Wilson Docked Three Days Pay.

A subscriber recently brought to
the Office a 1911 paper in which was
the following:
Governor Woodrow Wilson received
jolt today when his salary check for
June, as executive of the state, was
delivered to him.
The governor noticed that he was
"short" about $50. He concluded right
away that some mistake had. occurred
and he sent for John Riker, clerk in
the state treasurer's office. The gov
ernor called the attention of the clerk
! to the error and said he would like to
have it rectifed He was amazed
when told there had been no "error"
in the making of the check. Riker
said the governor had been Checked"
for three days in June, when he was
finishing his western trip.
Riker, when he went to the COVER
nor's office took the precaution to for
tify himself with copy of the state
constitution and he read that part of
it which applied to the governors
salary. There is a provision in the
constitution which says that during
the absence Of the governor from the
state, the president of the senate
shall be the acting governor, and shall
receive the financial benefits of the
office while so acting.
The clerk informed the governor
that for the three days in June that
the executive was away from the
state capital Senator Alderman per-
formed his duties and the state treas
urer had sent the salary for those
three days to President Alderman,
the remainder Of the months salary
being paid to the governor.
This is the second time that the
governor has been locked since he
was elected. The first time was when
he was away during the greater part
Of May on his western trip.

THE Making OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub.
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine il sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Time Is the Test
The Testimony of Barton People
Stands the Test.

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
Misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test of
time.
Barton people appreciate merit, and
many months ago local citizens pub
licly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do so still. Would citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was just
as represented? Below is testimony
such as the sufferer from kidney ills
is looking for.
Mrs. E. C.. Wilkie, High ST., Bar
ton says: 81 had severe pains in
my back and other symptoms of kid
ney trouble. ! knew of many people
who had been cured by Doan's Kid
ney pills and I tried them. Three
boxes Of this medicine removed the
trouble"
Mrs. Wilkie gave the above state
ment September a, 1908 and on Octo-
Der 9, 1916, she added: when I need
q kidney medicine I use Doan's Kid
ney pills and they certainly give ex-
cellent results. ! am glad to re-en-
dorse them"

For Vermont Church Unity.

Recently the Baptist, Congrega-
tional and Methodist churches of the
state received a jointly signed letter
from their superintendent and secre-
taries, which strongly calls attention
to the imperative work before the
churches during these days of recon-
struction and suggests definite chang
es IN emphasis and in methods that
will enable the churches to do their
work adequately.
Among the suggestions are these:
That there be a clear re-statement
and glowing proclamation of the es.
sential Christian message and that
non-essential details be omitted
that the new spirit of service and of
giving developed by the war be trans
ferred to the church and kindred ac-
tivities of peace time; that religious
education in the Sunday school, the
pastors class and the home be radi
cally improved and invigorated; that
the church carry out in each commune
ty broad and vital program Of COM
munity service, especially to meet the
needs of the returning soldiers; that
there be strong support of the pro-
posed League of Nations. as the best
hope for permanent peace and the
greatest gain of the war; and that
there be definite and intelligent pray
ing, in order to insure the vital forces
needed to carry out such program.
The letter declares for "a New
League of Churches" and says:
"Denominational rivalries must alb
solutely cease. Hence we desire the
speediest progress attainable toward
the time when there will not be one
over-churched community in Vermont,
but in every small community there
will be one Protestant church, with
lister, sufficient equipment and
clear field for serving all the people
and all the community life. But there
is an equally definite plan for COM
munities that are large enough to
support two or more churches. 1t is
that these churches organize a strong
joint committee, meeting scarcely less
often than the official boards Of the
individual churches, under whose
leadership far-reaching program of
community service can be carried out.
The pastors also should become a
unified working body, meeting fire.
quently to talk over their plans, elm
mating duplication of effort, arrang-
ing to bring to the community from
time to time common message and
taking such advantage of each mans
special talent as will secure it's use
not merely for his own church, but
for all the community"
The letter is signed by William
Shaw, superintendent Southern Dis
trict, (Methodist); Charles H. Merrill,
secretary Vermont Domestic Mission

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
| strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yonu comprehension. Eut with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of II, $780,
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their de-
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is success ana that in time Of
need it will rise to its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that it
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith In democ-
racy has not been misplaced.
