Little Bodily Energy In Potatoes.

A pound of potatoes yields hardly
one-fifth MS much body energy as
pound of rice, cornmeal, or wheat.
This is partly because they are much
more watery and partly because a
large proportion Is discarded with the
skins. Part of this loss Is inevitable
because the skin itself is not usually
considered good to eat; but the more
carelessly potatoes are pared, the more
of the valuable edible substance goes
with the skin.

Bennington Battle Day.

The Bellows Falls Times and Yer
gennes Enterprise are calling for re
peal Of the statute making August 16
legal holiday in Vermont, and
known as Bennington Battle Day.
These papers claim it is a farce and
fayors a few, especially giving post
Office employees an excuse for closing
the Office. The claim that il is not
generally observed may be true in
part, but the Herald would like to ask
why not? The battle of Bennington
was a turning point in the Revolu.
tionary war. 1t halted the onward
rush OF Burgoyne and save New Eng
land from devastation by a merciless
foe. The battle of Bennington gave
Burgoyneis army death blow and
was the forerunner of his surrender
at Saratoga. 1t was one of the i'm
portant battles in the war for Ameri.
can independence and it was won
by Vermont led by Massachusetts
and New Hampshire militia under
that stern old fighter General Stark.
II was Vermont battle and should
be state holiday II it is not prop
erly observed II is because a patriotic
sentiment and. state pride has become
lukewarm, and to the shame OF Yer.
monters. Those Green Mountain Boys
in the battle of Bennington had been
fired with the patriotism OF Ethan
Allen who fought his battles for indie
pendeneeyin the tSName-of ele, Great
Jehovah and the Continental Con,
gress,' and under the leadership OF
Seth Warner and remember Baker
made history for Vermont and Ameri
ca. II the State should so far forget
the work of those patriotic fathers
who gave us the State of Vermont by
their sacrifice and toll, then let the
statue OF Ethan Allen at the State
capitol be placed in some obscure
corner and those weak kneed, thir

their ease and forget they ever had {

Humorlnu People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring a man" sounds like
pleasant and comfortable thing, but
when one links humoring with the
question of who makes the money, it
does not seem very flattering to the
humorer or the humoree. says a writer
In the Woman's Home Companion.
And what a lamentable sight is that
Of the humoree, what deep inequality
1t implies and what an absence of any
real respect or understanding between
two people in whose lives humorlng
is a part of the daily routinel When
the one to be humored is a woman 1t
may mean that a man has been forced
into the craven part Of doing anything
for the sake of peace. There are few
concessions some men will not make
to avoid a domestic storm. Some I'M
fortunate men there are who even
give up vital friendships, legitimate
forms Of recreation, and even their
own Municipalities in this unworthy
cause.
