Bad Habits

Those who breakfast at eight o.
clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to di-
gest before taking another. Not less
than FIVE hours should elapse between
meals. If you are troubled with in
digestion correct your habits and
take Chamberlain's Tablets, and you
may reasonably hope for quick re-

Public Land Going

Time was when it was Uncle Sam S
boast that he could give every one of his
sons farm, but that time has passed
Mr.. Lane, Secretary of the Department
of the Interior, ia his annual report, says
that the area OF public land is steadily
decreasing, so that it is ow only about
two hundred and fifty million acres.
While this appears to be a large area,
most of it is in desert regions and is I'M
available for settlement without irriga-
tion.
The back to the soil movement is still
active and about twenty millions of acres
that probably in less than ten years
there will be no public land of conse-
quence available for the homesteader
This will make more prominent than
ever the problem of irrig alton, for many
million acres OF desert lands lett can be
brought into rich production by the APP
plication of water, and much public land
can he made serviceable by draining.
Not only the water that goes to waste
flowing to the sea, but the deep under
flows can be made available, and it is
Secretary Lanes belief that effort enough
has not been made TO discover under
ground supplies of water which can be
used upon the deserts of the West.
The Secretary believes that Congress
should either appropriate directly for i'm
proving these lands by system of drill
ing. or else pass a law providing induce
ments for private concerns to make the
effort. The agricultural possibilities of
Alaska are still uncertain, but it has been
found that in some of the great valleys
there the hardest cereals and vegetables
will grow. Alaska has a climate less
rigid than that of some regions of the
United States now thickly populated.

The Suffrage Bill

The largest attendance at any public
hearing gathered in the Hall of Repre-
sentatives Thursday evening before the
committee on suffrage and elections.
The anti-suffragists held the rostru m
most of the evening, the seats an gal
leries being packed with spectators.
Mrs. d. S. Conant of Bradford led the
argument against the bill and declared
that it was not question by Vermonters
being governed by western women, but
they might better be warned against be-
ing governed by Vermont women.
Mrs. II. l.. Watkins of Burlin .ton, Mr. .
b. R. Deneritt of Waterbury, Miss Je :
ME Valentine of Bennington, Mrs. A. B.
Buell. of Burlington and Ms. r ,bart
Ltwrence of Rutland spoke b,i, fly against
the bill.
Mrs. Lawrence told the committee
that there were HOO women taxpayers in
Rutland, eligible to vote Oh school mat
tiers, but only 274 registered and still
smaller number voted. This she declared
was silent protest against the added
burden of responsibility imposed by
equal suffrage.
Mrs. Frank Lowe of Montpelier testi
fled to the same conditions in Montpel-
Ter and Mrs. e. l.. Robinson of Cam

The Smu99lers' Notch Road

A state road through Smugglers' Notch
will prove to be one of the most valuable
assets Vermont can have to attract sum
mer visitors, and it will be money we'll
spent to appropriate $50, 900 for the work
of road construction. If there is desire
for proof of the desirability of expepding
money in this manner, let the people of
Vermont take trip to Dixvlle Notch in
northern New Hampshire and see what
wonderful transformation has been made
there by reason of permanent road con-
struction. A few years ago the road
through Dixville Notch was little better
than a quagmire at certain periods of the
year and traffic was practically at a
standstill at those times. Now fine,
smooth highway leads through the whole
region from the Notch to Enrol, aud
thence southwark to Berlin and Ind
White Mountain region, the result being
that there is a constantly increasing
volume of tourist traffic through thd
northern section of New Hampshire. Id
will prove to be the same if Vermont layd
out enough money to build a good per-
manent road through Smugglers' Notch
