MODERN SURGERY ROBS WAR OF
TERRORS.

The anomaly of good coming from
evil is shown by the marvellous
strides of medicine and surgery as
a result of the war, which has robbed
it of many Of it's horrors. Wounds
that were formerly regarded as abso-
lutely fatal have by newly discovered
methods, lost their serious aspect,
while injuries once thought per-
manent have found to be durable.
The causes of numerous maladies
have been discovered and effective
methods of protection against them
been ascertained. Bodies broken in
health and injured limbs have been
restored and shattered bones have
been replaced and their lost functions
again brought into action. The sub
stitution of artificial parts has been
accomplished so successfully that
they really appear to work in har-
mony with nature. The achieve
ment has been most wonderful and
speaks volumes in praise Of the skill
and ingenuity of those who have de-
voted their lives to the amelioration
of suffering and the rehabilitation of
the human body.

The making of wine or other
liquor in the home for personal use
as a beverage will not be lawful un-
der the terms of the national prohi-
bition amendment which is to become
effective in January, 1920.
Section l of the resolution pro-
viding for nationwide prohibition
| follows:
After one year from the ratifica-
tion of this article the manufacture,
sale or transportation of intoxicat-
| ing liquors within, the importation
thereof into, or the expectation
thereof from the United States and
all territory subject to the jurisdic-
ton thereof for beverage purposes is
hereby prohibited"
In other words, it will be unlaw-
full to make, sell, transport, export

cept beverage purposes and there
fore it will not be unlawful to make

fact that the railway workers already

BARRE TEACHERS
ASK MORE PAY
Want Minimum of $500 Year and Max
iInum of $3.50 a Year-Declare They
Cannot Live Decently on Pres
ent Salaries.

Declaring that they cannot live de-
Gently on the present salaries, the grade
teachers of the Barre public school sys-
tenn have petitioned the school commits
sioners for raising of the minimum
and maximum Of teachers salaries and
the accompanying increase of their re-
munerations. The petition is said to
have been signed by all except one of the
grade teachers
The minimum salary asked for is 5000
a year and the maximum $3.50 a year, as
compared with $500 and 1915 at the pres
ent time. 1t is said that only about
eight of the teachers are now getting the
present maximum salary, and some Of
them have been teaching in the Barre
schools for between 20 and 80 years. A
majority of the grade teachers received
an increase of $25 this year over their
salaries of last year, and few of them
received raise of SIS. These increases
the teachers feel are too small to keep
up with the increasing cost of living and
not commensurate with the large gain in
school appropriation made possible by
the action Of the voters last spring in
voting dollar on dollar of the grand
list for school purposes, and the levying
of such tax this year.
Many of the teachers are boarding
themselves" at the present time in the
hope of cutting down expenses, while
those who elect to pay boarding mis-
tresses are required to pay an average
OF So week for board on top of an aver
age of 50 per week for room Wash
ing, ironing and other necessary items Of
the weekly outgo bill dig considerably
deeper into the salaries, so that, accord
ing to the claim, there is almost an ir-
reducible fraction left on hand at the
balance of the week or month, no matter
how hard the teachers may strive to cur
tail their living expenses So they have
respectfully petitioned the school com
missioners for reyamping of the sal
aries.

BARRE POST STILL SHORT.
And the End of the Big Drive for Ameri
can Legion Is at Hand.

With four of the seven districts still
short Of their quotas, campaigners who
have been putting life into the Ameri
can Legion drive for the past week are
bent on an llth hour drive just before
the all-important meeting of Barre post
in the X. of p. hall this evening at 1880
o'clock.
Yesterdays seturns naturally served
to boost the total somewhat, but the
gains were not sufficient and nowhere
near as gratifying as were the returns of
Saturday. According to advices from
state headquarters, town after town in
Vermont is pouring in its record of quo
tas filled Here in Barre, legion lead
ers are still unwilling to believe that in
the final roundup ex-service men are
going to have it written that Barre, after
registering 100 per cent in every war
drive, is going TO be remembered as hav-
ing failed to attain its quota in the
great organization that is growing out
of comradeship formed in the war
To the end then, that every last serv-
ice man may have an opportunity to en-
roll, the districts yet to realize their
quotas will furnish the background for
an intensive cleanup drive late this
afternoon and early this evening. When
the canvassers have finished, whether
with quotas full and Barre's honor re-
deemed, or TO report partial failure, will
90 into the post meeting to help elect
delegates to the state convention in Bur
lington next month. Barre's representa-
tion depends entirely upon its enroll
ment, so it viii be seen that ex-service
men who have not yet enrolled, even
now have it in their power to place the
local post on high level with the most
influential posts in Vermont. The meet
ing is to be called promptly at 1880
o'clock, and the presence of every mem
Der is urgently necessary Refreshments
will be served
Yesterdays returns brought the to-
tai up to $50, or 20 short of the quota
The more noticeable percentage increases
were in ward and in Barre Town. The
latter increased its percentage to ll6

reputation for energy and enthusiasm
