SENATE PASSES DAY
ENFORCEMENT BILL
Slightly Amended from House Measure
Goes to Conference
Now.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 6.--The pro-
hibition enforcement bill was passed by
the Senate yesterday without a record
vote and virtually in the form it came
from the committee. The measure now
goes to conference for discussion of
amendments inserted in the House bill
by the Senate.
The only material change made in the
bill in the Senate was the addition by
amendment of the liquor and drug pro-
hibition act for the Panama canal zone
This measure has not yet been acted on
by the Houses
An llth hour attempt by Senator
Shields, Democrat, of Tennessee TO render
ineffective the whole section of the meas
ure relating to enforcement of wartime
prohibition failed, his own vote being
the only one cast ip favor of it, His
amendment would have limited the OPP
GRAFTON of the wartime law to the six
states in which demobilization camps
are located.
As it passed the Senate and goes to
conference, the bill defines as an intoxi-
cant any beverage containing more than
one half of one per cent of alcohol. The
Senate modified, however, some of the
most rigid provisions Of the House bill,
including that affecting private stocks
of alcoholic beverages held for personal
use.

DON'T PUT OFF REINSTATEMENT
Discharged Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Should Keep Up Insurance.

Something Of interest to discharged
men regarding their insurance is con-
tanned in the following announcement:
Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass, on July 25, signed decision Of
important interest to discharged sol,
diers, sailors and marines. In this de.
cision CT. d. AZ, w. R.. the secretary
ruled that discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines who have dropped or can
celled their insurance may reinstate it
within eighteen months after discharge
without paying the back premiums. All
they will be asked to pay viii be the
premium on the amount of insurance to
be reinstated for the month of grace in
which they were covered and for the
current month.
THUS, for example, if man dropped
$4,000 Of insurance in January, 1919,
and applies for reinstatement the lst Of
September for So 900, all he will have to
pay will be the premium for January
(the month OF grace on $1,000 and the
premium for September, on $1,000 Or if
he applies for reinstatement of the full
$4,000, he will pay total of two
months premiums on $4,000, one for
January and one for September He will
not have to pay premiums in either case
for the intervening months,
"0f course, every man who has dropped
his insurance should reinstate it imme-
diately, for the reason that if he should
die before reinstatement his dependents
win not receive any payment.
Therefore, / urge that care be taken
to make clear to every former service
man who has dropped his insurance that
the new ruling does not automatically re-
instate him, and to impress upon him
that he will be without insurance until
he voluntarily applies for and secures
reinstatement He should Immediately
apply for reinstatement for his own pro-
lection and that of his dependents. /"
Don't put off reinstatement Do it now.
Blanks and all necessary information
aid papers can be had at the Barre
home service rooms, Jackson block.

SMITH ENTERTAINS
MUCH COMPANY
More Than $4,000 Visitors Have Called
on Dana Smith at His "No. 9" Cot
tage on East Barre Road

With great interest and expressing
great pleasure in viewing the little un-
derground mansion of Dana Smith, thou
sands of tourists from all parts of the
United States and from parts of the old
world have visited his rustic home this
year and in the past six years 25,900
people have been shown through his
house. Situated about a mile from Barre
City on the main road to East Barre, in
quiet secluded place beside Honey
brook is Mr.. Smiths little home, built
back into the bank. The place is known
as mo. o." With no other motive than
making a home, Mr.. Smith, without a
family started this little house years
ago and to-day has place which is alb
solutely comfort to him. Nearly all
of the furnishings in the house were
made by his hands, including the paint
ings which decorate the walls. The
house contains five large rooms The
kitchen is built of cement walls and
is most modernly furnished and extreme
ly handy, showing the work of thor
oughly experienced workman. A small
den, partly furnished, has walls of paint
ings of familiar western scenes
The sitting room is comfortably fur
nished and is decorated with a number
of novel paintings of Mr.. Smiths own
tastes. A curtain over the entire bay
window bears a fine painting of west
ern scene of the Mississippi river and on
the outside Of the curtain is painted a
reproduction of his home, and when
drawn in the evening and a light in
the house it gives delightful effect
from the outside, Passing up wide,
open stairway leads to sleeping cham

room is large and number Of rustic
benches are placed tastily about it. Fresh
evergreen trees are kept in the room
and with the posts which are left in the
rough give the whole room park eff
feet The bedroom suite is probably
one of the finest pieces of workmanship
to be found around this locality, it being
made Of red birch and birdseye maple.
Many little handy pockets are built into
the cement walls, such as a match safe
and medicine chest, Mr.. Smith, who
has owned many homes throughout the
States and, by several misfortunes, has
had them broken up, lives alone and is
continually improving the premises. He
delights and takes much pride and inter
est in showing parties through his home.

PRISON ABUSES IN FRANCE.
Not chargeable to Generals Harris and
Grinstead, Says Cen ConnOr,

Paris, Friday, Sept, Brigadier Gen.
eral w. D. Connor, chief Of the service
Of supply of the American expedition
ary forces, was before the congressional
sub b-committee investigating army affairs
here nearly all day to-day, giving evi-
dence regarding the sale Of surplus sup
plies and prison abuses in France He
said that prisoners accused of simple in
fractions Of military rules should have
been separated in prisons from men
who were convicted of crimes, but
thought that Brigadier General w W.
Harts and Colonel j. I. Grinstead of the
l5sth infantry could not be held respon-
sible for abuses which have been under
discussion.
Colonel Grinstead was brought before
the board instead Of court martial as re-
suit of charges against him, and General
Connor said to-day that this action was
taken on a report by the Judge advocate
general, in whose opinion conviction
could not be obtained in the case

VERMONT is HEALTHY.
Only Four Infantile Paralysis Cases Re.
ported This Season.

Burlington, Sept. 6-At the regular
monthly meeting of the state board Of
health held Wednesday the proposition
of systematic supervision of the states
milk supply was brought up and E, s.
Brigham, state commissioner of agricul-
ture, was present to furnish the board
with desired information. Under the
old order of things it was a pretty diff
ficult thing to get any sort of uniformity
in regard to milk standards or conditions,
for there were 247 health officers to-
handle. Now, under the present system,
with only 10, better milk supervision
will be striven for as one of the first
things on the list of improvements.
While Vermont has been kept very free
from contagious disease, the officials
have always felt that there was room
for< improvement.
It was shown by the records of dis
eases for the month of August that Ver-
mont remained in very healthy condi-
tion and there are no epidemics. Those
diseases which are contagious are so
scattered as to show that there is no
one great source of contagion in Vermont
at present.
One Of the greatest causes Of satisfac-
tion over the situation is the small mum :.
ber of infantile paralysis cases reported
during the summer. There have been
only four Of these thus far,

increase in wages will avert a general
strike.

unions throughout the country are ex
pected to attend the convention and
these represent 100000 workers who, it
was stated, will tie up the transporta-
