LOCAL SCHOOL TAX
MEETING TOMORROW

The annual meeting of the Pendle-
ton school district will be held to-
morrow afternoon at the court house
at 3 o'clock. This is the regular an
nual meeting of all those eligible to
vote at school elections and is for
the purpose of levying the annual
special tax necessary for the main
tenance of the schools throughout the
year.
1t is understood that the members
of the school board have not yet fully
determined upon what amount they
will ask the residents of the district
to vote and this will probably be de-
cided as a result of the discussions at
the meeting. The board is very
anxious to have as many of the voters
present as possible in order that the
sentiments of the people may be as
certained.

company, already have teams organ
lied and the first of the series of
games to determine the city cham
pionship Will be played in the high
school gymnasium next Friday night.
Others will follow at the rate of at
least one a week
The first game will be between the
teams of the high school and COM
pany L. The game will be called at
s O'Clock
The high school lineup will be
practically the same as last year and
the boys on the hill therefore feel
confident of their ability to win the
championship. Kimball will be out
of the game for the present and pos
sibly for the remainder of the year.
The lineup will be RAIDER and Stur-
divant. forwards: McDin, center; De-
vine and C. Jordan, guards All of
these are players of experience and
ability.
The soldier boys also have some
players of experience and with some
practice they will no doubt be able
to give a good account of themselves.
Bean will play center; Weber and
Boyd. guards; DIR. Farnsworth and
Shaw will be forwards.
The academy team is very much
of an unknown quantity so far, but
the Commercial association represen-
tatives are said to be much stronger
than last year, when they gave the
high school such hard run for its
money. The four teams will therefore
no doubt be able to furnish some first
class exhibitions.

ENGLAND'S LORDS SEALED
THEIR OWN DOOM

London Dec. 1.-The feeling prev
alent here today is that the house of
lords by its rejection of the budget,
sealed its own doom. Parliament
went into session early today for Us
dissolution.
Premier Asquith conferred with
the king today. The king will. it Is
expected call his privy council to-
gether and draw up an order pro-
roguing parliament, which probably
will be sent to the house of commons
tomorrow or Friday. The situation Is
chaotic and until new parliament
assemblies, the authorities will attempt
to collect taxes under the old law. At
tentlon is now being directed to me
election in which the people VIII pass
upon the action of the lords.in re-
fus!ng the budget.

WHEN, HOW I HATE HEAT,
Saw Mr.. nnd Mrs. Fat.

Is it any wonder that the fat people
hate hot weather? If your heart and
lungs We're bound around with layer
after layer of false flesh that gave
out terrible unnatural heat and
that interfered with their natural
functions you would understand the
aversion of fat people to hot wealth
er, There is absolutely no reason for
fat people staying fat in this age of
triumph. We do not advise drugging
yourself, dieting, or exercising your
self to death, but there is a method
thta has been proven successful. 1t
is the famous Marmola tablets which
do the work of removing fat exactly
like nature intends it should be done.
They stop the digestive organs from
producing fat, They seek out the
fat as it lies around the bodyand re-
moves it at the rate of from 12 to 10
ounces a day. These little tablets
are made from the great Marmola
prescription and compressed into
hard tablets by tremendous power.
You may carry one in your pocket
and always eat a meal in peace OF
mind, for. you know that the tablet
will get the best results from such
a meal These tablets contain moth
ing but Marmola, Cascara Aromatic
and Peppermint Water, but they do
their work so pleasantly, harmlessly,
and so fast that you will be surprised
They are sold by every druggist, price
rs cents per case, or If you prefer
you may write the Marmola company,

rAE SIGNS ARE RleHT.

