Take a Tip from Nature.

The Public Health Service at Wash
ington has issued bulletin ON nervous
diseases and other tendencies to shorten
life, in which there is stunning plea
against worrying
$50 far as is known no bird ever
tried to build more nests than its neigh
Dor. No fox ever fretted because he
had only one hole in which to hide. No
squirrel ever died Of anxiety lest he
should not lay up enough nuts for two
winters instead of for one, and no dog
ever lost any sleep over the fact that he
did not have enough bones laid aside
for declining years.
The man who has a dozen or more
suits of clothes, but can wear only one
at time, is apt to have a source OF
worry from which the squirrel is free
The woman who has a dozen or more
gorgeous hats, and worries as to which
plume or feather suits her complexion
best might take tip from the bird
whose feathers at least become it.

RESOLUTION ON Mr.. PITTS.
Fitting Tribute to His Memory from
National Life Insurance Co.

On motion of Frank c. Partridge of
Proctor the following resolution on the
death of Clarke c. Fits was adopted in
the annual meeting OF the National Life
Insurance company held IN Montpelier
yesterday:
For the second time within one year
this board mourns the loss of one of its
members. The Hon. Clarke c. Fits of
Brattleboro, Vermont, attended our last
quarterly meeting in October apparently
in usual health. On November ) he I'M
derwent an operation at Brookline,
Mass, for an internal trouble from
which he eventually died at The home OF
his sister at Watertown, Mass, on De
cember 20 last.
Mr.. Fits was born at West Wards
boro, Vermont, October II, 1870. He
graduated from the high school at Brat
! tleboro before he was sixteen and was
admitted to the bar OF this state four
| days after he reached his majority
From the beginning he was successful
| practitioner and at a very early age be-
came leader of the Vermont bar When
only 81 years old he was elected attor-
ney general OF the state and held that
office for four wears. At the time of his
! ut1tdNt. III inc HullbtI, AdIltlN ana I'M
lportance of the interests which he repre-
sented, he had probably the largest prac-
tice of any attorney in our state.
Although Mr.. Fits was conspicuous
as an alert energetic and successful law
yer, his service as a public leader was
even greater. He had deep interest in
public affairs and gave himself generous
" to the advancement of public inter
A ID
lacterlZes him as the most conspicuous
benefactor Brattleboro ever had His
, public interests, however, We're more
than local-they embraced the whole
, state. For the development of our wa
ter powers he did much and he was a
conspicuous champion of the eonsefsa-
ton of our national resources. His
death at the early age of 46 years, at a
time when he gave such promise of
much larger and greater public use
ltulness, is great blow to Vermont
Mr.. Fits became a member of this
board III January, 1916. His actual
service upon the board was of short du-
! ration, but in that time he manifested
such interest in its affairs and brought
!, to the board such capacity for broad
: and comprehensive Judgment that his
: election to the board seemed ideal His
loss to this company is not measured by
the short term of his service, but by
! the natural expectation Of the great
i service which he could and would have
brought to us if his life had beer
{ spared.
!" As an expression of the persona
i sorrow which we, his colleagues, feel
and of our keen regret for the great los
5 which this company has met in his de
! cease, Be it resolved, That this memoria
II be entered upon our records and that
q copy thereof be sent to his widow. y

'UNIVERSALISTS AND
UNITARIANS MEET
Union Service Addressed by Rev. C. E.
Rice and Rev. A. P. Record,
Both of Springfield, Mass.

An audience that about half filled the
auditorium of the Unitarian church last
evening at the union meeting of Uni
tarians and Universalists heard inter
esting addresses by Rev. Clarence E.
Rice, minister of the First Universalist
church of Springfield, Mass, and Rev.
4. =. Record. minister of Unity church
Of the same city, Rev. Delmar f. Trout
introduced DR.. Rice and Rev. +. @. s.
Osgood performed the same office for
Rev. Mr.. Record.
DR.. Rice spoke on Efficiency in the
Church. He cited many instances of eff
ficiencv in different walks of life and
turned to the question OF the efficiency
of the church. Many heckle the church
and demand that it tackle the social
problem first and with all energy.
Discussing this attitude, he said that
social uplift work and similar endeavors
all have grown out of the influence of
the church. He said that 90 per cent
of those engaged i'll social work of one
kind or another received their inspira-
tions for the work through the church.
The office of the church primarily is to
| give inspiration. \ prophet is needed
before a philanthropist.
Rev. Mr.. Record s subject was The
Soul quest. In opening he explained
that there was no COLLISION between him
and DIR. Rice in determining upon their
subjects, but he felt that if there had
been consultation between them thew
could not have made selections that
would have dovetailed together as we'll
as IN this instance.
He said that there are lively churches
and live churches and that there is 4
great distinction between them. and in
this difference IS found the answer to
the efficient church and that. which is
mot meeting the demands of the mem
bers. The real quest of the soul is for
| Astounding, abundant life. The. smallest
| Hover that grows turns towards the sun.
80 does the soul seek through the church
| the larger life.
In olden times Christianity meant To
be follower of Christ. Today 1t too
often means the acceptance of some dog
matte statements. When we stand in
/ the real sanctuary of the spirit we shall
see no man and accept no faith but that
of the real jesus.
