Gold Found in Vermont!
elm Tree Monthly. J

The information that Cold, and gold
in paying quantities, has at last been dis
covered in Vermont" will not startle
Bridgewater, Plymouth, or other nearby
sections which have passed through sew
eral gold-fevers and have prospected and
panned and mined for the stuff at great
expense and to the ruin of fair landscape.
Gold is always being found in Vermont
a little can be scratched up almost any
where, but not enough to pay ordinary
day wages.
The scene of the alleged discovery
is in Bolton. in Chittenden county, where
an excitable farmer has sold his place IL
order to buy the gold bearing property
on which he says, he has found nuggets
''as big as peas. This will not stampede
the examiners of Windsor county, either
| Up in Bridgewater there are roads paved
with pay rock ore running as high as ter
thousand dollars ton has been found
but this was not enough to make a success
of the diggings.

Lemons Beauty!
Strain lemon juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
reck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an mex
pensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness, softness, whiteness and
beauty.
The juice of two lemons strained
into bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifer at about the cost one must
pay for small jar of the ordinary
cold creams. Care should be taken to
strain the lemon juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for months
Every woman knows that lemon juice
| is used to bleach and remove such blem-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan
and is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener and beautifer
Just try it! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage il
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands, and see for yourself.-Ad

sidered possible a deeade.-ago. Forty
two Of the AZ cities of the state will
vote on the question of liquor licenses
next April. Twenty per cent of the
present licensed liquor places will &c
out of business in October, as a result
of the amended excise law, and an ad

fees and the federal prohibition of the

While The Reformer regrets as much
as anyone that it has seemed necessary
to the war department to split the Yer
mont regiment it cannot share the opin-
ion of some newspapers that it is an
outrage or ''fool move Solely with
a view to military efficiency the depart
ment has decided to reorganize the
United States army on the European
standard, which requires $500 men in
a regiment To accomplish this drastic
changes are necessary, but these
changes are being made with apparen
impartiality, and it is hardly for an,
of us to say at this time that they ar
unwise or i'll considered. The wises
course is to consider them simply as
part of the all-important scheme of max
ing the world safe for democracy.

LEGAL Opinion Of Poker.

4 judge in Johannesburg, South At
RIGA, was recently required to give
judgment in q case which involved a
decision as to whether poker is an I'M
lawful game. The case arose out of
q raid on premises known as the Greek
National club. The magistrate held
that, although poker might not be a
card game of mere chance, it was GER
tainly not q game of mere skill, and he
quoted English authorities to the eff
feet that a game of cards which was
not game of mere skill was unlawful.
AS this was the first case wherein
poker was involved. he imposed fine
of S25 on the two men accused OF
keeping the gambling house in Ques-
ton.

If the coat fits yoa. put Il on"

There is more than usual public in
terest in the propositions that are to
come up for settlement at the special
town meeting tomorrow evening. This
does not mean that they are sure to pro-
vide lively discussion, because it fire.
quently happens that matters i'll which
there is widespread interest are settled
with little or no oratory, but it indi-
Gates without much question a large
attendance at the meeting. What will
happen to the various articles that com
pose the warrant is difficult to predict,
for public sentiment concerning them
seems to be at the mercy of conflicting
considerations. AS far as the proposed
public Improvements are concerned it is
generally admitted that they ought tt
be made, but people who under ordinary
conditions would not hesitate to favor
them are just now asking themselye:
how far the town ought to go in this di
rection. The recent distribution of
| tax bills has brought home to a lot o
| folks the fact that war is expensive anC
far-reaching in its effects.

The goats were In the zoo and they
had rocky outdoor places to live in.
There were little homes inside the ami
NAL house for them too, but the
weather was fine and warm and they
loved the outdoor air.
Some of the goats had beautiful
horns, some hadn't, some had longer
| fur than others.
| But all of them were being fed BY
children who were passing by and
watching them. In the spring they had
been sheared and lovely new hair or
fur had taken the place of the old.
They were bleating like sheep and
the children thought they were lovely
"Oh, how I'd love to have one," said
little girl named Trixie who had
come to visit the animals. She held
the hand of her grandfather, and she
squeezed 1t little as she thought o.

Now the goat was trying to tel
Trixie that his name was Billy-a yer,

very nice and sensible name
He was also trying to ask her t,
admire his beautiful horns and his lon

to make the country more careful in
conserving its supply of timber. The
lumber cut of the present year will, it
is said, fall far below that of 1916,
which was estimated to be so per cent
greater than the growth of the trees,
it is predicted that the 1918 cut will
be still less There is no doubt that the
labor shortage is seriously affecting
numbering operations throughout the
country. Wages for woodsmen in Maine
range from three dollars day upward
and one big pulp concern in that state
keeps a standing advertisement in the
Maine newspapers calling for a thou
sand men.

How hopelessly swamped in debt Ger
many will be when the war is over is
calculated by the New York Evening
Post in figures showing that if the war
lasts through 1917 the German debt will
have increased $23,500, 100000 during
the war OF this the 5 per cent interest
rate and a sinking fund of l per cent
to per cent would leave an annual
charge of about $1,5O0, 000,0 a year
after peace. This is i'll mad contrast
with the total annual revenue of slight
~ over $920,000,000 before the war and
spells absolute bankruptcy.

As the matter now stands the town has
in one sense received good value for
what it has spent on this sidewalk but
until the stretch just built is connected
with that on the upper end of Vernon
street neither piece will serve its full
usefulness.
=, There is no question that everyone in
town who is entitled to the name of
American is anxious that the Brattle-
boro boys who have volunteered for war
service be provided with every possible
comfort. And if money is needed to
provide that comfort it ought to be
raised cheerfully by those who stay at
home. Whether the term company
fund" is strictly applicable, now that
the Vermont regiment has been split
| up, is a question that seems to be solved
| by the wording of the resolution which
is>to be introduced at tomorrow night s
meeting for the purpose of securing
an appropriation equivalent to . per
cent of the grand list. The idea is to
place this money, which would amount
to approximately $1,000, in the hands
of Col. j. G. Estey as trustee. He would
have entire charge of its disbursement
and in this way the money could be
used for the purpose for which it would
be intended without regard to the even
tual assignment of the boys who have
heretofore been together in Company

him little cart with a seat for Trixie

jumped into her cart, and Billy was
