Foreigners Flee Canada;

Ottawa, Jan. ls--Fear Of CON-
pulsory military service through the
distribution Of national service cards
calling for statements Of age, physical
condition and other information re.
quired by the government has resulted
in an exodus Of foreigners from
Canada to the United States.
The migration, chiefly from the
cities has interferred seriously with
many Canadian industries and in
order to keep the workmen in Canada
the Dominion government has issued
a statement explaining that compul-
sorry military service is not under con-
sideration and should this step become
necessary, it would only effect British
subjects.

Teeth NoW Beautified
Almost Like Magic

Why is 1t that men and women of re-
hnement go to their dentists two three or
four times year to have their teeth
scraped? Because such persons, though
ardent devotees of the tooth brush, find
that the usual denufrices do not suffice
to keep their teeth free from stains and
tartar. II more people only knew 1t,
there Is a perfectly harmless substance
to be found in any drug store, which acts
almost like magic when used on unclean
and discoiored teeth.
Anyone can have the loveliest peariy
white teeth imaginable by simply using
avatol in place of tooth powder, cream or
liquid. II one will procure tube Of this
and use little Of 1t daily on a tooth
brush. the unsightly discolorations and tar
tar will not return after their removal.
Furthermore, avatol, being antiseptic and
antacid, destroys germs, prevents tooth de-
cay and gum Inflammation, neutraiizes acids
and keeps the breath sweet. This is the
most important announcement in the field
Of dental hygiene made within recent years.

GOLD IN VERNON
Rutland Herald.

I
In supplementary reader for the
youths of Vermont who may desire
to know "what opportunities the
State can afford its ambitious sons
and daughters, the author, Walter
II. Crockett says that gold mining
has been attempted at various
times" in the towns Of Bridgewater,
Plymouth and Readsb )ro. This state
ment was much discussed by the people
of New England, The Hartford
Courant however, offers as proof the
experience Of Abiel Sayton, of Stowe,
who washed out gold valued at 5000 on
his farm and had it made into watch
chain and other jewelry for himself
and members Of his family, The Courant
adds that this experience might be
duplicated by "any well to do man
with some knowledge Of geology
and abundant leisure" But even at
that gold mining would not seem to
offer much of an opportunity in the
Green Mountain State. New York
Sun.
In this connection it is a matter of
record that in Graham's history Of Yer
mont, an ancient publication long since
gone out of print, and very rare, it is
stated that a gold mine had been opened
in Rutland on what is now North Main
street, although it is not stated what
the result of the mining was. 1t would
be interesting to know whether there
are any local legends extant concerning
that gold mine.

VERMONT MARBLE.
81, Johnsbury calodonIan,

II is interesting to note that marble
and stone work Is the largest manu-
featuring industry in Vermont, the
average number of wage earners in
that industry being more than twice
that in any other The value of the
marble and stone products in the year
1914 was Sl2, GO5,4l7. The value of
the next largest industry, lumber
and timber was S., 76s, 1853. A close
third is the production of butter,
cheese and condensed milk, the value
of which was $S,G95,9l5, This great
amount of butter, cheese and con-
densed milk is produced without ex-
hausting the natural resources of the
State while lumber and stone are not
reproduced as fast as they are used.

own States, Therefore, it is hoped that
the evil will be remedled at this SEES
sion of the legislature, The bill passed
by the House Thursday, requiring non
residents to give five days notice OF
their intention to take out marriage
licenses, would correct the phase Of the
situation, but why not pass a law uni
form with that of other States, which
would require residents, as well as non
residents, to file intentions five days be-
fore obtaining a marriage license?

CIVIL SERVICE FOR POST
MASTERS.
Springfield Reporter.

President Wilson is reported to favor
the bill of Senator PoindeXter of
Washington which would place post
masters of all classes under civil-service
regulations and put this office out
of the reach Of deserving" politicians
of any brand, whose principal article
of political faith is that "to the victor
belongs the spoils." The postofice has
become in late years complicated af-
fair that can no longer be admins
tered by unframed or inefficient men
who may happen to stand well with
the party in power. If the public is
to be adequately served the postal de-
partment must be unaffected by a
change of administration. Of course
President Wilson can be accused of

VERMoNT,s WATER POWER

To the Editor Of the Register:
An account Of the recent develop
ment Of the water-power Of the French
Alps by Prof, X. Blanchard in the
Annales de Geography merits the at
tention Of all who are interested in the
development of the natural wealth of
Vermont. For the conditions prevailing
in that part of France a few years ago
were not dissimilar in some respects to
those in this State. The manufacturing
industries were comparatively few and
the lure Of the large town, or as he
terms il, the economic evolution of the
18th century, had depopulated the
country villages and mountain farms.
Now through the use of the water
power the whole region has been trans
formed. Nearly every kind Of mechanical
industry is to be be found there and the
people have gone back to their country
villages and mountain farms. The pro-
vision Of artificial irrigation by instalIa-
ton of the water-power, it has been
found, has added vastly to the wealth
of the cultivable land, A village, which
in the last century had only 10 inhabi-
tants, in 1911 had ZOO Are not these

The attempt to rob the First Natona
Bank of Brandon-an attempt which,
happily, failed because of the resist nee
offered by the safe to the drills of the
robbers should set all people on guard
because it is evident that the professions
al safe robbers have begun their spring
work unusually early. Every spring
the criminals by profession, who have
been hiving up in winter quarters in the
large cities, fare forth into the less pop
uated districts and start a summer of
crime which sometimes is lucrative and
which always furnishes the excitement
that some minds crave. From early
spring till winter drives them into the
city underworld these safe-crackers fit
about the country districts of New
England, usually attacking the postofiice
safes but sometimes varying the pro-
gram with foray against bank or a
store. The preparations made in the
daring attempt in the village of Bran
don seems to indicate that it was the
work of professionals, despite the failure
Of their effort. The professional crooks
are feeling the pinch of the high cost of
living and are forced to begin their

PENNY PAPERS.
Mortified News

The one cent papers of the country
are pretty generally raising their
price to two cents. One after another
is falling into line. Only two papers in
Vermont are still selling for one cent,
and these are the Barre Daily Times
and the Montpelier Argus. We make
the PREDICTION at least one of these
will go to two cents pretty soon.
Newspapers and printing are about the
only things that have wthstood the at
tack so far. The trouble seems to be to
keep track of the price of white paper
for more than one consecutive day.
More than 800 weekly papers in the
country have suspended. Perhaps some
of them ought to. In this connection
the Publishers Auxiliary says that no
institution has been more loyal to local
interests through thick and thin than the
country newspapers and it is a poor com
munity that does not stand by its best
friend; probably some of the papers
stopped deserved to, but many of them
did not, and their demise is due to the
fact that they are published in dead
communities. A live newspaper makes
a live town, and wise versa.

the policy of printing limited edition,
