COUNTY NEEDS MISS HUNT
Subscribe at Once for Home Demon.
stration Work

Bennington county is surprisingly
tagging behind in response to the
drive for funds to maintain a home
demonstration agent in the county.
Miss Barbara Hunt of Burlington
has been doing valuable Home Dem
onstraton work in this county for the
past 16 months and everyone seems
anxious that she remain here They
do not appear however to realize that
funds are needed and must be had or
It will be necessary to eliminate her
work in this county
Bennington's quota of the drive for
funds, which has been in progress dur
ing this month, is S240 and to date
less than half this amount has been
subscribed and only two weeks are
left in which to raise this money.
Three towns in the county. Man
chester. Landgroye and Stamford have
already met their quota Manchester
has oversubscribed and has prospects
of still getting more money In many
of the towns extension plans are al
ready under way for Home Demonstra
tion work this winter but in these
same towns many have neglected to
subscribe toward the maintenance of
this work
Aside from the benefit derived from
this department by the older folks of
the county the boys and girls have
found Miss Hunts work most inter.
esting. Nearly every town in Benn-
ingten county has at least one Bows
and Girls club formed by Miss Hunt
and many have two or three. Letters
of appreciation from the Youngsters
are frequently received by Miss Hunt.

OPERA IN GERMAN
GIVEN IN NEW YORK
In Defiance of Mayor Hylan and Mob
Mounted Police Charge Ex-
Service Men

New York, oct. 21.-While a threat.
ening crowd of several thousand per-
sons, including hundreds of ex- sol
diers and sailors, was held in check
by police lines around the LeXing
ton Theatre, German opera was sung
there last night by the Star Opera
company to an audience which wildly
cheered the first song in German and
gave some perfunctory applause to
The Star Spangled Banner"
The promoters of the German opera
went ahead with their performance in
spite of the fast that Mayor Hylan
after hearing a bitter argument be-
tween ex-service men and advocates of
the opera, announced a decision against
holding the performance When the
mayor learned that the opera was 60
ing on in German, notwithstanding
pronouncement against it, he issued
a statement saying that he had been
unable to get in touch with the Cor
poration Counsel and would not forci.
bly, stop the performance, because of a
doubt as to his legal right to employ
the police for that purpose.
a strong police guard was placed on
duty around the theatre and once in
the evening patrolmen charged a
crowd of former soldiers and sailors.
The horse of a policeman injured one
soldier

If Too Thin TN

While excessive thinness might be
attributed TO various and subtle causes
i'm different individuals it is a we'll

largely responsible for this condition.
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphoroqs may
now be met by the use of Bitro-
Phosphate, which can be obtained
from any good druggist in convenient
