The Unwritten Law.

randolph Herald and News.)
The mwritten law again triumphs
over the written code, this time at
Rutland, Vermont, where a husband
who slew his wife was acquitted last
week by sympathetic jury on the
ground of temporary insanity caused
by the wife, alleged unfaithfulness.
1t has become almost impossible in this
country to convict wife who kills
her husband or his supposed paramour
under such circumstances. Shrewd
criminals and shrewd lawyers lose no
opportunity to introduce alleged in
fidelity and resultant loss of reason on
the part of the aggrieved party as a
defence. One may well question how
much is real and how much feigned, and
i'll most cases there is measure of
doubt concerning the actual existence
of Illicit relations alleged. But despite
all this time and again killers are
brought to the bar and vindicated-

These are days of important changes
in big industries in Vermont A few
months ago the Fairbanks scale works,
which have really made st. Johnsbury,
passed to the control of Chicago CAPT
talists. Then the Howe Scale company
of Rutland was sold, the deal involving
100000 The question has naturally
arisen IN Rutland whether the big plant
might not be moving elsewhere even
tually, but assurance is given that it
will remain in the Marble city for
number of years at least, and ex- Gov.
Mead, who has been the head and front
of the concern for years, is to remain
with it three years. This week comes
the surprising announcement that the
Cooper Manufacturing company at
Bennington, with a capital stock of
half a million dollars, giving employ
ment to 700 hands, has been sold to a
western syndicate, known as the Black
Cat Textiles company, which has also
acquired in Kenosha, Wis, hosiery
concern with a capital of 100000 EN-
ploying ] 400 hands. 1t is to be hoped
that these changes will not affect the
industrial standing of the communities
where they have been the center of
business life, and that in their ABSORB
ton by bigger interests they will not
wholly lose their individuality. We pre-
sumo this latter wish is too much to
expect. Probably the personal element
will be removed in any case, and that
the concerns, instead of standing in
dependently, will simply become cogs
in q big wheel.

GIRLS! THICKEN AND
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
AND STOP DANDRUFF
Try this! Your hair gets wavy, glossy
and abundant at
once.

To be possessed of a head of heavy.
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy.
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
"a matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton s
Danderine now-all drug stores recon-
mend it-apply little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an ap-
pearance of abundance, freshness, fluff
ness and an incompatible gloss and lus
tire, and try as you will you cannot find
a trace of dandruff or falling hair; but
your real surprise will be after two
weeks use, when you will see new hair
fine and downy at frst-yes-but
really new sprouting out all over
your scalp. Danderine is, we believe.
the only sure hair grower, DESTROYER of
dandrutf and cure for itchy scalp and
1T never fails to stop falling hair at
once.
1T you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is moisten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in Just a
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.-Advt

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARkEN HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur makes
streaked, faded or gray hair dark
and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
lea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lus-
tire to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray Years ago the only way to get
TINS mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for ''Wyeth $ Sage and Sulphur
Compound You will get large bot
tie Of this old recipe improved by the
addition of other Ingredients for about
90 cents. Everybody uses this prepare
ton now, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as it
does 1t so naturally and evenly. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, thick and CLOS
sy and you look years younger. Wyeth s
sage and Sulphur Compound is de-
nghtful toilet requisite. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
Ventlon OF disease.-Advt.

One effect of the war is much pro-
longed-the return of gold to this
country from Europe. Doubtless this is
in way of balancing the vast quantity
Of goods which we are sending over.
Return must he made in some way. One
way has been by the sale of American
securities which have been sold as the
European owners found that they must
have the money. The inflow of gold, in
areasing the amount of loanable funds,
tends to reduce rates of interest by
throwing large sums seeking invest
ment on the market, thus stimulating
business enterprises by the lower cost
Of capital. Thus, in another way, the
United States makes money from the
European war. This does not prove
that we are Shyloeks or at all heartless,
but merely that we are taking advan-
tage of the inevitable money situation.

Never before has personality played
so important a part in presidential
election. If Mr., Wilson should win it
would be one of the greatest personal
victories in the history of American
politics, more notable in some respects
than the overwhelming victory of Col
onel Roosevelt when he first ran for
president On the other hand, a Re
publican victory will be notable chief
ly as party victory, as an evidence of
the strength of Republican principles
with the voters and of a reunited party.

THeMeddIer
If the coat fits you. put Il on"

II systematic effort could be made
to reclaim for fuel purposes the wood
that goes to waste annually in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Brattleboro the
amount thus made available would be
enough to put many families beyond
the necessity of worrying about the
steadily mounting price of coal. None
of the numerous tracts of woodland
hereabouts are given the attention they
would receive in most European coun,
tries. Instead of being inspected care
fully at regular intervals with a view to
removing all dead or mature trees they
are neglected until such time as it
seems advisable to cut them over. and
this process is usually attended nv
waste and carelessness. The woodman-
spare-thattree idea is a commendable
one but when it is carried to such a de-
gree as to prevent the cutting of trees
that ought to be cut it ceases TO be
worthy. One has only to stroll THROUGH
the woods on the Retreat estate to find
an illustration of The Meddler' s con
tentlon. Trees that have been blown
down, trees that have died on their
stumps and then fallen, may be seen
on all sides rapidly going into decay.
Not only would the woods themselves
be greatly improved if these trees
were removed annually but the fuel
they would make would be enough to
keep hundreds of people warm through
the winter. 1t is a mistaken idea of
forestry that leaves all the work to ma
ture.

The electric belt is a substitute for

From the earliest days of this re-

always applied by some faithful wife
who mixed the plaster with her own

have stout mustard plaster with long
teeth grasp hold of vital organ and

The statements of the terrible loss
es to the British and Russians come
largely from Berlin, and to offset these
statements London tells us how ter
ribly Germany has suffered in casual
ties to officers and men. Over France,
more than any of the other big nations,
the veil of impenetrability is cast.
Every newspaperman knows that but
little reliability is to be placed upon
the reports received, but everything is
so blocked and distorted by the censors
that the little news available is given
for what it is worth and the reader
must make his own choice. Almost
every day brings something from the
Overseas News Agency in Berlin. All
of the reports of this so-called agency
may be taken with grains of allow
ance, as the reports are inspired from
government sources. In addition to
lighting the greatest war of history the
nations engaged are keeping up a ire
mendous game of bluff for the effect
that the stories will have on the neu-
trail countries, particularly the United
States.
