Profits to be Divided.

For several months past plans have
been considered by the Readsboro Chair
company, for establishing profit-shar-
ing basis for it's employees and at present
they are rapidly nearing completion.
President Newton stated last week
that it was the object, of the company to
reorganize and recapitalze the company
and issue some of the preferred stock to
it's employees on the instalment plan.
The chair company has enjoyed an unus-
ually large business for the past few
years and as every indication points to
the fact that in the future the business
of the company will be larger than ever
before, it was deemed advisable by the
management to adopt the new plan.
Profit sharing has been adopted by
some of the latest manufacturers through
out the country and in every instance it
has proved successful beyond the most
sanguine expectations. Stock will be
issued on the merit system and accord.
ing to length of service and the fact that
no stock will be sold to any person not
directly connected with the company is
sufficient proof that the officers have the
welfare of the employees at heart and in
so doing reward, in measure, those
who make the success of large concern
possible.

Mrs. J. Walter May Seeks Divorce.

Mrs. j. Walter May of Newton, Mass,
has filed an attachment of $50, 900 against
her husband in an action for divorce.
Mrs. May is the daughter of ex-Gov. and
Mrs. U. A. Woodbury. of Burlington.
Mrs. May, who was then Minnie Wood
bury, about eight years ago met Mr.
May while on a visit to Boston, and after
a brief courtship they were married.
They have lived in Newton for several
years and always moved in the best
social circles. Two children have been
born to them and Mrs. May asks for the
custody of both children. The grounds
for divorce are plainly stated to be mari
tai Irregularities of Mr.. May, particular
ly in Portland, Me-, and in addition cruel
and abusive treatment is charged.
Mrs. May is about 80 years old, is good
looking, and has captivating manners.
Mr.. May is about 80 years old and is a
travelling salesman, visiting wide ter
ritory and necessarily passing much of
his time away from home. He is some
thing of a sportsman, and it is said that
last fall his exhibits at the New York
horse show attracted attention. He
owns considerable property.
Both parties have engaged counsel and
the case will regularly come up at the
coming May term of court. 1t is posi-

Another Epidemic Of the Grip Is
Anticipated.
many Cases Reported Already In this
Part OF tho country-A Common.
Sense Remedy for the Disease
and Its Effects,

owing TO the climatic conditions TINS
year many physicians fear another cpl
demic OF the grip that form of influenza
which so many have cause toeremember.
In some cases this disease has run its
course with but little more severity than
hard cold in Others it has caused acute
sickness. In nearly every case it has left
train OF after-effects more troublesome
than the disease itself 1t is characteristic
OF the grip that ordinary medicines will
not cure it permanently. The patient
seems to have recovered and then suffers
relapse more severe than the first attack
The trouble in such cases is that the dis
ease was not thoroughly eradicated from
the system by the treatment employed.
Miss G. A. Peck of No. 633 East Four.

very severe attack of grip in 1889, ana 1t

Pink Pills for Pale People ana the first box
made me feel better. Four boxes restored
me to my natural good health"
The after-etfects Of the grip are often
worse than the disease and many times
they battle all efforts of the best physicians
to drive them out of the system. Health is
shattered-the blood becomes poor, the
flesh falls away, the sufferer grows nerv-
our and irritable, and even slight eXertion
causes shortnt IS of breath These are dan
gerous symptoms and indicate that the
system is in state that invite pneumonia

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when 1t was simple indiges-
hon. It is scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada, o., says: had stomach
trouble and was in bad state as had heart trouble

Brattleboro's Oldest Hotel.

The sale of the American House prop
erty at Brattleboro, which WISCONSIN
mated the first of last week, means, in
all probability, the passing Of the Oldest
hostelry in southern Vermont and the
disappearance of one of the few familiar
sights by which Main street is recognized
by those who return to Brsttleboro after
an absence Of more than half century.
The old white building has stood on its
present site for more than century, and
for over 80 years has been used for hotel
purposes. Before 1911 it was occupied
as a store by John Holbrook, and was
also used for hat factory, for short
time. Joseph Goodhue is said to have
been the first proprietor, owning the
property in company with one of the
famous Hunt family of Vernon. Uriel
Skies of Northampton, Mass, began
running the hotel in 1920, and continued
as landlord for about Is years. During

been paid, but there is talk already of
strike which in magnitude and import
ance will eclipse anything which has
taken place in that vicinity for many
years, namely, strike OF all the union

