him. 70
M Hitchcock was very fond of his
homeand came TO Hanover as often as
ms BUSINESS would allow. He was in

but Mr.. Hitchcock's greatest and
GROWING gift to Hanover and the com
munltes about was the hospital he erect
ed memory of his first wife and named
the Mary Hitchcock Memorial hospital.
Inc building is beautifully situated on
the northern edge of the village of Han
over, looking over wide sweep of the
county to Cube and Moosilauk. 1t is
PROBABLY too well known to readers of
the journal to need particular descrip-
ton. It's a cottage hospital with nor
MAJ capacity of thirty-six beds, but ca
paole OF accommodating at it's utmost
capacity over fifty. A central administra-
ton building containing rooms for private
patlentSiS connected ON either side by long
sun corridors with pavilions containing
the general wards and with wings hav-
ing single rooms. In the rear of one of
them Is an operating room and ampi-
theatre, which is used for the clinics of
the Medical College. The whole is heated
by steam with indirect radiation, and
ventilated in the most thorough manner
Three years were occupied in the
building of the hospital, which was then
completely furnished and made ready for
occupancy in the spring of 1898. 1t was
dedicated May Sd, the services of dedica-
ton being held in the college church and
the address given by Hon. j. w. Patter-
son, who died the next day, and the hos
pital was Immediately opened for use
OF course its beginnings were small
and 1t had to win its way, but up to Jan
uary ], 1901, the hospital had received
1888 patients. OF these $50 were students
of the college, to whom it has been an
untold blessing. And not the least of
services has been the training of nurses
who after their experience in the hospital
carry to the homes of the country about
the knowledge of how to care for the
sick.
1t was the purpose of Mr.. Hitchcock
to make the hospital a gift to the gener-
al welfare. He therefore gave it, when
it was completed, to board of trustees,

down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some prematur
weakness. It does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease; it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane S. Fen
fren, a prominent member of the w. G.
4. w., ana q resident OF SunCOOk, N. ii.
She writes:
II was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was so nervous and
sicl<ly that every one thought was in
a most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 100 pounds. l was ad-
vised to take Vinol, which / did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. As rebuilder and
q strength giver nothing can equal it.
Vinol is blessing to anybody"
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sou ght-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuiiderwe
have ever had in our store.

men chance upon fortunes. The fort
unes we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis.
The nature of that basis of fortune is
we'll set forth in the advice given by
successful merchant to a young man
who asked, "What is the first requisite
to making a fortune?" "The first re-
quisite to making a fortune" said the
rich man, "is health" "The idea that
fortunes are made suggests toll and in
dustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But weak man cannot
toll, and industry is incompatible with
ill-health. If you want to be strong
remember that all physical strength
comes from food and that the amount of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to d.
gest food and assimilate its nutrition.

SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much of
physician but he was good deal of
philosopher He had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, break
down because of "stomach trouble"
He had theorized the saying that the
vweakest must go to the wal" into the
saying that "the man with the weakest
stomach must go to the WALL" because
no man is stronger than his stomach.
The man who will learn this lesson of
success has taken great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite of
success and health in general means
sound stomach and a good digestion.
Look at the logic Of the matter. Food
is mans life, his strength. Physical
life is sustained by food But the fact
that a thing can be eaten doesn't make
it food. Many physician practising in
the tenements of city says of failing
men or women, vWhat they need is
noup1shing food" Shipwrecked men
eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees,
anything to satisfy hunger. But this is
not food in any true sense because it
contains no nutrition. All food must
be considered in relation to its nutritive

other, that looked more to the
public good than to personal
interest, and his leadership was both
natural and willingly followed. He had
the gifts of organization and of direc-
ton, and so frank and sympathetic was
his nature that he commanded without
giving offence. He had not only native
grace and graciousness of manner but
native gentleness of heart, exhibited in
unfailng tact of deed and word. Under
all circumstances and to all men he
showed the qualities of a gentleman be-
cause they were the qualities of his
mind. He was interested in all good
things for himself and he desired them
for others. His impulse was to do and
give for those less favored than himself
No one ever came to him with an appeal
for help who did not get a sympathetic
hearing and, if deserving, all the aid that
it was possible for him to give. There
are many today who could testify to his
bounty, and in the words of an old

Mr.. Hitchcock was born at Claremont,
N. H., August 81, 1882, but removed
with his family in 1912 to Drewsville,

interest to the end of his life. When he
was Is years old he entered Black River
academy at Ludlow, Vt, then in charge
of Austin Adams, afterward chief JUS
tice of Iowa, to fit for Dartmouth col
lege. He did not however, go to col

envy he entered its service as an instruct

was 20, when trouble with his eyes COM

under the advice of an oculist he went
south, and in 1858 entered the office of
the ST. Charles Hotel in New Orleans.
He thoroughly learned the business of
hotel management, spending his sum-
mers at the Nahant House near Boston,
and in 1859 he formed a partnership
with A. B. Darling and Paran Stevens
and opened the Fifth Avenue hotel at
Fifth Avenue, and Esd street. 1t was
then so far up town that many thought
the undertaking hazardous, but he lived
to see the tide of city life sweep far
beyond him and leave his hotel almost
in the heart of the mercantile district.
The hotel has always been the favorite
headquarters of the politicians of both
parties, as formerly it was the meeting

West Point, N Y, Jan. 19.-The con-
gressional committee will probably An
ish the investigation of the military
academy to-day. The congressman
have probed deeply into the hazing
which has been at the cadet
barracks and camp for several years
past, and have obtained mass of evil
dence additional TO that adduced at the
military court of inquiry. The fighting
traditions were gone into again, and
some additional information was
CLEANED in that respect.
Cadet A. j. Lynch, of New York, was
thoroughly examined by the commit
teemen, as he is looked upon as the au-
thority on fighting at the academy.
When Gen. Dick began to question him
he became argumentative and shook
his finger at the chairman several times
when parrying some of the generals
mild reproofs. At times he leaned
across the table which separated him
from the chairman's table, while he
spoke in an insolent manner to the
general. He upheld the West Point
fighting code, and declared that he
would fight any man of his size and
weight, and said that any man who
would not 90 likewise was not hit to
join the army. Gen. Dick exhibited a
good deal of forbearance, but finally
gave up his questioning in unconcealed
disgust, after he had given the "tistic
expert sound piece of advice.
For the first time during the investi-
cation it was shown that there are ca
diets in the first class, who from the
time they came here as "plebes," have
been opposed to hazing and fighting.
Cadet Francis w. Clarke, of Illinois,
testified TO this, and said that these
practices should be abolished. He was
complimented by Mr.. briggs, who said
that Clarke was credit to the acad-
envy. a-
Cadet Louis C. Brinton, Jr., of Penn
