Almost every day somebody reports
seeing one Of our Manchester road
signs at some distant hotel in Maine,
New Hampshire, New York or some
other state where they were placed.
1t is very gratifying TO learn that
all the summer hotels and boarding
houses in Manchester have reason to
expect a big seasons business.
The summer resort business Of the
town is a good one, even in of years,
and this year the employment given
on new summer cottages and in other
lines Of summer work has kept about
all the permanent labor in town EN-
ployed.
Our neighbors in East Dorset have
complained somewhat about our cards
directing traffic by way Of Middletown
Springs to Rutland.
Perhaps the cards do eNaggerate
somewhat the condition Of the road
which Is under construction as II Is
almost always in passable condition as
required by the contract.
The road to East Dorset is in good
shape and nearly completed.
At the next monthly meeting of the
Board Of Trade on June 18th, James
p. Taylor, Secretary Of the Burling-
ton Chamber Of Commerce and of the
Greater Vermont Association, will be
present and talk to the members. Mr..
Taylor is the Vermont propaganda
extraordinary. The "Vermonter" says
Of him.
Taylor loves Vermont He recog-
nized at once her tremendous possibll-
tiles as the peer Of all the States of
America. and felt that il was worth
his while TO devote so much Of his
life. and expend so much Of his
dynamic force and genial optimism
toward bringing those possibilities in
70 living reality"
Mr.. Taylor Is the principal promot-
er Of the Long Trail" Of the Green
Mountains.
No member Of the Board Of Trade
should miss the opportunity 70 hear
Mr.. Taylor.

PHRENOLOGY CALLED A FAKE

There has recently been a marked

ognomy as indicative of psychic traits,
etc. This sort Of thing "goes'' wonder
fully well, inasmuch as the average
person Is much interested In his own
face and In what it may be supposed
to express.
Physical anthropOlogists. however
are firm In asserting that there Ia
nothing whatever In the idea. There
Is no essential relation between the
features of human Individual and his
character-beyond. Of course, the fact
that disposition and temperament may

nate Wettins and DryinS 60
Which They Are Subjected.

Between the wagon builder, alter
nately wetting and drying a board to
bend It to the desired shape. and the
house chimney, grotesquely leaning to
ward the east, brick masons say there
ig similarity. The leaning chimney Is
a subject on which even the doctors
disagree. but the theory referred to
seems the most plausible.
Chimneys lean toward the east. A
little observation anywhere will prove
this. Even the best-built affair of
brick and mortar acquiring age. often
begins 10 lean. Various theories are
advanced, but the explanation Of al
ternate wetting and drying seems the
best.
Chimney walls collect more or less
moisture during the night, on all sides.
Now, IL the broad side of the chimney
} ig toward the east, and II the sun
strikes that part of the chimney first,
that side dries out much quicker than
the north or south side, or the western
side. In time Of rainfall. the east side
ordinarily is dried the quickest. This
general condition has the effect OF
pulling the chimney toward the east.

The THIRD DAY OF
THE HEALING MISSION

Notwithstanding the business ac-
tiyities and household duties Tuesday
morning, Grace church was well filled
and almost the entire congregation
were supplicants at the chancel rail TO
receive blessings in soul and body.
Preceding the regular mission serv-
ice holy communion will be administer
ed every morning at o'clock and spe-
cial PRAYERS will be offered for those
afflicted in body and soul.
Mr.. Blandford grows in power from
one register and TO fill out their cards
carefully in order to facilitate his
work. He also stated that If school
children were in need of healing, it
would mean much more to them TO
attend the mission for a week. Give
the children chance.
Rev. Neighbour announced that
autos would be provided for those
who were unable to attend the serv-
ices for the lack of conveyance.
q Mr.. Blandford grows in yower from
pday to day. "More About Jesus" is
the theme of the mission, and he
delves deeper into the scriptures and
presents a new and enlarged vision
of fhe goodness, purity and power of
Christ who is one with the Father.
Christ went about doing good and
went when they refused his offer Of
help. So many are not willing to
open their ewes to the new things
whiLl may save their lives and bring
them blessings. All that is desirable
in us is the workmanship of God,
not the evil or i'll health. If you at
tack one of Gods fundamentals in the
scripture you destroy the whole. God
does not like lazy workers. We must
Fuse not only our prayers but our
whole being.
The first half-hour following the
lecture was devoted to prayers for the
absent ones and those afar off. Then
the laying on of hands. Many left
feeling benefited and comforted in
body and soul.
At the evening service the church
was filled to it's capacity and clergy
men of other churches were present
Mr.. Blandford in his lecture delineat-
ed the character and beautiful at
tributes of Christ, who was the only
one God could absolutely trust. He is
the greatest man in human history
He expressed the will of God in his
life's work of healing. We may also
express that will in what we do. what
we say and what we are. Jesus said
life was more than meat. The human
race cannot afford to neglect any
thing that will help to build up Gods
kingdom. God helps those who helr
themselves GAS thy faith SO shall il
be unto thee" Many passages Of
scripture were dwelt upon.
Tonight Mr.. Blandford will tell tn.
whole story Of Christian healing il
