REMARKABLE RECORD

Young Man with New Theory Is Astonisll-

The remarkable success that has at
tended l.. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality. but is so widespread that the
young man is now a well-known figure
in most of the leading cities of the
country.
Mr.. Cooper believes that the stom.
aeh is the foundation for most i'll
health, and claims that his prepare.
ton, by regulating the stomach. is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune of
Minneapolis gives an idea OF the sur
prising number of people who are ac-
cepting Cooper's theory. The article
was one of many that appeared during
Cooper's stay in Minneapolis, and is as
follows:
THE sale of Cooper's preparation
is now phenomenal in this city. and
an estimate made today seems TO indi-
cate beyond all doubt that 1t will equal

After being seated the choir rendered
a beautiful anthem followed by
Praise God From Whom All Bless

ton. The invocation was offered by
Rev. Jas. Davies. A hymn by the
choir was followed by the reading of
the lesson chosen from portion of
the 22Ed chapter OF Luke beginning at
the 23rd verse and the 10th chapter
OF Matthew beginning at the 32nd
verse. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Davis after which Jesus, Savior

Blanche Boyd sang a beautiful Of

anthem by the choir was Immediately
followed by an eloquent sermon by
Rev p. F. Utley Of Grace NJ. E church
He called the attention Of the mem
bers OF the class to the fact that not
an ending nor any great achievement
lay in receiving the diplomas which
they will soon possess but rather in
the use to which they put the eduea-
ton for which they have so faithfully
labored and that whatever they ac-
complished with this education in the
broad future would be an utter failure

HardWiCk's Town Clerk Missing

}. q. Eastman, liveryman in Hard.
wick, sent Homer Calkins to Mont
pelier Friday morning to take back to
HardWlck the team driven there Sun
day by the village clerk, M. E. Foster,
who has disappeared from that town.
Mr.. Foster, who was a former Wood
bury man, left Hardwick at five O'Clock
Sunday afternoon for Montpelier and
said he would be back Monday or in q
day or two anyway. He put up his
team in George Smith s stable at II
O'Clock Sunday night and inquired
about the leaving time of the south
bound train. He said man would be
sent for the team the next day.
The town and village auditors of
Hardwick are examining his accounts
and up to last reports found nothing
irregular, which leads to the opinion
that he was temporarily, mentally de-
ranged, although he appeared rational
enough at Hardwick and in Montpelier.
He told his wife he would be back from
Montpelier next day.
lie left an Overcoat IN his team there
and said the man sent for the team
would take it back. Fosters disap-
pearance is further mystlfied by the
presence of $500 in his safe AS he
handled village and town taxes and
electric light accounts it is hard telling
to whom the money belongs. A viii
lage netting was held Tuesday.
Mr.. Fosters family made inquiry of
New York relatives if he went to that
city but they have not seen him.
Since the above was in type it has
been ascertained that there is shortage
of about $4,000 in Fosters accounts

his books have been kept with accuracy
and neatness He is under S., 900 bonds
furnished by the American Fidelity
Company of Montpelier. Many believe
that his disappearance was only tempo.
rary and it was intimated that pressure
OF business and impaired health might
have unbalanced his mind.
Foster had been engaged in real
estate agency, wood business and in a
mileage agency, and it is alleged that
these interests have probably suffered
to the extent of $1,000 to 81 200. He
had recently been made assignee of, the
=. 5. Fitch hardware business but it
is understood that his accounts in that
capacity are correct.
Fosters family consists of his wife
and three sons and a mother. His
business integrity had never been uues-
toned and what use if any was made
by him of the Sc, 600 which he is charged
with embeZzling remains a mystery,

Arb0r Day

Gov. Proctor has issued the following
Arbor Day Proclamation:
Throughout the country there is a
strong and rapidly growing movement
in favor of the preservation and Guilt
walton of the forest and other wooded
areas, and the encouragement of proper
regard of trees, plants and shrubbery.
| With heartlest compensation OF this
movement aud with strong belief in
its peculiar fitness to our State, hereby
name Friday, the eighth day of May,
1908, Arbor Day.
The day should not be observed as a
mere perfunctory occasion but in such
manner that our people, especially our
boys and girls, shall gain fuller knowl-
edge and higher appreciation OF the
aesthetic aud practical value of trees
and tree culture. There is an especial
demand for this knowledge and its APP
plication in Vermont, which is depend
ent in SO large measure for its prosperity
upon the proper use and preservation
of its forests. 1t is well also to make
this observance an opportunity for in
culcating a love of the natural world
and the worth of out-of-door life. BY
appropriate exercises and object lessons,
therefore, let there be taught the great
wrong to this and to future generations
of an ignorant and reckless destruction
of our forests and the great importance
of the care of trees and the uses to
which they may be put in the beautify-
ing of grounds both public and private.
Thus shall we make real contribution
to the protection and development OF
our natural resources, and worthily
promote the welfare of the State.
