AS a result four departments of the

Four high officials have been re-

Weeko Type is Needed.

The announcement that Judge
John &c. Weeks Of Middebury is be-
ing urged to allow the use OF his
name as a candidate for reelection to
the House OF Representatives, is in
line with what we have repeatedly
urged as the right policy for towns as
well as for the state as u whole, says
tho Burlington Free Press.
The state needs men OF the right
kind Of experience, and the town
which sends to the House "A former
representative who has served faith
fully and efficiently gains prestige for
itself and puts IN the hands OF its
representative the ability 10 do
things as well as TO obtain rccorni-
ton for The town itself which a now
man could not by any possibility Sc
cure. lt Is therefore a wise town
recognizes it's own best interests in
the reelection of an able and Efficient
representative in The Legislature.
The state needs number CT men
in the Legislature of the class of
which Judge Weeks is "A noteworthy
representative. lie is a prog 'cssiye
republican OF the more conservative
typo. standing for every worthy
cause and beng above the reach Of
the mere politician. No bette Illus
tration of his independence N'i loyal
ty to his sense of right regardless Of
organization politics could be dcsi,cd
than the course he adopted in con
noction with the filling Of vacancy
in his department once upon a time.
AS soon as tho filling of the va
oancy became a possibility a political
organization with which one appli-
cant for the position is affiliated at
once began a movement to secure his
selection. News papers we're inpor-
tuned 20 advocate his appointment.
individuals were implored to write
letters to the same end and no stone
was left unturncd to bring about the
desired result. simply because the as
pi-ant would strengthen a certain po-
litical organization.
JutNc weeks lleiu lidl tut ni'i-
ests OF the state and the cause of
prison reform and the true uplift OF
prisoners demanded a certain type Of
man. and despite the tremendous
pressure brought to bear upon him
through other branches OF the state
government &c well as By part OF the
press and By prominent men, he held
his ground and did what he Believed
to be right
When We say in this connection
that Judge Weeks had been rromi-
ncntly suggested To- governor 80 one
time and had been urged to allow the
use OF his name the present year rur
readers can realize that Add. m

Heat Is Quick to
Affect the Bo1UeLs
WelI-known Fact That Extreme
Heat conduces to Chronic
Constipation


SO many people are in the habit Of
eating cold food in hot weather that
constipation is very common during
summer. II is vest to vary the food
and have some hot things, as, for eX-
ample, soups and hot fish and meats,
If that is to be The diet. Iced water
should be drunk sparingly.
In spite of all care people will be
come constipaied, and if you find
yourself in thai condition you can get
immediate relief by the use of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. There is
no timo of the year when you should
be more careful of constipation than
in the summer, for many of the seri-
ious Illnesses as well as the fatalities
result from a ciosging up of the
bowels. You also need general good
health TO Withstand the heat, and
hence Syrup Pepsin is best to take be
cause it contains tonic ingredients
that help to build up the entire sys-
tenn.
