The weekly" carefully eliminates from
| its printed account testimony regarding
| the years of research and study by Mr.
| Post in fitting himself for his work, and
| would lead the reader of the distorted
article to believe that his education
| began since 1905.
Distortion No. 12 reports Mr.. Post as
| "dodging witness"
His eye is not Of the shfty kind OBJ
served in the head of one of his chief
critics. On the witness stand Mr.. Post
looks quietly but very steadily straight in
to the eyes of the haggling, twisting law
yer, trying by all his art to ask double
barreled questions and bull-doze and con-
fuse a witness.
The "dodging" It seems consisted Of
replying, Il don't know"
Opposing counsel holds a book in his
hand while he queries,-
I want to know if there Is single
thing in your whole book here that sug-
gests any particular kind of food" Then
followed some discussion between attor-
neys.
When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply,

This book, it turns out, was written by
Mr.. Post seventeen years ago and prob
ably has not been read carefully by him
in the last fifteen years. 1t would require
remarkable memory to instantly say
Eyes" or mo" as to what a book of lat
pages did or did not contain, without
reading it over,-but such conservative
and we'll balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be "dodging."
The attorney sought by every art to
impress the Jury with the fact that Mr..
Posts belief in the power of Mind in
relation to the body branded him as un-
reliable and worse.
The following Is quoted from one Of
the questions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book)
'"The writer Of these pages desires to
say nothing of himself other than as a
simple instrument through which the Di-
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.
"Skill In mental practice is gained In
the same way as skill in any department.
Of science-by observation. study, expe-
rience and the ability to evolve correct
conclusions.
"Read carefully. thoughtfully no more
than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will not be
disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close
your eyes, and 90 into the silence where
mind is plastic to the breathings Of spirit
and where God talks TO the Son. The
thoughts from Divine Universal Mind
come as winged angels and endow you
with healing power. II you 90 into the
silence humble and trusting. you will come
out enriched and greatly strengthened in
body by contact even for short time
with the Father of all life and all power,
You will feel refreshed in every way and
food taken will digest readily as the
stomach works smoothly when under the
influence Of Higher Power"
"I ask you Il YOU did not write that.
and il you did not believe it when you
wrote it,"
For a moment tho Court Room was ia

The Postum Company does pay out up

per men use our products.
They are capable of telling the public

Item 10 is discovery" that wheat
bran is part of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer COW
ering of wheat (branl, made part of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into a trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that Taxa -Diastase" the article used by
physicians the world over for Starch in
digestion" is made from wheat bran"
So we use that part of the wheat berry
because it contains the element needed
to develop the valuable diastase in man
ufacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part.
These self-appointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor-
ance, but-be patient.
Item II is an illustration of the squirm-
ing and twisting of the sensational writer
delivering distorted matter to his read
ers.
While on the witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies In Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics and Psychological re-
lating to the preparation and digestion of
food. Asked to name authorities studied
he mentioned six or eight from memory.
and commented on some clinical expe,,
rience covering several years in annual
Journeys to Europe.
Now notice the distortion. Copy from
the printed criticism.)
"He POST pointed out pile of books
in possession of his attorneys as the very
ones he had read"
(Notice,-"the very ones he had read"
leading the reader TO believe that they
were the only ones)

editions?" was asked

continuing longer the educational period
OF life, we shall guarantee a larger
measure of success Tor the individual and
more efficient citizenship. Though we
cannot have it universally Just now, |
hope the day is coming when students,
instead of beginning their engineering,
or medical, or other professional and vo-
cationa studies at eighteen years Of
age, will not undertake their special
preparation for life until they have laid
broad and strong and deep the founda-
tion for the rearing of a proper super
structure. The cultural studies of col
lege life, its recreations and associa tons,
will lengthen infancy in such way
that maturity will also be extended, and
length of years and better service will
be the inevitable consequence. The pro-
longaton of infancy is prerequisite to
the better civilization we would usher
in. Educational infanticide is a wicked
crime"
Approval of Athletics.
President Benton's approval of college
athletics was expressed when he said:
owe may rejoice that the colleges of
the country are encouraging manly
sports. Occasionally there are found

able to enter into an appreciation Of the
spirit which animates young manhood
and young womanhood | confess that
it has always been a mystery to me,
and the mystery deepens with every
added day, why it is that certain sancti-
monious individuals pucker up their sour
faces and if possible, look even more
acetose than common, whenever their
ears are greeted with a college yell.
"There is no music in all the world so
sweet to me as the yell of the college
student II is the expression of abound
ing life of healthful youth, asa of un-
selfish loyalty. Every time a boy yells
for his college or his university, he is
drawing its colors about him a little
more securely, and thus he is laying the
foundation for that larger patriotism
which, in later years, will accentuate
his love of country every time he gives
q cheer for the stars and stripes.