The officials of the various unions of
marble workers are exceedingly close
mouthed about the matter and the Of
ficials of the company viii not, of course,
talk on the subject, if indeed they know
anything about it, YET it is known that
something of the kind is brewing and is
likely to break out at any moment. The
marble workers who struck unSuccess-
fully at Center Rutland few months
ago have never been satisfied with the
outcome of that movement, and are, 1T is
said, more than willing to strike again
under the right conditions

merchants and others believe it is sure
to do sooner or later, 1t will undoubted.
ly be a long one, as the Vermont Marble
company is said to be prepared to with
stand long seige and have enough stock
on hand to carry long time without
serious inconvenience.
The strikes at the factories of the f.
R. Patch Manufacturing company and at
the Lincoln Iron Works which have now
been on ever since last May, are as far
| from a settlement as ever. Every day or
two some act of violence on the part of
the strike breakers or the strikers is re-
ported, and it seems to be impossible for
the police to stop these outbreaks. The
houses in which the non-union workmen
reside are still surrounded by high board
fences and guarded by deputy sheriffs
The two companies, however, seem to be
filling all of their orders about as prompt
ly as before the strike began, but the
union men claim that the work is of a
very inferior grade and that much of it
is sent back.
The Howe Scale company as the re-
suit of the labor situation and the diff
culties which they have had with Their
own help, are, it is understood, gradual
ly having more and more of their work
done at Chicago by the John A. Mead
Manufacturing company, which is con.
trolled by DR.. John A. Mead, president
of the local concern. How far this will
go is not certain, but it is assured that
the Howe Scale works will not increase
in size any in the near future.

that time the place was known as the
Skies House. The front gable and
yeranda is said to have been built by
Francis Goodhue between 1888 and 1897.
After Mr.. Skies left, the name was
changed to the American House and
since then has remained unchanged.
For many years the hotel was the prop
erty OF Joseph and Wells Goodhue. In
1860, however, they sold it to Charles +.
Simonds; in 1862 it was convened to
Stearns & Ray, and in 1866 George A.
Boyden and the late John L, Raw. Brat
tieboro's veteran liveryman, became it's
owners. In recent years it has had sew
eral proprietors for short terms. but
among the men who were landlords for
a long time were Joseph Go, dhue, Uriel
Skies, Ralph Herriek, Edward Woodman,
George Bugbee, Charles G. Lawrence,
Henry z. Day, Rufus Rawson, Charles F.
SlmGnds, Henry Starkey, j. S. Gates, c..
Stearns, G. A. Boyden and f. f. Reed.
The only earlier hotels in the section
were the one where the Retreat farm
house now stands, short distance north
OF the village; the Hayes hotel at West
Brattleboro, now occupied by Mrs. w.
u. Blgelow as summer residence, and
the old Battleboro House, which was
ouilt on the site of the present Crosby
block in 1875, and was DESTROYED by fire
in 1869. In its early days this hotel was
known as the stage house, and was one
OF the most famous taverns in this part
of the county. The American House has
sheltered many prominent guests during
the years which it has been kept open ia
the public, but probably the most
famous is Daniel Webster, who took din

More About Heaton Hospital.

In their annual report the directors of
Heaton hospital state that the institu-
ton zig not self-supporting, even with
the $4,000 appropriation made by the city
yearly and the income received by be-
quests" 1.-The deficiency, they say furth-
er, ''amountS on an average to about
$500 year." To provide for this de-
ficiency is, indeed, "a most serions ques-
tion." The directors say that they "fope
and expect that, sometime in the future,
requests will be made that will provide
suffi cient income for the maintenance of
the hospital-but this does not provide
for the present emergency" They there
fore feel that the city should make an
additional appropriation of $1,000 per
year, or total of $4,000 per year, until
the hospital, through patronage and in
come from requests, is Self-supporting.
The directors do dot state that they
have made any effort to raise an endow-
ment fund, or have in view any purpose,
or are considering any plans, for laising
such fund. They are reposing in the
''hope and expectation that, sometime in
the future, requests will be made that
will provide sufficient income for the
maintenance of the hospital" 1t seems
to be a case of faith without works, and
meantime the taxpayers of the city are
asked to put up $4,000 year until that
indefinite time in the future shall arrive
when the hospital shall be self-suport-
ing.
The yearly deficit, after the city has
paid its hitherto annual appropriation of
$4,000, is stated at $500. This is the in
come at six per cent on 1925, 900. The di-
rectors report that they want $4,000 year
ly to cover the gap between income and
outgo, this sum being inclusive of the
$4,000 the city has been appropriating.
An endowment of $50, 900, at six per cent,
with the other sources of revenue, if the
directors are right, would support the
hospital.
Now, instead of banking on an uncer-
tainty and indefiniteness of bcquests-
which may never come, and probably
will never materialize in this day and
generation, under existing circumstances
it would seem to be the more rational
and businesslike procedure for the di-
rectors to set themselves earnestly about
raising money for the adequate endow-
ment of the hospital. For this purpose
$4,000 ought easily to be raised in this
city.
1t is not right that the taxpayers OF
Montpelier should go on indefnitely-or
be asked so to do-supplying the deficit
in the income for the maintenance of
Heaton hospital. 1t is up to the directors
and their fellow citizens of abundant
wealth in Montpelier to supplement Mr..
Heaton's charity by providing an ade.
quate endowment, and thus relieve the
institution from the reproach of beggary,
and the necessity for knocking every
year for aims at the door of this NUM-
cipality, or for constantly taxing private
and individual benevolence for a scanty
support. All this is demoralizing anc
highly prejudicial to the purpose and
best welfare of the hospital-MontpelieI
