had been made against the institution,
has made a fair, impartial and candid

a single one of the charges which

(RutIand Herald.)
The closed and guarded doors of the
Vermont senate presented a strange
appearance to the people of Vermont
Friday.
Executive sessions are nothing new
but an executive session in which a
Justice Of the supreme court of the
state delivers important information to
the senate, sitting as 2 committee OF
the whole, Is novel, TO put il mildly.
The Herald believes such informa-
tion belongs to the people and vitally
affects them. If, as the official reports
state, the information concerned the
district court bill, pending before the
senate, then certainly the people have
right to know it. 1t is their prop
erty,
The senate will gain nothing bv
closing its doors while discussing pub
lie questions. The idea is repugnant
to every instinct of honesty and fair
dealing. 1t is offensive to our old
fashioned neighborlv method of han
ding legislative problems.
Furthermore, the Herald can see NJ
reason whatever why the supreme court

If Justice Taylor appeared as a pri-
waite citizen. he was clearly within hi.
RIGHTS. If he appeared as spokesman
for the supreme court of Vermont, III;
people of Vermont are entitled to know
what he said.
| Such right and title would seem t
| he clearly indicated by Article 6 o
/ Chapter ! of the constitution, which
| reads thus:
''That all power being originally in
! herent IN aud consequently derive,
from the people, therefore, all officer
of government. whether legislative o
executive. are their trustees and serv
ants and at all times in a legal way
\ accountable to them.

or any other children s ailment, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in few hours
all this constipated poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you will have a
well, playful child again. A thorough

is necessary. 1t should be the first
treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask

HOME GARDENS THIS YEAR.

The cost of food for the average fam
ilv is said to have increased from
1889 80 year in 1918 to $425.54 at the
present time-and economists say the
worst is yet to come.
With the possible exception of some
South American countries, the United
states is the only country producing
more food material than it needs.
Throughout the rest of the world some
100000 men have been withdrawn
from their accustomed occupations,
largely agricultural, and are producing
nothing. while they destroy and con
sumo food in large quantities. Add to
this the general shortage of crops the
past year and the fact that farm labor
i'm America has already been drawn up
on for munition work and in the near
future may be rendered even more
scarce by call for volunteers for mill
4 tary servicc,--au we may readily see
/ that serious situation lies ahead of us
as a nation aud as individuals.
There is a solution, however, for 6
large part Of the problem. The solu
tion is the home garden-the growing
of vegetables by every family for theil
own use in their own back yard or OF
land adjacent to their homes. In al
open country town this is comparatively
simple, and in n great many cases i
is the customary practice. In TIN
crowded cities it is not so easy. but tn,
utilization of vacant lots will go
long way toward providing garden plot
for city people.
"Back to the soil is likely TO b
the popular movement this spring
and of course it will not be very niue
Of a hardship, because it means out-oi
door exercise, new knowledge of ne
turc S ways, and fresh vegetables fo
the table ut small cost.

and they got all the little BreezeS,
their grandchildren, to work with
them.
They visited the lakes and made the
waves dance and roar with glee. They
talked to all the trees and got them
shaking with laughter and waving
about in high excitement.
Everywhere they went they laughed
and joked with all the things they
met-the shrubs, trees, rivers, and
even the shutters on the outside of
windows.
What time they did have with the
shutters! They told them such jokes,
that the shutters almost fell off laugh
ing. And shutters always shake and
rattle with laughter when the North

other wind. And how he does enjoy

The cold plunge is a modern inven-
ton with goose pimple attachments. 1t
is the most successful method yet de
vised Of bringing the red blood 10 the
surface Of the body, and along with it
an erect cluster of bristling goose
pimples.
II is not known definitely just who
invented the cold plunge, and it is prob
able that the man who thought of it

secret to the world. Our ancestors did
not believe in the cold bath to any
great extent, preferring to reeline

water from the cook stove. As civiliZa-
tion advanced in knowledge and eul-
ture, however, and the advantages Of
the semi occasional bath became known
| the doctors began to prescribe the ant
arctic plunge for people of low vitality
who had reached the point where they
would welcome death in any form.