songs and shouts of joyous college men

Restrained be the arm of the tyrant who
would reach out hand to throttle class
spirit. Blinded be the eyes of him who
will see nothing but evil in devotion to
fraternity. We live in an age when
gentleness and regard for the rights of
others are our watchwords of progress,
but to make cur civilization all it should

than the curse of the local mind
''The state university is a failure if
il be circumscribed in its influence and
usefulness to that particular state; but
the state university owes an obligation

take in students from all states. The
Matchmaking influence of such institu-
tions as Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Will

at will be granted that Vermont
should minister primarily to its own
sons and daughters, since its location
imposes that as a special obligation, but
it should gather into the inspiring influ-
ences of these surroundings its rightful
share of the splendid youthhood who are
coming East for educational advantages
in increasing numbers with every added
year"
President Benton then declared that,
in order to justify fully its existence,
the state university must project itself
out into every corner of the state for
service. The obligation of the state uni
versity to the public school system, he
said, is inalienable. If the schools of
the cities, towns and villages are not all
they ought to be, the state university
cannot be all that it should be.
After speaking in detail of the par
tieular relations existing between the
various departments of the university of
Vermont and the state of Vermont,
President Reptnu said,
"One of the greatest crimes of mod
ern times is that of educational nfanti
eide. Physiologically and intellectually
man is an infant, or at any rate should
be, until the age of twenty-five. A pro-
longed infancy means prolonged and
more effective maturity. Those cold
Fathers who wrote the constitution
were, for the most part, under fifty
years of age; but the men who are most
highly revered and who are our leaders
in the councils of thought to-day are
those who have passed in years the
three-score mark. We have now pyra-
mid which has heightened itself by fif
teen years since the beginning of the
last century The apex, instead Of
marking the age limit of efficiency at
fifty years, now reaches up and records
it at sixty-five years.

A TONIC FOR
THE STOMACH
Many People Who Think They
Are Dyspepfics Need Only TO
Have Their Digestive
Apparatus Toned Up.

Much Of the dieting and treatment
for stomach trouble is worse than the
disease and often aggravates it.
Tone up the stomach to do its part
rather than cut down the diet to suit a
weak stomach. Reduced nourishment
means reduced strength for the entire
system including the stomach. To re-
store the weak stomach TO strength and
health, it must be supplied with plenty
of pure, red blood, for every act OF
digestion needs healthy blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People meet all the requirements OF a
good tonic for the stomach because they
are an unequalled blood builder. The
pure, rich blood which they make slim
ulates and increases the flow of the
digestive fluids, removes any irritability
OF the stomach, soethes and strengthens
the nerves, and supplies the stomach
with the needed strength.

cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

Fletcher Proctor Dead

All that was earthly of Fletcher Dut-
ton Proctor passed away yesterday. His
death was not unexpected for weeks
ago it was given out that it was only a
matter of vitality, a question of days.
And yet the news when it came, smote
hard upon those who knew him, None
this time. In years and activities he
was still a young man. There was
much for him to do.
He had done much, for his had been a
busy life. He had to keep busy to make
the little business into which he had
been indicted, a giant among big in
dustries, with reputation world wide.
Into the upbuilding of the Vermont
Marble company, those who did not
know him well, might now say, he put
the better part of his life but this he
did not do.
He devoted time and energy to the
business, something one has to do to
make for success. That he was a good
business man none question, but he was
first and foremost loyal and devoted
citizen and his first duty was to the
state and the community in which he
lived. What he did for the state is
matter for history; what he did for the
town of Proctor will ever be his best
and most enduring monument,
His life is part Of the wool and warp
of the business and social life of Proctor
and is woven into many of the big
structures used in the great industry
there and others such as the Young
Mems Christian association building, the
hospital, public library and others which
will long endure.
He was blessed Of ancestry, he was
endowed with large wealth, but it was
nature that made him every inch a man.
He was large in stature, large in heart
and large in purpose. To his friends he
was loyal to the core and his friends
are loyal to him and his memory now
that he is no more, Fair Haven Era.
