Revjvinu Dying TreessK

A curious method of fevfviIlg. Ian gushing or dying trees was rfported recently to the French Acaddny of Agriculture after being tested sAccess- fully in experimental gardens at Au- tun, according to the Popular Mechan- ics Magazine. The earth was trst re- moved so as to lay bare the larger root branches, in which longitudinal slits were then cut and kept open by wedges. These cuts were we'll rubbed with lin seed oil, and after awhile numerous small roots appeared, forming a Sort of fur, and the trees so treated rapidly gained new life and vigor. The method was recommended for trial in tue case of languishing fruit trees. :

DECLINE OF TUBERCULOSIS.

 Prevent lts Extsrmination.
 If tuberculosis shall continue to ds. crease in this country at the same rate as in the past half century it will be obliterated in another decade. iThfs is the opinion of Dr. Cleaveland, Floyd. exprsssed at the Harvard Medical school. There art two cofff1itiops. how ever. which wilLAprevent the complete obliteration of this lung disease aktsss ent, and these aSA poverty and lack Of hygienic surroundihgS. v
 Dr. Floyd said that almost everybody has the germs of this disease in his system. but that he is able to resist their attack through living . healthy life and through the protection of na, ture.
 Inhalation and infection are the two common ways by which a person con- tracts tuberculosis. Children may get the germs in impure milk, but outdoor play prevents the spread. It often hap pens, however. that when people 90 to work in shops or insanitary offices or live in crowded rooms the disease shows itself and gains a fOothold. That Is why so many persons between the ages of nineteen and thirty-1Ao acquire tuberculosis. Massachusetts, however, is making . determined resistance against the disease, and good food. fresh air and a good blood circulation form a sure preventive. These should be guaranteed to every chfld.-Boston Transcript.

Star That Never cts
St, Adams Messenger

The Boston Transcript has done
Vermont great service in lending its
editorial page 10 correction of the
false impression that has gained cir.
culation throughout the country that
the Green Mountain state had become a
Stacker, in violent contrast to the
sturdy Americanism that character
lied its conduct in previous wars
Vermont papers have struggled to cor
rect this impression but because Of
their limited circulation their only
hope was to enlist in the cause as an
ally some metropolitan paper OF great
prestige which might cause other pa
pers all over the country to give this
state what it asks for, credit for what
il has done, no more, no less. The
Transcript comments as follows;
Apologies are due to the state of
Vermont, and no doubt the whole
country will be glad to make them.
Although the state has been low in its
rate of enlistments in the regular army
under the late call, it is not for the
reason that Vermonters are averse to
military service, but because they are
represented so largely in this service
already, In an official statement
showing the proportion of men to
population now serving in the military
establishment, Vermont appears as
seventh in the list of states. The
order is as follows; Hawaii, Oregon,
District of Columbia, Montana, Maine,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Wyom-
ing, and Vermont altogether
and two of them not states, Vermont's
proportional representation in the
army is greater than that OF Massa-
chusetts or New York. And even at
this, Vermonts representation in the
navy, whichs large, is not given. And
this also, which the st. Adams Mes
senger states is true: Vermont APP
proprated a million dollars for war
purposes-ten times as much in pro-
portion to Massachusetts; likewise
many times greater, proportionately,
than New York's effort. Vermont
farmers answered the call of the Presi-
dent and set about doing their share in
increasing food production to the
maximum. The Green Mountain
state, we are heartily glad to say, re-
mains the star that never sets. ,"
Vermont appreciates the Tran
scripts assistance in correcting the
cruelty false impression Of the state
that has been created elsewhere. The
truth is, Vermont has not lost the
sterling qualities which gave her name
and fame in the past.

Thrifty vsrmonters


1.-THE new president of the Chemical
National bank-probably the strongest
financial institution in the United States
is a Vermonter, Herbert X, Twitchell
of Weybridge, 81 years old, He re-
ceiyed his early training in the insur.
ance business in Hartford, Conn, and
went 10 the metropolis in 1889. His
first position was with the Chase Ma
tional bank, and he has been connected
with the bank of which he ia now the
head in important positions since 1907, y
BrattlebOrO Reformer,
A Vermonter by tradition and train
ing should be bank official of supera-
tive ability, And why not? Vermont
ers have been taught thrift for many
years and the banks have deposits larger
per capita than any other state of the
union, In Rutland, for example the
average deposit il substantially thou
sand dollars-fo for every man, woman
and child While the savings habit is
not the only one necessary 10 the sue
cessfu conduct of banking, il il the
most important The savings habit
pre-supposes good judgment, initiative,
honesty and conservatism. Vermonters
as a rule are not highfyers, chance
takers and wild spectators and conse-
quently few of them are involved in
high finance muddes,

Reports from College Hill are that all
is gong smoothly with the Summer
Session language schools, and that in
line with the suggestions previously
made in these columns the head Of the
German department has modified to Il
large extent some Of the requirements
of previous years regarding constant
use Of the German language on the
streets and the compulsory reading Of
German newspapers.
1t is pointed out that the prospectus
of the school promising the creation Of
German atmosphere was prepared by
Fraulein Professor Stroebe long before
the United States went to war with
Germany, and that in full realization Of
the circumstances, the German atmos-
phere is not in any sense a pro.German
one. Studiously the instructors appear
to be avoiding the raising Ct any issue
that involves the war or odious contrast
of German kultur and American ideas.
Fraulein Sroebe herself has lately
taken out naturalization papers.

German at MiddIebury
Boston Transcript

They have summer school of Ian
guages at the little college town of
Middlebury, VT, and it is interesting to
see that it is very strong in its German
department, which is under the direc-
ton of lady from Heidelberg. 1t is
one of the peculiarties of this German
department that the students, who are
about forty in number, are not permit
ted to speak any other language than
German from breakfast to bed time-so
that the streets of the Green Mountain
village now resound with the accent of
the Fatherland. The directress of the
school, with due zeal for the thorough
ness of her system, has announced her
intention to 'create a German atmos-
phere' in Middlebury. With such an
atmosphere already prevalent at the
University of Vermont, the Green
Mountain region must almost imagine
itself, in these days, part of the
SchWarzwald or the Erzgebirge. And
all this is the more strange, since the
casual visitor to Vermont nowadays is
constantly impressed with the intense
hostility of the population to everything
German. Whatever the reasons for the
special development of German school
asticism in Vermont may be, the
teachers and organizers Of the Ger
man atmosphere" they may do their
country real service by teaching
nothing but the sentiment and the liter
ature of the old Germany the Germany
of Luther of Winckelmann, of Weiland,
of Goethe, of Schiller, of Heine- the
lyrical and artistic Germany, not the
Germany of Weltmacht.

The Vermont district board of ap-

war service represents five branches of
activity and is thus well distributed.
w. N Cady of Middlebury represents
the agricultural interests and is one of
the most promising farmers in the state :;
Henry Conlin of Colchester is a lawyer
of Winooski village and has long been
an influential man in matters pertain
ing to the judiciary; &. o. Gridley of
Windsor is manufactures, and, in ad-
dtion, law-maker, having been in the
most recent legislature; Alexander
lronside of Barre represents the labor
men Of Vermont and, by his long asso-
citation with those matters, is convers-
ant with that phase; DR.. H. c. Tink-
ham of Burlington is, of course, the
medical man on the board and good
one, 100. Taken altogether, the board
recommended by Governor Graham and
appointed by President Wilson is in a
position to perform its work well.
