Help the Children
How a Middlebury Family Found
Happiness In 1t.

The following is taken from the
Fresh Air News New York;.
"A nice girl, 1912" was sent to
Middlebury, VT, last summer for a
vacation and was entertained by
Judge and Mrs. A. w. Dickens.
"She proven a gen." her hosts
said of her when the vacation was
over.
Her mother, widow with three
children, who tries to earn a living
for her family by sewing, was in
very poor health last summer. A
while ago she broke down-she has
tuberculosis.
The Social Service Department of
the New York Hospital (by which
the girl was recommended to The
Tribune FUND.- offered to send the
mother to sanatorium for four
months to get back her health.
But what to do with the children?
Judge Dickens answers promptly
as to his last summers guest: Send
her to us. Well take care of her
for four months with heart and
half"
The Tribune will put the girl on
the train on April 25 with ticket.
She will get a cordial reception at
the other end.
Judge Dickens did his first Fresh
Air work in 1877, when children were
at his old home in Northumberland,
Saratoga Co., N Y. For several
years he has been chairman of the
Fresh Air committee at Middlebury,
speaking for which he writes, eve
intend to help again this summer by
taking some children" A friend of
children for forty-siX wears!

TRACY FINDS A STILL

States Attorney w. E. Tracy OF
Johnson is a very busy man these
days. Not content with capturing
rum runners last week in Wolcott
in very spectacular manner, secur-
ing some thirty gallons of fine
Canadian rye whiskey, so neatly hid
in the false top of Cadillac closed
car, that only leak in the tank dis
closed the presence of the contra
band, he went to Belvidere with
c. w. Potter and searched the pre-
misses of Lonnie Perry, finding a
small quantity of fry moonshine.
There were evidences that more had
been there very recently and inquiry
disclosed many suspicious things.
While putting Perry through the
the third degree" he partially con-
fessed and told them where to find
the still, in a wild piece of woods on
Belvidere Mountain, in an old lumber
shack, the entire outfit was there and
plenty of evidence that it had been
recently used, including an empty
barrel that had contained mash, etc.
Evidently others who knew of the
place hurriedly spirited away the
moonshine while the officers were
searching Perry's house.
Perry was taken to Hyde Park for
trial and will probably get prison
sentence the first of the week.

Dairy and Poultry Products
The scarcity of fresh butter COM
bined with demand sufficient to
clean up the supply of desirable
quality each night held the market
firm until toward the close the SUD-
ply increased somewhat and a weak
ness developed at other distributing
markets, at which time dealers were
willing to make a full cent conces-
sion on their offerings, the best going
out around 361ac. Receipts of north
ern butter about moderate, with best
moving out 37-371ac, with some early
sales at 38c. The cheese market

lower costing cheese a weakness de-
veloped and some dealers were will
ing to make a half cent concession,
selling twirs at 1S1a-191bc. Some
colored single daisies moved at 1910.
Sentiment and sympathy with other
markets with a later decrease in de-
mand caused weakness and declining

AGAINST TB HOSPITALS
The Soldier and the Treatment
Recommended by Specialists

Former service men who have con-
tracted tuberculosis won't stay in
hospitals. The thing has been tried
out and proven a failure in Canada.
To operate such an institution on a
large scale, routine is necessary.
Routine frets patients and retards
the benefits they should derive from
the treatment. And several years
ago it was found that the former
soldiers would not remain under
such routine long enough to effect a
cure.
These things were made clear by
local physicians when the former
service man and his treatment here
became a problem to the public
health service several years ago.
The treatment here has built up on
Numerically different lines and no
small part of the success of the care
of the patients here is attributed
to the life in cottages, its freedom
from the restraints and irritations of
hospital life.
Hence it is not surprising that
prominent tuberculosis specialists
headed by DR.. E. R. Baldwin, should
hand in recommendation to the
Veterans Bureau that no more hos
pitfalls for the treatment of soldiers
suffering from tuberculosis are
needed. A substitute program was
offered, which, if developed, would
allow men, after six months treat
ment, to select their own mode of
life-at Saranac Lake or elsewhere.
The latter would seem to be splen-
did provision.-Saranac Lake, N. Y,
Enterprise.

Dorothy Garfield Fisher
for Congress
May Share Public Honors With Miss
Robertson of Oklahoma

