party asserts that Mrs. Leavitt is dis
regarding the rules of the Mother
Church and while the courts have re
stored her opponents to their rights
it is said the fight will go on and will
be followed by an appeal to Boston.

PLANS TO BOYCOTT
COMBINES THAT
INCREASE COST
Where the Expense Of Living is.
Raised Unduly
ORGANIZATION PLANNED
Women to Be Admitted as Members
as They do Most of the House
hold Buying.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Plans for
national boycott of those combina-
tions that increase the cost OF living
were laid here tonight when the Nat
ional Antitrust League was launch
ed. Members of Congress are inter
ested in the new movement and inn
mediate steps will be taken toward
perfecting state organizations. Then
when prices soar, the league mem
bers by stopping the use of such ar
ticles or commodities as have gone
above legal level will put them back
again by refusing to furnish a mar
ket.
The plan is one that was tried in
Germany a few years ago and which
according to a report broke up COM
bine in coffee that had raised the
price of the bean to almost prohib-
tive prices.
Among the speakers tonight were
several members of the House of Re
personalities.
One matter-was settled tonight how
ever The women of the United
States will be taken into membership
on equal terms with the men, and
will have equal voice in the campaign
The women, being the housekeepers
of the country, the pioneers of the
plan recognized. at once that their
assistance was vital to success.
1--WE furnish the purses said one
of the speakers but our wives and
sisters and mothers make the dis
bursements from them. We've got
10 have the women with us"
Accordingly when Congress meets
the league will work through the rep
resentatives and in some cases
through senators with view to hav-
ing them interest themselves in the
organization of state branches A
nominal fee will be charged each
member, probably not exceeding %
cents a year, to cover the cost oil
mailing proclamations against certain
articles of food that have been push
ed too high in the market. A nation
al charter probably will be sought
and the head Offices likely will be in
Washington.

CURED, bringing the total for the
month up TO 43. Estimate of the
number of the cases in the city, bas-
ed upon by canvasses of practicing
physicians range from $500 to $500.
Accommodations in the hospitals
which handle contagious diseases
were exhausted long ago, and a move
ment is on foot to have the city open
temporary hospitals if nurses can be
secured.
Blame for the epidemic is placed
upon the city water supply. The in
takes for the city service and a pri-
vate water company are located in
the st. Lawrence river. Outbreaks
of the disease are yearly occurrences.

UNBRoKEN FOR 80 YEARS
First Plate Glass in Town Only Now
Replaced

One of the plate glass lights in the
door at the l. E. Gibson store was
broken this week by hurrying milk
man and will have to be replaced.
The plate glass front in this store
was the first put in the village OF
Bennington and together with the
windows in the postoffice block con-
stitute the only imported French
plate glass in the village.

property $3.50 including the doors.
They could be replaced today with
American plate glass for less than
5000 and a few years ago when plate
glass was somewhat lower in price
than at present a representative of
one of the large glass houses offered
to put them in with American plate
for 500.
