At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliv-s,
ering heavy trunk on an upper
floor he felt a pain in the right
groin. The suffering increased and
il was not long before the young
man noticed a swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia operations
with anaesthetics, etc, are danger
Gus; they may end fatally. Moreover,
it is a well-established fact that
many rupture operations are not suc-
Cessful; the bowel soon breaks
through the sewed-up opening and
protrudes worse than ever.
Afraid of Operation
Like most others, Mr.. Pullen de-
clined to take the risk of an opera
ton; the expense and loss OF time
had to be considered, too. Hoping
he might get a little better encour-o
agement, he went to another physi-
clan who, to his sorrow, gave him
even less hope. 1t was pointed out
to the young man that unless the
rupture were perfectly held all the
time or the surgeons knife success.
FULLY used, he might expect an fn-I
crease or doubling in the rupture
with further complications, or the
dreaded strangulated hernia, which
kills so many ruptured people.
Victim Of Trusses
The victim bought truss, a hard
sprlng-like affair, the best he could
get. 1t tortured him. He tried an
other-still no relief He was com.
relIed to give up his express bust.
ness. The hard tasks of ordinary
men were forbidden him. He became
an insurance agent, in which posi-
ton he did not need to do bodily
work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses. hard,
elastic, etc, with never any conter-.r
ment. One day his mother told hir1
something she had just found out. II
was, a simple and easy thing for hirn
to do. He lost no time. @7'

the highest prizes to be won in such

County Agent l. n. Bartlett, Miss

lead in the arrangements for the exhibit,
were satisfied that if this years success
could be maintained each year-if not

There was never so fine an exhibit

served things bottled up for winter use;
and in the cooking line there were ex-
cellent things credited to girls ranging
from only seven to ten years of age
As the award of premiums, given in

girls, but fairly represented most Of

The funds for the exhibit were dona-

For two days this week. Monday
and Tuesday-Addison County and
Brandon boys and girls, with a dem
onstration of their farm and home work
at Grange Hall, Middlebury, well de-
monstrated that they are in the front
rank among the progressive boys and
girls of Vermont. 1t was the best eX-
hbit of its kind held in this county,
better in one of two departments than
even the County Fair, and President
John E. Weeks of the Addison County
Agricultural Society, who is an inter
ested patron of the boys and girls
work. admitted this frankly as he in
spected the exhibit on Tuesday.
The first floor of Grange Hall was
devoted to the girls work, with an ex-
cellent showing of cooking, canning,
sewing and drawing; the basement
floor was well filled with a display Of
vegetables and woodcraft; outside the
hall were exhibits of several varieties
of hens, ducks and rabbits, while the
general live stock exhibit took up one
of the barns on the Fair Grounds.
There were 225 exhibitors and prob
ably 1900 separate articles exhibited,
the quality of all of which was so good
that the judges had a difficult time in
making the awards. The judges were:
Miss Marjorie Luce and Miss Emma
Fuller, for canning, sewing and cook
ing; E. L. ingalls,, vegetables and hand
icrafts Charles Harris, calves and pigs
Henry James, sheep; Charles Palmer
and E. B. Cornwall, poultry.
The hall was crowded several times
with both adults and school children.
On Monday evening there were adj
dresses by Judge Weeks the Rev, H.
c. Newell and E. L. ingalls,, State Club
Leader Mr. Weeks talked on thrift,
and declared that it meant a great deal
to young people to start early and to
start right in cultivation of habits of
thrift, industry and honesty. He dis
played, as illustrative of his talk, the
first half dollar which Judge Week S
father had earned when boy in
1878, or l0l years ago-a coin he had
always treasured as sort of keystone
of thrift.
Mr.. ingalls, described the organiza-
ton of the boys and girls club work,
showing lantern pictures Of various pro-
jects carried out by Vermont young
sters. There are now 9S clubs in the
state, in eleven of the fourteen coun-
ties. Last year there were $4,000 boys
and girls enrolled, and their product
was valued at over 100000.

ANOTHER $1,000 IS
MR.. HEPBURN'S GIFT

Middlebury College was pleasantly
surprised yesterday morning by the an
nouncement by President Thomas at
the chapel exercises that A. Barton
Hepburn of New York, donor of Hep
burn Hall and Middlebury's most gen
erous patron, had sent his check for
$1,000 to be used in the purchase of
books for the French department. Mr..
Hepburn had become interested in the
reorganization of the foreign language
work at Middlebury under DR.. H. p.
Williamson de Visme, and proud of the
reputation it was establishing, he de-
sired to show his appreciation with a
contribution to the work. 1t will enable
the French department to add a notable
collection of French books to those al
ready in the college lirbary.
Mr.. Hepburn, who is one of the most
prominent bankers and tinanciers in
America, has an article in the Novem-
Der number of The American Magazine,
with suggestions to aid the small in
vestor in handling money safely. In
this article he declares that there are

ing had money to invest, are being
vctimized by promoters of worthless
stocks "The truth is", he says, 1T is
as difficult to keep money as it is to
make money We are having a rather
unpleasant test of the idea that anyone
with capital can make money-unpleas-
g tt,o IF
who, for the first time, have acCumu
lated money and then have exchanged
these unexpected earnings for worthless
stocks"
Mr. Hepburn recently gave to the
New York Chamber of Commerce
100000, the income from which is to
be used in conducting regular examina
tions for young men wishing to enter
business offices.

College to Have Band Again

Dean E. J. Wiley announces that
Middlebury College will have a band
again this year and one better than
any that the College has yet seen.
The revival has been made possible
partly by an appropriation made by
the Trustees at their last meeting and
partly by the decision of the student
body to stand by the organization and
make it a success this year.
The band leader for this year has
already been procured, Howard Ha-
zelton, leader OF the Bristol Band being
selected for this position. Hazelton
has had number of years experience
as band leader and is one of the best
baritone players in this section.
