Hot Times Along

The Rutland correspondent of
the Manchester, n. H., Union has
the following observations upon
conditions on the Canadian border
since the passage of the Volstead
act:
Alone the northern frontier of
towns in Vermont it Is claimed
that the natives grin when told
that United States Senator Will
am p Dillingham; has Introduce
q bill in the Senate to impose 4
fine Of $1,000 for those convicted
Of counterfeiting stamps and la
bells of bonded distilled spirits. 1t
is not necessary for citizens of
the Estates" to counterfeit labels,
that being attended to, it is
claimed by the makers of "out-
law" whisky north Of the interHa-
tional boundary. Vermonters
pay no attention to labels and bay
rum, furniture polish, denatured
alcohol, hair restorer and a dozen
other kinds Of trance medicine
pass under the general characterl-
zati0n of "hooch." II is consider
ed an act Of bravery to drink from
an unlabelled bottle and in many
instances it has proven to be not
only foolhardy but fatal.
The census bureau is telling
the world" that there were "a
Indians in Vermont when the last
nos2-counting operations were
conducted. If the census bureau

north country the government will
have to revise It's figures. A Sat
Wday night spent at the cline

he Dominion Of Canada scattered
along the Vermont line will con-
vince the most casual observer
that there are more than "a Indi-
ans in Vermont. Those whose APP

tiated by q journey along Broad

The Pretty Girl Advertisement
A speaker before the Affiliated

tendency to advertise everything
by using pretty girl pictures. She
made fun of the pictures of women

made of some publishers who
think they can sell a trashy mag

of beauty on their covers.

CHATS WITH
YOUR
GAS MAN :

Home comfort is as typically
American as the Statue of Lib
erty. No other people in the
world have SO many domestic
conveniences.
Foreigners marvel at the
things which American house
keepers take for granted-a
central heating system, gas
equipped kitchens, mstantane.
Gus hot water supply in shin
ing white bathrooms. They re-
gard these things as Injuries for
the very rich. Americans ac-
cept them as a matter of course
without thought of where they
come from, or why. Yet the
story Of their development is
not an old one.
The gas stove, for example,
has been practical only since
1880. Its evolution from its
crude beginning to the efficient, |
economical appliance of today |
is a marvel; 100000 people !
in 1900 American communities
depend upon it for the prepare |
ton of food. This has been &C. |
conphshed by careful study |
and experimentation by gas ex-
perts to meet the pablo need.
