How to be Certain of
 Curing Consti patton

Letters recently received from Oracle Helton, Udora, Okla. and c. w. War ren, Keo, Ark, are but few of thou sands showing the esteem in which Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is held. It Is mild. gentle. -griping-not violent. like salts or cathartics. It cures gradually and pleasantly so that in time nature again does it's own work without out side aid. Constipated people owe it to themselves to use this grand bowel specific.
 Anyone wishing to make trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing pr. W. B. Caldwell, 405 Washington St.. Monticello. III. Your name and address, on postal card will do.

WHY HOTEL. MEN GO INSANE
Driven Distracted by Women Whs Make Extravaeant Demands for
 Few Days Stay.

"Ah;" exclaimed the manager of fashionable hotel, as he held his hand to his burning brow. "Women Women! They look the whole hotel over, make the most exacting de- mands for the comfort of their fami- lies during winter season, and then suddenly change the whole thing. After waiting upon two women in one day and arranging things so they will sign leases, the most expert hotel man is mental wreck.
 "Women who expect to remain only few days or weeks are no bet ter. They will write and engage rooms, and if they find we have giy- en them exactly what they ordered the shock is so great that they change their minds instantly and ask for something entirely different. And yet we must smile. New York Herald.

Prejudice Is hard thing to overcome. but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours, prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to lay 1t aside. This is said in the inter est of people suffering from chronic constipation. and it is worthy of their attention.
 In the opinion of legions of reliable constipation imaginable can be cured by brief use of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of it before, but do not doubt its merits on that account. or because it has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom- their children today who were given il by their parents, and it has been truth. fully said that more druggists use Il personally in their families than any other laxative.

MENINGITIS

large anu WltnOut any thought of self agrandizement I have after repeated solicitation gained con- sent of ny mind to write an ar. ticle on a medical subject which just now is giving both the peo- pie of Prescott and other sec- tions of our commonwealth great 90 lcern viz Meningitis
 Having treated number of cases besides having access to the worlds best authors on subject and realizing the people want to know for the purpose of protection to thems elves and families, more about the disease, I am frank to confess that it is not a contagious disease and 1 would not have anyone misunder stand mt in this article as the word contagion means the trans. mission of disease from one person to another by direct or indirect contact. Direct contact meaning when one person comes in close proximity with another afflicted with the diseases.
 Indirect contact meaning when coming in contact with wearing apparel or persons who have frequented houses where those with the disease reside. To calm the fears of those who should be and are interested in the condition of those afflicted with this malady. l am going to say that it is cer- tain climatic conditions which favor and are necessary to its development, and in order to convince the most Skeptlcal ot the position I take relative to the subject, I quote a few standard authorities. Loomis says;
 "Cerebro spinal meningitis is in no sense a contagious disease. Osler says "The disease seems not to be contagious and is prob ably not communicated either by the clothing or the excretions. y pr. Holt, a man who has devoted his life to teaching medicine and practicing on children and has had perhaps more chances to know more about ssuch diseases than any other living man, says: Meningitis occurs as a rule in winter and spring. Males being more often afflicted than females. It is not a con- tagious disease.
 When a large number of per sons living in the same locality contract the disease it is said to be an epidemic, and Yin order to avoid, as much as possible, the possibility of contracting the dis ease, one should eat and sleep regularly and keep the body comfortable by wearing warm clothing, avoid over eXertion, mental worry, excessive braln work, or anything which tends to lower vitality, thereby weak ening rrresisting power.
 Hop ng this article will be of serv Q to someone. 1 beg to re- mai

BARREs NEW SCHOOL HEAD.

The 'new superintendent OF the public
school system of Barre, Edward NJ Ros-
coe of Springfield, will come to Barre
with record of good achievement in the
educational line and an adaptability to
conditions such as the position demands;
and he will enter work of large oppor-
tunities, as the public school system OF
Barre is constantly expanding and offer
ing fresh occasions for development. The
next few years are destined to be marked
by considerable changes without doubt,
changes which have been considered al
ready, but which circumstances would
not permit. The man engaged as super
intendent during these coming years will,
therefore, be the guiding influence in
establishing the innovations, such as
manual training, domestic science and
allied subjects, which modern conditions
demand in the public schools. Those
changes cannot be made Immediately. but
the citizens of Barre and the new super
intendent should be considering the prop
ositions.

Fer Aiding In Getting Franchise Tax
From Peoples Gas. Co.

