VERMONT NOTES

The novelty shop at Jericho has so
many orders that night force is
necessary.
The apportionment of $1O,OOO,O0O
to aid the states in the construction
of rural post roads, the second annual
distribution in accordance with the
federal aid road law, has been an
nounced. Vermont receives sac, 688;
New Hampshire, $41,993; Maine,
$96,9O3; Massachusetts,, $147,7O1.
1t is claimed that Stacey Clark of
Montpelier, by throwing 20 baskets
from the floor in game of basket
ball Wednesday evening of last week,
made a worlds record for the num-
Der of baskets thrown in any one
game by one player The game was
between Montpelier and Hartford
high schools.
Rev. Benjamin Swift, for ten years
pastor of the congregational church
in Woodstock, rendered his resigna-
ton Sunday, to take effect May 1. 1t
is understood that Mr. Swift has
made no effort to find another pastor
ate and has no definite plans for the
future except to take an extended
rest after "a successive years at the
ministerial task"
Probably one of the record figures
as to the amount involved, for a Yer
mont auction was when the formulas
stock and good will of the Guild Med
icine company of Rupert, which man
ufactures an asthma cure, was sold
for $4,000, to Ella C. Roberts, two
per cent of the price to be cash on the
spot and the balance to be paid in ten
days in coin of the realm.
The resignation of Col. Ira L.
Reeves of the First Infantry, Yer
mont National Guard, has been &C.
copied by Gov. Horace F. Graham. A
mail ballot for the election of his sue
cessor has been ordered. Lieut.. Col
Fred Thomas has been second in COM
mand of the regiment and is in direct
line for promotion. The ranking ma
jor is Major Tinker of St. Johnsbury
1t has been suggested that it might be
possible to have Major Frank Thomp-
kins Of the regular army, now on duty
at Norwich university, detailed by the
war department to command the
regiment. He was in command of
the troopers first sent after Villa and
was in command OF the American
troops in the Parral fight.

Closed Windows and the Grip.

What is called ''the closed window
season" is reaping harvest in the
way of grip and pneumonia in Yer
mont and according to physicians,
the inhabitants dislike for ventila-
ton when the thermometer is low is
the main contributing factor.
DR.. G. F. Dalton, secretary Of the
Vermont state board of health, de-
scribes the situation. A house with
out proper ventilation is particularly
encouraging to those diseases which
are thrown off in the respiratory pro-
cess and the germs of which thrive
indefinitely on stale air. The best
preventive is oxygen and the only
way to get that is to let a proper
amount of outdoors in, he says. Even
if the sleeping room is not heated it
is better to incur some disagreeable
cold on getting out of bed than to in
hale the same air all night.
The history of the grip and xdiseas-
es of the same character is apparent.
A person having any of the Affections
sneezes, coughs or even breathes in a
room and the germs are sent out.
They thrive on the WORKOUT air and
sooner or later another person or the
same person inhales them and, with
no oxygen to kill the germs, becomes
afflicted.
Grip, pneumonia and the others
render the person all the more likely
to another affection as they weaken
the resistance power. They are en-
tirely different from measles and
some other diseases which in their
progress develop a sort of antidote
which in nearlv all cases prevents a
recurrence of the disease.

Odd North English Dialect.

a strange set of numerals was used
by the elder generation Of farmers in
one of our northern dales, especially
for counting sheep, and the procedure
was as follows:
A gap was made in the wall just
wide enough to admit one sheep at a
time, and as the sheep were driven
through the farmer counted them,
making a notch in his stick at every
fifteen.
Phonetically the numerals sound like
yam, tame, tether, neither, pip, sax,
sane, caterer, wheeler, dick, yann-er-
dick, tane-erdick, teth-er-dick. neither
er-dick, boomfit.'
