SEC'Y WILSON WILL LEAVE.
HEAD OF LOCAL Y. M. C. A. GOES
TO KALAMAZOO.
He Has Been Valuable and Faithful
Man in His Duties Here, and His
Friends Are Glad at His Promotion
But Sorry to Have Him Leave.


George C. Wilson, general secretary
of the Brattleboro Y. M. G.. A. has
rendered his resignation to the board
of directors, and has accepted SIM
liar position in Kalamazoo, Mich, at
salary considerably increased and
more commensurate with his ability.
1t is a pity that such good man, SO
full of the true and earnest spirit in
his work, should be lured from this
place. where his services while not
unappreciated, have not been fully re-
warded.
Secretary Wilson is of the right
stuff, one of the sort of men who un-
derstand young men, man who can
coax by gentleness and tact where
others fail in persuasion. Although
he has served here but four years or SO
his record is quite out of the ordinary.
When he came here from Keene, and
previous trial of his manhood at
Concord he found a debt of $2500.
This he has wiped out In his brief
term of service, and meanwhile he has
done a thousand helpful things. He
found a membership of $50, and has
made it $50. He has made himself
very useful in the community inter-
ests and has never failed at critical
points. 1t is too bad that he is to
leave us, for he is citizen of value.
Mr.. Wilson will go on a fortnight's
vacation. leaving Monday, joining his
wife and young son. Then the fam
lily will return to thir home on Oak
street and two weeks later they will
take their departure for Michigan,
where Mr.. Wilson will assume his
new duties Sept. Is.
Good luckt

Feminine Adornment.

A meeting was held in the chapel
of the Central church. last Monday
evening. to consider and discuss the
subject of the protection of animals
from cruelty. Mrs. Jennie B. Pow
ers, whose noble and devoted work
as agent of the local society is
known of all. read a paper in which
she presented an array of facts
enough to move every humane heart.
She was especially vigorous in de-
nouncing the wholesale slaughter of
birds for the purpose of furnishing
adornments for women's hats. Her
lecture, however, comprised the
whole subject. and the deacon who
worked his horses with CALLED
shoulders did not escape her atten-
ton. The lecture was listened to
with earnest attention and left a
deep impression on the mind of ev-
cry hearer.
Mrs Powers paper was followed
by remarks, readings and recitations
by Mrs. Sawyer, Mrs. Dewitt, Miss
Stewart and others The recitation
by little Miss Clark was specially well
done
Before the formal proceedings be-
gan photographs were passed from
hand to hand around the assemblage,
which bore unmistakable evidence of
he need of humane work They Were

Ball Located by x-Ray.

n. A. Blouen of Hinsdale who was
accidentally shot with a revolver at
a camp in Pisgan on the night Of
Aug. l, was taken to Keene Friday
to have the X-ray used to locate the
bullet. Blouen was in sitting posi-
ton when shot. The ball from 3S-
calibre revolver struck him on the
inside of his left knee and took an up
ward course. A physician probed for
the ball, but was unable to locate it.
He had complained of a great deal of
pain since the shooting and had other
symptoms indicating that the bullet
was causing trouble, although it was
thought it would become incased in
the flesh and do no other particular
harm. The X-ray showed that the
bullet was in the inner aspect of the
thigh, about 10 inches above the
wound of entrance.

The Central Vermont road has done

Northfield. for a poverty stricken road,

which bump along over the uneven

the Greenfield Gazette. 1t has used

it has at least gotten a very attractive

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
in Every Branch of Human
Achievements

The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters and history records that they
always have been.
Vegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this in any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans,
English. French, Russians and Germa rs
are meat eating nations, and they are
also the most energetic and most pro-
gressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier known as Biltong. is a sort of
dried beef, affording a great deal of
nourishment in a highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos. and Siamese,
regarded since the dawn of history as
non-progressive. superstitious and in

meat eating nations who dominate them.

and grains. and it is unhygienic TO con-

to the exclusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested of foods. bu. our
manner of living is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to pro-

ever. and on the morning of the 23rd,

for grand master and a strong fight is
expected.
The decoration committee have finished
their work and the city will appear in A.
o. L. w. attire to welcome the visitors.
Twenty-Five hundred visitors in the city
for three days means much for Wichita.

amount of money will be brought and
spent here. The big concerns of the city
realize this fact and are doing all in their
power to make the meeting a success.
One day will be set aside for visiting the
place of interment in the city. The visi-
tors will be shown through the stock
yards, packing houses and other large
concerns here, by special invitation from
the persons in charge. All Wichita is in
terested in the big meeting.
