Proctor Meeting at w. r. Junction.
The Hon. Fletcher ID. Proctor and
+. X. Morse of Proctor met leading
representatives of the Proctor move
ment in this section at White River
junction Friday. About a dozen
towns OF eastern, central and western
Orange county, and northern and east
ern Windsor county, were repre-
scented. The delegations varied in
size from one TO five members. The
meeting was informal, and though Mr..
Morse had arranged to see a few in
terested ones from the several towns,
the presence OF Mr.. Proctor was unex-
peeted. He was cordially greeted.
and reassuring reports made of the
situation in the localities represented.
General satisfaction was expressed
that Mr.. Proctor had taken a square
position ON the liquor question. in
favor Of prohibition, which is the prev
alent sentiment on this side of the
mountain. The clean and unmercen-
airy methods of Mr.. Proctors canvass
also commended themselves to those
present.
MIR. Proctor was asked 10 state what
truth there was in regard TO the re-
ports about his meeting Doctor Webb
at the Waldorf-Astoria and as to re-
ported trades and deals between the
two. He said that such stories were
wholly without foundation. He had
not been at the Waldorf-Astoria for
three years, had never had any con-
terences with Doctor Webb, at which
arrangements were made between
them as to their canvasses, neither
had he been in Canada to see the doc
tor since his return from the West
His statements were most positive.
The meeting was very enthusiastic,
and everything indicated that a sub
stantial majority of the delegates from
Orange and Windsor counties to the
state convention viii 90
instructed for Mr.. Proctor.

Dyspepsia

Is difficult digestion, due to a
weakened condition of the stomach
and its inability to properly churn
the food; or to unhealthy condition
of the gastric juice, too much or
too little acid, too much or too
little pepsin

the distressing symptoms of dys-
pepsia because it promotes the mus
cular action of the stomach and in

facture of her own digestive secre-

any artificial pepsin, unlocks the
bowels, stimulates the kidneys and
tones up their mucous membranes.

School trustees have no right to dictate

young woman may be a teacher in the
school over which the trustees have juris-
diction, and although the trustees are so
old that they do not know that the gregari-
Gus spirit is abroad among the right-minded
young. At least, all this is so in Tennessee,
where a court has just awarded teacher
her salary for year, although in the mid
die of it she was dismissed because she
went too much into society and entertained
too many visitors during the evenings. Be
sides denying the right of the trustees to
dictate in any event, provided the teacher
properly performed the duties of her posi-
ton. the court specifically states 1t as its
opinion (obiter dicta, of cOurse) that three

vote to social enjoyment, whether the

Pins In England.

In England the ordinary domestic
pin had become in the fifteenth cen.
fury an article of sufficient Importance
to warrant legislative notice. An act
of parliament passed in 1888 prohibit
ed the importation Of pins. AS ne
cessity of the toilet pins were intro
duced into England in the latter part
of the fifteenth century by Catherine
Howard, queen of Henry VIII, who
received them from France.
Very good pins Of brass were made
at this period, but a large portion OF
them were made of iron, which was
blanched and sold for brass pins. Ii
order to prevent this imposition upon
the good people of England parliament
in 1913 passed an act providing that
mo person shall put to sale any pins
but such as shall be double headed anG
have the heads soldered fast to the
shanks of the pins, well smoOthed, the
shanks well shapen, the points wei
rounded, filed, canted and sharpened."
England continued to depend upor
France for its supply of pins till the
year 1926, when John Tilsby intro
duced the manufacture into Glouces
tershire. In 1886 the manufacture was
introduced into Bristol and Birming
ham, the latter place ultimately be
coming the great center of the indus
try.
