Windham county had the proud die
tinction of being one of the banner
counties of the country which furnished
so many men by voluntary enlistment
that the draft did not apply to it..
Capt. f. w Gibson of Company I of
Brattleboro has started a movement for
this county to avoid the second draft.
In his letter to The Reformer today he
urges the men Of Glass l in the regis
tration list to ask to be voluntarily in
Quoted into the service. Thus they will
have an opportunity to 90 direct to the
First Vermont regiment at Camp Greene
and to secure the extra pay from the
state. Men between the ages OF Il
and 40 who are physically fit will alst
be accepted. To put old Windham a
the front again is an object for which
we should all strive. 1t is up first L
| the patriotism of our young men an,
| secondly to the older people to urg
and encourage them. Capt. Gibson ha
pointed the way. Let us all strive t
keep the colors of our home county a
the front.

the con junction of Vermont S two
members of congress at the Dalrymen S
banquet was a somewhat unusual event.
Their presence and addresses afforded
our people an excellent opportunity to
see at close and new range how the
state is represented in the national
house of representatives at this time
in this period of war. Both men have
taken on new strength with experience
in the halls Of national legislation, and
it is probably safe to say that at no
time in the memory of the present gen

man Greene, q leading republican mem
! Der Of the house committee on military
affairs, has been with us SO many times
that all Of our people know of his speak
ing ability. Many of the people of Bur
lington and vicinity heard Congressman
Dale of the Second district for the
first time. He had a wonderful message
from the battlefront III Franco anC
from our Vermont boys. He stirred the
emotions of his hearers as they have not
previously been stirred. and Congress

Our neighboring county of Cheshire |
across the Connecticut in New Hamp |

finance which could do credit to the |
new Russian government. The city of
Keene and the towns of Alstead. Ches-
terrified, Gilsum, NARROW. Marlboro and
Rindge have lust awakened to the fact
that since 1910 they have been paying
too much in taxes and the other towns
have not been paying enough. The
amount involved in $4,000 and the city
and the towns which have made over
payment have brought suit in the supe-
| rior court to recover their money
and to make the II towns pay the
amount they have been shy. Every SEES
sion eff the legislature makes an appor-
tionment of public taxes, specifying
what percentage of all the money to be
raised shall be paid by each individual
city and town. These percentages vary
from year to year, towns that are grow
ing i'll wealth pay more each year and
towns that are relatively losing pay
less. In Cheshire county they have been
using the apportionment Of 1903 right
along for the levy of the county taxes

CAMP FIRE HONoRs.
Strenuous Program to Put Girls in Good
PHYSICAL Condition.

1t is a hopeful sign that the national
good health movement, stimulated BY
disappointing disclosures as 10 the gen
eral fitness of many young men for mill !.
tary duty, has been entered upon with
enthusiasm by our young women. This
IS reflected in novel ''health chart
Just prepared by the officials of the
Camp Fire Girls. an organization some
what similar to the Boy Scouts. The
purpose of the chart is to impress upon
girls their patriotic duty to lead healthy
hives, particularly in this time of ma
tlonal stress. Anemic young women.
though they may not be in the invalid
class, are obviously unfit for the increas-
ing responsibilities that are being thrust
upon them.
Tie regimen prescribed for Camp
Fire Girls is especially interesting be-
cause of its simplicity In awarding a
special badge of honor to those who
are faithful to requirements, officials Of
the organization only give recognition
to the principle that a stimulus is some
times required to translate good inten-
tions into action The true reward. how
ever, lies in direct benefits received. II
is not easy to estimate the good that
would accrue if every young woman
without reference to membership in the
Camp Fire Girls, could be persuaded t.
enter upon the course for season.

The most vital necessity of the

is nurses. Trained nurses are needed

SALT LAKE CITY MAN
TELLS HOW TANLAC

Don ]. Perry Says Wife Has Gained
Twenty-eight Pounds and He

"Mrs. Perry had suffered from
stomach trouble for a long time" b"
he continued. "She had no appetite
and complained of a heavy feeling
in the pit of her stomach. She was
extremely nervous and don't be-
lieve she slept as much as two hours
out of twentyfour in over two
years: She lost weight and strength
continually and could not attend to
her household duties. She tried ev-
erything we could find and nothing
gave her any relief until we got Tan
lac. Her stomach trouble is entirely
gone now, she can eat just anything
wants without any trouble and be-
sides gaining twenty-eight pounds,
she is able to do all her housewoork
and seems like different person.
