GETTING STATISTICS STRAIGHT
AND KEEPING THEM so.

The official statistician Of Montpelier
has the figures about Montpelier's nu-
merical condition not only on the tip of
his tongue but also down in black and
white so that reference can be male
easily and quickly to certain phases.
He has just completed the census of
children OF school age, and has combed
the city so completely that it is said
he has not skipped single child who
comes between the prescribed ages
More than that, he has each chi!d's
pedigree, so to speak, on card and
these cards are now in the form of
a card index so tina. they form a ready
reference system. This work is done
BY Charles DEF Bancroft and It is
more or less of hobby with him while
at the same time he makes business
Of it. Chasing statistics is q pleasant
vocation for Mr.. Bancroft. he has
done it in Montpelier for decades, and
he probably knows the families Of
Montpelier, and the children thereof as
no other person in the community does.
So very frequently, if not always, The
municipality engages Mr.. Bancroft to
do the enumeration that has to he
done; and Montpelier people take a
certain satisfaction in feeling that the
work is not sighted. II they want to
know how many children Of school age

SHORT OF BREATH
AND ALWAYS TIRED
This Describes the Condition of Many
Who Suffer from
Anemia.

When the blood is thin, as in an
emia, it lacks the red corpuscles that
take oxygen from the air we breathe
and carry it to the tissues of the
body. Oxygen is the part of the all
that sustains animal life.
When the blood cannot absorb and
carry oxygen the effect on the body
is the same as when the air is deficient
In oxygen, as in close room The re-
suit is feeling of suffocation often
described by anemic people as "short-
ness of breath"
Exercise, such as walking up stairs,
causes the heart action to increase, the
blood demands more oxygen and the
shortness of breath is combined with
paipitation of the heart. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, the blood making tonic, is
the remedy just suited for this condi-
I'm. These pills actually increase
The oxygen carrying capacity of the
blood and the shortness of breath and
palpitation are quickly corrected.

NO AUTO THIEVES PARADISE.

Three persons who are said to be
professional automobile thieves re-
ceiyed but scant consideration when
their cases came up before court in
Burlington, the men being sentenced
to states prison for terms varying
from three and one-half to four years.
The men had sdrifted into the state
from other parts of the country and
evidently were of the impression that
their operations would be comparative
ly easy in Vermont. As a matter of
fact, the stealing of automobiles in
Vermont ought to be a rather diff
cult operation because of the lack of
hiding places such as are to be found
in large city in which a stolen ma
shine might be stored until such time
as the excitement in the public mind
subsidies enough to permit, driving the
ear away or to allow thNss of the
car without much fear OF detection.
Vermont's open country does not lend
itself well to the covering up Of the
crime of automobile stealing provided
that the warning Of the theft Is Civ
en- sufficiently soon. At the same time,
the authorities must be reasonably
alert, aided by the cooperation Of the
public on the lookout for signs of sus
poets.

The collision between two teams in
the Mad river valley region, resulting
in one of the horses running away and
crashing into another team with such
force that the runaway horse was so
badly injured that it had to be killed,
is an object lesson in the desirability
of having horse drawn vehicles
equipped with lights-the Newspaper
reports say that neither one of the first
two colliding vehicles was so equipped.
1t is not only state law but it is good
policy from the standpoint of dollars
and cents to place such equipment. The
danger on the highways is not alone
from the presence of motor vehicles

result OF DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets IA vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil in his private

They do ali the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping. no injury to the
runs or danger from acid foods yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.

a broken Jaw. The surgeon, intent
on discovering the exact nature and
extent Of the injury. asked numerous
questions, to all of which the negress
returned evasive answers. Finally she
admitted she was "hit with a object"
Was it a large object" asked the
physician. "Tolable large" Was II
hard object or a soft object ?" 'ToP-
able hard" Was it coming rapidly
or slowly?" "Tol'able fast" Then her
patience exhausted, she exclaimed:
