STATE NEWS NOTES.
Club for Rutland Men.

Fhe trustees of the Rutland Pvth-
ian association, if their unanimous
recommendation is approved by the or
ganization, viii open the splendid club
house and ample grounds on Center
street IN Rutland to the uses of the
men in good standing in the commu-
nifty even If they are not members of
the fraternity. Considerable pressure
has been brought to bear upon the as
ISOLATION by number of leading cit
liens to formulate some plan by which
this might be accomplished
This valuable property, centrally To-
Gated, probably the most elaborate
club house in the state, was first OF
fered TO the citizens of Rutland as q
business men s club, but no organiza-
tion was formed to take hold of the
project and push it through. Enter
prising spirits connected with the
Pythian order then took 1t up and
consummated the Observation-Disclosures
the most remarkable real estate trans
fer in the history of Rutland. The
property, which cost first and last over
$4,000, became the property of the
Pythian association for $4,000 The
association which owns it has fnanc-
ed it easily and there is today but
an insignificant debt upon it. The or
ganization as it is now is ii no need
of any increase in size or resources to
sustain it handsomely.
It has been felt, however, by some
of those most deeply interested in the
property, as well as in the city at
large that some way should be devised
TO open this commodious and hand
somely equipped plant so as TO make OF
it practically a business men $ club
house, as well as the home of the
Pythian lodge. As stated, this plan
seems now likely to materialize.

THE FINANCIER S WAY.

They are investigating the financing
of the Interborough Traction Co. s sub
way construction. In connection there
with some interesting developments are
being brought to light. As it is New
York city matter the rest of the coun-
try is not paying a great deal of at
tention to it. The rest of the country is
too busy with other matters to figure
out or even follow the processes by
which the bankers were permitted to
milk the Interborough. But a single
item of the information brought out by
the investigation is interesting.
The Morgan Co. handled the Inter
borough s bond issues. Instead of these
bonds being sold as the money was
needed. they were sold in Jumps, the
receipts being retained on deposit in
the Morgan bank to the Interborough S
credit, , 12 per cent interest being
paid thereon. The Interborough was
meanwhile paying interest on the
bonds at the rate of per cent.
In other words the Interborough has
been paying , 1-2 per cent for the priv
ilege of having on deposit in the Nor
gan Office money for which it had no
immediate use but which the Morgans,
of course, knew how to use to their
own profit, while it was still there; in
stead of retaining the bonds in the In
terborough s treasury, until such time
as they were needed, without paying
any interest at all.
Last Saturday the Interborough 5 idle
balance on the Morgan 5 books was
$5Q 100000
Yet there are still people who won
der how it is possible for such colossal
fortunes to be made as some of our cap
tains of finance get together. Actually
the wonder would seem to be that they
/ do not own the earth.

Uniform Town Accounting.

bookkeeping recommended by the

IN those towns where everybody s

public business is looked upon as more

anyone responsible and little desire
even to know how the public funds
are handled, the old system, which
passeth all understanding, will be held
to. When the list of towns showing

published, there viii be offered an ex-
cellent standard by which one may
judge which are and which are not the

RECIPE To CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Plmples are Impurities Seeking an
Outlet Through Skin Pores.

Plmples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bow
els and then absorbed into the blood
through the very duets which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine.
but IN many instances the bowels ere
ate more toxins and impurities than
the kidneys can eliminate, then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purltles which often break out all
over the skin in the form of pimples
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
lty, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a teaspoonfu1 in a glass of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels. 1t
also stimulates the kidneys to normal
activity, thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples.
,Iad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent drink which usually makes PIN
pies disappear; cleanses the blood and

Barre and Rutland as municipalities
have recently negotiated large Temporal
ny loans at three per cent interest. This
shows that money is plentiful but the
Rutland News points out that if the
condition continues it viii be pretty
difficult for the Vermont savings banks
and trust companies to continue to
pay four per cent interest to depositors
in addition to seven-tenths of one per
cent in taxation to the state, for a
loan at three per cent by one of these
institutions would mean dead loss of
over two per cent per year on the mon
ey involved. There are, however, some
Vermont savings banks which not only
pay four per cent, but which are in
creasing their SURPRISES to a point
where it may soon be necessary for
them to declare a special dividend

Guilty by a depressed sensation in
the stomach, similar to the sensation

off this sensation, the automobile

IN numerous unexpected fatalities and
sending hundreds of intrepid skidders

skidding is to allow the machine to

Congressman Frank L. Greene is not
n candidate for election as delegate TO
the Republican national convention. He
says that while he recognizes the fact
that there may sometimes be occasions
when it would be advisable to take
some member of the delegation at
Washington who is particularly fitted
for such service, it would still be a
wise general policy for the state to
make a systematic business of making
up such delegations from men other
than those representing Vermont in
congress. Accepting Mr.. Greene s po-
sition as correct we would suggest
Theodore n. Vail as chairman of the
Vermont delegation. Senator Dilling-
ham and Senator Page have both filed
that position, and they probably would
not be averse to having some other dis
tinguished Vermonter at the head of
the state S cohorts this year.
