1919 she canned 1861 quarts of
fruits, vegetables, meats, etc., besides
73 jars of jelly. From these prod
ucts Miss Blanchard derived a net
profit of $286.64, the market value of
the goods being 1851 40. This con-
test was open to all members of boys
and girls clubs in the state and there
were a large number of entries and
many good results.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the mid-winter meeting of
the Vermont State Pharmaceutical
association, held at Montpelier last
week, was the adoption of resolu-
ton asserting that it was the sense
of the state association that no pharm-
acist should dispense Intoxicating
liquors, even upon physicians pre-
scription until the federal and local
laws are made uniform and more
clearly fix the responsibility for illicit
sale of such liquors where 1T properly
belongs. These resolutions were
adopted because the American Medi-
cal association has pronounced aico-
hol of no therapeutic value; the ma
tional prohibition act limits the sale
of Intoxicating liquors to dealers IL
tcenSe upon physicians prescriptions
-
such sales; and because Of the odium
for illicit sales of Intoxicating liquors
has too often been placed upon phar
imacists.
Approximately $780,70O was ex-

of construction OF 81 new houses
where employees of the company may
l live. A club house was made out of
| one of the Jones & Lamson buildings
= which cost 100000. Its running ex-
2 penses are about $500 week.
