AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Erwin Beds" Jan. 90.

An important event announced for the
Barre opera house ON Saturday, Jan. 20,
matinee and evening, will be the presen-
tation of Twin Beds rollicking farce
of life among the fiat dwellers, by Sails
bury Field and Margaret Mayo, author
of BABY Mine" which comes here direct
from record run Of an entire year in
New York City, where press and public
acclaim it as one OF the funniest the
American stage has ever known. Twin
Beds" is a veristic and ingratiating ex
position of the amazing and amusing adj
ventures of three married couples who
are neighbors in one of the fashionable
tall apartment buildings which abound
in certain sections of New York City.
In conformity with its title the scenes
of the play are laid in sleeping cham.
Der. The appearance there of an Ital-
ian tenor, in the bibulous misapprehen-
sion that it is his own instead of his
neighbours, provides the situation from
which a variety OF ludicrous complica-
tions result. Previously this tenor and
his wife and another newly married pair
have been neighbors in another apart
ment house. The tenor persists in fore
ing attentions upon the girlbride, whose
husband insists upon moving. So, also,
does the tenor's wife, and, of, course,
the two couples, unknown to each other,
move into the same building.-adv.

HOW TO HEAL
SKIN-DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and sim
liar itching, burning skin troubles.
AT any reliable druggists get jar of
resinoi ointment and cake of resinol
soap. These will not cost a bit more
than seventy-five cents. With the res
mol soap and warm water battle the af-
fected parts thoroughly, until they are
free from crusts and the skin is soft
ened. Dry very gently, spread on thin
layer Of the resinol ointment, and cover
with light bandage-if necessary to
protect the clothing. This should be
done twice day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stop with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.

1t is frequently said by those who favor the adop-
ton of statewide prohibition provided by the
Perry act to be submitted next March that this
measure merely extends to the whole state the
bcnefcence of o-license as it exists in towns
that 90 dry. The Perry act, are told, means the
thing would local option if every city and
town in Vermont, under the present system were
to vote at the annual March meeting.
This assumption is not correct, either in principle
fact. The Perry act is not fairly represented
when its sponsors claim it to be simply another
form of local option, and voters whatever their final
stand the question: should not be misled into this
opinion respecting it. The Perry act is in fact a
far stringent state prohbitory law than the
repealed in 1908. The promoters of it, instead
of framing of their own, adroitly took the
so-called Clement law and cut out the local option
feature entirely, which and is the basic principle
of the present liquor system of Vermont. This act
they would have Vermont adopt under the impress
sion that the good results flowing from the many
local decisions rendered annually against opening
saloons will be achieved for the state at large by
single verdict.
There can be no compromise between the two
principles of statewide prohibition and local option.
Any attempt to make it appear that the Perry act
merely makes Vermont go dry all over as it would
if every city and town in the state took independent
action that way is distinctly misleading And for
these reasons:
l. 1t is legislating away from each city and town
of the state the right, recognized by the present
law to decide whether it will have saloons will
not. This may be correct and proper, but it is not
local option any form of it. In fact, it is
square denial of that principle 1t is setting up the
right of of the towns to decide the question
of the saloons not only for themselves but for all
the towns.
2. 1t is putting away the annual submission of
the question to the people and setting up its stead

"Perry Act Jokers .
Under this Heading the Randolph Herald and News prints the
following editorial which should be read by
every voter in the State.

permanent no that cannot be changed by the peo-
pie until such time they, under the peculiar sys-
tenn of legislative representation that prevails in
Vermont, can oyerturn it-no easy thing, as the
experience of 1908 and long period of agitation
preceding it demonstrated.
3. The Perry act, though cleverly clothed in the
garb of Esau in the voice of Jacob, for these
reasons, among others:
a. 1t affords no legal way in which malt or spir
tuous liquors be procured for any purpose
whatsoever within the state of Vermont-excepting
hard cider by the barrel left in to catch the votes
of the farmers).
b. 1t not only withdraws from towns the right
to decide the question of Saloons but it wthdraws
from them the right to decide whether they will
have druggists licenses where liquor may be pro-
cured physicians prescription, according to
the act of 1912.
c. BY placing Vermont under prohibition it is
automatically putting it under the operation of the
Webb Kenyon federal law, which gives federal Off
cias authority to interfere with and stop the ship
ment of liquors into dry states placing upon con-
signees the burden of proving that liquors seized
are to be used for legitimate purposes.
d. While not denying that there are proper or
legitimate for liquor, it is affordng no source
whatsoever for their supply as the old prohbitory
law did through the town agency
Let one be deceived. If the voter-is absolutely
uneompromsing toward intoxicants in any form and
under any circumstances Except hard cider, he
should favor the Perry act. But should sup
port it under the deusion that he has merely assist
ed in spreading the no-lieense mantle the whole
of Vermont. If he does he will later learn his
mistake.
In our opinion citizen may honestly and consis-
tenty oppose the saloon the legazing of beverage
traffic anywhere in Vermont; he may prefer
statewide prohibition with provision for the sale of
alcoholics for necessary purposes to the present local
option system, without in either case feeling COM
PEELED to accept the Perry act test of his tenn
perance sentiment. In so far as this act pretends
to pose for what it is not shall try our best to
unmask it,