From Peoples Gas. Co.
Editor, Barre Daily Times 1t is very
j interesting to read some OF your com.
ments on editorials in regard to con.
ditions in Barre, clipped from other pa.
pers, also some OF your recent editor.
ials. Two of these we would like to
call to your attention.
| The first from The Times of January
| 10, under the heading, Taxing for a
| Franchise" taken from the st. Johns.
bury CaledoIaan: The city of Barre re-
ceived this last year the sum of S49l 80
two per cent. of its gross receipts, from
the Peoples Gas Co." The Caledonian
also SAYS that this is the only case
where a Vermont municipality has Sc
cured proper compensation from pub
| lie service corporation" etc. They also
advised "other cities and villages to re-
member this case when asked to give
away valuable franchises Your argu-
mcnts are also in favor of the above in
saying, that 'the yearly payment to
the city is not alone beneficial to the
city. but reacts also to the good of the
company in increased business etc.
The second from an editorial in The
Times of February 3, 1912, in regard
to boys and girls skating on the side
walks, also advocating a municipal skat-
ing rink and advising the city council
to think it over seriously.
Under the first, Taxing for a Fran
chise" 1t was some ten years ago,
city meeting being called for the pur.
pose Of considering the granting OF a
franchise to the Peoples Gas company
The Barre Socialists, having heard of
several who advocated granting this val
liable franchise free, decided to attend
the city meeting and refuse granting
tie right to the gas company to use
tlc city's streets and TO do business
within its limits unless the city receive
the right to buy the plant after ten
years. This the city meeting finally
adopted, after some discussion.
In the second instance, it was So
cialist who first advocated municipal
skating rink. Chapter IA, section % of
the city ordinances forbids skating on
TIL walks, while the city provides no
place for those who enjoy skating.
Skating Kinks have been constructed BY
individuals for private profit and this
winter the best place on the river (owned
by the public) that flows through our
city. has been taken and used for skat-
ing, to make profits for few. The
city prohibits skating on the walks and
those who enjoy the exercise are forced
TO pay for the privilege to those who
ave using the river for private gain or
to those who construct the Kinks.
In the first instance, the Socialists
were not in power, they were not a ma
jority in the city meeting, yet they
put through n measure which is prov
ing to be a great benefit to Barre
When the committee of Socialists
called on the city council recently. ask
ing them to consider ways and means
of opening municipal skating rink.
they were told the measure would be
contrary to the city charter. The So
cialist platform advocates amending the
city charter to cover measures for the
good of all the people.

VINCITIA EvENS UP.
Defeated Apollo Club in Four Out of
Five Tournaments.

Vincitia club last night eyened up for
the defeat received from Apollo club at
Montpelier a few weeks ago, by taking
four of the five scheduled matches played
in Barre. Apollo club maintained it's
supremacy in duplicate whist, by the
score of " to 81, but Nincta won the
two bowling events as usual, and, in
addition, won both the billiard and the
pool tournaments.
A large number of men came from
Montpelier early in the evening and re-
manned until the midnight train, and,
together with a liberal attendance by
Vincitia members, filled the club rooms
of the latter to their capacity. The
matches were close except in bowling
and in that Vincitia had walkover.
The contests were followed with inter-
est, as ii was not certain until the end
what the outcome would be. During
the evening, a buffet lunch was served.
The bowling matches We're run off
early in the evening at Buzzell's alleys,
and the scores of them are as follows:

unfortunately 50 many Latin Americans

not always fortunately been interpreted

There is no other way out Of it, New
Workers must learn to do the hop, skip
and a jump, and be proficient at it at
that. In one months time there have
been nine deaths and thirty-sev lesser
casualties from automobiles, let alone
the destruction to life from other street
vehicles and horses. One needs to be an
athlete of no slight agility to get about
in the huge metropolis; and when one
comes to cross the street it is more haz
ardous than going into a modern battle.
Automobiles whizz and whirr; street cars
rumble and rush by; horses dance along

like a shadow but with the force of a
catapult; and, to cap all, thugs wait on

lcte, preferably the long -gaited and agile
kind, who hop, skip and jump.

and the output being It's dozen pairs OF

are, of course, much lower than in the
granite plants, although they average
well as compared with the mills of other
New England communities. 1t is some
times said that Barre cannot support u

of living which, in part. is caused by
the high scale of wages in the granite
industry; yet Mortified has been doing
it for considerable time.
