KEEPING YOUNG.

No subject, perhaps, is of such ever
freshly blooming interest as the one of
retaining youth. Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor of the telephone, gives his
rule in a current magazine. He says the
mind should conduct its own education,
and keep on conducting it. For this he
has three simple rules: Observe. Re
member! Compare"
Keeping the eyes of the body and the
mind alike open to new material is i'm
portant. Then, one should remember
what one has observed, and compare it
with other observations. You will find
yourself thinking out conclusions. These
conclusions are real knowledge and they
are your own This method, he says,
made John Burroughs a great naturalist
Napoleon a great general, and it is the
foundation of all education. Save your
strength" used to be dinged into the ears
of youth, especially feminine youth Now
people are learning that both mind and

power The more they are used. tn,

FORTS FOR SALE.

Do you want to buy a fort, cheap, or a

defense sites, military reservations, old
army posts for which there is no present
and should be no future need or use
Some are on the Atlantic and others
on the Pacific. Still others, in the
mountain states, served long as stations
for the regulars who used to keep the
Indians in order. The cutting down of
our military establishments and the in
fluence of developing military science
upon Notifications of every kind have put
them ON the market.

COSTLY TRUCK HAULAGE

Harold MCGEE, consulting engineer for
the Akron, O., municipal research bureau,
disagrees with the policy of building ex-
pensiye highways to facilitate truck traf-
fc.
He points out that the heavily loaded
trucks wear out the best pavements long
before the bonds which build the roads
are paid. The public pays in road taxes
the difference between haulage of these
heavy loads by truck and their haulage by
rail Instead of being an economical pro-
ceeding, he says, it is unreasonably ex-
pensive.
As a counter proposition Mr.. MCGEE
advocates the distribution of road funds
to make good side roads of macadam or
gravel as well as main travelled roads
constructed to bear ordinary traffic Then
he would have the heavy hauling turned
back to the railroads which are suited for
it.
Before the $75.OOO,OOO federal appro-
priatiOn and the big state appropriations
are disbursed for road construction
throughout the country it would be we'll
for all authorities concerned, including
the tax payers, to study the MCGEE sug,
gestion.

Industry Directory for Vermont.
BARRE Times

That proposed industrial directory of
the state of Vermont to be published by
the state commissioner of industries
ought to prove a valuable volume a
means of publicity inasmuch as it will
bring before the public the many-sided
phases of the industrial life of Vermont
which heretofore have been unknown or
little known. There probably are indus
tries in the state which have been little
known outside of their own immediate
surroundings; there surely are some i'm
portant industries that have never come
to the attention of the public as a whole.
Therefore, the publication of this indus
trial directory and it's circulation to a
certain extent outside of the limits of
Vermont will aid materially in advertis-
ing some of VermOnt's wares. Inciden-
tally, the book should serve to the advan-
tage of the concerns listed. The manu-
featuring interests of the state ought to
be anxious to become listed in the direc-
tory because of the direct benefits to ac-
crue to them.

When leaving the Office of a prominent

Following is an interesting letter from

me night and day. a friend induced me
TO use Barnes Mysterious Pain Ease,

convinced me that Mysterious Pain Ease
is a truly wonderful remedy for sprains.

David Lloyd George, whose coming
visit to America is being widely dis
cussed, today celebrates his fifth anniver-
sary as England's premier. History will
remember Lloyd George as the man who
piloted Britain through the greatest war
the world ever has known When he
came to the premiership ne was known as
the idol of the British democracy. His
extreme radicalism had made him at
times zone of the most hated men in
England particularly among the arts
tocracy. But the events of the past five
years have proved that the little Welsh
man who knew the extremes of poverty
in his youth. can deal as energetically, as
determinedly, and as fearlessly with the
masses as with the classes. when the well
fare of the nation demands it. Although
Ia little man, almost frail in physique he
has been such q successful fighter that he
scarcely knows the meaning of defeat.

Howe of the bennington Banner writes
an editorial which sounds as though he

editor writes as though he intended to be
statesman. but most of US never really
take the step. If Editor Howe really in
tends to be a candidate for governor, he
may think Foote and Brigham would di-
vide the farmer vote and give an editor Il
chance to win.
