Montpelier Grip. /

Some medical men who have attend
ed homecoming members of the Legis
lature are inclined to add new dis
ease to their anthology For. pracu
cal purposes, they might call it Mont
pelier grip" e.s "a goa
Montpelier grip in a form OF infiuen
20 that frequently attacks members
and attaches. of the Legislature during
the third month of the session. 1t be
gins with sore throat spreads into the
throat and nasal passages, affects the
eyes and ears and often settles on the
lungs.
Directly or indirectly, much OF the
illness of members of the Legislature
is traceable to this form of grip. and
its peculiarly, tenacious qualities
have resulted in serious illness and
death in some cases. Perhaps 10 per
cent of the membership has been af-
fected one way or the other.
The habit of life forced on legisla-
tors is largely responsible for the ease
with which grip bacilli find Judgement
and develop serious conditions.
A majority of the members are mon
of active lives at home. They rise
and breakfast early, exercise freely,
eat hearty meal at neon, good
supper and seldom are sick. AT Mont
pelier. sthey rise later, eat a hearty
breakfast, take little exercise, sit in
their places from 10 to IL, eat another
big meal, then sit again in the after
noon.
Supper is an important meal, fol-
lowed by the movies, az a rule, and
still very little exercise, SO that, one
day and another, the men eat as
much food as they do at home-per-
haps more-and soon get their sys-
tens into clogged and sluggish con-
dition that means infection, sooner or
late.
With elimination partly suspended
and the germs of dust and other i'm
purities constantly in their nostrils,
it is not much wonder that they fall
sick, as many of them do.
The athletic member who gets up
bowling teams does a great deal Of
good, and if gymnasium classes could
be developed at Montpelier during the
session it would keep the legislators
from being sick and do much to ward
off Montpelier grip and other diseases.
Incidently, the European practice
of serving a light breakfast, mod
crate lunch and dinner at night would
help things a trifie.
All visitors at Montpelier during a
session of the Legislature eat too
much, many of them drink and smoke
too much, and nearly all of them stay
indoors too much. Hence bad elimina-
ton, toxic poisoning, grip and other
serious complications.
Montpelier is only partly response
BILE for Montpelier grip. Many of the
members have themselves to blame if
they bring it home with them

Committee on Public Information sub
stantially the came advice AS Mr.
Coffin's name is one of the most
prominent in the mobilization Of the
industrial resources of the country he
is entitled to respectful attention.
Injunctions to economy have been
frequent of late. and so far as those
injunctions mean the stoppage OF
waste there could be nothing more
timely, But stringency in business
would be a very poor economy. The
business Of the country should so on
with as much fullness and force and
freedom as ever. particularly so be-
cause so much energy will be neces-

sarily diver ted to the production of
munitions and supplies made neces
sary by the condition of war.
This is time Scr public and p. indi-
vidual confidence The United States
is big enough to bear any burden that
will be placed upon it. Its financial,
industrial and commercial resources
are marvelously competent to meet
any demand 1t is a time for every
one TO stand to his own place, do his
own work and have his own faith in
the ultimate result. General prosperi-
ty is always based on individual con-
fldence 1t is no time for the hermit
or the miser Oh the alarmist or the
neurasthenic. Let life go right along
in the same cid way of activity and
confidence, and not only will the
stimulous of the normally circulating
blood be felt in the arms of the
country, but it will make the entire
body polite capable to resist any at
tact.
Foreign countries have given a
lesson in this respect. Instead OF
shrinkage in business operations
every effort has been put forth to
keep things going while the fighting
men are away at the war. Even in
provinces which have been the
theatre of the lighting itself business
activity has gone along with the war
fare in a most surprising way That
is the spirit which brings success in
war and in peace.
To close factories or stop public and
private works or withdraw bank de-
posts or cease meeting legitimate
needs by purchases woald be just that
condition of business anemia which
no healthy and red.blooded person
would propose to bring about. Uncle
Sam is all right and has no fear of his
future. His boys and girls should
share his calm assurance. Faith, con-
lidence, normal business, these are
the words that represent the eagle
spirit of America, which does not flop
to the ground with nerveless fear but
continues it's high fight even through
the clouds of battle.-Troy Times.

The Kid Has Gone to The coIors.


The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him child, baby
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has answered the call
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered
Gomez"
The Kid, not being a Stacker.
Stood forth with patriot joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's a man, soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered
His mother-God bless her.-cried
Yet. blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with mother-pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened
Was Granddad-for memory ran
To years when he too, youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to man!

One of the most sensible injunctions
issued during the crisis that has been
thrust upon the country is the advice
of Howard f. Coffin, member of the
advisory committee of the council of
national defence and which appears
in another column of this paper His
admonition that the country should
not enter upon a period of pessimis-
tic skimping merely because it has got
a big job en- its hands is particularly
timely just now Individual contrac-
tion must necessarily result in con
traction Of bushes and a nation is not
in a condition to handle any such
problem as a war with Germany when
its industries are not in a prosper
Gus condition. Americans are natur-
ally wasteful people and any steps
that may be taken to correct this
characteristic are TO be commend
ed Actual waste at any time Is lit
tie short of criminal but there are
kinds of economy that are almost as
bad. In order that the United States
may weather the storm through which
it has begun to struggle the lives of
cur people must be kept as closely as
possible in normal channels. 1t means
more work for ALL suffering for
many, but it should not result in
bringing us down from the high plane
we have attained under the best gov
eminent that was ever created.
America has become great nation
because her people have had the OPP
portunity to aspire and attain the bet
ter things of life. For us to admit
that we must retrograde to a lower
level of living because of the task
that has come to us would be to ac-
knowledge a weakness we have never
yet shown. The war with Germany
means more work, greater produc
ton, increased energy and much sac
rifice. 1t does not mean short, COM
mons or lessened self respect-any4
how. not at this stage of the game.
