THE WONDERFUL TONIC
OF THE OUTDOORS

There 10 wonderful value in fresh,

when accompanied by sunlight Lgnt
and air are natures most powerful
tonics. There is marvellous power In
sunlight This 10 Clearly seen In vege-
tation. A scrawny plant. struggling
for existence IN dark corner OF the
house, and having only two or three
little green leaves on 1t. when taken
out into the light and air. becomes
wonderfully transformed in a few
days. II puts forth buds and leaves,
and the blossoms soon follow.
The same thing is true of human
beings. They. as we'll as plants. are
vital organisms. like plants requiring
sunlight and air. Thousands OF people
are losing health and growing thin
and sickly because they live indoors
Cold, fresh air has special value be-
cause 1t stimulates the organs and all
the functions OF the body; 1t Quickens
the heart TO the greatest activity, ana
increases the number of red corpuscies
in the blood. Cold air also contains
more oxygen TO the cubic inch than
does warm air The volume or the
air is reduced one-five-hundredth part
for each degree OF reduction in tenn
perature. Consider the difference be-
tween a very hot summer day, with a
temperature of 100 degrees. and a
winter day at zero--a temperature diff
ference of 1000 degrees. The air has
been reduced one-fifth of Its volume.
and In four breaths OF cold one gets as
much oxygen as he would In five
Sreaths of warm summer air. Hence
the body may take in one-fifth mvre
oxygen In cold weather than in warm
weather. This increased amount of
oxygen taken into the body is a matter
~ arnln !, "a
why one feels better in cold air. A
brisk walk on cold, crisp winter
morning creates a splendid appetite
for breakfast, for the same reason
that the fire burns brighter on a cold
winter night When the fire burns
with particularly bright glow. people
are wont to say. Winter 10 coming;
see how bright the fire burns This
Is due to the increased amount of
oxygen In the air. The fire burns
brighter and faster because 1t has one
fifth more fuel supplied.
So with the body--vital fires burn
brighter in cold weather. The whole
tide of life moves with greater actis-
ity. The process OF digestion Is quick
ened because the process of oxidation
is Increased. Also the oxygen we
breathe in cold air improves the
function Of the liver, so that 1t does

pend for their activity upon oxygen.
In an excess of carbonic acid gas the
muscles are asphyxiated. and so one
feels depressed In warm weather and
in over-heated. unventilated rooms.
One does not get out OF breath so
easily in cold air as in warm. The
wood chopper can swing his ak with
more energy on a cold day. Cold
air aids In the elimination of the pol
sonous matters which are all the time
forming within the body. When oxy-
gen Is not plentiful enough to make
the vital fires burn sufficiently to con-
sumo the fuel and waste Of the body.
then much waste material is left be-
hind In the form of imperfcctly
burned substances. which may be call
ed the cinders of the body. II.

the caves twenty feet, with a quarter
pitch gable roof. If the building is
more than three sections, or forty
eight feet, long. there should DO hay

calculated, has capacity Of about
twenty tons Of average hay, the exact
capacity varying, Of course, with the
kind Of hay and its condition when

possible to put as much as twenty-five
tons into each section. In case the

that the materials In a three section

FOR THE SEWING ROOM.
Hints For Women Who Do Their Own
Family Sowing.

A chiffonier or bureau in the sewing
room will be found Indispensable. One
drawer Is used for the stock room, and
the small wares are kept therein; one
Is for patterns, one for pieces to use
for patching and mendlng and one for
clothing to be mended or fixed over.
An old iron incased in a two pound
sugar bag is just the thing to hold
your work while sewing. 1t takes the
place of the old fashioned bird that Is
seen sometimes.
If the pins are kept in deep saucer
one can pick them up or throw them
down easily when fitting a dress.
Take board of the desired length
and width and drive a number OF
nails through two inches apart. These
will hold the spools Of thread. The
numbers can be quickly seen and
there will be no tangling with the scis.

Cream jars are excellent for but

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER l, 1910.
A GOOD RECORD.

The Montpelier Argus of Thursday,
August "a, contains the following which
will be of much interest to Addison
County farmers
Representative A, w Foote of Corn
wall, who is here attending the special
session, has had to answer many ques-
tons by his brother members about the
new Patrons Cooperative Fire lnsur-
ance company started by him and other
Changers in Addison county year ago,
after authority was granted by special
act Of the legislature passed in the ses-
sion of 1915 Mr., Foote being the father
of the measure. Mr.. Foote is secretary
of the company which he says has writ
ten S340, 600 worth of insurance and if
their present luck continues they will
end the year September ! with fire
loss of only 500, a record that would
be hard to duplicate, He told fellow
members that he does not expect the
company will be able to maintain this
record in the future but they are select
ing their risks and advancing carefully
and conservatively and hope to have
favorable experience on that account.
Only farm property and buildings occu-
pied by the insured are taken for risks.
No property is insured where the barns
are attached to the house. The first
premium paid is the same as most of
the other companies and then they pay
on losses according to their insurance.
On account of the apparent favorable
first years experience of the company
many of Mr.. Foote'S associates were
anxious to know how the business is con-
Quoted. The Insurance is placed through
masters Of the Oranges and Grange
members who act as the agents.

MARBLE QUARRY REOPENED.

MARBLE QUARRY REOPENED.
After being in idleness for % years,
the marble quarrying property in Bran
don now owned by the Meadowbrook
Marble Co., is again to be put in opera
tlon, according to Charles M. Herman of
Rutland, who is superintendent of this
plant as well as the Middlebury Marble
Co. in the east part of the town.
Electricity was turned on Wednesday in
Meadowbrook powerhouse by the
Hortonia Power Co. which is to furnish
power for the enterprise. The Brandon
concern has erected a structure 60 by 40
feet in size to be used for repair shop,
a powerhouse and for storage. In the
near future there will be put up a
six-gang mill which will be on a
railroad siding $50 feet long, which is
another part Of the recent development
of the property.
At present about 20 men will be en-
ployed but in the near future this force
will probably be doubled. The concern
will handle rough blocks and sawed
slabs.
The Brandon quarry was first opened
by Davidson Bros. of Chicago. Many
years ago it ceased to be operated and
went into the hands of Robert Curran,
of whom Boston capitalists bought it.
The Meadowbrook Marble Co. was then
organized with A. F. Upper of Boston
as president and F. R. Switzer of

MILITIA AWAITS ORDERS.

The Vermont militia, which, with
those of Ohio and Kentucky, expects,
according to dispatch from Washing
ton, to receive an order this week to
break camp and 90 to the Mexican Dor
der, had not received the order up to Il
late hour Tuesday night. Washington
dispatches couple of weeks ago an
nounced that the war department had
ordered out the remaining militia, but
the order never reached Adjutant- Gen
eral Iillotson at the mobilization camp,
Fort Ethan Allen.
An officer at the camp said Tuesday
that departure would be delayed, even
though the order were at hand, because
the men still lacked part of their equip
ment and the necessary rations for the
trip. The war department announced
several weeks ago that on no account
would militia of any State be allowed to
entrain for the border until their equip
ment was complete,
There are now about 300 men at the
camp, and recruits are drifting in slow
ly every week One of the men said
the most interesting thing to the men
just now was pay. He said they expect
ed to get back pay from the govern
ment on Friday. There was nothing
certain about it, but that was the talk
in camp.
