The Reformcr believes in the day
light saving plan and is therefore
pleased to see one of the largest in
dustrial Establishments in the state,
the Fairbanks Scale company of St.
} ohnsbury, put il into effect. The
hours for employees in all departments
of the plant will be from a. m. to
I p. m. The workers will have time
for wholesome recreation in the day
light, ana no doubt many of them will
find pleasures and profit in cultivat-
ing gardens near their homes.

In these times of rising prices all

The Golden Tomorrow.

1t is easy to believe in that golden
tomorrow. To young people particu-
larry, the future seems bright with
promise, no matter what the COM
plexion of the present. But it should
be remembered that tomorrow is likely
to have Il strong resemblance to to-day,
and that the future is made golden by
ardent work in the present.-Girls

with butter and seasoned with salt and
pepper they are not unlike mashed po-
tatoes. A fruit expert has said that
there is the same food value in ten
dozen bananas as in three pecks of po-
tatoes, and that the current price of a
bunch of bananas containing that
number is about $3.50, or about half
the price of the potatoes.

Champ Clark cried like a baby or a
very small person when he wound
up his ineffective speech against
universal service. Some people always
have tears on tap. Former Ambassa-
dor Gerard, who admits that he was a
financial hacker of Clark back in the
days of 1912, says the Missourian had
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton in his hand, ''but lost it by his
natural disposition to have cold feet.

Wearing false hair is a harmless
deceit of which many ladies are
guilty. These women are all objects
for sympathy rather than criticism.
Early neglect in the care of the
scalp has caused the loss of so much
hair that their personal appearance
is sadly marred. To correct this de-
feet they resort to artificial hair
hoping by so doing to hide the re-
suits of their earlier inattention to
the details of their toilet. These un-
fortunates are deceiving no one but

Office in New York and now repre-
senting the family Of the late Mr.. de
Saulles in the prosecution Of this
case?"
Jurors came slowly again yesterday.
Several men were excused because
they confessed prejudice in favor of
the defendant due to reading of the
case, while the majority were dis
missed after peremptory challenges
by the defense. Only four were
chosen out of thirty talesmen called,
leaving eight men in the jury box at
the end of the day.
Nine. Vergara- Errazuriz, mother OF
Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, was present
in the court room yesterday until the
excitement Of trial overcame her and
produced a heart attack, which
caused her to leave. She spent an
hour in another room in the building,
and when her strength returned she
visited her daughter, who was by this
time in her room again in the
sheriff's quarters in the Mineola jail
Nine. Vergara- Errazuriz came to
this country from Chile on the first
steamer leaving Santiago after news
that her daughter had killed de
Saulles was cabled to her. Because
of illness she did not attend the first
days trial, but she insisted on coming
yesterday in spite of her physical con-
dition.
Nine. Vergara- Errazuriz came into
the courtroom accompanied by
Chilean Consular officer at this port
and her son, William, and her daugh-
ter, Amalice. Unlike Mrs. de Saulles
who is extremely emaciated and
white, the mother is fairly plump,
with touch of color in her cheeks
A striking resemblance runs through
the family. Though the sister Am
alice is in good health, she looks
enough like Mrs. de Saulles to be a
twin sister. Sitting but 4 few feet in
the rear of the defendant, she has
occasionally been mistaken for the de-
PENDANT.
And members of the family have
the characteristic of a calmness, Dor
dering on stolidity, which has been
so strikingly exhibited by Mrs. De
Saulles. The mother, sister, and
brother sat looking straight ahead,
without the movement of a muscle on
any of the three faces. No change of
expression ever betrayed the fact if
any of the question on the jurors at
Llluuo lOWdIu I1lS uOdt11 p6udlly, OAA
his readiness to punish woman as
quickly as man, or other subjects
produced the slightest emotional re-
action in either of them. When Nine.
Vergara- Errazuriz was seized with a
heart attack, she spoke to her escort
and' walked slowly out of the room
with him. She moved away so quiet
II that 1t did not become Known that
she was i'll until her absence was
noticed later.
After she had learned that the boy
was to visit her again, Mrs. De Saul
les appeared to lose interest agar
and gazed on alphabetically while
strings of complex questions were
presented to the talesman. Because

Of insanity. which is relied on to &C
