Should Be Quarantined

Many physicians believe that anyone
who has bad cold should be complete
ly isolated to prevent other members
of the family and associates from con-
tracing the disease, as colds are about
as catching as measles. One thing sure
the sooner one rids himself of a cold
the less the danger, and you will look
a good while before you find betrer
medicine than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedyto aid you in curing cold.

SCHOOL BONDS

If bonds may justly be issued
for any purpose whatever by the
people of one generation to be
paid by those of another, surely
the building of school houses is
such purpose.
When we issue bonds to pay
for streets, roads, bridges, sewer
age systems, court houses, city
halls, or houses and equipment
for fire departments, we our
selves get the benefit of these,
and when streets, roads, bridges
and sewerage systems are worn
out and must be replaced or re-
paired. and the court houses, city
halls, and equipment for fire de-
partmentS are outgrown, our
children pay for what we have
used and probably used up. But
when we issue bonds to build
good school houses for our chill
dren. they themselves get the
benefit of what they must.later
pay for.
BY issuing bonds for this~pur-
pose we only enable the children
to borrow from their future rich
er selves to provide themselves
now with that which is essential
to their welfare, but which we
feel ourselves too poor to give
them out of our own pockets.

CORN GREW ON HOUSE ROOF
Strange Place. Well Authenticated,

For several weeks farmers on the
Lane road observed green substance
on the roof of an abandoned house on
the lie Gale farm, says a Galfney
Falls IN. W correspondent. They
watched ii grow until it attained Il
height of feet. The men reported
the phenomenon. but were laughed at.
However. Jabez Montow, who watch

Shots, and two others to accompany
him to the house for an Investigation
The men accepted the invitation
A ladder was obtained from the ell
CINE house, placed in an automobile
truck and the men went to the house.
There they found two stalks of corn
6 feet in length, with two large and
well-formed ears of corn on each stalk
prOtruding from the roof. The men
entered the garnet Of the house and
found the hill of corn in a mass of SCOT
and dirt, an accumulation of years.
The stalks were removed and
brought to town. They measured 9
feet in length, 2 feet being beneath
the roof. The men each took an ear

Aviator's Heart ENLARGED.

Doctors Etienne and Lamy of Nancy,
France, have conducted a series Of
X-ray examinations Of the hearts of
aviators and have found evidence Of
considerable enlargement. The heart
enlargement sets in early in the fly
ing mans career, being noticeable
after five months of experience In
the air. The degree of enlargement
is roughly proportional to the height
at which the aviator is accustomed
to fly, so that simple examination Of
the X-ray plate suffices to determine
a mans branch of flying service {;
whether he is doing chasing and
bombing work at high attitudes, or is
engaged at marrying infantry, ETC., at
comparatively low attitudes.
The enlargement seems to be SYM
metrical, and it does not appear to in
volve serious trouble. It is due to
the hearts adapting itself to the ex-
ira work put upon it by changes in
the blood circulation because of the
varying conditions in the atmosphere
through which the aviator flies and
to the general happenings incident to
aviation.

Super Bomb Made to
Destroy U. S. Shipping

The World Conflict has been pro-
ductive Of many weapons of fright
fuIness, but probably the most de-
structive of them all was originated
for use in America before the United
States entered the war. Robert Fay
the inventor, was arrested and sent
enced to eight years imprisonment
before he had chance of using it.
Fay conceived the idea of it while
fighting trench warfare in the Ger
man army on the West front.
The invention was AL internal Ina
chine twice as powerful in its en-
tents of explosives as the strongest
torpedo. 1t was designed to be at
tached to the stern of a vessel. The
revolution of the propeller would
automatically explode it after the
ship cad travelled six or seven miles.
Its ufe was counted upon to stop the
shipment OF munitions and supplies
from the United States to the Allies.
Fay had an exciting time during
his short period of elderly in the
United States. The story of his at
tempt to manufacture these bombs
and the way his plan was frustrated
is the basis Of The Kaiser's Death
Messenger" the eight episode of
The Eagles Eye" the serial story
of the Imperial German Government

HERE YOU HAVE THE POlLU
Brief Definition of Man to Whom
Many Will Claim the World
owes Its Salvation.

An humble man who, one July after
noon in 1914, left at two hours notice
his Partisan shop or workshop, or his
ripe wheat fields or his ripening vines,
for military depot he had never lik-
ed, and had managed to tolerate only
because soldering and all things sol
dierly are likable to the Frenchman
and take on halo in his Imagination,
was packed to the Belgian frontier;
made the acquaintance of danger I'M
der all its forms; fought, hungered-
hungered and thirsted-fOr days;
knew the trenches when they were in
their crudest novelty and worse than
the badgers hole; got wounded and
lay for hours, sometimes days, where
he had fallen. or crawled miles to
hurried surgeon and to the torturing
goods trucks pOmpOusly labeled san.
itary trains; got well and went back
to the depot, and then back to the
front and to fighting or being shelled;
and so on during the four years. with
the ever disappointing certainty that
next winter must be the last" or
that imminent coming In Of this or
that nation must bring the end.

Editor of "Herald" -

With the approach os spring, mem
bers are looking toward the setting
sun altho much work has yet to be
done. The General Appropriation
has not as yet been considered at all;
and, if the temper of the Senate can
be construed from the its resolution
for committee of investigation
which was passed under suspension
of rules, this body is unanimously in
favor of retrenchment.
While the population Of Vermont
has remained practically stationery
for the past decade, the unusual
governmental cost has increased from
$500, 600 to $500, 600, and the peo-
pie are facing a state tax and an in
come tax imposed by the general.
government, compelling the payment
of 6 per cent on all incomes Of single
men between $1,000 and $4,000, and
the same rate on all net incomes of
married men between $4,000 and
$4,000, Above $4,000, everyone has

while our population is about the

the Legislature does not reduce with
out sentiment and regardless local
influences, some of the most manifest
examples OF extravaganza il will look
as though the entire party in power
is partaking os the great feast sBel-
shajar.
Take, for instance, the normal
schools. We have two which were
formerly of the type of Junior high
schools. They have now been raised
to the required standard; but the
Johnson school has 80 students and it
costs $25, 900 per year to maintain it,
You could send all those students to
the highest grade of Normal school
outside the state and pay all their
expenses, including board and wash
ing for about $4,000.
We do not favor abolition of nor
NAL schools in Vermont but we do
favor abandoning the present ones
and establishing normal courses at
Vermont University and Middlebury
College and thus save $4,000 per
year. Let US have one good agri-
cultural school, abandon one and
save 10000 per year. We have six
