mington man who has had his auto
mobile license suspended has filed
with the secretary of state master
piece in the way of a plea for its
return. He lays the cause of his ac-
cident to the strong lady who was
with him. He said she pushed the
car too much" He didn't know she
was pushing. He says he was "Cfe-
ment man" and voted for Mr.. Black
for Secretary of Vermont" and
mixes some in politics. He says he is
a good driver. He admits he ran into
a telephone pole, but he didn't hurt
the pole. He charges the primary
blame for the accident to the town of
Jamaica using "rotten" logs. He says
he is first-class man around saw
mill and also has conducted a barber
shop. His boss, he says, also agrees
with him that he is a good driver. He
asks the secretary of state to come
to Wilmington and see him and take
a look at his car. He also intimated
that he might leave the state if his
license was not returned and if he did
the state would lose a tax payer

The bureau of markets Of the de-

to stimulate the consumption of dairy
products in cities. A campaign at Sc

local organizations. Last year cam
paigns conducted by the department to
encourage the use of dairy products
were held in Boston, Detroit, Des

Des Moines after a weeks campaign
the demand for milk became greater
than dealers were able to meet. AT

INDIGESTION CAUSES sC0URS
Calf Affected Has BeenfOverfed, Been
Given Milk That Was Sour, or
Pals Were Dirty.

When the calf GETS scours it is an
indication that something is wrong
with the feeding. 1t has either been
overfed, been given milk that is sour
or cold, been fed sweet milk one meal
and sour the next, or the pals or
troughs are dirty. Indigestion Is the
cause of Scours, so in treating the
trouble the first thing to do is to cor
rect the conditions that brought on
indigestion. Then give dose of cas-
tor oil in milk and follow with the
formalin treatment. This consists in
giving one tablespoonful of formalin
solution, made by. adding one-half
ounce of formalin to 1914 ounces Of
water, in each pint; of milk fed. Only
half the usual amount of milk should
be given at q feed for few days,
when the amount can be increased to
normal again. There are other rem
edies but this has been highly rec
commended.

THE PEOPLE OWN THE RAIL
ROADS

Investors in railroad stocks who
may or may not be acquainted with
the facts that the market value OF
these securities has materially drop
ped this montiNneed have no fears as
to the future Ut their holdings. AS
long as the government operates the
railroads the stockholders will re-
ceive fair return from their invest
ment and if the government should
decide to take over the properties per
manently it is inconceivable that they
would cheat the public in the deal.
The railroads of the United States re-
present the largest industry IN this
country and 100000 American men
and women own their stocks. The
bonds are largely owned by the great
insurance companies and managers OF
trust funds. That these private and
public interests will be sacrificed to
satisfy any demands of politicians or
radicals is beyond belief.
The disposition of the railroads
rests entirely with Congress and the
Senators and Representatives are the
servants of the people. In the last
analysis the people will decide what
shall be done with the railroads and
we believe that they can be trusted
to give everybody square deal.

PRESS COMMENT
The Rights Of Readers

burlington Free HfeSS)
A st. Johnsbuly lawyer has taker
the daily paper of that city to task
for interpersing patent medicine
ads. through its news columns
whereupon the publisher retorts
that he is in business for something
more than his health. Probably II
is q simple difference of opinion or
the part of two men looking at
something from different viewpoint
and while recognizing that certain adj
vertisers demand and secure space II
the news columns we wonder if the
st. Johnsbury lawyer has not gooo
basis for his. objections.
When a man buys a newspaper to
scan the local columns it is probably
irritating for him'to wade through too
many patent medicine readers and
undoubtedly the solution of the mat
ter would be for publishers to eX-
clude such readers from among then
news items and run them at the bot
tom of the columns.
Subscribers have certain rights
which can scarcely be encroached
upon even under the guise of bust
ness necessity and sometimes we
think the point of view of the
readers receives too little considera-
ton and the point of view of the adj
vertiser too much.
Since advertisers come to paper
only in proportion to the number
of readers, inclination to please such
readers might be more of considera-
ton with the average publisher than
it is and very few but what transgress
at some time or another.

Chinese Dietary.

Chinese cooking has for its general
basis chicken broth or poultry jelly
and red sauce. The latter accom-
panics nearly all the dishes; it is a
kind of dissolved meat jelly favored
with pimento and corlander. Pork and
mutton are almost exclusively eaten !;
horse and camel meat, however, may
be bought. The number of edible dogs
eaten annually in China is estimated
OF 100000.
