POSTAGE Stamps and Germs.

By wetting the gum on the stamp
with the tongue is the way disease may
be spread by a postage stamp. 1t has
been established by experimentation
IN laboratories that postage stamps do
carry germs. In forty-eight tests out
of total Of fly bacteria were found.
The fact that in only two cases were
the germs of a malignant type Goes
not lessen in any degree the danger

Contagious Abortion.

Stockmen and dairymen are urged
in a new Farmers Bulletin, No. 100,
to inaugurate systematic campaign
against tagious abortion.
Already the annual losses from this
disease amount to millions of dollars
and unless it's ravages are checked it
is apt to equal tuberculosis, which is
now thought to stand first among ami
NAL diseases in point of economic
loss.
Details of the disease and it's treat
ment are given in the bulletin re-
ferred to, which may be secured upon

PRICE-MARKED VOTES.

At first thought the Monitor saw
no great harm and possibly some JUS
tice, in the bill before the legislature
which would allow anyone paying
taxes on a list of $4,000 or over to
vote in town meeting on town mat
ters, but the more we think of it the
more the bill appears unworthy of
place on our statute books. In the
first place it is letting down the bars
of government to those who have
taken no obligations of government
upon themselves. To be sure it is
the smallest unit of government but
the principle is the same. 1t is easy
to imagine communities where it
would be perfectly possible for an alb
solutely foreign element to govern
town matters. What reason is there
why any man who wants to vote in
town meeting cannot take out his
naturalization papers and become a
real citizen of the United States? To
be sure it is a little trouble and it
takes some time, but so do all things
that are really worth while.
This bill has a particular interest
to northern Vermont we should say
since there is such an influx of Cana
dian farm purchasers. We welcome
these people to our country, but the
vote, that is too sacred thing to be
given in return for a money value.
Shall we later say that a poll-tax
payer only shall have no vote in town
meeting? Or shall we continue to
say that a citizen may vote in our
governmental affairs but no others I?
The vote here is sovereign Shall it
be measured by gold?

Newport and West Derby a city!
Well, why not? Vergennes has pop
ulation of 1880 and Vergennes is a
city. Newport and West Derby had
1857 souls in 1910 and easily has
over 1000 now, perhaps nearly 5000.
At any rate Newport and West Derby
combined as a city could claim dis
tinction as being the next smallest
city in Vermont.
1t is strange commentary on our
laws, or on corporate sense of justice
or on human nature, that munitions,
automobiles and ether freight of a
similar nature receives precedence
over such necessities of life and COM
fort as coal. Several Vermont towns
report coal shortage which is little
less than a famine and yet munitions
must be shipped and trainloads of
automobiles carried.

Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel Use It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be

When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need dose of dangerous calomel
just remember that your druggist sells
for few cents large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days

it to the children because it is, perfectly
harmless and doesn't grippe.

William Fox s Sensational Pho
to-Drama Tells the Story-Do
You Know Your Neighbor?

It's the unusual that cuts the
great big figure. And William
Fox has attained it in The Spy
the timely, sensational photo
drama exposing the operations Of
Germany's Secret Police in the
United States.
Do you know your neighbor?
No; not always. Do you know
that the Prussians have 10000
foreign emissaries lurking and
scheming in this country? Every
day the newspapers have stories
to the effect that important state
secrets, information of military
movements and operations of the
naval vessels reach the head of
Germany's Secret Police in Ber-
lin.
Do you know your neighbor?
Are you sure that the man who
lives next door or the man who
rides down to the office with you
in the morning is not one OF the
Kaiser's paid hirelings? Are you
certain he is not one of those
spies who transmit this import
ant information to the capital OF
Germany?
Do you know that Prussia s
agents at one time planned to
blow UP the Brooklyn and other
bridges, the Hudson Tubes, the
Subways and the water supply.
thereby cutting New York off
from other parts Of the country?
Fortunately, these facts were
discovered in time. THE esprit

American to the Coronado sac
rifces for his country, making it
possible for President Wilson to
get in his possession list Of spies

many of whom were prominent
socially. ~
All this is told in pictures by
William Fox in one Of the Great

there is not battle scene in it.
"The Spy" is photo-drama, and
Dustin Farnum. as Mark Quain-
lance, the rich and petted society
man is the hero-who braved the
horrors of Berlin's prisons-the
man who served his country in its
time of need.

