an investment, rather than an expense.
An item of expense is something to
be pinched and trimmed and whit
tied down on every occasion; bat
every dollar iudiciously placed in
advertising will come back bringing
one or more with it.
The wise farmer will patronize his
local paper. Advertising like char
ity and some other things, ought
properly to begin at home. And
when it comes to reaching the buy

county there is no medium so GER

Gently been worked out by DR., Charles
Davidson of Greenwich observatory,
says London Tit-Bits. 1t takes an
appalling amount of light to weigh
an ounce, he says, and the cost, as
supplied by gas and electric light
companies, works out at something
like f10000,00O.
The sun showers down on us 100
tons of this valuable stuff every day,
says the doctor, yet we often neglect
this free gift and prefer to pay f10,-
100000 an ounce for a very much in
feriOr quality.
If the sun charged us for his mag
nificent light at the same rate as the
gas and electric light companies, we
should have to pay f57,344,OOO,OOO,OOO

a year; but the sun does not charge

The latest German postage stamp
shows four young oak-shoots springing
from the stump of a dead-and-gone
tree, to signify the resurrection Of the
new Germany from the old. The de-
signer of the stamp evidently over
looked the fact that while shoots may
spring from an old stump and flourish
in a small way yet the stump itself
never grows into a great tree again.
The Oak-shoots fill an oval frame or

Trail through the Green Mountains

though Leverett Smith is only l3 years
of age Captain Congdon stated that
the boy has been of great help to him
in his work this summer, Together
they have mapped the main section of
the Long Trail with all the cross
trails, from Jacksonville to Bolton.
James H. Eaton, son of Professor
Eaton of the University of Vermont,
has just completed the mapping of
the trail through Smuggler's Gap,
Last season, Captain Congdon mapped
the trail from Middlebury Gap to Boil
ton, so that the entire Long Trail is
now mapped, with all the cross trails
from Johnson and Jeffersonville down
as far as Middlebury. Maps of that
section of the trail which was mapped
last year are now on the market. Maps
of that part which Captain Congdon
has worked on this year will be ready
about next January or February. Two
new trails, recently cut, which will be
included in these new maps, are those

WHY SIGN BEFORE YOU READY

ASSERT POWER OVER DEATH
Two East Indians Make Extraordi-
nary Claims, Naturally Some
what Hard to Prove.

The dead can be brought to life
This remarkable claim has just been
made by woman doctor of Rangoon
(Burma).
She claims to have prepared certain
remedies, which are to be taken in
ternally and applied externally for a
week, at the end of which any dead
person will revive! AS may be ex-
pected, she keeps her remedies a Sc
cret and she will not disclose their
ingredients to anybody, writes S. B.
Banerjea of Calcutta.
She further claims that the dead
person, when revived, will have a new
mind and better features. The treat
ment to be completely successful
must be continued for month or two.
The Burmese doctor has created a
sensation in the country. Some are
scOfing at her, while others are urg-
ing the authorities to test her claims,
In this connection, may state that
some time ago a Hindu doctor made
similar claim and requested me to
secure a dead body for him. Now, no
Hindu or Mussulman will allow any
experiment to be made on the dead
body of near and dead relative.
Their religion forbids such expert
menting. Soon after the doctor had
asked my help, a distinguished Hindu
knight, whom I knew, died. was
urged to sound his relatives. I did
sound them, but my request was re-
jected. approached certain doc
tors, but they all laughed at me and
refused to help me.
The Hindu doctor, I regret to say,
will not disclose his mode of treat
ment. He will not charge anything.
He wants to be judged by his results.
But who will care to help himI

Tin as a Common Bond.

1t is not surprising that the United
States, where almost every variety of
eatable has found its way into tin
cans for preservation, should use
nearly twQ-thirds of the total produc-
ton of tin in the world But it may
be an unexpected discovery to find
that the South American country, Bo-
livia supplies about One-Quarter of
the total output. In consequence, BO-
livia, a producer, wants to make
friends with the tin-using republic
to the north, and more so now that
the United States has its own smelters
to refine the ore, an innovation due
to the war. The South American ma
ton hopes to secure a loan for COM
pleting the Pan-American railway in
order to improve commercial facilities.
As long as the canning of fruits and
vegetables continues td flourish as
It has in the past, in the United States,