II business is picking UP slowly 1t
Is everywhere admitted to be making
for better and better returns; and re-
gardless of the high price Of stock
great contracts are everywhere being
made.
The building season Is opening and
81 Is said that more contracts have
been given out in New England thus
far this year than on any previous
year in the history Of this section.
There is nothing ephemeral about
these contracts. They mean large
sales Of building materials, increased
truckage, an industrial quickening Of
all the trades and larger sums of mon
ey in general circulation. The only
peril lies in Industrial selfshness and
any attempt TO make the situation
fulcrum for excessive demands which
would lead to industrial discussions
and hold up Of operations. The An
sonia Sentinel is correct when It says;
III there should be any general tend
ency to create dissatisfaction and dis
turbance, the amounts now represent
ed In contracts, on paper, may be
greatly reduced. After a rather hard
year in the building trades, this would
not seem to be an opportune time for
anything but peace, hard work and
prompt pay. New England should
now do its best to make UP for a
slack time and to fortify against
posstble future dullness."

A PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

Since the teaching Of the young man
how to earn a living with his hands
how to provide for wife and children
It is a wonder that It has never here
tcfore been thought necessary to have
a training in shopping for the girls
who are to become wives and handle
the household funds.
Now it is proposed that a special
course Of instruction be started in the
New York schools to teach the girls
how to buy goods. AS a commendable
practical movement this appeals to
the public sense.
The Hartford Post, endorsing the
proposal, says
TT is concededly far more import
ant for future wives and mothers to
understand what diet is most nutri-
tious. and how to know good meats
and fish and the best fruits and vege-
tables, than that they shall be clever
freehand artists or experts at tonic
sofia.
There Is all the difference between
merely buying, and buying the best
for the money. And perhaps the
knowledge that the girl of his heart
understood the expenditure of hard
earned dollars to the best advantage
might prove just the right incentive
to young man Of limited income"
Some women are obliged to make a
dollar go a good ways who could do
even better had they been taught be-
fore marriage how to do it,

WAAr pEAcE MEANS.

VeneEuela and the Latin countries
should sit up and take notice Of what
enforced peace means to people. The
cultivation of discussions out Of which
grow revolutions is improbable bust
ness. The intervention Of the United
States In the case OF San Domingo
has proved to be a blessing to that
people. The total imports reported by
the customs service in the four years
since the American intervention are
S1e,s76,esS, compared with ss,032,926
in four years a decade previous. The
exports Of the last four years have
been sso,557,076, compared with S14,-
ass, eo4 ten years ago. The mainte-
nance Of peace IN the island has helped
commerce and industry, but a con-
siderable part Of the increase Of $24,-
s7T,1s1, or over 100 per cent, Of re-
ported commerce represents trade
which prior to the American guardian
ship paid duty, II at all, to private
pockets, rather than the government
treasury.
With the grafters set back and the
affairs OF the country being directed
in the interests Of the people there Is
Dure to be satisfactory results. This
ease OF San Domingo shows this.

Weeks Boyhood.

That Frank 3. Weeks, governor of
the state, grow 10 manhood with ab1Et
the same experiences as other boys is
shown by story that is told of his
early youth
Immediately after coming to Middle
town with his parents from Brooklyn,
n. Y he entered the Middletcwn F.i.h
school,. He was then about Is years
old. and, like every other healthy nor
NAL boy, had a fondness for out of door
life. With Charles Buell. and Frank
Pratt he went out one Saturday on a
hunting expedition. The only weapon
they carried was what was known in
these days as a horse pistol They lad
not proceeded far into the woods before
a halt was called and the party sat
down in convenient places While
Charlie Buell. was examining the
horse pistol there was a roar and a
crash. The weapon Of uncertain quail
ties had accidentally been discharged
and a rain of lead shot Of various SIZES
passed, for the most part, over the
head of the then youthful Weeks and
tore through the dnderbrush. Four of
the leaden pellets struck him in the
forehead, pierced the skin and lodged
against the hone. Fortunately none Of
the shot struck his eyes. For a long
time afterward he entertained some of
Eis schoolmates by "gigeling" sho shot
under the skin.
The last traces of. this boyish expert
ence have long since been removed

