ENDLESS CHAIN NOT MYSTICAL
Doctor Fighting Influenza Explains
How Curative Serum Went From
Patient to Patient.

The prevalence Of influenza and
pneumonia with their high death rate
makes 1t imperative to resort to heroic
methods Of treatment rather than to
follow the accepted ones only. The
lack of serum or other specific remedy
for influenza, writes DR.. Charles Il.
Humbert In the Medical Record, to-
gether with the inability to obtain
antipneumococcus serum forced me to
use convalescent serum.
The Endless Chaln.-It Is a we'll
known fact that persons convalescing
from pneumonia have anti-bOdies In
their blood streams. AS soon as the
patients condition permits, therefore.
they are bled as much and as frequent
ly as possible.
Serum is prepared and treated. and
Is placed In stock. When another pa
tient comes in with pneumonia, treat
mcnt is begun. When convalescence
sets In the above procedure Is repeat
ed. 1t is a case of one gives serum to
uvo. two gives serum to three and so
on. the procedure becoming endless.

censor's Office Boy.

It must be the censor's Office boy
who Is responsible for some Of the va.
garies of the blue pencil. Not long ago
some patriotic soul quoted Kipling's
line from the "Recessional." "The cap
talns and the kings depart" He had
the surprise of his life when the word
"kings" was struck out. But worse
Is now reported. Another scribe
greatly daring In the meatless days
quoted Thomas Hoods joke in an ar.
ticle on "Wayside Graves" or some
thing equally solemn:
$50 they buried Ben at four cross
roads
With a stake In his inside"
That was too much for the censor's
Office boy. A stake In his inside, In
deed. The censor's office boy knew II
he knew how to spell that the food
controller would never sanction q
whole 'steak"-a nice, succulent. juicy
steak, In anybody's inside. SO he de

The question Of civilian equipment

A Real Fair

The Caledonian congratulates Pre-
ident Cary, Secretary Hartman and
the Fair Ground directors for giving
the people OF northeastern Vermont
a real fair last week. There were
fine exhibitions of stock and farm
products that it would be hard to du
plicatc at the largest fairs in New
England for purity and quality.
The Grange exhibit was one of the
best features ever introduced and as
for Midway attractions and amuse-
ments there were varieties enough to
suit all. The police and the traffic
men handled the big crowd on We'd
nesday like professionals and every
body helped to make it safe for ped
estrians and those in carriages and
automobiles. 1t was great good
natured crowd that came and went
away satisfied because they go their
moneys worth.

Harold B. Phelps, a farmer resid-

dead in the body of his wagon near
the silo on his farm, death being due

Phelps was evidently tipped from the
drivers seat into the rear of the wag-
on which was partly loaded with corn
cobs from canning factory and his
head hung over the side of the wagon
the weight of his body shutting off
his breath at the neck. 1t is presum-
ed that when he fell he became dazed
and was unable to help himself. He

FAIR NOTES

The judge of the livestock was An
drew Elliott of Gault, Ontario, a man
of wide experience who has been re-
presenting the department of agricul
ture in Vermont as judge of the fairs
this fall.
An episode that happened SO quick
ly Tuesday afternoon that no one of
the officers got the names of the par
ties was the appearance on the
grounds late in the day of an officer
from White River junction with a
writ to arrest man charged with
stealing automobile tires, said to be
at Claremont, and selling them at
White River Junction. The man had
just arranged with Supt. Sherry to
set up game of chance, but the
sheriff gathered him in, and after a
brief visit to the lookup took him
back to White River Junction where
he will be held for hearing.
The Caledonian booth in Floral
Hall had many visitors Tuesday and
throughout the afternoon the Even
ing Caledonian sold like hot cakes.
The bulletin in the booth had all the
Associated Press news of the day and
attracted much attention. Be sure
and visit the Galedonian booth before
leaving the Fair Ground.
The most disappointed man on the
grounds Tuesday was the party who
had secured a booth to make candy
throughout the fair and was unable
to get white sugar either in st. Johns
bury or elsewhere for the manufac-
ture of his wares.
1t may be there were~busier men
Tuesday than President Cary and Sec
retary Hartman, but if there were
the Caledonian man did not see them.
Through the forenoon there was some
confusion in arranging the various
displays, but by night everything was
in readiness for big fair.

