A woman simply grows hungrier for

Hot Weather Rumors.

Some one ON the Montpelier Argus
staff has been doing bit of politi-
cal pipe-dreaming of late and pre-
sents the following summary of the
situation in the state:
1t is stated on good authority that
Judge George NJ. Powers of Morris
Vile, when interviewed recently on
the question whether he would be a
candidate for governor in 1914, re-
piled in the negative. There had
been rumors in the air that Judge
| Powers could receive the nomina-
ton of the Progressives without
question and that there was a
strong likelihood of his nomination
being endorsed by the Republicans.
Judge Powers has been generally
considered a Progressive.
The expiration of Senator Pages
term as United States Senator two
years hence will no doubt demand
the attention of the politicians Of
the west side of the state between
now and then and friends of the
Judge would not be surprised to see
his name come in for prominent men
ton in connection with the office
by the time the voters are called on
to select successor to Senator
Page.
Prominent Republicans had hoped
to see both wings of the party
come together by the selection of a
strong candidate like Judge Powers.
Now they are as far apart as ever
and it is doubtful If they can agree
on peace candidate.
Among the names mentioned in
connection with the governorship
are Lieut.. Gov. Frank Z. Howe, Sec
rotary of State G. w. Bailey, State
Highway Commissioner Charles
Gates and Roger w. Hulburd.
The Progressives have trotted out
no candidate to head their party
ticket so far.
Some developments are looked for
within the next two or three weeks
in the SENSATIONAL fight. That Chas.
A. Prouty would have announced
himself before now had he intended
to be a candidate against Senator
Dillingham; is generally believed. An
announcement from Governor Flet-
cher whether he will or will not be
a candidate is looked for after his
return from Gettysburg-Brattle-

Bennington, vt, July 7. 1913.

Scareheads in the city papers
about saving $4,000 of government
money by not furnishing the sena-
tors and representatives in congress
with embossed envelopes and letter
heads is a specimen of twoddling
tommyrot that even intelligent folk
sometimes consider seriously. 1t
isn't in furnishing writing paper to
congressman that the nations money
is wasted but in extravagant, waste
full and useless appropriations. This
silly clobber about little stationery
is about as important as a spend

DISTRICT NURSING
Plan Under Way BY Dorset Valley
Improvement Association.

At an informal meeting of the Dor
set Valley Improvement association
Monday evening a plan was outlined
and discussed for the establishment
of a system OF district nursing in
Dorset The essential details of
this plan are that a graduate nurse
with some district. nursing expert
ence should be located at Dorset, to
work in the closest cooperation with
the doctors having cases In the
Dorset Valley from South Dorset to
North Rupert. At the can of any
physician this nurse should do yisi-
tation and hourly nursing under his
directions.
The nature of the work and the
frequency of the visits and the fee
to be charged for her services be-
ing in each case determined by the
physician. In this connection a store
closet will be maintained to provide
standard nursing SUPPLIES and all ma
terials needed from time TO time
which it is difficult to purchase on
short notice
The fee to be charged for the SER
vices of the nurse would vary ac-
cording to the nature of the SER
vices required and according to the
ability of the patient to pay. When
not engaged in regular visitation
| nursing the nurse would occupy her
self in general social work, furnish
ing instruction in home sanitation,
care of the sick, etc, and in some
domestic science work with young
people
1t is hoped that a general educa-
tional campaign with occasional lee
lures and exhibits may be made a
| part OF this work. This matter will
come up before the Dorset Associa-
ton for formal action in the near
future to see if it will undertake
the financing and general manage
ment of such an undertaking. All
the doctors conferred with agree
that there is great need, not only in
| Dorset but in all parts of the Coun-
ty for work of this nature. 1t is
hoped that the undertaking in Dor.
set viii be but the beginning of a
| system which shall cover practically
the entire county
