Vermont Makes Plans TO
Fight tuberculosis

The Executive Committee Of the
National tuberculosis Association
voted to approve plan submitted by
the Vermont tuberculosis Associa-
ton entitled, "a Plan for an Intensive
Campaign against tuberculosis, and
also to appropriate $500 from the
Missionary Fund from the National
tuberculosis Association to aid in de-
veloping the plan. The Executive
committee of the National Tubercu-
Iosis Association went over the plan
with considerable care Criticisms
were made over some of the details,
but the. general scheme appealed 1ato
them as an effort towards solving a
problem of tuberculosis in small cit
les and towns that was worthy Of
their support.
The plans were written by II. w.
Slocunn, secretary of the Vermont Tu-
berculosis Association. They includ-
ed the opening of public health dis
pensary which will offer expert ply
steal examination to all, but will par
ticular1y be interested in the exam
nation of those who have been ex-
posed to tuberculosis. 1t furnishes
the services of an expert nurse in
homes where there is tuberculosis. It
also provides for an intensive educa-
tional campaign along health lines
to be carried on in various homes for
the people of limited district.
One of the important features of
tn plan is to organize a public welfare
committee and to give to the mem
bers of this committee a course on
welfare work and have them actually
do this kind of work with the help of
experts, In this way, by the time
the Association has finished with
a limited district there will be left
an organization trained to care fol
every case of need in the most effec-
tive and economical way.
If the plan works out successfully
ultimately the whole state of Yer
mont viii be covered BY intensive
work in limited districts and in each
district there will be organized q
trained welfare organization. If this
is brought about Vermont will take
leading place in the country in the
solution of the welfare problem
rural communities.
H. w. Slocum has been working OF
the plan for a number Of months. He
has visited a number Of clinics in va
rious parts Of the country, and con
suited on various items with physi
clans and social workers in Vermont
and from other sections of the coun
try. He states that he is confden
that the plan will be successful pro
vided the best people of the various
parts Of the state will enthusiasticall!
respond to this opportunity to syste
matically and effectively help th'
people in their own country.

THE NEED OF TREES

Notwithstanding the exigent state
of affairs in which the carrying on Of
righteous war is the transcendant
aim, writes John Y. Cuyler in a let
ter to the New York Sun, our
thoughts might well be shared at
this season by a consideration of
the practical value of tree planting, a
matter of common interest, as of
other necessaries in fact, upon which
health, comfort and happiness de-
pend, such as food for man and
beast, water supply, fuel in the form
of coal, wood and oil, the means
of shelter, etc. Not far removed in
its significance from the appalling de-
struction of human life abroad is
the devastation, and in many instanc-
es the complete destruction, of the
woods and forests, the parks and
gardens of France, Belgium and 9th
er fields of the sanguinary conflict in
progress.
In our own country we can no long
er delude ourselves with the boastful
claim of an exhaustless timber sup
ply. The shifting scenes of the lum-
Der interests, the story of which is
so startling as evidencing the mag
nitude of such inroads upon this once
Incompatible resource as to force up
on us the widespread need of repro
duction and the unremitting service
of wisest conservation. Great areas
of our middle Western States once in
vested with dense forests of valuable
timber are now so bare as scarcely tt
yield q local supply of firewood.

BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute.

Dr., Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect On the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calonel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense Of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. Sodo strong liquids. It's best not
to take calomel, but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place. Q
Most headaches, "dullness'' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel 'loggy' and
heavy, :, Note how they 'tclear" clouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spirits

colors of Paints.

The color Of paint is sometimes more
than matter of appearance. A black
body more readily absorbs heat than
q light body and in certain eases the
hght-colored paint seems TO be pref
cradle to the dark for this reason.
Transformer burnouts in hot climates
are reported to have been apparently
due to the continuous high atmospheric
temperatures. With this heat the
further heating from the load has PROV
ed excessive and damage has resulted
that might have been avoided with
different painting.
