streets of this city
with hands off the steering wheel,
should be ''put away" at once and eff

his arms should be drawn from their

RIFLE PRACTICE.
Swanton Courier.

With the view of making better
marksmen of our miitiamen rifle ranges
are to be provided for each company of
the regiment. This is a move in the
right direction. AS a general thing
Vermonters are pretty good shots, but
more skill in handling army rifles can do
no harm and sure to be helpful in times
of need and at the same time arouse
more interest in citizen-soldier organi-
cations.

sary to describe the picnic, for it was
just like every other one. They had
some games, and then they roasted
their peanuts and popped their corn,
had their ice cream and cake, and then
had some more games, all of which
Pauline watched with eager interest.
One of the most exciting games was
that in which the boys had to tag the
girls. When it came Dicks turn to tag
Molly, she raced round the yard and ran
two or three times about Pauline's
chair The last time she came she
dropped little pin which held her dress
together But she didn't notice it, she
was so eager to beat. Pauline saw it
drop, but she was so interested in the
race that she didn't call to Molly, who
was now way off in the edge of the
woods. She was all alone, for every
one had gone off to watch the race and
nurse was sitting by the brook reading.
Pauline looked around and at last spied
the pin in the grass near her chair.
She looked around-no one was near
and instinctively she thought, why,
I'll pick it up myself. Acting on this
impulse, she put one foot on the ground
and then the other and actually stepped
towards where the pin lay, stopped
down, picked it up, and pinned it to her
dress. Then she went to her chair and
pushed it out to the road. ooh girls"
cried Ethel, ''look at Pauline. She's
walking" Yesl it was true, and
when the picnic was over and they
started for home, she refused to get
into her chair. With Molly on one side
of her and Ethel on the other she went
along with the others. Her mother
was sitting on the Inn porch and could
hardly believe her eyes when she saw
the empty chair coming up and her
darling daughter actually walking
And it was all those dear country chill
dren. They had awakened a new life
in her girl and now she was we'll She
ran out to meet Pauline, but she would
not let go of her friends, and said,
'See, mother dear, | can walk "
When she sat down on the porch beside
her and the children had gone, Pauline
put her arms around her mothers neck
and whispered, 81 have thanked my
Heavenly Father for making me well
and giving me such dear friends"
Eyes! my dear daughter" said her
mother, tears in her eyes, ut was right
for you to thank your Heavenly Father
for giving you such friends, for, but
for them, I'm afraid you would have
been a cripple all your life -
When Pauline went home few days
after this all the children were at the
Inn to bid her good by. Some hac
learned to love her so much that they
could not keep back their tears wher
she came on the porch and got into
the carriage. "Goodby everybody
she said as they drove off. Il hope tc
see you all next summer" Ethe
noticed that she had Daisy in her arms

INDUSTRIAL BOOM IN VERMONT

Rutland Herald.
The schools of Windsor are crowded,
due to the industrial boom created by
war orders. 1t is said that the capacity
of the school-rooms, said to be 300, will
be severely taxed this winter and addi-
tional room may be demanded. This is
fine criterion of the impetus of NUM-
tons trade, but how much better it
would be if all the new residents of
Windsor had before them the completion
of similarly large orders for domestic
consumption.

Two Vermont youths who walked rs

fatally injured. The race for education
surely is not always to the swift.

in Commemoration Of Death
Of Emancipation.

Washington, D. c., April 15.-Busi-
ness of the United States government
virtually was suspended today in rec
ognition OF the fiftieth anniversary OF
the death of Abraham Lincoln. In the
national capital as elsewhere through
out the country and in foreign lands
wherever the American government
is represented the event was being OBJ
served in accordance with President
Wilson's executive order. The Presi-
dent himself laid aside the cares OF
office as did olner onicials OF the gov
eminent to pay tribute to the memory
of the martyred presidents.
BY direction of the President all the
governmental departments were clos
ed for the day and the supreme court
! of the United States, headed by a for
mer Confederate soldier, Chief Justice
| White, held no session. Flags on all
government buildings throughout the
United States were at half mast as a
tribute TO- Lincoln's memory as were
they also on all forts and reservations,
naval stations and warshlps and upon
all American embassies, legations and
%consulates throughout the world. All
p~ostofices we're closed part Of the day.
The owners and captains of all Amer
can merchant vessels had been re-
quested to display the national en-
blem at half mast.

Here is a little device which you can
make at home by which the tiniest
tack can be held without possibility Of
injury to the fingers. Take a strip of
tin about three-quarters Of an inch
wide and about six or v inches
long. Shape it with a small slot in one
end. Then double 1t, bending at the mid
die. When ready to insert the nail, put
it into the slot, which will hold it by
its head. This gives a kind Of handle by
means of which you a hold the nail
perfectly upright while you hit it with
the hammer. OF course the holder
must be pulled away be1Dre the nail
or tack has gone all the way into the

once and l am sure you will feel amply
repaid for your trouble in making it,

the proper level for disposal. =.
The commissioners have taken he
matter under consideration and nave
made no decision as yet. 1t is under

Capable Of Sustaining Life, at

According to some reports great IN.

unusual sources is being employed,

many articles good for human food
and wholesome food at that, which un.
der ordinary conditions are not drawn
upon at all. There are the angle worm,
the grasshopper and fully a score of
PLANTS not ordinarily used as food
which, properly prepared, constitute
nourishing foods. 1t is perhaps only
the most desperate and resolute sort
Of appetite that would stand for the
earth worm, but they have been eaten
even by highly civilized people and
when properly prepared are said to be
not SO bad. Why should we be squeam.

AS to grasshoppers they were an an
cient delicacy and are yet so regarded
by many races who know what's what
In the way of good things to eat. All
the grasses that r eaten by animals
havO nourishing juices. Glover and
green timothy possess a higher food
quality than cabbage or potatoes.
Boiled to tenderness they would pre-
vent starvation. There have been
famine periods when human beings
have been obliged to eat field grasses
