CAN STOP ANNOYING HABIT
How HabituaI Snorer May Cure Him
. self of Practice That Is Injurious
to the Health.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, who conducts
a department of foods, sanitation and
health in Good Housekeeping, invites
inquiry from readers, and in doing SO
lays himself open to surprising re-
quests. A woman recently asked the
doctor why her sister snOred and how
she could be cured of the unpleasant
accomplishment. Doctor Wiley gave
the following explanation of snoring:
Snoring takes place only when the
mouth is open and almost always when
one is sleeping on his back. AdenoidS
or other Instructions to the nasal pas.
sages are frequent causes of snoring.
Usually snoring is prevented by sleep.
ing on ones side. Mechanically an elas-
tic band under the chin and over the
top of the head will keep the mouth
closed. The annoyance which is caused
to other people by snoring is by no
means the worst feature of this trou-
BILE. The air that enters the lungs di-
rectly through the mouth is more like
ly to carry dust and infection into the
| lungs than if the breathing takes place
| through the nasal passages. :. These
| passages are tOrtuous in character,
/ and the particles carried in the air
stick to the mucous membranes of the
sir passages. Thus the lungs are pro-
1 tected from infection"

Value of One Mans Word

In the press of other things the
opportunity to pay honor where
honor is due should not be overlook
ed. 1t may be said without preju-
dice to the other candidates that had
Lieutenant Governor Hulburd been
so disposed, he could have entered
the governorship nomination contest
with a fine prospect of success, be-
cause in the tangle which was Great
ed by MI. Clements entry many
would have turned to the Hyde Park
man with sense of relief. When
asked if he would be candidate he re-
piled that he was conscious that an
opportunity existed, but said he
would not try to avail himself of it
because he had previously given his
word to two of the candidates that
they could count him out of it and
keeping his word meant something
to him. In the rough and rumble of
ypolitics, with Ian unforeseen situa-
ton created, there would have been
little general inclination to hold Mr..
Hulburd to his word, but when his
word was passed that settled it with
him. Here is a standard of political
ethics that is refreshing and strong
" appealing. 1t ought not to be for
gotten in the future if Mr.. Hurlburd
should again offer himself for politf-
cal prefeiment.

PRESS COMMENT

Frank Howe 100 Per Cent Loyal
1t is strange Frank Howe's dis
loyalty has not been discovered be-
fore. After all their attempts to
make it appear he is disloyal and
pro-German they publicly announce
they do not believe Frank Howe dis
loyal. Of course not, yet they want
the people to believe the false i'm
pressions they have sown broadcast
1t is one of the most unwarrantable
attempts to blacken the record of
an active, Woodworking, patriotic cit
izen that ever disgraced a Vermont
political campaign. Frank Howe
has given many hundred fold more
towards building up Vermont and
supporting the government than
Judge Darling. His loyalty and pa
triotism is second to none in the
state. He voluntarily opened his office
fee to enlistment and secured over
100 boys for the list Vermont. He
has son in the service, one who
nearly gave his life for his country
He has advocated and urged the sup
port of the federal and state govern
ments in war work and one of the
planks in his platform is that Yer
mont must "stand ready to do he1
best" in aid of our boys called to
service. Is that disloyalty? Is that
pro-German? We wish some OF
Frank Howe's patriotism and loyalty
was injected into his defamers, il
would make them more loyal anc
~fairminded. Then too, Frank Howe

"to round out my career"-but t.

A FATHERS PRAYER

(Reuben Goldsmith in the New York
Times)
Somewhere across the infested sea
Serving the cause of liberty,
Dear Lord, is my brave son.
] know not how he fares tonight,
But keep him ever in thy sight,
For | have but the one.
Thou gavest two to bless my life,
But one fell early lin the strife
Ny frst-begotten son.
He, with his comrades, marched
away,
And then a message came one day
Dear Lord, l have but one.
Then, while so sorrowed and bereft,
Though only he to me was left,
/ could not say him nay,
Who urged that duty babe him go
His country called, he said, and so,
How could l bid him stay?
But, oh, dear Lord, it's hard to bear,
With not another child to share
The hearth when day is done!
I can but kneel to Thee and pray:
Be with him through the hellish fray
And keep thou safe my son!
/ know the cause is good and true,
I know that suffering must ensue
Before the fight is won.
But bear with me, o Lord, this night j.;
Be thou my solace in my plight
And guard my only son.

For Governor, Frank Howe

The Barton Monitor in ringing
editorial says that the platform up
on which Frank E. Howe stands
means something and says. some
thing, and that he is just the kind of
a man that the progressive republi-
cans of Orleans county want for
governor. 1t calls particular atten-
ton to the fact that while Mr..
Howe was not identified with the
progressive party he stayed with the
republican party and tried to better
it's conditions. For that reason he
satisfies now the progressive think
ers of the state in whatever party
they may be affiliated. Of his legis-
lative record and his record the
Monitor says:
Crank Howe has always been in
the front rank when it came to pro-
gressive legislation, Frank Howe
now leads his opponents in progress
sive ideas. Clement and Darling are
acknowledged as stand-pat, corpor-
alton bound, aristocratic gentlemen
of wealth. Frank Howe is a man
whose circumstances place him on
common with the average man and
his sympathies are with the masses.
"He has declared himself in favor
of national prohibition. He has de-
clared himself in favor of the legis-
lation for the soldier and the soldiers
dependents. He is young, emerge
tic, experienced, and tested Vermont
er. He typifes progress.
ellis opponents are men of much
greater age, men with less legisla-
tive experience, less actual personal
knowledge of Vermont, less sympa-
thetic hearts"

Votes for Women INDICATED

If it be true that Miss Jeanette
Rankin's defeat for Senatorial NOM
nation in Montana was due to the
opposition of republican women be-
cause of her I. w. w. affiliations and
her pacifst lacrimosity, are not its
opponents confronted with the nee
essity of finding some new argu-
ments against votes for women?
Anyway, Jeanette no longer can be
cited by them as a horrible ex-
ample" of the products of equal suf--
frage. If the women of Montana
elected her they have shown that
they know bad bargain when they
see it, which is not always true of
voters of the opposite sex.-New
