TIRED ALL The TIME

It is good to feel tired sometimes, when
you have exercised sufficiently to cause q
healthful feeling of fatigue.
But, you should be refreshed by rest.
A tired feeling that does not disappear
even after a nights sleep is abnormal.
1t means that you are anemic or debili-
tated, that you need a tonic to build you
up and fortify your system against such
a condition. II you do not you are in
viting disease because thin blood means
that the body's defense against the in
roads OF disease is lowered.
Thin blood is largely the sufferer s own
fault. IL results from neglect, because
the blood can be built up. DR.. Williams

blood needs to make it rich and red and

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
AS to license Commissioner.

Editor, Barre Times: Some of the
ministers of our city have been very busy
the past few days in circulating petit
ton, trying TO use their influence to get
certain individuals appointed as license
commissioners. Believing that the cler-
gymen were opposed to license, it is up
to them to leave this matter in the hands
Of those who know better how to handle
the situation, knowing that if the grant
ing of licenses is left in the hands Of
those whom the ministers can dictate to,
our license law win be made just as OBJ
noxious as it is possible to make it,
We do not want repetition of eight
years ago, when the licenses were all or
nearly all in one section of the city. The
majority OF our citizens voted in favor
of license. The clergymen, believe, voted
with the minority. Therefore, let the
ajority rule.
And, in the meantime, the clergymen
could use their time to better advantage
by looking after the spiritual welfare OF
their focks.
A believer in fair play.

Snowdrifts stopped the fire department
apparatus at Quincy, Mass, last Friday
nght-even the horse drawn apparatus
till the liremen manned the wheels and
boosted along. No satisfactory eombina-
ton has been devised which will beat
the snow once the snow gets TO a certain
depth and firemen and property owners
alike breathe easier when the roads get
settled to passable degree. However,
there always is solution Of the perplex-
ity of the greatest drifts, and that is to
load the hose into pung and vault the
drifts to the scene of the fire. Every
fire department would find it advantage
Gus to have such a rig available for an
emergency

emergency.

If, as they profess, the proponents OF
the two measures now before Congress
for the strengthening Of the United
States army defenses differ only in the
courses to be pursued, let them compro-
mise and put through a bill which would
embody features in each act. There
seems to be no doubt whatever that Con
gress is practically of one mind in think
ing that the United States is miserably
prepared even for peace. Such being
the case it ought not to be possible for
selfish differences to destroy needed leg
islation, nor even to postpone the time
when the strengthening of the army can
be started. If they be real patriots, let
them drop their party differences and
their selfish ideas. The country really
needs strengthening and needs it now.

| splendid scenery of the nation is by no
means limited to these public areas. But
the national parks are for the time up
permost in mind because we have before
us a copy of the report issued by the de-
partment of the interior and entitled
"Glimpses of Our National Parks" The
information therein contained is concise
and easily read by anyone with an hour
or so to spare. There are IA of these
national parks, of which eight are called
of the first order of size and scenic mag
nificence. All the parks are located in
the far West or the Middle West, Cali
fornia and Colorado being the most fla
vored states. Each of the eight parks,
we are informed has an individuality of
its own, being different from all the
others Therefore, were a sight seer
planning to visit all Of the eight in one
season he would not be bored by repeti-
ton of scenes but would find something
entirely changed as he went from one
to another of the parks. For instance,
he would find at Mount Rainier in the
state of Washington an extinct volcano
down the sides of which flow 2S glaciers;
he would find in the Yosemite park, be-
sides the famous valley of that name and
its lofty waterfalls a river which spouts
wheels of water 80 or more feet in the
air; he would find in the Sequoia park
in California thousands of great sequoia
trees more than 10 feet in diameter and
some of them measuring SO feet through
from side to side; he would find in the
Yellowstone park in Wyoming strange
geysers and gorgeous canyon. And so
on through the list. Each has its spe-
cialty in addition to the more common
beauties of nature. One need not go to
Europe or to Asia twhen the war ends |
in order to relieve ones faded mind the
same thing can be accomplished right in
the United States. There would be con
slant delight at every turn. Incidental
". the money would be kept in the
United States, where it is earned and
where il belongs in large measure There
is something to think about in the docu-
ment just published by the department
Of the interior.
