to be success. Whether or not it will
be a success depends on two very sim
pie things. There must be quite a num-
Der of gifts of FIVE hundred dollars or a
thousand dollars, or more, each. There
must also be a very large number of
smaller gifts. The largest gift thus
far is $500, the smallest % cents. Large
gifts from all those able to make large
gifts are needed. But so, too, are small
gifts needed from all those who are
able to give only small gifts.
The drive started about the middle of
February. It ought to be ended by the
middle of April. Help the Homes to
make the announcement by April Is
that the $4,000 have been secured.

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid.

rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat.
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused hy uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood It is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
| from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
/ soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a teaspoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithis
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject t.
rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant
effervescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.-Adv.

The Kurn Hattin Homes.
{ bennington Banner

In these days of many calls for mon
ey the test may well be the value of
the money as an investment When a
person puts money into the bank or
buys bonds or real estate he does it
with the future income from the prop
erty in mind. He considers what inter
est it will pay.
The situation relative to giving mon
ey for public purpose is precisely the
same. VIII it return dividends to the
community or state or to society in gen
eral? If it will the investment is worth
making.
The kurn Hattin Homes for boys are
making a special drive for $4,000.
They are doing it by letter and circu-
lar instead of sending around a COM
mittee or a special agent. The money
is needed to wipe out a deficit that
has resulted from the increased costs
of the past two years.
The Kurn Hattin Homes are one of
the public institutions that has always
paid dividends in service. During the
| past few years no less than six or
| phaned boys from Bennington have
| been given home and education at
| Kurn Hattin. The boys from there
practically all turn out well. If there
is anybody in Bennington county who
wishes to help a great and good work
they may well help this cause.
The trustees of Kurn Hattin this
| week make the following statement:
At very large expenditure of mon
ey and time and energy, a drive of ter
days or two weeks might have been or
gained. And such drive could certain
ly have been carried on with enthusiasm

CANNING MEAT.

The Women of Rutland county I'M
der the supervision of the home dem
onstration agent have canned 1900
pounds Of meat during the past winter
1t seems fair to assume this has been
largely done hy farmers wives, as the
agents work with that class 1t is
claimed this amount of meat bought as
needed during the summer would cost
$500 more than it has, put up in cans.
While 200 pounds of meat is quite
an amount, it seems like small amount
for county as large as Rutland to
have in store for summer use 1t is
about one-half pound per person
throughout the county ana that is a
small amount of meat per person to
have in store.
Looked at in another way, the result
seems larger This is beginning in the
art of preserving fresh meat for sum
mer use and is a good beginning It's
success will doubtless lead to much
more general adoption of the method
and in one or two more seasons devel
op into large proportions.
This would be very desirable on ac.
count of the economy it makes posi-
bic in the home. Meat can be purchases
in quantities that should make it cheap
er per pound and by canning the diff
ferent parts of ? quarter of beef tn,
consumption of the cheaper portions
can alternate with that of the choice
and more expensive cuts. Village ant
city women can adopt the canning o
meat to good advantage and max
economy and food supplies greater, an,
the use of meat in its most attractiv
condition more general Here. 5 hoping
that the industry of home preservation
of meat is in its infancy and that it vii
enjoy a long and useful life.

The Brattleboro Reformer seems to
object to the plan provided in the leg
islature for preserving the history of
Vermont 5 participation in the war.
The Reformer is not justified in criti-
eising the plan unless it has better
one to suggest. 1t is important that
the work be done and it does not help
the cause to be captious in the criti-
cism of minor notwithstanding
Banner.
In advocating that the compilation
Of a history of Vermont's part in The
war be done by someone skilled in such
work The Reformer considers that it
, suggested distinctly better plan than
the one which bids fair to be adopted
by the Legislature. The secretary of
civil and military affairs is nice young
man, but his title does not qualify him
as war historian.
