MARBLE MILL BURNS.

The palace" mill of the Vermont
Marble Co. at West Rutland, one of
the oldest of the many structures OPP
Grated by the concern, was Quilted by
fire Friday with loss of $4,000. The
marble walls were left standing but
all of the interior woodwork was
consumed, the roof fell in and much
valuable machinery and stock were
ruined. The fire started near some of
the machinery, probably from a hot box.
Some new apparatus was installed
Thursday and it is believed that the
blaze had its inception in this. In the
oil soaked timbers the fire spread with
great rapidity and by the time the
volunteer hose companies arrived the
whole interior was in flames.
The burned mill was short distance
east of the office. 1t was erected
in the seventies by the late Charles
Sheldon and for many years was one
of the largest mills operated by the
company. Lately it had contained q
gangs and all were in operation wher
the fire broke out. Some of the block:
of marble which were being sawed
were of great value but are rendered
useless by subsection to heat and smoke
The machinery is reduced to mass Of
Junk.

HEALTH MAIN QUALITY
SAYS BERNICE TABOR
California Beauty with AL Reeves Show
Gives Business Talk.

Miss BernIce Tabor, the California
Beauty with the Al Reeves Beauty
Show, mentions three things which de-
termine a girls ability to make money
in the business world. The first and
foundation OF the three Is health. The
second is training, which is positively
essential to obtaining any kind of a
salary in the modern business world,
and the third is spirit-the interest
feigned or genuine, which a girl puts
into her work.
Health lies at the bottom OF all
three, and the amount of money de-
pendent upon her physical strength.
The girl who is always sitting down
20 rest cannot hold her position very
long as saleswoman in a store. The
girl who is continually having head
aches will not be retained many months
as typewriter or bookkeeper, and that
girl has a small chance of earning any
kind OF a salary who spends a month
or two every year in a sick bed.
So, whatever it may be at the be-
ginning. the question. Of salary re-
solves Itself finally and often very
quickly, into a question of red cor
puscles. A girl may have an ambition
which leads her into the highest field
OF active life. She may have mind
capable Of the most clever inventions.
or she may have talent which falls
barely short of genius, and If she has
not the red blood corpuscles and en-
durance to Withstand the round OF
daily difficulties, her other qualifca-
tions will count for nothing and she
will have to drop out of the race
entirely, or content herself with a bare
living wage.

particular instruments and particular
compositions have their distinctive tastes:
that the oboe is acid, acrid, like a lemon

dirge which he discovered and brought

expect rendition OF this ancient classic
at the big ceremonial Of the shrine in

Several new members who are finished
musicians have been added to the band,
and the pleasing commendation of the

added to the enthusiasm of the members

The long promised presentation Of CIV
ilization' is definitely announced for the
week of October % at Moores Strand
Theater. This wonderfully vivid photo
play, presented under the direction of
Thomas Ince. has been everywhere hailed
by critics as the last work in motion
pictures. Many wonderful dramatic scenes
and touches have their appropriate places
in the film, notably the sinking of the
ocean liner by a submarine, vivid cpl
sodes in the underground trenches and
the floundering OF a torpedo boat de-
stroyer. Over a year was taken to COM
plete the picture and upwards OF a, 900
people and 1900 horses appear in its va
rious scenes. An augmented orchestra
will interpret Civilization" and an elab-
crate prologue will add a realistic at
mosphere to the film play.
