The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-09-09

lack OF restoring sleep, over-stimulstion,
the high pressure of the race for power
wealth and position, plus physical neg
lect honor, position and power are just
being grasped when the apple OF accom-
plishment turns TO the ashes OF dissolu
ton. The brilliant mind becomes cloud
ed, the steady hand is no longer accurate,
the eye which once gazed fearlessly on
the whole world is dimmed and it is
not long before the final break up oc.
ours. All of this was entirely pre-
ventable.
Other things being equal il is the man
who leads the wR balanced life who
lasts the longest, whose work to the end
is uniformly the best, he who neither
over works nor over plays, neither over
eats, over drinks, nor over sleeps, he who
maintains a standard Of simple healthy
diet in moderation, who offsets mental
work with physical recreation, who IS
as honest with his own body as he is
with his own business. When success
comes to such a one his physical and
mental condition is such that he can en-
iov in peace Of mind and contentment
of body the fruits OF his labors.
The regulations of [. S. public health
service state: 1T is the duty of Off
GERS to maintain their physical as well
as their professional fitness. To this end
they shall be allowed time for reerea
ton and study whenever their official
duties will permit Ii the government
regards it as essential that its sanitary |
experts shall be safeguarded in this way, |
IS it not equally important to every
,itizen that he similarly maintain a high I
standard of physical integrity

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR.
Bertrand R. Demeritt of Duxbury Ex-
plains His Position.

As candidate for one of the county SEN
ators of Washington county and not
being personally known by all the voters,
| wish to state my political life and
platform
| represented the town of Duxbury i'll
the last legislature and took an active
part in legislation, and the experience
should and does fit a man for better work
in the Senate.
The last legislature passed some i'm.
pcrtant laws, some good and others not
az good as | view the work. | did not
believe in the primary law as fitting con
ditions in Vermont. However, the act
WAS passed and should now have a fair
trial We passed the workmen's eompen-
sation act ] believe the idea Is right,
but it needs some changes in favor of the
workman. A man working for a manu-
fact urer employing five or nine men needs
protection Just the same as though he
was working for a concern employing
eleven or a hundred men--a protection
which the present law does not give.
We passed a new school law. 1t was
claimed to help the smaller towns and
rural schools II must do this or be
changed So it will.
We must never forget that Vermont is
a rural state and her laws must conform
to this condition
We passed taxation law in which l
was greatly interested. | believe we are
behind several other states in matters OF
taxation. | viii not 90 into detail. only
to say that | believe taxes should be
borne by every man as nearly as possible
according to his ability to bear them.
This IS not true with our present law.
They will never remain staple on our
statute books until they are made on
.orrect principles.
Finally, i ! am successful at the polls,
can only say to the voters that have
10 pet schemes nor personal interests TO
oster. Having been born and my whole
ife spent within the county, | am nat
rally interested in her welfare, and
hall at all times use my best efforts to
urther her interests in an honest and
nst manner. 1t is along these lines that
would solicit your vote and fully APP
reciate your support.
Yours very truly,
Bertrand r. Demeritt.
Duxbury, VT Sept, Q, 1915.
