A Vermont Death Trap.
BARRE Times.

The highway northwest from Cole
brook, n. H., through the Vermont
Canada continues to be the death trap
for motorists, two more persons having
lost their lives last Sunday night on a
dangerous curve in the town of Leming-
ton-a curve, by the way, where many
automobiles have shot off the road and
down a high and steep bank. The driver
in full possession of his mental facul-
ties has to exercise considerable skill to
get around this curve without accident
if his speed is anything more than a dog
trot. This curve furnishes a problem
i'll highway engineering which ought to
be solved in some way before the base
of this steep bank becomes a Yeritable

4 J. J. O'Neill a director of the Man

country recently full of faith in Amer
lea. First he said that it didn't matter
what Rudyard Kipling said about Amer
lea and no one should make fuss about
it because ''Kipling stands for moth

had not written the occasional he
would have been forgotten long ago
His militaristic barrack room jingles

litical nonentity and his prominence
given to his utterances on things he does
not understand, puzzles me-" The re-
porter told Mr.. O'Neill that Kipling had
denied the anti-Americanism credited
to him. whereupOn Mr.. O'Neill said, IF
the old man said that you may rely on
his word that it is so because he has
always had the courage of his convic-
tons no matter whether they were right
or wrong"

CoNQUERING TUBERCULOSIS.
Death Rate Reaches New Low Level in
Year 1921

NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-The death
rate from all forms of tuberculosis. in
the year 1921 reached the remarkably
low level of 90.7 per 100000 population.
This information has been obtained by
the National tuberculosis association
from the registrars of 40 states in the
union
In 1921 returns from 40 states
showed death rate of los per 100000.
The decline in 1921 is equivalent. ac-
cording to the association. to a saving
of about $4,000 lives in 1921 over 1920.
The association points out further
that since ii began its active program in
1908. the tuberculosis death rate has
been cut from slightly over 200 to a fig
IRE well below 100 per 100000 popula-
ton.

PURE MILK LAW
IN CITY MEETS
THIRD FAILURE
City Council Votes to Strike Out
Ice Cream Clause-TO Re-
draft Ordinance.
Especial to The Argus

Aledo, March 21.-An ordinance
to prohibit the sale of milk and
cream in Aledo unless it came from
tubercular tested herds and also to
prohibit the manufacture of ice
cream for use here unless the
cream came from cows that had
successfully passed the tuberculin
test, failed for the third time at
the regular session Of the city
council last night.
1t was ruled that the ice cream
clause be stricken and City Attor-
ney X. l.. Watson was instructed
to redraft the ordinance 1t SEEM
ed to be the general opinion of the
council members that the ordinance
was first drafted to protect babies
from impure milk and that the
passing of the ordinance as it stood
would work a hardship on local ice
cream dealers that was uncalled
for.
r. B. NJ. LeMaster and Clyde Sim
clair, local ice cream dealers. ap-
peared before the city council by
request and gave their viewpoints
n.
abide by the decision of the council
members regarding the side that
would work for the greatest ben
eft to the city.
AS the ordinance stood. the ice
cream dealers had one alternative
they could use pasteurized cream.
This would necessitate the install
ing of expensive machinery or
shipping in the cream from pas
teurized agencies.
At the present time there are but
three tubercular tested herds in the
county, and these could supply but
small share of the demand. 1t
is estimated that in the near flu
ture there will be enough tested
herds to supply the demand.
