CURED BY HYPNOTlSM
A. M. Torrance Has Treated Patients
of Many Kinds.

The case of Henry Bowers of Mont
peler, which has been several times
referred TO in the Banner, who after
serving some 40 terms in Jail and the
House of Correction was enabled to
abstain from intoxicating liquor for
four months through hypnotic sugges-
ton, has brought to light the fact
that A. NJ, Torrance of this village has
been treating patients in this way for
several years past and has either cur
ed or materially helped over 80 per
cent of the cases he has treated.
Not only has he treated and cured
victims of alcohol but also those ours.
ed with various drug habits, kleptom-
aniacs, victims of neuresthenia, and
other nervous diseases. Mr. Torrance
made his first attempts without any
great confidence in the result but 1t
proved so beneficial to those treated,
that he has been encouraged to keep
1t up and is receiving more and more
calls. He works in conjunction with
physician where the physical con.
dition of the patient is not good, as of.
ten happens.

Gov Page and the Other Kids Can Afford Wait Until Fall Anyway
NO UNIONS FOR RANDOLPH
The Present not Considered a Fa.
vorabIe Time for Organization.

Randolph, March 24.-At an ad-
journed meeting held in Mansion
house hall last evening to consider
the advisability of forming union
for the laboring men, about thirty
five men were present
The sentiment of the leading com
mittees was that the present time was
unfavorable for measures Of this ma
ture, and 1t was feared that the urg.
ing Of the demand for nine hours
work with ten hours pay would be
met by the firms doing business. by
a refusal, and the probable closing
Of the shops, when all would be de
prived of employment.
This opinion generally expressed by
townspeople and committees filled the
would-be unionist with disappoint
ment and the meeting was brought t.
an abrupt close, without adjournment
to any particular day.

TO STOP SPECULATION ON EGGS
Bankers viii Advance Less Money to
Cold Storage Dealers.

Boston, March 2i.--Wild specula-
ton in eggs. which has been the cause
of unsatisfactory market conditions
in recent years, may not be repeated
this year. II is announced that New
York, Chicago, and Pittsburg banks
have decided to advance only ten
cents a dozen on cold storage eggs this
spring. 1t is believed that this will
have a tendency to dissuade some
spectators from putting as much mon
ey into eggs for cold storage as they
did last year or the year. before. A
large proportion of the supply will 90
into immediate consumption during
the summer, at prices below what the
market brought last summer.
In Boston yesterday the average
wholesale price on the bulk of first
Western eggs was two cents lower
than last year, the quotation being
l61acents dozen as against lSh
cents year ago.

There is just one thing the matter

in our store.
"Vinol strengthens the digestive or

sound sleep, makes rich, red blood and
builds up depleted system to health
and vigor.
"This Is because Vinol contains In
a highly concentrated form all OF the

from fresh Gods livers, with the use

LABORATORY coNDEMNDED.
$4,000 Recently Voted For Rutland
High School Held Up.

The Rutland school commissioners
have announced that they will take
immediate steps to have the high
school laboratory condemned unless
the aldermen hand over to them the
$4,000 recently voted for high school
repairs but kept back because of a
controversy over the method of pay
ment of school bills.
1t has been customary for years for
the chairman OF the finance committee
OF the school board to draw school
money from the city treasurer by a
lump sum warrant and then pay the
school bills by personal check. The
aldermen, on suggestion Of the audi
tors a few weeks ago, decided that
this was not very businesslike and
ordered that all school bills be paid by
individual check by the city treasurer.
The board OF education took counsel
Oh the matter and after holding up the
monthly payroll of the janitors two
weeks decided that the aldermen
could not dictate to it in this and so
the matter will probably go to the SUI
preme court. Meanwhile the school
board has borrowed money from the
Bethel bank. of which its attorney. w.
B. c. Stickney, Is president, to pay the
teachers.
A few nights ago when the matter Of
Issuing the school bonds was brought
up, the aldermen decided that 1t would
be no use to try to float them while
the present controversy is on. so tab
led the matter. The board of educa-
| ton wishes to make the necessary re-
pairs the coming summer, but cannot
do so unless 1t gets the money. The
laboratory is on the upper story of the
high school and is reached by mar.
row stairway which in case of fire
would be the only means of exit The
high school is already badly over
crowded and to take the laboratory
away would be a serious handicap.
