Vermont is justly proud of the ELI
ccncy aud the consequent prestige Of
It's public health department In this
Connection it is well for US to bear in
mind that Vermont was one of the first
states to put the promotion of sani-
tation and public health on a thor
oughly scientific and at the same time
practical state basis. In this connec-
ton the Mortified News says:
Zone of the poorest paid forms of
public service is the work done by
health officers and boards of health For
instance, in the state of Indiana, sal
aries paid to local health officers aver
age the munifcent sum Of two cents
per year for each inhahitant. After q
man has paid out hundreds Of dol
lars for sickness in his own home, anC
perhaps left hi best hopes under dcs
olatc little mound in the cemetery, h,
begins to realize that it IS worth NOR
than two cents a year to have you
health protected.
.'SMany towns that consider them
selves progressive viii get along WitI
health officers serving purely from pub
lie spirit or else paid some tritlin:
sum. While public spirit does lots o
good things. getting something flo
nothing is no better business propopsi
ton ii the public health business tha
in any other line Of work.
s'The state of North Carolina ha
done very progressive health work, b
cooperating with 10 counties in edit
cational campaigns. Lectures and den
constructions are given. homes are visitc,
and the people are encouraged to max
sanitary improvements.
&" As just one illustration of wh5
this system has accomplished, the deaf
rate from typhoid in these ten com
ties was reduced from 30 to :.

CHICAGO, Feb. Lower food prices,
with lower prices for live stock, will

foods exported from the United States,
this will cause a decrease in the demand
for supplies from this country, and the
| United States viii have to absorb the
surplus This will naturally result in
lower prices for the products, and lower
prices for live stock.
"When these lower prices will come

big slump in the provision market and
some drop has occurred in the livestock
market.
The European demand for food from
the United States Is normally heavy. but

partly on account of the lack of money
We could sell great quantities of good

WHY FOOD IS COSTLY
(By a Farnet)

The only way to reduce the high
cost of living is to cut out all lux
uries and let labor go back to pro-
ducing necessaries. My neighbors'
boys are in the ,city in auto factories
or making tires for pianos or working
in garages or anywhere but on the
farm.
Because milady in the city will pay
| 500 or more for set of furs, my
hired man will spend whole week
tracking measley skunk, and you
cannot blame him.
The only men left on the farms
are old men. The corn is in the
field unhusked. Ten per cent of my
neighbors are quitting the farms this
year, the younger ones to go in shops,
the older ones just quitting for lack
Fof help.
I Thousands of acres of land are go
ing to brush and, briers here because
there is no one to work on the land.
There is plenty of money, but no
one wants to work for what a farmer
can pay, altho farm labor has adj
vanced from 100 to 200 per cent in 20
years. City people complain of high
prices, but the worst is yet to come,
and almost every intelligent farmer
knows it..
You could not get sugar at any
price. The same thing will happen to
almost all farm products. If farmers
reduce their hours of work to CORE
spond to those in the city there will
be an immediate falling off of SO per
cent of all products, and then it will
not be question of price, but ques-
ton of food cards
What per cent of the American
people today are making Injuries
that we could all do without until we
bring down the price of necessaries +?
The high prices cannot get labor
and fertilizer he cannot produce at
any price, and "the farthest man
from the market is he who has moth
! ing to SELL"
City people complain of the high
cost of milk Yet I have seen Is milk
wagons passing a given place in the
lefty lin one forenoon and, the milk
selling at 100 per cent above cost of
production. Il; L
What would you think if we farm
ers had Is mail wagons or Is huck-
sters passing our door in one day?

Owe Judge A Man BY
His Face" Says Wildman

Many people whose credit rat
ings would class them as "rotten"
prove their innate honesty if.
they are given a fair chance, ac-.
cording to Joseph M. Wildman,
manager of the Levy Jewelry Co.,
of Rochester, N. Y. "a fireman
came in to see us not long ago
whose record with credit firms
was as bad as it could be-" says
| this jeweler. "He wanted a
watch that cost SIS.
Gas usual we judged the case
largely by the mans appearance
and his story. He had had sick
ness in the family during his
other transactions" he said, "and
could not make his payments.
We sold him the watch and he
never missed meeting a state
ment. Since then he has paid up
his old accounts. But that fire
man was classed as dishonest for
a long time by many houses
simply because he had been up
against it.
mine people out of every ten
you meet are honest, in my ex-
perience. The tenth is the abb
normal downright crook" added
the credit man.
people go into debt over their
heads. When they get in too
deep they cannot pay. But there
are mighty few actual dead beats
in the world.
GA lying axiom says men are
all alike. 1t is far from the truth.
Every individual is distinctly diff
ferent III traits and type. We
deal with each new customer as
la separate problem. Although
I'VE subscribe to a credit agency
we judge reliability largely thru
a persons face and his talk. If a
man is crook he will probably.
be clever enough to fool the
credit agency first"

the Near East
Relief will make to the country in
February for funds to support its
work among the starving peoples of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become independent and released
from bitter tlraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts Of humanity
which have prompted the people Of
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and Deeds, especially of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
~ hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. l call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results"

DOLLARS AND CENTS

Counting 1T only in dollars and
cents, how much did that last cold cost
you? A man may not always stop
work when he has a cold, but perhaps
it would be better if he did. 1t takes
about ten days to get completely rid
of cold under the usual treatment
That time can be much shortened by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and proper care of yourself, in fact,
a bottle of this remedy in the house
is a mighty good investment during
winter and spring months. Feb.
