A SUGGESTION' TO PARENTS,
The belt way to prevent a general
spreading of infantile paralysis in Barre
ia for parents to keep their ehildren on
their home premise. For aome weeks
the malady did not make its appearance
in Barre despite the fact that there were
nitnr cases in adjacent towns, and it
seems certain that the outbreak of the
disease at this lata day in the epidemic
was due to laxity of pemonul move
nents either on the part of Barre people
visiting other communities or in persons
from infected sections visiting in Barre,
.At any rate infantile paralysis ha
gained a foothold in the city, and it is
up to the people of Barre to stamp it
out. No parents wish the disease to
make its way into their homes, and to
prevent that possibility they muat keep
their children at home and away from
other children for a few weeks until the
disease is wiped out. If this is not done,
there is no telling what the result will
be as the weather conditions are partic
ulaxly favorable for the spreading of
the malady. Another suggestion- is that
when a child shows signs of sickness a
physician be called without delay and
precautions be taken to isolate the child
as much as possible. The child may not
have the disease, but it is far better to
be on the safe side.

RUSSIA'S NEED OF STERN CON
TROL.
If the formal appeal delivered by the
executive councils of the all-Russian
workmen's and soldiers' and peasants'
organizations to the Russian soldiers in
the field is a fair sample of the kind of
srerument advanced why they should
fight, then there is no wonder that the
average Russian mind is only slightly
fired by enthusiasm and apurred on to
deeds of valor. The appeal, so-called, is
about the most wishy-washy kind of a
document that has come to notice with-
recent times, starting off with the
gloomy assertion that one of the Rus
sian armies in the field is wavering, con
tinuing with gloomy foreboding that the
government at home is having trouble in
dealing with internal affairs and ending
in a general cloud of uncertainty. There
is scarcely a single sentence in the whole
appeal that is calculated to encourags
the Russian soldiers to right for their
country save the admonition to save
your fatherland," which, one can read
ily see, is not likely to fire the Russian
peasants to patriotic deeds. The writer
of the document would perhaps have
fair success as an essayist along hum
drum lines, but he never would do as an
inspirer of national feeling and national
valor.
Much in eontrast to the workmen's,
soldiers' and peasants' appeal is the
"blood and iron" charge made by Pre
mier Kerensky on the occasion of his
assumption of well-nigh dictatorial pow
era conferred on him by that same coun
cil of workmen's, soldiers' and peasants'
deputies. Premier Kerensky' declara
tion is of the right stuff, an appeal to
the sentiment of the soldiers and at the
same time tinctured with a threat that
if they dJ not perform their duty they
personally will suffer the consequences
of their disloyalty. What the average
Russian, freed suddenly from the thral
dom of autocracy, needs is a firm,
guiding hand until be finds himself, so
to speak. He is now wandering about
in the haze of governmental uncertain
ty following the removal of the rule of
a czar. I here must be some strong di
recting power to steer his course clearly
toward democracy and all that democ
racy means. Kerensky, let it be added,
seems to be the man suited, above all
those yet risen to the surface in Russia,
capable of being that director.
President Wilson is to be commended
for his backbone in eliminating the dis
putants in the shipbuilding row, after
giving them both plenty of time to set
tle their differences.

One might hope that the Russian re
tireruent in Galicia is merely a ruse to
lead the Teutons on, but the evacua
tion of important positions in that re
tirement rather silences the hope.
It is a misfortune that Miss Helen
Keller cannot see the beauties of Ver
mont during her vacation at Lake St.
Catherine in Poultney, but she no doubt
feels the wonderful attractiveness of the
region.
William J. Bryan, it appears, is rail
ing and loudly for a peace which will
eliminate the Germanic peril to world
contentment. His attitude is a welcome
relief to the position which he took
while serving as secretary of state.
The nation's percentage of enlistment
prior to the draft credit was 40.4. . Ver
mont's percentage was 67.4. We are still
waiting to learn that some of the met
ropolitan newspapers have made honor
able amends to Vermont for their dis
paragement of the state's patriotism.
The orders to the, National Guard of
Kew England to mobilize to-day was
not necessary in Vermont, for the Ver
mont National Guard has been mobilized
for many weeks, awaiting further call
from the national government. That
fact shows how ready Vermont is to
.give service.
Increased activity by Irerman war
aviators may be taken to indicate an
attempt to find out just how many
American soldiers are now back of the
battle line in France waiting to take
their places in the trenches. It is fairly
certain that we have the Germans guess
ing as to the size of the first American
.expeditionary force, despite their pub
lished statements in which tbey mini
mize the military significance of the en
trance of the United States into actual
war.
The resignation of both Goethals and
IVnman was the only logical step in the
unwinding of the tangle into which the
I'nited States shipbuilding program had
become thrown through the disagree
ment between those directing heads;
and the consummation of those resigna
tions, followed by the appointment of
well known Americans to their positions,
should mean the hastening of the work
ft carrying out the program. If one of
the disagreeing parties was to go, it was
quite necessary that the other should go
also, since, were one to remain, be would
undoubtedly try to force his view on
the man to replace the former antago
nist. With two new men ia the moat im
portant positions on the shipping board
and the Emergency Fleet corporation
the program can start tf without bias