HEARSTS' CANDIDATE WINS

The New York city election
brings to a close a campaign
which will 60 down in history as
famous for a degree of foulness
and falsehood not reached with
IN a generation Of American poll
tics.
The worst enemy of young
Mayor Mitchell could scarcely
have wished for him the humili-
ating defeat which has been ac-
corded him at the hands of the
voters of the great city of New
York. He was in control of the
government of the city. He had
the active support during his
campaign of former presidents
Roosevelt and Taft, Of Charles
Hughes, and of the great Morgan
and Rockefeller interests. The
press of New York, with the ex-
ception of the Hearst newspapers
and one or two foreign language
papers supported Mitchell solidly.
The society, club and financial
element was with him almost to
a man. He had everything that
money could buy. In addition,
he is a young man of attractive
personality, good speaker, an
active, hardworking, rather pic
turesque, Well-advertised public
man.
The reason for Mitchell s defeat
was William Randolph Hearst.
For some twenty years Hearst
has championed the cause OF the
plain people of New York. Tie
is a man of liberal and progress
sive views. Clean, brave and I'M
purchaseable. And Hearst has
won the confidence of the people
who read his papers and who
know his views. He elected
Mitchell to office on a progressive
platform. Mitchell was practl-
cally unknown youth when Hearst
took him up and commended him
to the voters of New York. Then,
as Mitchel's administration de-
veloped, he lost the support of
the Hearst papers. Mr.. Hearst
came out against Mitchell for re-
election, claiming that Mitchell
had attempted to betray the in
terests of the people of New York
to the New York Central Railway
and to other public service cor
porations owned or controlled BY
the house of Morgan, the Wander
bilt and Rockefeller interests.
Immediately Mitchell attacked
his Democratic opponent. Hylan,
raising the cry that he was being
opposed by Hearst. Hylan and
Hohenzollern, the idea being that
as the Kaiser is at present very
unpopular in America, loyal
Americans might be bullied. black

Even engineers have little con-
ception of the magnitude of Camp
Pike. They do not stop to con-
slider that it is a city of 10000
people, and will soon be almost
double that population. Other
wise the contractors who are
erecting the cantonment would
not receive from men, who are
supposed to know, such ridiculous
requests as have recently been
made.
One engineer has written ask
ing that he be kept advised on
the rapidity with which water and
sewer lines are laid. There are
over 20 miles of water and sewer
pipes in Camp Pike. These were
laid by dozens Of gangs. workin
in many parts of the camp at the
same time. They fairly ate the
ground as they flew along. TIE
engineer did not care to have ac-
curate daily measurements, but
he would like to have it stepped
off. This would keep one man
stepping pretty lively, for in or

he would have to 60 over the en-
tire twenty miles daily.

encourages the men to write
home, and has made thousands OF
mothers glad there is such all or

The big thing about the \
buildings is the large open fire
place. Here the men gather n
the evening, pop corn, roast pea
nuts, and tell yarns. The at

the stories are always wholesome
and the young man spends an
evening that is edifying, instead
of joining the sidewalking throng

one squad has done it correctly,
and thoroughly, by closing all
gaps and establishing line Of COM
munication, it gives way to anota-
er, but the same poor old oak
saplings must bear the brunt of
the fighting in each attack, and
will until the land like bayone1s
have laid them low.
No matter how rocky may be
the road to Berlin, the truck
driver trained at Camp Pike is
going to get there. Intensive
training is the essential theme at
Camp Pike, and no matter what
department the man is in, he is
going to get it.
Camp Pike is seven miles from
Little Rock. The Camp site was
formerly farms and rolling tim
Der land. There was a very re-
spectacle community road, with a
firm, rock foundation. leading by
the site when it was selected, but
it took the army trucks only a
few weeks to cut this into shreds.
All supplies had to be carried
over this road until the railroad
was completed in the remarkable
time Of three weeks.
The Government, state and
county then decided to fix this
road so that it would stand any
amount of traffic, and a contract
was let for an asphalt pavement.
As the travel to the cantonment
was so heavy. only portions Of the
road could be closed at a time, the
vehicles being turned out onto
fields. rocky hillsides and mushly
places that soon developed ruts
more than hub deep.
Ordinarily such road would
have had retarding influence on
transportation to the camp, but
the condition was the very thing
the commissary department
looked for. The roads in France,
Russia, Italy, and other fronts are
noted in dispatches for their al
most absolute impassability
These officers knew that drivers
of trucks would be helpless If
they had no experience with ter
rible roads before going across.
IL there is now truck driver in
the camp who cannot shut his eyes
and follow any kindef road he
has not been an apt pupil, or any
kind of pupil at all. The off
GERS required the drivers to use
these byways long after the pike
road had been completed, to
drive across it with loaded trucks.
and without a load, and certain
time was given for the journey.
No, roads will not interfere with
the Camp Pike driver when he
gets into the big game.
