Fighting tuberculosis.
{ Bennington Banncr.)

In every town in Vermont except
some Of the very smallest there are
asses Of tuberculosis which are furnish
ing centers of contagion. The state
board of health estimates that there
are somewhere in the neighborhood Of
300 cases in the state, of whom only
Il few are in the sanitarium at Pitts
ford or in other sanitOria within or with
out the state. An arrangement has re-
Gently been made by the governor
whereby cases which cannot be sent to
Pittsford may 80 to the Hampshire
county sanitarium at Haydenvillc,
Mass. and the expense will be paid by
the state provided the patient is unable
to boar.othe burden Under. this. pro,
vision application should be made to
the governor S secretary, Benjamin
Gates, Esq, at Montpelier, who will
inform the applicant as to the steps to
De taken. The fact remains, however,
that upwards of 5000 cases of tubercu-
losis in the state are being cared for in
private homes and it can be done there
with reasonable degree of safety and
success provided the rules of proper
sanitation are carefully and persistent
ly observed, The danger is from a few
patients who will not take the proper
precautions and 90 about spreading the
disease by their own carelessness
There are also some families where tu-
bcrculo patients are cared for and Civ
on all that love and duty will permit,
but proper care is not taken to keep
other members of the family from con
tagion. These two classes of cases fur
nish the tuberculosis problem of the
state of Vermont. The disease is be-
ing gradually conquered in all civilized
countries, but much more remains to be
done and the state of Vermont should
not be behind the other states for Yer
mont is one of the states where the
problem is serious. The legislature is
to meet in January and the members
elect should be preparing themselves
to act with intelligence onJthis issue.

To Abolish Gretna Green.
(Rutland Herald.)

1t seems to the Herald that the good
people Of Bellows Falls are losing a
lot of sleep over a very simple matter
when they undertake to make legis
lative issue out of the reputation
which their town has gained as the
Gretna Green of Vermont.
The fact that, out of 1873 marriages
performed since January, 700 have
been of couples outside the state,
seems to be the basic cause for the az
itation. What of it? Outside of the
scmi-humorous comment of the news
-apers, what harm is done, provided
always that the parties are of mature
age?
If a Vermont town were becoming
the Mecca of divorce industry, there
would be cause for protest, but who
will 90 so far as to make it more diff
fcult for young people, resolved ON
marriage, to accomplish that RESULT
In fact, a very sensible priest has
pointed out the remedy, so far as the
clergy is concerned. when he refuses
to marry such couples without certif
Gates from their parish priest. The
clergymcn have it largely in their own
hands, unless they are overpowered by
the magnitude of their fees, which is
not likely.
With large amount of extremely
important legislation coming before
the general assembly, it would not be
amiss to urge, most earnestly, that the
state of Vermont should not be asked
to legislate for the benefit of Bellows
Falls.

The End of the Mix War.
lNIanchester Union.l

The strife over milk prices between
the Boston contractors and the New
England MILK Producers association is
undoubtedly brought to its close by the
vote of the directors of the association
to recommend to the dairymen that they
accept the prices offered by five Boston
firms and resume shipment of milk. The
prices virtually meet the demands of
the producers, the only difference be-
inc one of delivery details in Boston.
The estimate of Richard Pattee Of La
coma, secretary Of the New England
Milk Producers association that the
producers will receive about 100000
molc for their milk this winter than
tLcy received a year ago, suggests the
wisdom of the directors recommended
ton.
There can be no manner Of question
That this victory Of the milk producers
has been won by organization. The
contractors realize this; the public real
ICES it, and the realization ON the part
of the producers themselves is illus
trated in the vote Of the Directors to
call conference of all the dairy inter
csts of New England at Springfield,
Massachusetts, November 2S, for the
purpose of forming a greater New Eng
land milk organization to include all
farmers producing milk for New Eng
land markets. The power of the organ
ization has been clearly demonstrated
in this milk war, and it is the evident
determination Of the New England Milk
Producers association to enhance that
power to the full.
It may be n long time ere another
serious dispute over milk prices shall
a1ise--or it may not. In any event,
the farmers are manifesting the spirit
Of preparedness, and it can hardly
fail to occur to them that organiza-
ton, so effective in this instance, is
potentially as eliectual in other matters
pertaining to agricultural interests, as
in the dairy industry. Organization,
IN these days, is the secret of success
in every human activity--politica
religious, industrial and all. 1t is well
that the farmers of New England have
convinced themselves of its efficacy.

q LIGHT PROBLEM SOLVED.
Town Meeting Votes to Accept Propo
sition of Greenfield Company.

sition of Greenfield Company.
A new proposition by the Greenfield
Electric Light & Power company was
accepted in the special town meeting
Monday night, and the vexatious cleo
trio lighting problem seems now to have
been solved. The special meeting was
held in the town hall and about lot
voters were present. 1t was expected
that there would be some verbal fire
works, but nothing of the kind de
eeloped and everything was calm.
Charles L. Robbins was moderator
i. G. Field, chairman of the electric
lighting committee, reported that the
Greenfield company had offered to fur
nish current at $l5 a light per year,
reduction of $120 light from last
year s offer. 1t was voted to appropri-
ate $4,000 and the committee was au'
thorized to make a contract for any
sum up to that amount for Mortified
and Northfeld Farms, the committee
TO determine the term of years.
Mortified has 122 lights, which will
cost $3.50, and the company asks $4OO
for the service at Mortified Farms, SO
the appropriation will cover all require.
ments.
The meeting appropriated $4,000 for
repairing Benefits Meadow bridge
across the Connecticut river. Prof. F
l.. Duley read a financial report of
the school committee and asked for an
appropriation of $500, which was
made. An appropriation of $75 was
made for lighting the Mortified Farms
halb as required by the state police.
