LUDLOW STATION REBUILT.

The Rutland railroad station at
Ludlow, which was badly damaged by
fire some time ago, has been practi-
cally rebuilt and it is expected that it
will be open to the public in few
days. The second story, which was
burned, has been entirely removed,
and the roof projects over the platform
on the north side, so that passengers
are under shelter while waiting for
trains. Nearly the entire center part
has been given over to the Office,
doubling its size. In both waiting
rooms, extensive repairs have been
made, including modern drinking
fountains and retiring rooms. The
style of the building has been altered to
meet with present-day requirements.

Starvation Tariff Profits.

N Secretary Redfeld of the depart NRhent of commerce has drawn from 1he hosiery manufacturers of the Echuylkill valley in Pennsylvania a Enong outburst of righteous indigna- tfon by asserting that they are mak- ing\ a profit of l2 per cent. As statement of fact this does not seem to meet objection. But as sugges- tion thGt F per cent is enough it causes an uproar. No manufacturer in any line of business" says one of them, really considers 12 per cent a fair profit"
 Nest businesses outside of the tar if wards of the nation have to be sat isfied with an average profit of some thing like one-haf of 12 per cent, whether they want to be satisfied or not. But industries able to put the government back of them with tariff of from go to 100 per cent have not usually needed to be satisfied with beggarly six per cent, and they do not intend to be satisfied as long as there Is a chance open of keeping the lhSy hoNC Edu It, Twelve per cent with them is not even a fair minimum. It is only the point above which reasonable profits begin and below which starvation and ruin prevail
 The secretary of commerce might as well give up. His attempt to deal with the tariff question on the assump- tion that 12 per cent profits ought to be good enough Cor any beneficiary is a failure. There is no science" in it. It is all starvation.

 Vick's Vap O-Rub is the invention of a North Carolina druggist He found how to combine Menthol and Camphor with the volatile oils of Eucalyptus. Thyme, Cubebs and Juniper in a salve form, so that, when VapO-Rub is ap- piled externally. the body heat re- leases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors are inhaled with every breath, through the air passages, to the lungs, loosening the phlegm, and. in addition. Vick's is ab- sorbed through the skin, taking our the tightness and soreness. This double action makes Vap-O-Rub useful for wide range of troubles. From intiammations of the air passage. such as head colds, catarrh, asthma. sore throat bronchitis or deep chest colds, down to infiammations of the skin and tissues, such as burma bruises, stings. piles and itchings.
