Light Cures Disease.

When rays of light fall upon the
skin of our bodies, which is translucent,
the greater part Of them are arrested,
some by one layer Of the skin, some
by another, and still others are not
stopped until they have penetrated
the simultaneous tissues. This arrest
of the light rays produces radiant
heat, which has higher penetrating
power than convection heat as gener-
ated by hot water bag or poultlce,
for instance. Prof. e. G. Titus Of Eng
land, in an address has stated that
such heat penetrates two inches or
more, while convection heat is excited
principally on the surface. This is
why electric light baths and sun baths
are so stimulating to the organs Of
elimination.

WEEKS TAKES JAIL CENSUS
Prisoners Probably Will be Put to
Work on Roads.

Judge John E. Weeks, director of
state institutions, is at work this week
on survey of all county jails in the
state to determine the number of pris-
oners now occupying them, and the
normal number, as part of plan which
has been discussed between him and
Governor Graham for release of some
of the prisoners for state work.
Five men from the prisoners at the
House of Correction in Rutland have
already been selected to 90 to Mendon
to do state forestry work, practically
without guard. Ten other men from
the same institution will be sent to
Brandon to dig sewer ditch at the new
school for feeble minded. These are
initial steps in bigger plan which will
probably be put in effect all over the
state this summer for utilization of
prisoners labor for state work.
The prisoners will be paid reasonable
wages for their work, the cost being
charged to the forestry or highway or
other state department under which the
work is done. A large number of them
on new road construction. This has
been done successfully in other states,
and at this time it will have special
advantage in Vermont in that it will
ease the labor market.
Judge Weeks is also organizing farm
work at the five state institutions under
his jurisdiction so that 300 acres or
more will be under cultivation this year.
representing probably a 1OO.acre in
crease over last year and more intensive
farming. The land will be sown to
potatoes, beans, corn, oats, wheat and
garden vegetables, with the hope of
not only providing for all uses of the
institutions but some surplus to con-
tribute toward relieving the general
food conditions.

Snow on Hancock Mountain,

A Hancock man who was in Middle
bury Saturday, and who had to cross
Hancock mountain to get to the
county seat, said he found plenty of
snow on the mountain. In one place
in the highway it was over the tops of
his rubber boots, and he had to get out
of the wagon and lead his horse. The
snowfall was heavier than usual up
there this winter, and the backward
spring has prevented its melting. 1t is
predicted that there will be good snow
balling up that way till well along in
June.

The Busy Reapers

Arbutus, the only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin Feller's died in
Hays, on Wednesday evening, at the
home of her grandparents Mr.. and
Mrs. Jerry Fellers, death coming as
result of an accident which occurred
at the home in the country that
morning. The little one, rising ear
lier than usual found a match and lit
it, setting fire to her night dress, and
ran down the stairs, where she was
met by the mother, who smothered
the flames, and the child then told
what she had done, but did not cry
or complain of feeling any pain,
though the flesh was scared quite bad
~ about the neck and shoulders. She
was brought to town. DIR. Haas then
learned that death came from inhal-
ing the fumes, rather than from the
burns themselves. The little one was
born September Is, 1913, baptized
April 4, 1915 and died May 16, 1917.
Thus, within the week another little
human flower has been transplanted
from earth's garden and Heaven is
the richer. But hearts in the homes
bereft are desolate indeed.
The altar was banked with the
most beautiful flowers of the spring
time and cut flowers from the city
Conservatives, but none were fairer
than the sweet Arbutus blossom her
self. The funeral held in the church
on Friday morning, was very largely
attended and the service conducted by
Rev. A. S. Hale of the Methodist
church. The choral number "Beckon-
! ing Hands" was most appropriate and
comforting.

Pri.oner c:ellapse.- IN court

When Lena Kinderknecht was
brought into the court room this
morning she collapsed and a recess
was forced until this afternoon.
The jury was completed late last
night Eleven jurors are married and
nine have daughters Eightare farm
ers.
Mary told a straightforward story,
as the states star witness, In relating
the incidents which occurred on the
night of the tragedy. Under cross-ex-
animation by z. A. Rea, however, she
admitted that during the year and
half she had been going with Richard
son her parents and Lena, her sister,
had pleaded with her to stop All of
them told her, she testified, that Rich
ardsOn was married.
The Observation-Disclosures Trial.
The admission by Mary Kinder
knecht that her sister, Lena, had
warned her that her life might be
blasted If she continued to associate
with Frederick Richardson, and that
she might be led into white slavery,
furnished a sensation in the trial of
Lena Kinderknecht on a charge of
first degree murder here this week
Lena is accused of killing Richardson,
when he returned from taking Mary
for an auto ride, contrary to the wish
es of her parents.
Hangs Head During Testimony
The witness said she realized that
her actions seemed to be breaking her
mothers heart. Mary broke down
and cried during this recital and hung
her head when she admitted that Lena
| had warned her of disgrace and dan
ger of white slavery as the penalty
for going with married man.
The state also introduced testimony
of Alex Wletz sheriff, who declared
that Lena and John Kinderknecht
| had walked around on the dark cor
ner of Chestnut and Wilson Avenues
for almost an hour waiting for Rich
erdson to return with Mary. The
shooting, it is alleged, occurred after
Richardson had driven up and allow
ed Mary to leave the car.
Frank Kirby, who lived Just east
of the place where the auto stopped
testified that the two shots were fired
almost Immediately after the machine
came to standstill, and the three
persons near it ran away, two going
west and one into Nick Schyler's
house.

and an expert machinist desires to
march with the flag, the Nation is be-
ing served only when the sharp shoot
er marches and the machinist remains
at his levers The whole Nation must
be a team In WHICH each man shall
play the part for which he is best fit
ted. To this end, Congress has provi-
ded that the Nation shall be organized
for war by selection and that each
man shall be classified for service in
the place to which it shall best serve
the general good to call him.
The significance of this can not be
overstated- It is new thing In our
history and a landmark In our pro-
gress- It IS new manner of accept
ing and vltalizlng our duty to give
ourselves with thoughtful devotion to
the common purpose of US all. 1t is
III no sense CONSUMPTION, of the un-
willing, 1t IS rather, selection from a
nation which has volunteered in mass.
1t is no more choosing of those who
shall march with the colors than it
is a selection of those who shall serve
an equally necessary devoted pur-
pose in the industries that lie behind
the battle line
The day here named is the time I'D
on which all shall present themselves
for assignment to their tasks. 1t is
for that reason destined 20 be remem-
bered as one of the most conspicuous
moments in our history. 1t is nothing
less than the day upon which the man
hood of the country shall step for
ward IN one solid rank IN defense of
the ideals to which this Nation is
consecrated- It is important to those
ideals no less than to pride of this
| generation in manifesting its devo-
ton to them, that there be no gaps
III the ranks.
1t is essential that the day be ap-
preached in thoughtful apprehension
OF its significance and that we accord
to it the honor and the meaning that
1t deserves. Our industrial need pre-
scribes that it be not made a techni-
cal holiday, but the stern sacrifice
that is before US urges that it be car
RED IN all our hearts as a great day
| OF patriotic devotion and obligation
then the duty shall lie upon every man
he is himself to be registered or not
to see to it that the name of every
male person of the designated ages
is written on these lists of honor
In witness whereof, / have hereun-
to set my hand caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
