Saturday Is Gas Mask Day.

Gov. Graham has issued a proc
lamation in which he names Satur-
day, Nov. 9, as "Gas Mask Day."
The proclamation reads:
/, Horace F. Graham, Governor,
designate Saturday, Nov. 9, as Gas
Mask Day, and request all citizens of
Vermont to cooperate with their local
chapters of the American Red Cross
in collecting fruit pits and ntshells to
produce carbon of superior quality,
which serves as an absorbent of poi
sonous gases. I urge that special eff
fort be made. to collect pits from
pe4rhes, plun1s, cherries, apricots,
prunes, dates, olives and to gather
all hickory nuts, walnuts and butter
nuts, either the whole nut or the shell
but not the husk. Other materials
must not be included. Loss of life
by gas is greater than by the guns of
the enemy. The torture from gas is
incomparably worse than the pain
from bullets. A million pounds of
fruit pits or nutshells are needed
daily to protect our soldiers and
nurses on the battlefronts.
Red Cross chapters have shipping
instructions, and it is suggested that
all stores, schools, and post offices
provide receptacles for these pits and
shells. Let us continue each day to
save them for the humane protection
of our armies and their fighting eff
fectiveness. Protect the dollars you
give for war relief by furnishing
every field secretary and Salvation
Army lass with the best gas mask.
Gather butternuts and you will have
the gas problem in nutshell.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, at Montpelier, this
fourth day Of November, A. D. 1918.
. Horace F. Graham,
Governor.

COSMOS" LEAVES STATE.
Suspicious Medium Wanted by Vic.
tins and States Attorney.

The person operating in Barton,
Orleans, Derby Line and Richford as
medium or clairvoyant under the
name of "Cosmos" has left for parts
unknown, according to States At
torney Thompson. He has been op-
Grating in these towns for several
weeks and has been under suspicion
but no tangible evidence of an incrim-
mating character has been found.
But with his sudden disappearance
from the state authorities have been
making more rigid investigation,
and it is found that he has operated
under other names in other places and
is said to have prison record. He
and another man who works with him
have advertised extensively and evil
dence that it has brought results are
not lacking.
It is said the method was that of a
confidence man who convinced his eli
ents that if they would invest sum
Of money with him they would become
great gamers. Some are said to have
invested.
States Attorney Thompson says !:
"I have reason to believe Cosmos
will be brought back to this county
and I advise any who have lost mon
ey by him to make that fact known to
me. It will be treated with conf
dence. Any evidence you may give
will be useful"

Over Representative.
