Roosevelt Rebukes Bay State
Backers.

From many sources of which the news
columns of the Herald have borne evi
dence has come the information that the
action of Messrs. Gardner and Gushing
| in instituting movement for Colonel
Roose,elt's nomination, would not have
I his support. One of our Democratic con-
/ temporaries tainted those who, like the
Herald, said this, with the query: Why
does he not say so2 He can communicate
to the United States. Let him do so.
They Taught best who laugh last. Col.
Roosevelt has done exactly that, adj
dressing himself to the Massachusetts
situation in dispatch from Trinidad,
in which he says:
II am deeply sensible of the honor
conferred on me and of the good will
shown me by the gentlemen who have
announced themselves as delegates to
be elected in my interests in the Massa-
chusetts presidential primary. Nevertbe-
less must request, and l now do re.
quest and insist, that my name be not
brought into the Massachusetts primar-
les, and l emphatically decline to be a
candidate in the primaries of that or
any other state
He also declares that the delegates
should approach their task 'unhampered
by any pledge except to bring to its ac-
every ounce of courage and
intelligence and integrity they possess"
With no better Endorsement than this
could the unpledged candidates, in the
event of a contest, placard the billboards
of the state.
The situation has materially clarified.
If Gardner and Cushing continue in the
race, they will be doing so-beyond posi- /
bilty of ehallenges-for their own glory |
and TO secure for themselves aseendancy |
in state politics. We believe the voters /
are in no mood to crafty such an ambi- |
ton. They will not vote for a Roose-
welt state when he specifically requests
them not to do so. Our advice TO the I
Gardner group is gracefully to with
iraw from a contest, continuing in which /
would merely make them ridiculous

SEEK OIL NEAR WOOSTER, o.
U. S. Investigators Trying to Determine
If There is a Supply.

An examination of the Wooster, Ohio
oil and gas field was made by c. A. Bo-
nine, of the United States geological
survey, to determine, if possible, whether
there is a relation between local anti
clines and synelnes in the Clinton sand
and the presence of pools of oil and gas,
and, if not. to find what condition deter
mined the location of the pools. The gas
is found to occur along the crest and
sides of a sharply folded anticline pitch
ing to the southeast and is confined en-
tirely to the fold. Small quantities of
oil are found along the TANKS of the
antieline, and fairly large pool of oil
occurs close to it, southeast of the gas
fields.
The most promising area for gas wells
is along the supposed northwestward ex-
tension of the Wooster anticline, in sec
tons one and two. Plain township, but
il is clearly set forth by the survey that
cline is hypothetical and, even if it ex-
tends into this new territory, its exact
location can not now be determined. No
one should be encouraged to make such
a test unless he has the capital and can
afford to take what may be considered al
most even chances of success or failure.
The report on the anticline in the
Clinton sand near Wooster and their re-
lstion to the presence of oil and gas has
been published by the geological survey
a bulletin 62l-H, copy of which may
be- obtained free on application TO the

vERMoNTERS INVITED HOME.
10 Visit Vermont During Anniversary
Year 1916.

The Greater Vermont association is
sending to Vermonters in other states a
special invitation to visit Vermont dur
ing the anniversary year 1916, an invi-
tation in which Governor Gates joins in
behalf of the government and the people
Of the state. 1t is hoped that many
titizens will use these invitations in urg-
ing their relatives and friends to visit
Vermont this year. The invitation reads;
"17o1-1oi6."
Vermont invites all Vermonters in
pther states-the native born and the
children of the native born-to come
home during the year 1916, the I25th
anniversary of the joining of the union
by the first state and the most unique
state to be added to the original thirteen.
Every Vermonter should set foot upon
the sacred soil of the Green Mountain
state during this year, year which calls
forth pride in the past and boundless re-
solve for the future.
Governor Charles w. Gates says:
Nothing is more pleasing to me than the
idea of home coming, and in behalf of
the people of the state, ! join your as
sociation in extending a most hearty in
Fitation to all the native born and their
children, wherever they may be, to come
to us some time during the year 1916
"The Greater Vermont Association"
The following card is being sent to
organizations throughout Vermont:
Zone thousand nine hundred and six
teen, the l25th anniversary of the joining
pf the union by Vermont. is the year /
hnring which Vermonters in Vermont I
may well invite Nermonters in other /
states to visit the Green Mountain state |
pm special pilgrimage. We may thus es
tablish intimate relations which will /
mean more and more to Vermont dur
ing the coming years.
"Vermonters in other states should
know thoroughly the Vermont of the
present day, the Vermont of promise. As
loyal children of the state, they should
be in position to cooperate with lis in
fealizing the vision of the future which
Is awakening the idealism and arousing
the activity of all Vermonters.
"The Greater Vermont association
hopes that you will send these invita-
lions to your friends and relatives in !
bther states and join in mighty effort
to make the tide of travel of the chill !
bren of Vermont turn this year and
coming years toward the Green Mountain ,
state. n

UTILIZING MUNICIPAL WASTE
By Returning 1t to Soil in the Form Of
Fertilizer.

