DRUGGISTS LICENSES
Two More Get Authority to Sell Liquor
on Physicfans' Prescriptions

Two more druggists have taken out
United States licenses to fill prescriptions
with liquors. Eugene Gosselin of North
Champain street. this city, and Louis
Rivers of Montpelier are the druggists
who. in addition to A. C. Booth, will
handle the prescription business.
The United States licenses are not is
sued to every druggist who may apply
but only TO those who have permission
from the State to handle intoxicating
liquors. That means that a license can
only be granted In IA place voting wet on
the question of druggists licenses and
only to the druggists who take out u
State license. The government fee for this
license remains at the old price of S25
Even when a druggist gets all of the
licenses necessary to handle liquor he is
not sure of getting any business as the
matter is entirely up to the physician
who make out the prescription. The doc
tor signifies what druggist shall be
favored with the business. With all this
red tape to getting liquor. no person can
have more than a pint every ten days
and no prescription can be filled more
than once. as 1t is marked cancelled
Some of the specialists who were con-
suited when the law was being enacted
stated that very little whiskey was
enough, and the amount really needed
was shown TO be surprisingly small.

were brought into play and no water was
used.
The fire evidently started from defective
wiring as the part most burned was in
the partitions. 1t was evident that some
one had attempted to fight the flames
with the use of salt before the fremen
were called for large amount of this
was found strewn about the floor Some
of the members of the Klfa club smelled
ton one. Chief Stockwell was at station
three and on hearing the call went direct
ly to the fire. The smoke was then pour
ing out of the second story and he or
dered a general alarm turned in.
The interior of the lavatory at this time
was a mass of fire and the heat was
intense. The three lines Of chemical were
concentrated there with the result that
the main fire was extinguished in short
time. After that the fremen were busy
in getting stray sparks out of the parti-
ton.
The total loss last evening was esti-
mated at a thousand dollars. Miss
Rogers and the Kifa club apartments
were not damaged to any extent except
by the smoke. The sorority suffered a
severe loss to its furniture which was
not covered by insurance. The heaviest
loss falls on the building which was in
sured. The interior of the lavatory is
ruined and two other rooms are consider
ably. It was necessary to cut into the
walls and that increased the damage.

MAKING LINOLEIN

Simple as common kitchen lmoleum ap-
pears, the process of making it is rather
intricate The skill of the workmen,
writes s. +. Conybeare in the Du
Font Magazine, is called into play at al
most every step. First, the best and
cleanest cork waste, as the scraps are
called. is ground into flour. The high
est grade of pure inseed oil then is boil
ed and oXidized under the watchful eye
of chemist until it has become rub
ber-lke mass. which is mixed with the
cork flour and other ingredients and is
pressed on a burlap base.
From the linseed oil linoleum gets its
name-linum, flax and oleum, oil. After
the oil is boiled. 1t is pumped into NOV
able conveyers in the oxidzng sheds
which are about 30 feet high. These con-
veyers have little holes in the bottom,
and as they travel from one end Of the
shed to the other. the oil runs through
on sheets of scrim that are hung from the
ceiling to the floor and gradually alb
serbs oxygen from the air. Heat and
oxygen together turn ii into scmi-solid
The process is tedious, but it gives lino-
leum toughness and durability.
After the skins" or sheets of oil. from
the oxidizing sheds have been run through
metal rollers and reduced to pulp, tho
oil is cooked in kettles shat hold about
three tons apiece. and rosin and several
other materials are added to make the
cement or binder that holds the pulver-
lied cork together. When the cement is
cooled it is cut into chunks about foot
square and four or five inches thick and
sent to the mixing building, where 1t is
put through one machine after another

OPALS NOT UNLUCKY
Scott Responsible for Their Unfor-
tunnte Reputation

Do you know why opals are considered
unlucky? OF sourse you don't 1t is
safe venture that none of your acuuain-
tances will be able to tell you. Opals are
not unlucky-no more unlucky than a
diamond, ruby or any other gem. But
the superstition that they bring msfor-
tune is universal And not one person in
n million knows why. The secret is found
in the history of the opal, says the Ia
coma Ledger.
In ancient times and in the Middle Ages
the opal was one of the most highly es-
teemed of gems. It was regarded as a
talisman, and it was supposed to bring
good luck and to make its wearer beloved
In fact. there was nothing 10 prove that
bad luck ever was attributed to the wear
ing of the opal. However. in John Rus
kin's "Deucalion" is found the story of
the libel and its refutation.
Sir Walter Scott was the creator of
the opal myth. In Anne of Geierstein. ="
one OF his novels written in the early
part of the 18th century, he introduced an
opal which was supposed TO be endowed
with magic powers and which brought
disaster and tragedy to all who came
within its influence. The story Of the
master romancer Of his time was widely
read and the superstitution that all opals
are unlucky was born. 1t travelled around
the world and became firmly fixed in the
popular Imagination
The lightning Ridge opal fields in Aus
tralia We're discovered a little after Sir
Walter set the myth going. When Queen
Victoria assembled the throne in 1897 her
coronation gifts included some magnifi-
cent opals sent by her loyal subjects in
the island continent. The young queen
was delighted with the gorgeous gems
She declared nothing beautiful could
be unlucky.
But, despite the efforts of the royal
champion, the myth persists vaguely
throughout the world to-day, when SUI
perstition is supposed to have been con-
signed to the limbo of forgotten nonsense

More than 100000 additional has come
into the church Golfers since the close of

CHRISTMAS SEALS
st. JOhnsbury ana North bennington
Lead in the Sale

Returns from the sale of the Red Cross
indicate a close race between st. Johns
bury and North Bennington to secure the
pennant for selling the most seals per
capita. Both places report that they have
sold slightly over six seals per CAPITA
In 1913 no seals were sold. In 1917 tho
pennant for towns of less than 5000 popu-
1ation was won by Nergennes, selling six
seals per capita, and for towns over 5000
population 1t was won by Bennington with
5.4 per capita with Brattleboro close with
sale of 3d. No returns from Brattle-
boro, Bennington or Vergennes have as
yet been received and it may be that
these towns will increase their former
record, selling enough to secure the lead
ing places.
Windsor reports that they have sold
nearly six seals per capita and when the
final sale is over will go ahead of St
Johnsbury
The Vermont tuberculosis association
estimates that the proceeds from the sale
of the Christmas seals will be at least
$4,000 This is $1,000 less than the sale in
1917 but in that year one dollars worth
of seals was sent out by mail to every
owner of an automobile in the State
while this year no seals have been sent
out by mail except where there were no
local agents. Therefore, the net profit
from the sale Of the seals will probably
equal that of 1917.
With this money the association plans
to secure nurses, provide them with spe-
cial training and have everything ready
to carry out the bigger program for the
prevention of tuberculosis that is to be
finenced by a drive which was post
poned from December to 10 to a date in
the latter part of May.
