THE AMERICAN LEGION
Burlington Post to Soon Move to New
Quarters on Church Street

Burlington Post, No. Q, American
Legion, will soon move into its new rooms
over the store of the Miles &, Perry COM
pany on Church street Work Is progress
ing rapidly on these rooms. A new hard
wood floor is being laid on the fourth
floor of this building in order that the
Legion will have a good meeting hail.
and hall which can be used. also, for
small dancing parties during the winter
months. When the rooms have been re-
decorated and the repairs are complete.
the Legion will have an excellent estab-
lishment for it's new home.
When the repair work on the rooms
themselves is completed, the next PROPOSE
ton is to furnish them in a fitting man
ner. All kinds of furnishings cost money
these days, and the members of the
Legion in Burlington are not oversupplied
with this very important medium of ex-
! change. However, means of solving
this difficulty has presented itself in the
offer Francis A. Kelley of Troy. N. Y,
national chaplain of the American Legion,
to come to Burlington and give his serv-
| ices to the boys here with a lecture at
the Majestice theatre on the afternoon
of January %.
Chaplain Kelley's ability as a speaker
! is already we'll known in Burlington
| through his address at the Chamber of
Commerce banquet at the Hotel Vermont
early in December. No speaker who has
been in in the city in years has stirred
the practical business men of Burlington
to such a point Of enthusiasm as did
Chaplain Kelley that night
| Having this in mind, the Legion COM
mittee is expecting that the demand for
tickets will be so great that there will
be no tickets on sale at the theatre on
the day of the lecture
| The box seats, and not to exceed the
ten front rows on the floor. will be re-
served. The entire balance of the house
will be sold at a fiat price and not re-
served.
! The reserved seats can be secured at
the office Of Paul Kicker. 1872 Main street.

: or by telephone 105) will be carefully
looked after The general admission
tickets will be on sale at the Mcleod
Brothers Shoe store. II. c. Humphreys
; Inc Lane Press and with Mr.. Thornton
at the Chittenden County Trust company
Tickets will also be in the hands of many
Legion members, and any member if re.
!quested, will secure tickets for those
desiring them.

Weak, Thin, Nervous
People Should Take |

What Il 10 And How II Increase

Judging from the countless prep.|

continually being advertised for thsl
purpose of making thin people 1eshyI
developing arms and neck, and n
placing ugly hollows and angles
the soft curved lines Of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousand
OF men and women who keenly fed
their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are ofte.
due to starved nerves. Our bodial
need more phosphate than is contaij
ed in modern foods. PHYSICAL
claim there il nothing that will SUI
ply this deficiency 60 well as th,
organic phosphate known amouI
druggists as bitro-phosphate. Wild

BY feeding the nerves directly al
by supplying the body cells with y
necessary phosphoric food elemenna
bitro-phosphate should soon producl
a welcome transformation in the az
pearance: the increase in weight IN
quently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also CARRIE
with 1t a general improvement in hi
health. Nervousness, sleeplessned
and lack of energy, which nearly a
ways accompany excessive thinnes1
should soon disappear, dull eyea

THE THEOLOGICAL MIND.

Woodrow Wilson once referred to his mental
processes as being dominated by Single
track mind" At the time tho phrase was
coined, the presidential mind in question was
moving in the direction the people OF this coun-
try wanted to see it move and so all was we'll
But under normal conditions, the single
track mind, like the single-track railway sys-
tenn is mighty poor convenience. Civlllza-
ton demands many-sided men. The SINGLE
track mind is medieval and bound to run into
drifts of public sentiment in an age OF tolera-
ton and cooperation.
And now a commentator in London news
paper upon the doings Of the peace council re-
fers to Mr. Wilson as a man with "a theological
mind' The phrase which this British commen-
tator employs is not entirely without It's IL
Elimination to Americans even though we do
not go in very much for theology.
Mr.. Wilson is in short dogmatlc man. he
is bound to be right even though he has to move
heaven and earth and call black white The
theological mind will not admit that it is ever
in the wrong. If the world moves away from
its position SO much more odium upon the world
So his inflexible theological mind compels
Woodrow Wilson in humanitarian age to go
the distance Of absolutism. There are no
switches, turntables nor returning rails on the
one-track system.
The world has been slowly realizing the dis
advantages Of the theological mind in politics.
From the moment of the presidents embark
alton for Europe until the present hour, his
mind has been inexorably moving in its single
direction.

BoI.sHEv1sM IN ENGLAND.

The British system of government is pecul
iarly sensitive and responsive to the demands
of public opinion If the people of England de-
sired to adopt bolshevism, it would be hard for
cabinet member to offer successful resistance
to this desire.
An issue has now been raised which may test
the strength of the British constitution IN
conflict between the government and extreme
radicalisn1- The national executive committee
OF the miners federation has threatened big
strike in order to force naturalization OF the
mines upon Premier Lloyd George.
Vernon Hartshorn, labor member who rep
resents the executive committee of the miners,
federation, has declared that, if it comes to
question of striking for higher wages or for ma
t,onalzation the miners will strike for nation
alization. Fortunately for England, public
opinion will not support the demands OF the ex-
treme labor faction The premier felt that he
had the country behind him when he recently
stated that any attempt to carry out the extrem-
ists' program by violence would be challenge
70 free government and would as such be fought
to the death.
OF course the election of labor government
might enable bolshevism to have It's way IN
England Many of the tories are In sympathy
with LLOYD Geoge, while the liberals are divided
because Asquith is opposed to the present gov
ernment's home and foreign policy. Premier
Iloyd George is no socialist, although the hide
bound British conservatives accuse him OF be-
ing one. He is, however, an opportunlst IN
uolitics. and neither he nor any other states
man can accomplish the impossible.

Lincoln's Education.

Minneapolis Journal: We mistake
il we think Of President Lincoln as
umeducated. He had splendid edu-
cation for what fell to him to do and
he had 1t at his hands and tongues
end. He did not get this education in
the ways familiar to the schools nor
in the great universities, but who
would say that the mind that turned
off the Gettysburg address or the two
great inaugurals was uneducated?
His education came from reading and
study of the great masterpieces of
literature of his fellow men and Of
life itself Observation and deep
thinking on these things had given
him a masterful education that was
at his hand when the great needs OF
his life came and the great problems
rushed for settlement.

MYSTERIOUS MASSACHUSETTS.

More Massachusetts towns have held local
elections upon which occasions as before the
electors have mysti6ed to a great extent the
electorate of other states by voting Eyes on
the license question. Two towns, notably, have
been added to the license list, one being Lee, a
place where many Connecticut tourists stop to
buy gasoline and Provincetown, where all auto
mobilsts stop because it is impossible to go
further until an ocean-going car shall have been
invented. @.
Provincetown voted Eyes for the first time
in it's history, the vote being two hundred and
six to one hundred and sixty-two and we cam
not see what Provincetown gains by the ballot.
Provincetown is naturally dry except for the
presence Of much salt water, and the soil is so
sandy that, as one critic has observed, one can
not raise an umbrella there. One can see why
the town should yearn for irrigation, but one
cannot see why it refrained from Transforming