Some "Girl from Broadway" Actors
Speak.
To the Editor: Dear Sir Having
twice seen the request for a statement
regarding the proceeds of the "Girl from
Broadway," we, the undersigned, would
like to make this statement regarding
same. As we had no connection what
ever with the financial end of it, and no
knowledge of the receipts or bills con
nected with same, we are wholly ignor
ant of what was really done with the
money. As one person had entire charge
of staging, advertising and financing the
play, we ask the kind people to look to
that particular person to make a state
ment if his whereabouts can be a seer
tained, as we have no knowledge of
his whereabouts. Hoping that he may
come to light soon and give an account
of his stewardship, we remain,
Very respectfully yours,

The No Breakfast Plan.
The breakfast eating habit often cre
ates an abnormal stomachic condition.
If one is In perfect health and arises
with a keen appetite for breakfast
there will be no occasion for omitting
the meal. There are, however, but few
In perfect health, and the omission of
breakfast gives the stomach a chance
to adjust Itself. It baa an opportunity
to develop a keen appetite for the par
ticular character of nourishment most
needed by the body at that time. The
no breakfast plan la a splendid means
of properly adjusting one's appetite,
both as to quantity and character of
food. Physical Culture.
The king was dead, and the people
would have cried, "Long live the king I"
but they did not know which of two
claimants would secure the throne.
Prince Lndwig, the representative of
a legal dynssty, was at the capital, but
the Crown Prince Rudolph, who had
been banished by his father, was in
Paris. Rudolph was the choice of the
people, but the Austrian government
desired to place Ludwig on the throne.
Rudolph made his preparations to go
to claim his crown, and, being obliged
to pass through Austrian territory, tha
government desired to intercept him.
"Your majesty," said Rudolph's bos
om friend, Count Ernest Gerhart, who
proposed to accompany his sovereign
to his capital, "I suggest that we travel
as master and valet I to be the mas
ter, you the va let."
"An admirable plan," said Rudolph.
"We will adopt It"
That night the two started, the count
disguised as a bourgeois merchant, Ru
dolph as a Germs n valet The two
carried their parts well, the count en
acting a shopkeeper who had made
money and was consequently purse-
proud, Rudolph playing a servant who
had all the spirit beaten out of him by
a tyrannical master. Count Ernest be
ing the king's Intimate friend and faith
ful adherent, took pleasure In giving
him plenty to do and abusing blm
soundly at the slightest remissness.
Passing down the Danube by boat the
two attracted the. attention of the old
Baroness von Vallensteln and her beau
tiful daughter Bertha.
"Hans," cried Count Ernest, "bring
me some hock and soda water, and
don't spend the whole day gabbling
with the other eemnta. Be quick 1"
I itians movea away, ana uertna von
vaiienstein, wco naa looked up from
her book, cast an Indignant glance at
the count for the severity of his tone.
When the valet returned with the hock
and soda Count Ernest berated blm for
having been gone so long. Bertha ron
Vallensteln, Indignant at the count's
abuse, called Flans to her and aald to
him : .
"Do you wish to leave the service
of the man who treats you so harshly
If you do I will engage you at once.
My mother and I need a manservant."
"Thank you, frauleln," stammered
the astonished king incognito. "Ha
pays me such good wages that"
"I will pay you double."
The king was tn a quandary. Count
Ernest, who saw what was going on,
ordered him away on another errand
and when he was gone said to tha
young lady:
'Tardon me, frauleln. This servant
whom you think I treat so nnjnstly
must be handled with rreat severity.
He has overridden every master he
has served till he came to me. and at
the slightest evidence of kindliness ha
would turn upon me with violence."
After that Count Ernest, seeing his
mistake in attraetlngattentlon by his
feigned" severfiy, treated" his servant
less harshly. They pursued their Jour
ney, eluding the spies both of Prince
Ludwig and the Austrian government
and at last Rudolph found himself safe
over the borders of his kingdom. H
immediately threw off bis incognito
and, having been Joined by a number
of his adherent nobles, moved on to
ward the capital, everywhere greeted
with great Joy and affection.
Bertha von Vallensteln and her moth
er, having taken a direct route while
the king was obliged to take a very
circuitous one, arrived long before him.
She could not put away the image of
the valet who had borne so patiently
the harshness of bis master, and she
looked for him every day to appear and
enter her service. Her mother laughed
at her, assuring her that after what
his master had said of him she would
run a great risk in engaging him and
tried to persuade her daughter to pro
ceed with her on their Journey. Then
the news came of the arrival of Prince
Rudolph at the border, and the baron
ess and her daughter decided to remain
J and witness his entry into his capital
Meanwhile the whole klirgdom had
gone overwhelmingly for the legitimate
heir, and preparations were made for
his reception. It was a beautiful morn
ing that Rudolph entered his capital
mounted on horseback, attended by his
nobles. Count Ernest Gerhart riding be
side him, and followed by a large mil
itary escort. As he passed the hotel
where the baroness and her daughter
were stopping he looked up at the win
dows till his eyes caught those of Ber
tha, when be smiled and bowed, re
moving his bat with especial deference, j
"Mother," gasped Bertha, withdraw
ing from the window, "what dos It
mean? Am I dreaming or am I deliri
ous? The king has the features of the
valet Hans."
"Nonsense, my dear! There Is a re
semblance, and since that valet has
turned your head you magnify it."
The king was proclaimed, and to the
state ball following the proclamation
invitations came to the Von Vallen
steins. When Bertha was presented to
the king, he was observed to whisper
something in ber ear, and she passed
on with an expression of delight on a
face also covered with blushes.
What the king whispered was this:
"I am ready to enter your service, but
not as your valet."
And so it happened that King Ru
dolph XII. took a wife not of royal
blood, but as he received with her an
tnormous fortune, most of which v.s
spent on the poor of the kingdom, the
match was highly approved by his subjects.
