SWee: Odors ALWAYS Popular.

From the very earliest ages man has
loved sweet odOrs. III the Bible we
read of the burning of incense on the
affairs and the very word perfumery
(under which head we may include all
delicate fumes or smells) comes from
the Latin fumus. smoke or vapor. The
early Egyptians knew the use of the
still, and adapted 1t to the separation
of the odorous principle from fragrant
plants, but the most ancient odors
were drawn from natural gums, such
as camphor, myrrh and cinnamon.

LETTER TO MERCHANTS.
Urged to Take More Active Part In
Food Conservation Campaign.

TO the Retail Merchants of Vermont
The food administration saws repeat
edly food will win the war; That
statement inspires the questions of how
and why. Therefore the problem is one
of education
The American method of conserva
ton depends upon the democratic prin-
clple of voluntary service. Everyone

in his home kitchen other foods-iust

tials can be shipped abroad.
Vermont retail merchants have an
important and valuable duty to per-
form in aiding the vital work of the
United States food administration. They
must realize that this is primarily an
effort of self preservation. Unless peo-
nie voluntarily follow the requests of
the food administration it NAV be nee
essary to enforce demands that will
mean actual self denial.
In order to keep business as usual
the merchant must enroll his entire
forces IN the campaign of education

Big Events in Small Territory.

Perhaps it is because the maps from
which children used to learn Bible
geography were on large scale that
most of US have failed to realize how
narrow were the limits within which
took place all those great doings that
fill the books of Samuel and Kings.
Just in the same way the classical
scholar who visits Greece is surprised
that so small a territory sufficed for
SO many striking incidents and for
the careers Of SO many famous men.

 While the chief contests fin central states electing full state tickets have been between democrats and republicans, the non-partisan league has been active in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Da- kota and Nebraska.
 Senator James Hamilton Lewis has made a campaign of Illinois for re-elec- tion over Medill Mccormack, republican, pleading that President Wilson wants him elected to indorse the war pro- gramme.

 Captain Thompson is receiving the ie- licitation of the city. for every one knows the fiery hell that this famous pocket was in from the 14th of July to early Tn August, and none but brave men such as he and his gallant Company II, ana the Rainbow division, will ever be aple to write this part of the worlds history correctly, giving first-hand facts.
 It was an officer of this same famous Prussian guards, after being captured py the Rainbow division, who said, tear fully that that was the frs time in the history of his guards they had ever been stopped by rifle fire.
 The world now knows that this orve will be written in history, says Captain Thompson, as the turning point of the world war It Is impossible, he says, to describe it