A survey of the nations resources il
fertilizer materials has drawn attention
to the large supply of these to be founc
in the accumulation of garbage in cities
This waste material contains nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash, which are
recognized as essential to the production
of large crops. Valuable as these ele
ments are to the farms of the country
the garbage in which they are found is
source of trouble and expense to the
cities. 1t seems, therefore, that this gar
bage can be disposed of most advantage
ously by returning it to the soil in the
form of fertilizer.
In cities of 100000 people or more the
reduction of garbage by methods which
furnish residue fit for fertilizer use
has proved to be a profitable municipal
enterprise, and in smaller communities
it might well be self-sustaining. Numer-
Gus analyses of raw garbage show that,
on the average, grease constitutes 30
per cent; and OF the fertilizer ingredients
potash, 0.3 per cent bone phosphate,
per cent; and nitrogen in the form of
ammonia, | per cent. On this basis the
value of a ton of raw garbage is about
So, the grease being worth S3 and the
fertilizer ingredients about 50.
Since the grease is OF more value than
the fertilizer, the reduction process is
primarily designed to recover the grease.
There are three principal methods of do
ing this. The garbage is cooked and
steamed and then pressed dry and de-
CREASED in gasoline. Or, the garbage Isl
dried directly in rotary hot air kilns and
then decreased in gasoline or it is dried
and DECREASED in one operation.
As raw garbage contains ~ per cent
water and 3.5 per cent grease, the yield
of the tankage residue or fertilizer
should be about rs per cent. Thus, four
tons of raw garbage should be made TO
yield one ton of dried tankage and Sl2
worth of grease. In the retail market |
The dried tankage sells for about $40
ton and at Wholesale for $3.50. There
has been no great fuctuation in these /
prices for some time. In actual prae-
ice. however, the percentage OF tankage /
obtained is not usually rs per cent.
At present. however, only six cities in
he United States operate their own re-
luction plants, and about 20 send their
yarbage to privately owned plants.
These produce in the course of year
10000 tons Of tankage, or fertilizer,
made from l045000 tons Of raw garbage.
f all of the 1919 cities in the United
states which have population of 10000
II over should adopt this method of gar
age disposal, the total yield should be
rom 637 800 tons to 937 800 tons of fer
ilizer per year. This would be worth
rom $4,7s0000 to S7000,000. Addition 4
] fertilizer material could also be OBJ
aimed in the cities from dead animals,
treet sweepings and stable manure. Ii
This subject, specialists in the Z. S. {
apartment of agriculture believe, merits ,
areful consideration, because IL will be :
advantage both to the American farm |
r and to the cities from which he OBJ /
aims his fertilizer. q

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required,

Many women suffer from form OF
Indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield TO ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar TO those of ordi-
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be kind Of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement Of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by a medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
a medicine did for Mrs. Williams:-

TAFT OPPOSED
TO BRANDEIS
Six Other Ex-Presidents of the American
Bar Against Lawyers
Confirmation.

Washington, March l5.-Former Pres.
ident Taft and six other former presi'
dents OF the American Bar association
yesterday protested to the judiciary sub
committee against the confirmation OF
Louis ID. Brandeis as member of the
supreme court.
The Others were Simeon Il. Baldwin,
Francis Rawie, Joseph IL. Choate, Elihu
Root, Moorefield Story and Peter w.
Meldrim. The first six sent a letter
stating that they "felt under the painful
duty to say to you that in their opinion,
taking into view the reputation, charac-
ter and professional career of Mr.. Louis
ID. Brandeis, he is not a fit person to
be a member of the supreme court of
the United States"
Mr.. Meldrim wrote from Savannah,
Ga:
MY reason for refusing TO approve
was that the reputation of Mr.. Brandeis
at his home bar marks him an unfit per-
son to be appointed"
Both letters were read to the commit
tee yesterday by Austen G. Fox, attor-
ney for the opposition to the confirma-
ton at the re-opening of public hearings.
Two Bostonians William T. Fitzger-
aid and Charles K. Smith--were ON hand
ready to testify regarding Mr.. Brandeis'
relations to the Old Dominion Copper
in which promoters were forced
by court decree to refund $2,000,000 to
the company.

ROMAN cHILDREN's CHRISTMAS
CUSTOM. @

Most popular on Christmas day in
Rome is the Church Of the Ara Coeli,
which the children Of Rome, for at
least one week in the year, regard
as their very own. In England, on
st. Nicholas day, boys used to mas
querade in pre-Reformation times as
bishops and canons in cathedral
choirs. Here in Rome in the TWEEN
tieth century boys and girls pretend
to be preachers. In the Ara Coeli
among the fiuted columns which have
come down to us from pagan days,
is reared a pulpit for the children in
sight of the ''presepe," or reproduction
of the cave of Bethlehem, arranged
in a distant chapel Mounting the
stairs in quick succession, the little
ones recite with surprising self-posses-
sion and perfectly natural poise, short
light of proud parents and admiring
friends. Occasionally two children
will appear in the pulpit at once and
sustain a dialogue which displays
their mastery of the catechism. Argu-
ments are illustrated by frequent
pointings to the jeweled Bambino, or
figure of the infant Saviour, far away
in the 'presepe," where the diamonds
on the little image glitter in the light
of hundred lamps. Great is the
crowd and boundless the joy of the
children, who on this day blow tin
trumpets and play quiet games among
the church pillars, unreproved by the
Brothers of st. Francis, who for six
centuries or so, have ministered in
this historic sanctuary.
