A GOOD MOVE

There is a bill before the legislature
to put water companies under the
jurisdiction Of the public service com
mission the same as gas companies,
power companies and other public SER
vice corporations, and the bill ought to
become law. There was never any
good reason why water companies
were not included in the first place.
Here in Bennington, because of the
unusual circumstances of the case, the
issue has never been raised but in
many towns the local water company
is in constant friction either with the
municipality or the public and 1t would
be better for the companies and bet
ter for their patrons to have some
board or tribunal authorized TO hear
grievances and settle disputes that
may arise. The public service com
mission is formed and provided for
that purpose and water supply COM
panics should be placed under its jur-
isdiction. Evening Banner.

Those who fear that the use Of cold
cream or skin food will induce a
growth Of surplus hair can substitute
warm milk. This should be applied
In exactly the same manner as the
creams.
If you value complexion never use
hard water with which to wash Hard
water contains mineral salts such as
lime, which when combined with the
fatty acids Of the soap form what Is
known as stearate Of lime. This clogs
up the pores and makes them large
and open and coarsens the skin. Should
rainwatcr not be available soften the
hard water with borax or oatmeal.
Ii you are bent on trying to have n
beautiful mouth do not fall into the
error Of assuming a continuous grin.
Muscles that are always kept on the
stretch finally lose their original con-
tour. and wrinkles result.

TAKE A TIP FROM NATURE

The Public Health Service at Wash
ington has issued . bulletin on nerv-
Gus diseases and other tendencies to
shorten life, in which there is stun
ming plea against worrying
$50 far as is known, no bird ever
tried to build more nests than its
neighbor. No fox ever fretted be-
cause he had only one hole in which to
hide No squirrel ever died Of anxiety
lest he should not lay up enough nuts
for two winters instead Of for one, and
no dog ever lost any sleep over the
fact that he did not have enough bones
laid aside for his declining years"
The man who has a dozen or more
suits Of clothes, but can wear only one
at time, is apt to have source of
worry from which the squirrel is free.
The woman who has dozen or more
gorgeous hats, and worries as to which
plume or feather suits her costume
and complexion best might take a tip
from the bird, whose feathers at least
become ii.
There is endless indication that
mankind let's its surplus intelligence
get in the way of its happiness. The
birds, the squirrels, the flowers and
the brooks laugh always. II is only
mankind that ever worries or is mel
ancholy; and the worry and melan-
choly come from intelligence that isn't
true, from information that itsn't so,
from facts that are distorted. We
know too much tina, isn't worth while.

NATIONAL FORESTS

The suggestion of President Thomas
that there should be a large national
forest in the Green Mountains, is
timely, and worthy Of the careful con-
sidcration of the Legislature. 1t is
well for the people Of the State to con-
slider whether they will have large
areas of State owned forests like New
York, and strong forestry depart
ment, or whether they win encourage
the ownership Of national forest lands
rs in New Hampshire. Before the
Government can buy any forest lands
IN any state it is necessary for tn
legislature Of the state to pass an En-
aiding act. New Hampshire and Maine
are the only New England States
which have passed such acts. Two
years ago the state forester brought
this matter to the attention of the
Vermont Legislature with special ref
crence to Essex County, which has the
largest area of unbroken forest. At
that time the members of the House
from that County opposed the idea Of
national forest because it would re-
duce the taxes of the towns affected.
The Government pays into the county
treasury 25 per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts from a national forest located
in a county, but of course the receipts
from cut over forests would be small
for a number of years. In the case Of
state forests the state pays taxes to
the towns just as private owner.
Undoubtedly the main Gren Mountain
range should be under public owner
ship Of some kind.

The New Sweaters.

Angora wool knitted sweaters,
whether coat shape or MILDLY blouse
contour. are very ample in the skirt
part. They often. too. are held into
the figure, at the waist, by apron
string straps of the same materials,
which are wound about several times.
Two colors are used In the same
sweater, the border on hem, collar and
cuffs contrasting with the sweater col
or, as a garnet sweater with three
inch yellow border.
The silk sweaters follow the same
lines. especially as TO flaring skirt por-
tons, and, If MILDLY blouse shapes,
have string straps to tie about the neck
under the collar.

The first one was when the immense

Co. at kingsland, n. j., burned and in

four inch shrapnel shells exploded.
The other occurred the next day in

n half million pounds Of high explo-
sives blew up. Strange to relate the
loss of life was small, only two losing
their lives.
