Nermont's population has increased in
seven years by S,S66 persons, the figures
in 1910 being 355,956 as against the esti-
mate of 364,322 on Jan. /, 1917. If the
estimate should prove to be approximate
" correct, Vermont would be satisfied
although the per cent OF gain is extreme
ly small. There are some influences at
work which have a tendency to reduce
Nermonts population and if the gain in
the industrial centers can more than off

and Springfield will have to do tremen-

estimates for Jan. |, 1917, figures on the
basis of the comparative standing be-
tween the census of 1900 and 1910 and
not from actual information.

about beer:
"Of all intoxicating drinks, 1t is the
most animalizing. 1t dulls the intel.
lectual and moral and feeds the sen.
sual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks, 1t qualities for deliberate
ard unprovoked crime. In this re-
spect 1t is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will COM
NIT murder only under the direct ex-
element OF liquor. beer drinker is
capable OF doing It in cold blood. Long
observation has assured us that a
large proportion of murders deliberate
ly planned and executed, without pas
sion or malice, with no other motive
than the acquisition of property or
money, often of trifling value, are per-
petrated by beer drinkers"

GOOD
ROADS
IMPROVE ROADS BY DRAINAGE
One Of the Most important Matters to
Be Considered In Construction
Of Public Highways.
CBy E. L. GATES, Illlnois.)

CBy e. l.. GATES, 1llinois)
When 1t comes to building roads
there are a good many problems to
4folve and not easy ones at that. Rid.
SIng along in an auto it is easy enough
to say when you strike a smooth
stretch, this is fine," and turn on a
mudhole and ruts you may get your
foot on the wrong pedal and the road
commission catches II.
It takes labor time, good material
and money to have good roads. Every
one wants the roads, so we will all
have to work and spend some of our
time and money and boost for better
roads.
One of the things most needed is
better drainage for the roads as well
as for the farms and at this time we
will conflne this article to the subject
of drainage.
Drainage is the most important
matter to be considered in the con-
struction of roads. Drainage alone
will often change a bad road into a
good one while the best stone road
may be destroyed from lack of prop
er drainage.
There are three systems OF drainage
that we can use to advantage, and
these are undertakings, side bitches
and surface drainage.
Where water stands on road I'M
derdrainage without any grading is
better than grading without under.
drainage. Undertakings is not to re-
move simply the surface water but its
greatest help is to lower the water lev.
ell in the soil.
The action of the sun and wind will
finally dry the surface of the road but
IL the foundation Is wet and soft the
wheels will wear ruts and these get
filled with water during the first rains
and the road becomes a sticky mass
An undrained soil is poor founda
tion upon which to build roads as well
as anything else. When frost is leav.
ing the ground the thawing is quite
as much from the bottom as from the
top. II undertakings is provided the
water is Immediately removed.
The best and cheapest method to
secure undertakings is to lay line
of farm drain tile on one or both sides
OF the road. The new road law gives
the highway commissioners power to
contract with adjoining property own
ers to lay larger tile than is necessary
to drain the road and to permit the
contracting parties to drain their
lands. This helps the roads and at
the same time is a great benefit to
the adjoining land.
Side bitches are necessary to all
roads but no road can be maintained
with the ditch holding the water un.

article is by Prof Max Gruber OF the.

We quote:
This is no time for tho use of alco-
hol. Not only Is the guzzling of all
alcoholic drinks TO be stopped, but
the use OF even small amounts is, as a.
rule, an evil.
1T is scientifically established that
even small amounts OF alcohol weaken
and paralyze our powers OF observa-
ton, memory and judgment, the COM
mand OF our intellect. our Wills and
our reason. our impulses, our brains,
our body; cut down the gains from
exercise, the endurance of hardships..

WHY DRINKERS ARE FAT.

The labor leaders are beginning 10
teach through the pages of their jour
nails the nature and effects of alcohol
upon the physical organism. The fol-
lowing is from the United Mine Work
ers' Journal:
Not all hard drinkers are fat, but
the tendency of alcoholics to obesity
is too marked to escape notice. A.
well-known doctor says IL is because
the alcohol usurps the function of tho
fat, which accumulates. This is how
he explains 1t:
1T is noticeable that those addicted
to the use of alcoholic beverages often
reveal tendency to corpulence which.
Is proportionate to their use OF the
drug. The fairness Is not sign of
health. II is not even an indication
that alcohol is harmless. II is merely
the result of the complete oxidation
of the substance OF alcohol by tho
human body The body will oxidize a
two-ounce quantity of alcohol in "a
hours, and will do II 80 completely
that no trace OF alcohol can be found
In any excretory substance This sim
ply means that the unnatural heat pro-
duced in the body by the presence OF
the stimulant answers, for the time
being at least, for what would other
wise be produced by the expenditure
of fats and carbohydrates. These lat
ter are the fuel stored up by the body
and normally burned up I'm the pro.
ductlon of necessary bodily heat
though not a natural heat-and this
expenditure Is avoided. The fat is
therefore stored up in the body UNI
used, and corpulence is the necessary
result This, of course, is not a nor
NAL condition nor q proper process.
II becomes more unnatural with In
creasing use of alcohol
