A Famous Statue.

The great temple of Zeus Olympus
at Olympia Greece, was 354 feet long
and Ill wide. The columns of this fa-
nous shrine were sixty feet in height
and six and half feet in diameter and
are the largest which now remain of
ancient architecture in marble. Sixteen
of the wonderful columns are still
standing and are among the most i'm
posing In the world. In this temple
stood the colossal statue of Zeus, forty
feet high, on pedestal of twenty.
This statue was the masterpiece of
Phidias, the worlds greatest artist, and
so famous was it that it was consider
ed calamity to die without seeing it.
The immortal work was removed TO
Constantinople by Theodosius |. and

STUDYING AGRICULTURE.
Short Course at University of Vermont
Opened with "a Students.

The short course given at the College
of Agriculture of the University of Yer
mont opened last week with "a students
and more are expected. The attendance
thus far is a little larger than last year,
all but three of the IA counties being
represented, and there being one student
| from New York state.
| The short course consists of two
courses of four weeks each. Each morn
ing lectures and demonstrations are Civ
en- by Prof. Story and Mr.. johnson on
creamery management, the testing OF
milk and general dairy practice. The
last hour OF the morning session is set
aside for talk, generally by some mem
Der of the university faculty on one of a
variety of topics of general information.
The afternoon is devoted to practical
dairy work. The men are divided into
four squads. The FIRST squad uses the
separator and clarifier. The second squad
gives its attention to the propagation of
starter, to cream ripening' and to
churning. The third squad takes up
market milk work and the manufacture
of soft cheese and ice cream. The
fourth squad uses the Babcoek test to
determine the amount of butter fat and
also tests milk for impurities.
This wear the remodelled market milk
equipment and new pasteurizer give
additional facilities for practical in
struetion.
The change in dairying methods
brought about by the large increase in
shipments Of milk out of the state calls
for specially trained men, and creamery
employees not specially trained find it in
creasingly difficult 10 satisfy the re
quirements.
The College of Agriculture has more
demands for efficient graduates of its
short course than it is able to supply.
The graduates find little difficulty in Sc
curing positions as COW testers. superin-
tendents Of milk plants and in other
phases Of dairy work. Many of these
men who have not commanded more than
$50 per month IN wages almost immedi-
ately secure from SEQ to SIS per month. /

WOMEN SHOULD

Don't Eat Bite of Breakfast Until You
Drink Glass of Hot
Water

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous, and vi
vacious---a good, clear skin; natural
rosy complexion and freedom from i'll
ness are assured only by clean, healthy
blood. If only every woman and like
wise every man could realize the wonders
of the morning inside bath, what graft
flying change would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sielSly
anemic-looking men, women and girls
with pasty or muddy complications; in
stead of the multitudes of nerve
wrecks "rundowns," "brain Tags" and
pessimists, we should see virile, opti-
mistic throng of rosy checked people ev.
erywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a glass
of real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, TO wash from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards
of bowels the previous days indigestible
waste, sour lamentations and poisons
thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen
ing the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bilious
ness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds;
and particularly those who have pallid,
sallow complexion and who are consti-
pated very often, are urged to obtain
quarter pound of limestone phosphate at
the drug store, which will cost but
trihe but is sufficient to demonstrate
the quick and remarkable change in both
health and appearance awaiting those
who practice internal sanitation. We
must remember that inside cleanliness
is more important than outside, because
the skin does not absorb impurities to
contaminate the blood, while the pores
in the 80 feet of bowels do.--Adv.
