The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-02-25

The action of the Vermont house of
representatives yesterday in defeat
ing the bill giving women the same
voting right as men in municipal elec-
tions and for presidential electors was
somewhat of a surprise in view of the
predictions that were made after the
measure had passed the senate. It's de-
feat, however, is due less to an unwill
ingness that women should vote thar
to doubt about the right to extend
the franchise to them without making
them subject to taxation.

spoonful of orange juice is one of the
best tonics to give a baby. Stewed
prunes are wholesome, as well as
figs and dates in moderation for the

fruits will not crave sweets and cake
which are unwholesome, especially be-

Bananas are such a good, cheap
fruit that we should have them
served oftener in various ways They
contain starch, and in consequence
should be thoroughly ripe TO be whole
some. They may be ripened at home,
and when the skins are quite dark
they are best to eat uncooked. One
of the things about bananas which
cause digestive troubles is the astrin-
gent substance next the skin. Care
fully scrape the banana after the skin
is removed and the irritating principle
will be removed

with lemon juice and olive oil or
sweet salad with oranges and pine
/ apple they make a nourishing des-
| sert.
| Cooked bananas are especially nour-
| ishing. Baked with butter and little
lemon juice they are both palatable
and nutritive. The cooking furthers
the digestion of starch in the fruit
and thus makes them more digestible
Children's food should be, first of ALL
simple. Too many kinds of comb.na,
tons are upsetting to the delicate
stomach of a child. So in serving
fruits see that they have variety, but
not more than two kinds at one meal
What is true of fruits is also true Of
vegetables. They should be fresh and
in a good condition. All vegetables
containing woody fiber should be vel
and thoroughly cooked.

The Reformer cannot understand why
the Legislative committee on public
buildings should hesitate to report ia
vorably the bill repeating the ap-
preparation of 100000 made by the
legislature of 1912 for new state
building. The bill which carried this
appropriation carried also a .referen-
cum feature which gave the people of
the state the opportunity to decide
whether the appropriation should go
nto effect in 1914 or 1915. The people
voted against the earlier date, and
there is no doubht that nine of of 10 OF
those who voted thus thought they were
defeating the appropriation in so do
ne. What the present Legislature
hould do is to carry out the viii OF
he people in this matter.

MAY MAKE NJ 'ADOO
CABINET PREMIER
In Which Case Colonel House
Might Become Secretary Of
the Treasury.

Gossip in political and official circles
today is busy over the question OF who
will be Secretary Of State to succeed
William ]. Bryan. Officially, It Is de-
MED that anything has been settled.
One story Is that Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo may be transferred
to the state Department. Another is
that Colonel House, the Presidents
close friend and adviser. Is to be tho
new premier The talk of Colonel
House has been current more or less
ever since the Bryan resignation. 1t Is
known that some Of the colonefs Texas
friends are enthusiastic for him. though
II is suggested that II he should enter
the Cabinet no would be credited to
New York since there are already two
Texas men in the Cabinet.
Some of the colonel's admirers hero
opined today that he would at least
bo given the refusal Of a Cabinet place.
One possible solution. they thought.
was to make Mr.. McAdoo Secretary Of
State and choose Colonel House for
Secretary OF the Treasury.
Certain political elements are pulling
the wires to keep Robert Lansing from
the permanent appointment. ms Is not
sing on the score of merit. but because
they do not want a man to be premier
who is not a politician. lest he fail to
recognize deserving Democrats"
The President probably will announce
his selection upon his return shortly
after July from his holiday vacation
trip to Cornish. n. H.. according to the
that the President Is already being Inn
portuned by friends of various premier
ship timber" While the appointment
of his premier is, of course. a personal
and most important matter to tho Presi-
dent, claims of various persons for con-
sideratlon are said to have been put
before him.
That no action regarding choice OF a
permanent Secretary would be taken
until after Independence Day was
authoritatively learned today. It was
stated at the White House that Colonel
House was not expected here this week
He may visit the President while the
latter is at Cornish, Houses summer

ficult until tie very finish to decide which squad would win. The gamt created more excitement and enthusi ssm than any other of tire serie: played during the tournament.
 Pine Bluff defeated Stamps, as was expected, during the afternoon, but al night went down in defeat to Jon esborc, losing second place in the official standing as a result. The Pine Bluff boys worked their hardest took chance after chance, made bril- liant plays and at times appeared to sweep their opponents off their rect by their very dash and gameness, but with desperate rally at the finish the upstate boys were able t1 achieve victory.
 The tournament was perhaps the most successful ever held in the state and the attendance was fal larger than had been expected, even by the most optimistic. Some of the visiting squads made complaint, how. ever, over the distance to be travel ed by them, and the inconvenience caused by the necessity for long train rides in reaching and leaving Cros' set, but because the management o1 the tournament operated the affai, without a hitch throughout, it is ex pected that fact will overcome any objections in future years to the travelling feature against which com paint was made this year.
 The Stuttgart boys received all the honors due them tonight as two-time champions, this being the second suc- cessive year they have won the state championship at basketball. They were modest winners, however, ad- m:tting to some of their opponents that luck was big factor"
 The results in the games today were as follows:
 Morning Contests.

 Afternoon Contests.

Excellent Opportunity for Organlzn- tiOn Here May Mean Additional

Tennis players and lovers of Pine Bluff will be urged to attend a meet ing at the Young Mems Christian as scciation next Friday evening, al o'clock, for the purpose of organizing tennis club.

 ArrangeDents have already been made whereby the club can obtain th,. use of the vacant property at Sixth and Main streets. where three courts can be installed, and be- cause of the location of the courts, iu so convenient a neighborhocd, it IS believed there will be many per sons to take an interest in the club
