CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE.
st. Johnsbury and Bennington Nearly
Tie in Largest Per Capita Sale.

The Vermont tuberculosis associa
tion that from returns 70
date, st. Jo~hnsbury leads in the sale Of
Red Cross Christmas seals with a per
capita sale of 81. seals, followed by
Bennington with a per capita sale OF
600 st. Johnsbury sold 54,2T0 seals.
Bennington sold 5S,254. If just the vii
lagos were taken in reckoning, Benning-
ton would secure the lead.
The highest per capita record before
was made in Bennington in 1917, 81.
To date Brandon stands third with a
per capita sale of s.. Brattleboro, is
fourth, 4.6; Barre, fifth, 4 sales per
capita.
The remarkable feature of the sale of
Christmas seals last year was that 1t
was practically all done by school chill
dren. In former years thousands of
letters containing 81 worth OF seals
were mailed. This year only a few
letters were sent out; the school chill
dren were given a clear field and there
is every indication that the total sale
will be greater than that of any pre-
vious year.
The cooperation of the school chill
dren has saved the Tuberculosis asso-
citation considerable expense money. IL
il believed that when the thousands
of children who sold Christmas seals
become voters the fact that they def
nitely worked for public health will in
fiuence them to have a greater interest
in this important field.

VERDICT FOR $4,000.
Given Williams Manufacturing Co. VS.
Insurance Company.

The jury in the case of the Williams
Manufacturing company VS.. the six in
! surance companies. that held the pol
! icies on the plaintiffs East Haven plant
that was burned, took the case at the
close of the session at Caledonia coun-
ty court at st. Johnsbury Tuesday aft
ernoon and at 1890 in the evening
brought in a verdict for the plaintiff to
recover $4,000 in full on the policies.
The set cases arose out of the FIRE of
the plaintiffs property on Jan, 81,
1919. and there were original cases
against seven companies. In the June
term of the Caledonia county court in
1910 before Judge Waterman these
were all on the docket and the one
against the insurance company Of
North America was argued before the
court. The demurrer was sustained
and the declaration was adiudged in
sufficient pro forma. The case went to
the supreme court and the Judgment Of
the county court reversed and the cause
remanded. At the December term of
the Caledonia county court in 1918 the
case was tried and the plaintiff re-
a verdict Of $1,000. Exceptions
werel taken and the case went up to
the supreme court, where the iudg-
ment of the county court was reversed
and the cause remanded for another
trial. The case was tried again at

Thinness and weakness are often due TO
