FOR BETTER HEALTH IN VERMONT
The Vermont state board OF health il
showing commendable zeal In wiping out
disease in the state, and not the least
important phase OF that zeal is the eff
fort to acquaint the general public con-
corning the more common diseases and
the means to prevent them. To set this
information before the public in a con
vincing manner, the state board has en-
listed the services Of DR.. s. Dana Hub
bard, a well known health expert Of the
New York health bureau, and an timer
airy of the larger communities In the
state has been prepared for DR.. Hubbard.
Barre is, of course, included on the ply
sician's itinerary; and DR.. Hubbard viii
speak at the Barre opera house on the
evening of Thursday, Feb, 10. The lee
ture is to be accompanied by stereopti-
con views which reveal the conditions

The lecture is to be free to the public
and all are cordially invited to attend,
except that children must be accompon-
led by adults DR.. Hubbard is TO speak

Sta tehood Anniversaries.

In the centennial celebra ton of four
of the six states which were admitted
to the United States between the years
1916 and 1921 inclusive, Massachusetts,
and all New England have more than
a neighborly interest. Indiana became
state in 1916, Mississippi in 1917, Hi
nois in 1878, Alabama in 1919, Maine in
1920, and Missouri in 1921. IL was the
long struggle for the admission of Mis-
souri, which brought about the state.
hood of Maine, for 1t was necessary to
create a northern state in order to pre-
serve the balance of power in the slav-
cry struggle.
Massachusetts, and Connecticut in 1855
gave up their rights in the Illinois coun-
try so that it became part OF the north
west territory in 1857. After the little
Black Hawk war, in which Abraham
Lincoln got his amusing military expert
ence, immigrants poured into Illinois
from all over New England. The anti.
slavery martyr of 1897, Elijah p. Love-
JOY, was Maine man and a graduate
of Waterville college and his brother,
the abolition orator, was graduate OF
Bowdoin.
Very properly three OF these states
at least have plans well under way for
suitable observance of those anniversa-
ries. Indiana this summer will have ex.
ercises at indianapolis and at Vincennes,
the ancient capital; Illinois in 1918 will
hold series Of celebrations at Spring
field. Nandalia and Chicago; and word
comes now from st. Louis that an intel
ligent commemoration viii be planned
by a large historical association.-Bos |

Force of the Imagination.

There is a story of man who was
tied up in dark room and informed
that he was to be put to death by
bleeding. His tormentors made a
small incision in his neck and arranged
for stream of ,lukewarm wafer to
trickle down his back for fifteen min
utes. At the end Of fifteen minutes the
man died Of exhaustion. He had not
lost drop of blood, but he thought he

The New York police department is a
collection OF mysterious fellows. When
special police squads were placed on the
bridges over the East river, at the en-
frances to the subway, in the railroad
stations, in fact, at all prominent places,
the heads of the police department looked
blankly at their questioners and said
that the mobilization was intended to
pick up stray burglars. Meanwhile about
everybody else in the city knew the I'M
usual activity was intended to prevent
bomb activity on the part of -Hyphens.'

There may be deep significance in the
reported efforts of Germany to conclude
separate peace with various members OF
the entente alliance; and the significance
may lie, not so much in an effort to
weaken the solidity of Germany's en-
emies as in tacit admission that Ger
many is becoming willing to conclude the
war with all her enemies and is thus
seeking to find an entering wedge.

It is a matter for congratulation to
Bennington people that their town Is
showing considerable increase in size Of
its checklist because the increase means,
almost certainly, an enlargement Of the
population. When the last federal cen
sus was taken, Bennington's population
was s.69S, and the checklist was con
siderably smaller than at the present
time. 1t would not be surprising, there
fore, II Bennington should be able to
show a population around 10000 at the
present time. Surely the town main
tains it, position as the fourth in size in
the state.

Herr Zimmerman of Germany did his
best to befuddle the discussion between
his country and the United States; per-
haps also to give a false impression Of
the position of the United States to the
people of Germany. We have in mind a

few months ago took corresponding
duty upon himself in placing the United
States in a wrong light before the people
of Germany, besides mixing up the dis

How Yeast Makes Bread Rise.

In the dough from which bread is
made there is a lot of sugar, which
contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
1t is necessary to ferment this sugar to
make bread edible, and yeast is used
because it has the power to DO this. Ii
Is made from a plant having this quail
ity. Fermenting sugar is equivalent TO
cunning it, and there are two results.

into the air The part that cannot es-
cape causes the dough to rise and
makes the bread light. The holes in

the bubbles is to lift the body Of dough
SO that the heat can penetrate readily
and bake it properly.