The SMOKE Nuisance

The citizens who own property ad-
Jacent to railroads the locomotives Of
which burn soft coal, are aware that
1t is and has been for a long time a
JOSS to them in dollars and cents, TO
say nothing Of the daily pollution Of
the atmosphere In nearby neighbor-
hoods.
The fact. It is said, is now borne
upon manufacturers and other heavy
purchasers of fuel more and more that
smoke is waste. The dense and dirty
clouds that pour from the factory
chimneys. the skyscrapers, the rail-
road engines and the apartment build
ings represent losses, dollars and cents
sacrificed, gone forever.
This is good news, as is the aver
ment that it has been proved by ex-
periments that there IS no kind Of coal
which cannot be burned smokelessly.
Each may require its own adjustment
Of furnace and need familiarity on the
part of hremen, but as a given section
Of the country uses virtually the same
kind of coal the problem is less diff
cult than it seems. The multiplied
hon Of stocking systems, improvements
In nue arrangements, the adoption of
central heating plants, and the loca-
hon Of gas producers at the mouths
" mines, these show that advance
nent has been made in the combat
with smoke.
1t viii be a happy day for all com
munities when soft coal smoke is pre-
vented from besmirching everything
within half-mile of the track on
both sides as the wind may vary.

eoVERNoR WEEKs.

1t IS possible that the drafters of the
constitution of Connecticut did not in
tend that any one not elected to that
Office should become governor of. the
state. So they provided that not the
office but the duties thereof should de-
volve upon the lieutenant governor in
the event Of the governors death, alb
sence or disability. But it was proba-
bly, an oversight. The constitution of
the United States provides that the
vice president becomes president auto
matically upon the instant of the pres
ident's death. Such a provision leaves
q simple condition Of things. Lieuten-
ant Governor Weeks does not become
governor, but IS empowered to act as
such In all cases. The difference makes
considera BILE confusion The situation
viii be easily understood and adjust
ment to the new conditions will be
quickly made. It may be deemed best
tc amend the constitution in this par
ticular. 1t may be that the courts
would interpret the instrument as con-
veyingA the "office" with the duties"
At any rate the lieutenant governor
has always been addressed as govern
or in this state and for all practical
purposes is governor and will be
known as governor in the thoughts
and speech Of the citizens Of the state.

CARE OF FALSE HAIR.

False hair will last longer and look
better if properly cared for, and as
the best duality is not inexpensive and
should be selected, 1t behooves woTa-
an, now that quantities of it are worn,
to know how to make it last.
To begin with, then. q cheap quail
ty is the most expensive, for after
little wear it becomes either scrubby
or so harsh that it cannot be USED.
Cheap pieces lose color and either
streak or fade quickly.
One of the most important and difi-
cult details of caring for chignons is
to keep them free from dust. Like
hair growing on the head, they hold
impurities, and unless cleansed viii
grow dull looking and old. In their
care q soft brush is an essential, and
every night, when the pieces are re-
moved, they should be stroked lightly
but thoroughly with bristles in such
a way that the dust is taken out. Tits
should not be omitted even for one
night, for once the switch or puffs be-
come dust laden they are difficult to
clean.
No false hair. when not being worn,
should be exposed to the light, for
sun and air will absorb its dressing
unnecessarily. After being worn it
must never be put away until it has
been smootheo.
o WASH SWITCH or puHS is prac-
tically impossible but as cleansing is
necessary at intervals, corn meal
should be applied. The meal must be
rubbed gently but thoroughly through
the strands, and then, fastening the
top of the piece securely, a long bristle
brush must be applied vigorously to
remove the grains. Before this, how
ever, the long hair must be rubbed
between the hands so the meal will
absorb the dust.
Once in long while, perhaps every
two months, little oil rubbed on the
false piece will keep it in condition
and aid in preserving the dressing. For
this glycerin is excellent, and the man
ner of applying should be carefully
followed. Too much Of the grease will
almost ruin. while too little VII not be
effective. When using the glycerin
the tip of the piece must be securely
fastened where the long hair viii hang
free. Then a few drops, scented, may
be rubbed between the palms Of the
hands, to distribute it evenly, and
then put directly upon the hair the
only difficulty being that the grease
will adhere to only one part of the
switch This is most apt to be avoid
ed by pressing the palms lightly when
first they are put on, making he stroke
heavier as the grease is absorbed. L'r-
der no circumstances must there be
an appearance Of grease.
