liar with her own volumes is at its
best I'M the "Unintentional Charm OF

ries Of excellently written and d.
verting papers.
The charming little book which re-
cords the correspondence Of Mr..
Hardy and his niece, Mrs. Lincoln.
then Miss Dorothy Richardson, aged
three, daughter Of the Director OF the
American Academy at Athens, is a
labor Of a love and a monument 70 a
friendship Of childhood which deve-
loped into the devotion Of maturity.
The little letters from Athens to her
distant uncle, the accompanying IL
Illustrations, beautifully reproduced,
and Mr.. Hardy's sage and affection

lightful.

At meeting Saturday of the POM
fret Library Association II was voted
by its members 10 pass over all its
possessions; building. books etc, to
the new Pomfret Free Library. The
old library was established in 1882
and has been run since then as sub
scription library. It's present home
ia the gift of the late Mrs. George l..
Bradley, in memory of her husband.
The act OF the association in turn
ing over the entire effects Of the
buildings and library TO the new Free
library marks a splendid step for
ward in the movement to provide
Pomfret townspeople with a proper
library. The Bradley Library has
hitherto been used largely by the
visitors at the various inns and the
summer colony. Now its splendid
collection of books will be at the
service of all. During recent years
Miss Harvey, Miss Virgins and Miss
Elliott have been largely responsible
for the library's progress. The whole
hearted action in giving the library to
the town is finding the highest appre-
citation on all sides.
The present building. while hardly
adequate TO the needs of the town, Is
excelIently located on Pomfret Street
opposite the north end of the Pom
fret School campus. 1t will furnish
n home for the Free Library for the
present until an adequate building
with reading rooms, etc, can be built
or formed as an addition to the good
quarters.
The Public Library Association has
arranged an attractive party at Pom
fret hall on Friday, December l4th
for the benefit Of the new library.
There will be a Christmas sale OF
fancy articles and food Also rum
mage sale. Opening at three o'clock
IN the afternoon il will continue
through the evening. There viii be
tables for bridge and other card
games in the afternoon and tea viii
be served. 1t Is hoped that all who
are interested in the library viii help
10 make the occasion a snccess.

Temperance Without Coercion

It frequently is asserted that the consumption OF
alcoholic beverages in the United States decreas
ing rapidly prior to the advent of prohibition.
People were learning the wisdom of temperance.
The addicted to the excessive of alcohol found
1t increasingly difficult to get ahead in business way,
and the cup that cheers losing its popularity
in social way.
Apparently England is undergoing somewhat SIM
liar experience, If the Daily Express of London is
correct The country rapidly is going dry, according
to this journal In 1900 the consumption of alcoholic
beverages was 32,239522 gallons. Last year it was
roughly third of this amount.
The Express estimates that where there were 2000-
600 abstainers before the war; there now are
100000.
"This great social evolution is due partly to edu-
cation partly to the motor partly to experience
and partly to the increase in healthful amusement in
the opinion of the Express.
And it might be added, the social evolution has
been accomplished without the crime and violence and
the breakdown of law that has occurred in other
countries that have attempted the same reform
through coercion.

Arrested for IdIeneSS

New Bedford police arrest thirteen
radicals. just why, is not SO easy
to understand. They are charged
with idleness, disorderly conduct
and no visible means of support.
Such charges could be made to in
clude a lot of folks.
England treats radicalism diff
ferently. They are not only per-
mitted to shout their wares from
the foot of Lord Nelson's statue,
but to peddle pamphlets which
would horrify us Americans, as Phil
Simms graphically explains.
In such q season of prosperity as
we are now enjoying, it seems harm
less enough to pick up few radicals
on the ground that they are buns.
1t would not seem so harmless in
a season of widespread depression
and unemployment, when millions
could be muzzled by threats of
arrest for "idleness, no visible means
of support" or even that elastic Of
Tense Of "disorderly conduct"
There is no doubt that the right
of free speech can be abused until
itbecomes a nuisance. 1t leaves
room for loose takers, as well as
careful thinkers. Its abridgement
is equally universal in effect. Shut
ting the soapbox orators mouth
could easily be made a precedent for
shutting that of a statesman.

What Government Ownership Means

Government ownership of such a vast enterprise as
Muscle Shoals is the Nations safeguard against ex-
tortonate exploitation by the private power interests
power being a natural monopoly and thereby sub
ect to the instincts of greed to which private initia
tive is heir.
So long the Government retains ownership of
such power site it possesses club which it use
in event of needn event that private interests get
out of bounds.
So long as it owns it can operate and by operat-
ing it can establish a standard by which the public
may compare its rates with the private operators and
through that comparison keep the private utilities
in line if and when they become greedy.
BY such ownership private initiative be both
maintained and controlled. Accordingly Hoover's
declaration for Government ownership of Muscle
Shoals is an extremely important campaign develop
ment.

Jenner had become interested in the subject of
smallpox while still a student. There was belief
current in Worcestershire that people who had con-
tracted cowpox from diseased cows never contracted
smallpox
Jenner mentioned this matter number of times
to Hunter and others of his teachers and later spoke
of it occasionally to colleagues when he embarked
upon his own practice.
1t was not until 1896, however some twenty years
after he had first become interested in the subject
that he put his theories to test
On May IA, 1876, he inocuated James PhippS q
boy of g. with matter from coWpox veSclle on the
hand of Sarah Nelmes, a dairymaid, who had con-
tracted cowpox.
On July l he inoculated the boy with smallpox
matter The boy did not contract smallpox. The
cowpox incubation had rendered him immune. I
Soon the fame of Jenner spread all over England,
and from England to all parts of the world
His work was at first hampered by the fact that
number of other methods wrong in theory and prac-
tice almost Immediately sprang into popularity and
many of these used by physicians not fully &C
quainted with his Iwork. But in spite of this fact,
great progress Immediately made in the control

In 1903 the Spanish government sent medical ex-
petition around the world to introduce Vaccination
into every Spanish possession.
The empress of Russia had the first Russian child
vaccinaed officially named Vaccinov and ordered that
he be educated at public expense.
The honors which came to Jenner were many. He
elected to membership in the most important SCI
entifc societies of the world.
Vaccination was introduced into the United States
by DR.. Benjamin Waterhouse, professor at Harvard
University.

The medical profession and scientists in general are

Lower Border Gates

The Supreme Court decides that
Canadians may enter this country
for daily employment. In the old
days when people walked, or drove
to work, that would not mean so
much. In these days when they
can go in high-powered cars and
airplanes, it may mean a lot.
Many Americans commute for a
distance of fifteen, twenty or even
thirty miles. Such a practice along
the border would permit the en-
ployment of many Canadians, which
is all right, perhaps, but which does
not square with our immigration
pc icy and its chief objective.
Furthermore, It's to be presumed
that those rules which apply on
the Canadian border, will also apply
on the Mexican border if that is so,
American labor will have little pro-
lection along the Rio Grande.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
BoiLS Need Good Care; often q Warning

peated infections of the skin, such
as pimples ana boils, are the result
of generally lowered resistance Of
the body to disease.
Such a lowering may come with
increased fatigue, with bad diet,
with constipation, with insufficient
sleep and fresh air, and with gen.
eral deficiency in all of the health
habits that are associated with good
hygiene.
Persons who have boils frequent
ly must try to keep the body in the
best physical state by establishing
good health habits and by having
general infections in the ears, nose
and throat, as we'll as the teeth, or
elsewhere in the body promptly at

The advantage of applying heat
to boil is that the heat will bring
