Contrary to rumors, no new cases oil
smallpox have developed at the Vermont
state hospital since the quarantine was
placed over the institution.
On Memorial day 45 of the male en-
ployes of the hospital marched from the

On the state farm in Dlnbury, pa
triotism was shown Memorial day by the
drawing out of II loads of manure from
the basement of the barn. about one
third of mile, and spreading upon the
land This was under the supervision of
the state farmer, H. G. Douglass.
Wednesday morning it was discovered
that fire had started under one of the
band saws in the mill of the Waterbury
Manufacturing Co., which did little harm
because of the successful working of the
sprinkling system. Near where the fire
started was sawdust, kindling and wood,
which would make confagration pos
sible. 1t probably started from hot
box, the pulley and betting being scorched
and damage amounting to about 5000
done. But for the sprinkler system, it
is more than possible that the mill would
have burned and other property endan-
gered, as the FIRE evidently caught in the
night.

The War Work Council and the Soldiers.

| The national war work council, com
posed of a large group OF the leading
men in all states OF the union, led by
John r. Mott, general secretary OF the
international committee of the Young
Mems Christian association, is raising a
fund of S3,000,000 for association work
among the million or more young men
who will soon compose the United States
army and navy. This sum will provide
for the erection of temporary buildings
in the large camps, equip them with ia
cilities for letter writing, reading, play
ing games, holding religious meetings,
having victrola, q piano and moving
picture show. Every building will be in
charge OF competent secretaries, who
will lead the men in their leisure time,
their moral and religious life. The sec
retaries cooperate with the regimental
chaplains and the work viii be with all
men of the regiments. The fund will
also provide for sending secretaries to
Europe with the troops. The plan has
the hearty approval of President Wilson
as well as the war and navy depart
ments. On April 81 he issued an execu-
tive order placing the association on Off
eial standing and arranging for the full
est cooperation.
Each state OF the union has been asked
TO organize for this campaign and Sc
cure its share of the fund. Vermont is
asked to raise at least $4,000, A state
war work council has been organized,
consisting OF w. B. Howe, w. u. Van
Patten, G. P. Smith, F. H. North OF Bur
lington. Newman K Chaffee of Rutland,
+. A. Rowland of Montpelier. County
war work councils are organized in each
OF the IA counties The work of securing
the money is going on well, but more is
needed if the state is TO do her share in
guarding the moral life of the men.
Contributions-large or smsll-are ear
nestly requested from all citizens of the
state, from patriotic societies, social
clubs, fraternities. oranges, churches, cor
porations, boards of trade.

CONGRATULATIONS EXTENDED.
For the Vigorous Red Cross Campaign
Conducted in Vermont.

Burlington, June l.--Just one NOR,
day and the strenuous statewide cam
paign for membership in the Vermont
chapter, American Red Cross will have
ended.
1t will have ended we'll,
IL will have ended with credit to all
who played their part in the energetic
campaign.
A Jealous worker at headquarters said
last evening:
Little old Vermont, true to her colors,
true to her sons and her daughters, has
never failed in any emergency. She will
make new record this week. She will
act an example in Red Cross work that
will be no easy task for other states to
follow"
The remaining day means renewed eff
fort on the part of every worker The
object now is to see how much greater
the 10000 membership can be made. It's
everybody to do his best from now till
the campaign closes.
The employees of the o. l.. Kinds COM
pany of this city are 1true blue" to the
Red Cross. A short time ago a flag rails
ing took place at the plant on st. Paul

statewide Red Cross campaign became
known to them, they waived the pic
ture buying and said they preferred to
aid the Red Cross with their member
ship. The employees number one hundred,
and fully ninety are wearing the Red
Cross button.

An editorial in the June Woman's
Home Companion calls attention in the
following manner to what is perhaps,
the best window display this country
has ever seen.
Canton, ILL.,, has produced a new and
interesting feature of the annual school
parade which is given in so many towns
and cities in the United States. There is
in Canton big public square, block
long on its four sides, and all around this
square and its neighboIhood are the
leading business houses of the city. On
the day of the school parade all the mer-
chants lent their windows 60 display of
school products.
Manual training exhibits filled two
big windows. Girls of domestic science
classes had exhibits in other windows;
for instance. a luncheon table, correctly
set, and with an appetizing first course
ready ON it. The work of drawing classes
held attention in another window. Geom
etry and algebra students displayed their
work elsewhere. One big window was
given over to the exhibits of the towns
home nursing work. with figures show
ing before and after conditions in homes
where public school pupils had wrought
veritable miracles. Every department Of
primary and high school education that
lent itself to graphic illustration was
given display space downtown.
Here's what happened: Parents who
came down town 10 witness the parade
of course they came early TO get good
places along the curb-saw all these
displays. and began going from
one window 20 another. Mothers and
fathers who never had been inside a
classroom since they ended their own ed

For Those Who Suffer
Pain in Stomach, Back
or Joints
tBy Samuel Hamilton, NJ. d.


In recent years investigation by means
of X-rays, the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow.
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water is necessary in good bodily house
keeping. To drink a pint of hot water
before meals is good practice, and those
suffering from catarrhal condition of
the stomach will find benefit in adding
about 10 grains tone-sixth of level
tesspoonful) of baking soda, drinking it
an hour before each meel.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suffer
with lumbsgo or rheumatism at times,
pain in the back or back of the neck,
take little Anuric before meals. Anu
rio double strength can be found at
any good drug store, and was first dis
covered by DIR. Pierce, of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, n. Y.
When run down, when life indoors has
brought about a stagnant condition in
the circulation-'most everyone is filled
with uric scid-especially is this so of
people past middle age. Thi- uric acid in
the blood often causes rheumatism, lum
bago, swelling of hands or feet, or bag
like condition under the eyes. Backsche,
frequent urination or the pains and stiff
ness Of the joints and high blood press
ure are also often noticed. Everyone
should drink plenty of pure water and
exercise in the open air as much as
possible. / have found that Anuric is
an antidote for this uric acid poison and
that it will dissolve the accumulation of
uric acid in the body much as hot water
iissolves sugar.-Adv.