Robertson of Oklahoma
Mention in the Vermont press OF
Mrs. Dorothy Garfield Fisher, OF
Arlington, VT, as possibility in
the roundup of eligibles for con-
gressional nomination in the first
district serves to focus attention on
the fact that there is an exceptionally
large number of the fair sex who
have thus announced their willing
ness to submit their shapely
shoulders to the draping of the con
| gressional mantle, says the Wash
lngton correspondent to the Daily
| Caledonian.
"Miss Alice" the lone female of
the species at present adjoining the
national House, is therefore likely to
have some company, at least, of a
feminine character, always supposing
that she herself comes through again
in the second Oklahoma district
which sent her to Washington by
the narrow margin of 228 votes in
about 10000 cast on her unique cam
paign platform of 81 am a Christian
am an American, l am a Repub-
lican"
To date the count tallies nearly
dozen women candidates engaged
in active fights for nomination to
congress. One has announced her
intention of going out after the place
now filled by Senator Swanson, of
Virginia, while another hopes to
succeed the picturesque John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi, avowedly
no longer in the running. Mrs
Izetta Brown would represent the
Old Dominion in the upper branch,
while Miss Belle Kearney seeks to be
senator for Mississippi. Out in
Minnesota, Mrs. Peter Oleson hopes
to convince the voters that she ought
to supplant Senator Frank B. Kellogg
and in the Empire State, a woman,
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, entertains the
hope that the "drys" will be able to
help her unseat Senator William M.
Calder.
On the House side the list Of busy
candidates includes; Mrs. Leila
Seton Edmundson, Alabama; Mrs.
Annette Adams. California; Mrs.
Irene C. Buell., Nebraska; Mrs. T. F.
Cotman, Arkansas; Mrs. w. A. Cur
lopp, Indiana; Mrs. Winfred NJ
Huck, Illinois and "Miss Alice" in
Oklahoma. The crop Of feminine
aspirants is likely to be materially
increased it is said.

PRESS ON ALLEN NJ. FLETCHER
The Rutland Herald saws:

The Rutland Herald says:
"The sudden and tragic death of
Allen M. Fletcher, governor of Yer
mont from 1912 to 1915, veteran
public servant, lover of Vermont
man of large affairs, keen observer
and student of public questions,
comes as a distinct shock to every
one familiar with the recent history
of Vermont.
GAS governor and legislator, Allen
NJ. Fletcher was fearless, uncompro-
missing and devoted to the welfare OF
the state as he understood it. He
made enemies among those who saw
their public duty otherwise. He haC
many friends among those who
understood his attitude toward the
peoples business.
The Free Press says:
"The death of ex-Gov. Allen NJ
Fletcher deprives Vermont of the
services of an unusual man. He was
called one of the states most wealthy
citizens, but you would never suspect
it from his actions or attitude toward
those who met him. He was one of
the most democratic of men. He
always took large degree of inter.
est in Vermont affairs. It is safe Il
say that he knew more in detail
about more state departments and
the legal aspects of practically al
departments than any other individ-
ual. He made a close study of Yer
mont problems, up to the very pres
ent and was always able to speak
with comprehensive intelligence with
heads of any department concerning
conditions existing in such depart
ments.

THE "DiFFlCuLTY"

"The difficulty is not with the min
ers, but with the coal mining industry,
which is apparently unable to find a
market for all the coal it can produce
and therefore must resort to periodi-
cal closing down of the mines while
the surplus is being consumed" says
financial report from New York in
last Sundays papers. The coal opera
tors certainly must be handed the palm
for being able to get the maximum
pay out Of the consumer. BY their
skillful manipulations they manage to
get people panicky about securing any
fuel at all and into position where
they must take what they can get and
pay whatever is asked. Just think of
the mine owners worrying about where
to find market for coal at this time!

NELSON'S ATTACK FORD

Senator Knute Nelson comes out
with an 'explanation" Of his vote in
favor Of seating Newberry. AS the
senior senator is not up for re-elec-
ton at this time the effort is evident
ly intended to ease up matters for
Senator Kellogg who did the same
thing and who must face the voters
in November. The Minnesota Sena-
tors are in tight place in this ques-
ton and it is doubtful if Senator Mel
sons explanation will help them any.
Indeed, it has served to accentuate
the Issue and give progressives the
chance to again secure the attention
OF the voters to the methods with
which Newberry won his election. The
slam that Senator Nelson aimed at
Henry Ford, denouncing him as a get
rich-quick man who is menace to
our country, will serve to ALLEVIATE
from the stand-pat ranks any near
progressive who might still have some
lingering disposition to stay with the
old crowd. Whatever one may think
Of Henry Ford and his ideas, one must
admit that in his money-making he
has been fair to labor and has dem
onstrated how modern production me.

A SLAM OR A BOOST7

The Minnesota Farm Bureau and
kindred organizations have taken up
the cudgel in behalf of Constitutional
Amendment No. l., better known as
the rural credits amendment, and will
make every effort to have it adopted
at the November election. The am
endment puts the state in the money
loaning business and lis. duplicate of
legislation enacted in North Dakota
by the Townley forces.-Capitol Let
ter in Litchfield Review.
It is not clear to us whether the alb
owe is intended for slam at the Farm
Bureau or a boost. for the Farmers
Non-Partisan League. However, we
think, it is fine compliment to the
Bureau. Sooner or later, every org
anization trying to better the condi-
tions of the farmer will run up again
st the professional politician who talks
nice to the farmers about his prob
lens, but who is in collision with and
helps those who prey upon the farmer.

sofa State election this year-the con-

group are represented by Senator Kel-

group by DR.. Shipstead and Farmer
Magnus Johnson. The old-line Demo
Gratis have practically merged with
the stand-patters, and the effort of the
remaining loyal Democrats to galvan-
Ire the organization into life as pro-
Eressive movement will fail because
the party has by it's senseless attitude

sives from it's ranks. With all due