First War Bride to
Come to LYndOnYille

At the home of the groom's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Whip
pie Of Lyndonville, at noon on Sept
22, occurred the marriage of Harold
Allen Whipple and Miss Andree
Honedry of Rennes, France. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Charles Kimball of Glover, former
pastor of the Lyndonville Universal
list church beneath Il drapery of the
American and French flags. The
couple were attended by Mr. and
Mrs. Myron Eastman, the latter a
sister of the groom. The bride was
gowned in white crepe de chine over
silk and wore veil festooned with
pearls. Mrs. Eastman wore gown
of white voille trimmed with hand
made lace from Brittany. After the

the immediate relatives of the
groom being present. The bridal
pair left later by auto for a trip
through Vermont. Mr.. Whipple
served q months overseas in the
26th regiment. He was mustered out
at Camp Mills, July 18. The match
is a elimination of a romance which
began when Mr.. Whipple was at the
University at Rennes, France. Mrs.
Whipple is an orphan. She arrived
in New York, Sept. Is, on the steam
er, La France, and has been a guest
at the Whipple home since her ar

PRESS COMMENT
Delusions of Grandeur?

The Brattleboro Reformer aIvo-
Gates the manufacture of brick out
of waste granite and Washington,
Caledonia and Orange counties are
having visions of becoming the brick
centers of the world. One of the pen
alties of progress is the continual up
setting of the existing order of
things. Bricks have been made of
clay since the days when the Israel
ties were not provided with straw
and now some individuals with a cur
ious turn of mind proposes to knock
the whole business into a cooked hat
and substitute ground granite. There
is probably enough quarry waste in
and around the town and city of
Barre to make a sufficient number of
bricks to build a few cities of the
size of New York provided the dream
is one that comes true. A half CEN
tury ago there was a thriving o,hre
mining business in the town of Ben
nington and a few small fortues were
built on the product Most of the
ochre was used in the manufacture Of
oil cloth. Some one discovered that
ground waste from slate quarries
would answer the purpose and the
ochre business began a slow ride to-
ward comparative oblivion. The

FORMER WORLD
CHAMPS TO MEET
STRONG TEAM

The New York Giants who will
finish in second place in the Ma
tional League this year will play an
exhibition game in st. Johnsbury on
Friday afternoon, October 10th. This
big sporting event-the first time a
big league team has ever played in
St. Johnsbury is made possible oy
patriotic citizens making substall-
tial guarantee to the team to come
here. --..-
Capt. Max Gilfillan who since his
return from war service overseas has
worked hard to put this town ol
the baseball map, is responsible for
the appearance of the Giants here.
He has worked night and day ft
week to land this big attraction for
Northeastern Vermont.
If weather conditions are favorable
it is safe to bet that St. Johnsbury
will see one of the largest crowds
that has ever attended a baseball
game in this section. 1t is expecte l
that the crowd will come from all
parts of the state to sec this major
league attraction.
The Giants played a double header
with the Boston Braves yesterday
and the teams split even. The Giants
won the first game IA to 2 with Z.
Smith in the box. The Braves took
away the second game to the tune Of
8 to 4. Scott pitched for Boston and
Snover and Barnes for New York.
One why the Giants wanted to
play here is because Dubuc, St.
Johnsbury boy, is member of the
New York teamThe nine is also on
its way to Montreal for special
series with the team there.
St. Johnsbury makes a convenient
stopping off place for an exhibition
game.
Capt. Gilfillan is picking up team
to play the Giants and will have some
star players in the lineup which will
be announced later.
