a Chance To Help.


To the Editor of the Register;
would like to call the attention of
readers of The Middlebury Register to an
appeal just received from Mile Fanny
Meylan, know to many townspeople
from having had charge Of the French
Summer School at the College in 1915.
Mile Meyan intends to devote most of
next year, as she devoted all Of last
summer to work among the French
soldiers mutilated and blinded in the
war; giving her time without remunera-
ton to the work of trying to make
these poor unfortunates self-supporting,
10 far as may be done, Mile MeyIan is
neutral a Swiss, but her heart has
gone out to the suffering and
wounded and If all could read,
az | have read, the sad list Of those
whom she wants to help in their de-
spondency and need few would refuse
to give toward the cause which she has
made her own, ! have already for
warded generous contributions from
some of the French students at the
college, and it occurs to me that many
others might wish to contribute, No
cause could be more worthy, and can
vouch for the intelligent and careful
expenditure of every cent contributed,
should be glad to receive and forward
contributions, no matter how small to
this labor of mercy.

SIZE OF DAIRYMAN'S INCOME
Noticeable Increase Where Purebred
Bulls Are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Do
Not Pay for Keep.

Figures recently compiled by the
University of Illinois seem to show
that there is a definite relation be-
tween a good bull and the size of the
dairyman'S income.
On 124 dairy farms where purebred
bulls were kept at the head of the
dairy herd, the average farm income
was $1102 after deducting the taxes,
interest on investment, etc.
On 466 dairy farms where a grade
bull stood at the head of the herd the
farm income was found to be 1874 per
year, and on SO farms where scrub
bulls were used the farm income was
-$243, or failed by $243 to pay inter-
est on the investment, to say nothing
about pay for the owners time.

Sleeper Wrecked at Rutland.

The Rutland railroad northbound
Boston Montreal sleeper was deliberate
ly wrecked, the officials believe, early
last Sunday morning by an unknown
person who opened the switch on a side
track leading from the main line at the
Rutland Fire Clay company works, a
mile south Of the Rutland depot. The
locomotive and the mail and baggage
cars were derailed, the engine being
greatly damaged. The only person seri-
ously hurt was Fireman Elton w. Soul
ers of Rutland, who suffered injuries to
his right hand, which made amputation
necessary, fracture of his right leg
and many bruises. Engineer John
Sheehan of Rutland is suffering from
shock but his injuries are confined to
bruises.

BY the time the creamery man gets
his slice out of the milk profits, the

err his, the slice that is left for the
man who ought to have the biggest
slice of all is pretty thin.

FEEDING cows WHOLE BEETS
Somewhat Larger Yield Of Milk and
Milk Fat Obtained Than When
They Were Chopped.

In a foreign experiment with dairy
COWS it was found that the feeding
of whole beets produced a somewhat
larger yield of milk and milk fat than
when chopped beets were fed, this In
crease probably being due to more
complete mastication and utilization.

In an ancient Samaritan synagogue
at Shechem a double roll of parchment
is guarded jealousy and is jealousy
preserved. 1t was to Shechem that
Abraham came in his first visit to
Canaan. Near Shechem Jacob sank
his famous well, and the returning
Jsraelites heard here for the last time
the voice of Joshua Shechem was the
first residence of the kings of Israel
and was city of the kings of Israel
and was city Of refuge. Here al
Jacobs we'll Jesus met the woman of
Samaria. Here the great Justin
martyr was born. After the division
Of Israel into two kingdoms Shechem
became the religious center of the
northern kingdom. and Jeroboam's
self-appointed faith degenerated into
the Samaritan worship Of our Lords
day, which is perpetuated in the old
synagogue which holds this scroll. This
double roll Of parchment. possibly the
oldest in the world. contains the first
five books of the Old Testament and
may be as old as the days of Jeremiah

DAYS ARE GROWING LONGER
Scientists Say II Takes World Three
Seconds Longer to Turn Over Than
Il Did 100 Years Ago.

Our earth appears to be slowing
down its spin. Two British astrono-
mers who have just finished long
study Of the matter report that it
now takes almost exactly three sec
onds longer for the world to turn
over once than it took 100 years ago,
and, a century hence, still another
three seconds will have been added to
the day.
At this rate, Shakespeare had near
~ ten seconds less in his "a hours
than has modern dramatist, says
Saint Nicholas. William the Conqueror
was handicapped half minute in
keeping up with his descendants. Ju-
Illus Caesar was a whole minute to the
bad; while even If he had lived to old
age, his life would still have been
some twenty of our days short of what
his biographers would have claimed for
him.
Abraham and the early PharaOhs
would have been still more pressed
for time. The earliest men, say in the
year 100000 B. c., would have had no
use for How long to live on "a hours
a day, for they had only "a hours to
do their living in and were really only
seventy-six years old when they
thought they had reached fourscore.

WHEN A COLD IS NOT A COLD
II IL Lasts Longer Than Three Days
Il 10 4 NASAL Sinusltis," De-
clares Physician.

"A cold in the head which lasts
longer than three days is no longer
such, but nasal sinusitis,' said Or.
John J. Hurley of Boston in an address
reported in the Medical Record.
Doctor Hurley was arguing that
grippe and influenza were nothing
but On Inflammation Of the sinuses Of
the face, that labyrinth of the passages
in the bones of the nose, cheeks and
forehead which empty into the nose or
pharyn1. After comparing all the
classic symptoms Of influenza as de-
scribed in the textbooks with those Of
sinusitis and pointing out their SINH
larity If not identity, he called 1nflu-
enza" and grippe" the "alibis Of ig-
nOrance."
The familiar influenza bacillus dis
covered by Pfeiffer is found in many
but by no means all cases OF so-called
grippe. It has special affinity for the
sinuses Of the nose. But there are
many other bacilli-all Of the pus-
forming kinds-that produce the same
effects.
Sinusis is nothing but the formation
Of an abscess In the sinuses. The pa
tent needs no drugs; what he needs is
to have the sinuses emptied. This is
easy in nearly all cases; specialist
can open the swollen passages with a
cotton pledget on the tip Of bougie
and generally nothing more is needed
than the touching of the passages with
nitrate of silver. Once they begin to
discharge their pus freely the cure is
rapid. Cases in which an operation Is
necessary are the rare exception.

BUYING LUXURIES DOES
NOT HELP WORKERS

A wealthy woman we know say:
she feels she should order as many
gowns as usual for the coming sea
son, because not to do so would be
to throw seamstresses out Of employ
ment.
This is one of the economic falla-
cies which dies hard 1t is fallacy
though. Our friend should order as
few gowns as possible, because the
seamstresses are needed on army
supplies.
1t is so comforting when one wants
to indulge in luxuries to tell oneself
that really one is giving employment
to the needy. Have the luxuries if
you will, you are tht judge of what
you wish to spend, but don't try to
soothe your soul with the idea that
you are doing a public service at the
same time.
War conditions emphasize the fact
that the worktrs are all needed for
the production OF useful and neces-
sary articles. In peace times it is
not so easy to see the economic fall
lacy, because undoubtedly a large
number Of men and women do de-
pend on the production and distribu-
ton of luxuries.
If ordering an extra gown gives
work to a seamstress why not a
gown every day in the week? Why
not smash the china and burn the
furniture so that artisans may have
more work in replacing them?
The truth is that useless extrava-
gance never really helps even the
industry it patronizes because its
patronage is artificial and spasmodic.
