Power Of Progress.

Electricity represents the power OF
progress.
In the early days Of America In
dustry, mills were built on the banks
Of streams that water power could be
utilized. Next come the age Of steam
and factories were built near the rail-
roads that coal could be delivered TO
the plant Then cane the present
age OF electricity and the greatest In
dustrlal development the world has
ever known.
Today electricity brings the enor-
nous resources of the country's coal
mines and water power to the indus
trial plants Of the nation. BY the
throwing OF switch, industry is as.
sured instant and constant power
whenever needed, even though the
plant supplying the electrical power
may be hundreds Of miles away from
the consumer. Co.ordlnated research,
engineering. manufacturing and com.
mercial efforts have made possible
this quick delivery OF power at cost
which permits rapid and efficient de.
velopment of industry

DR.. ]. d. Patton sub district medical
officer Of the United States Veterans

in many sections Of the country the
idea was abandoned when the nation.

Bennington Is manufacturing
community without large contribut-

reason daylight saving has met with
greater approval here than in locali.

GYPSY TRAIL RUNS
UNDER RUBBER TIRES
Nomads Of the open Road Visit Ben
nInston in Modern Con-
uavancns

"The gypsies are coming, Ho, no.
Ho, ho. THE gypsies are coming, Ho,
no. HO, no." Two automobile loads
went through town Friday afternoon.
Their cars bore Michigan license
plates and. also, real matter-of.fact
gypsies: poes of various dimensions;
bedquilts, variously soiled and color
ed, stove pipes, boxes, and unlimited
number Of dark skinned dirty faced,
bright, black eyed youngsters Of both
sexe,
In the early morning two rather
discouraged looking Dodge cars, COW
cred delivery wagons, stopped in
front of tie Putnam house and
gypsy queen alighted. A townsman,
rather curlously inclined, happened
along and craned his neck over the
curb in an attempt to survey the
wealth Of miscel aneous, cluttered ma
terial pushed into the body space OF
the front car.
II would be hard to say what the
woman thought or how she liked to
have the stranger trying to peer in
to her travelling house. Sne began
to smile, showing two rows of nne
white teeth. Then she almost laugh
ed cut loud and Immediately clapped
her arm which was sheathed with the
sleeve OF the mans coat she was
wearing, over the lower part Of her
face. At the same instant, a hatiess
urchin, about eight or ten years OF
age, wriggled out OF the rear end OF
the car onto the ground. His straight
back hair, certainly 1t could have
stood abundant ciipp ng about the
ears and neck, had as much order
about it as a hay.cock that has been
freshing forked open to the sun. He
set his legs into a quick little lateral
motion and the rough trousers which
he was wearing fell to their proper
distance about the bottoms. He then
cast an inquiring glance at his
mother IL that were Hle relation I've
lady bore to him. his eyes looked as
though he were asking himself what
she had seen to appeal to her sense
OF humor so early in the morning.

Differing Tea Tastes.

Russians drink tea, not with the ad-
ditlon of milk as we do, but with lemon
juice squeezed in, while in Germany
tea Is often favored with cinnamon and
rum.
Perhaps the qualntest form OF tea.
drinking is that praetlced by the saw
age tribes in Tartary, Central Asia.
The leaves are first boiled in soda, then
seasoned with butter and salt, and then
eaten.
Many people think that tea taken
late at night produces sleeplessness. It
does, but II a slice OF lemon Is added
instead OF milk, Il will induce sleep.
In cases of fever, tea taken with lemon
and a little sugar, and, Of course, no
milk is very refreshing.
A very common error is the belief
that by adding pinch Of carbonate
Of soda, stronger taste can be oh.
tanned. This is not so, carbonate Of
soda being only useful when the water
Is hard. A pinch Of salt is invaluable
for giving flavor ut all times.
