DIET SQUAD LOSE WEIHGT.
Menu Changed Today with Design tc
''Fatten up Dieters.

CHICAGO, Dee. Pacing a net
loss in weight Of IS pounds since last
Tuesday, today S menu was designed to
" fatten up" the y members of the
Chicago health department diet squad
attempting to demonstrate that good
living is possible at a cost not in ex-
cess Of 40 cents day The fact that
the combined weight of the squad
showed a gain of only nine pounds as
against a gain of 271a pounds at the
end of the first week of the experiment
was attributed to the change of the
diet to less expensive and less fatten-
ing foods. Members of the squad,
however, asserted that they feel just
as well fed as during the previous
week.

10 the Stockholders of the BrattIeboro
cooperative Savings and Loan AS
sociation:-
Another year has closed in our as.
socIation, making a total of four. This
association started in a very small
way four years ago and has grown. not
rapidly, but strongly and well. and at
the present time, according to the
treasurer s report, we have loans
amounting approximately to $4,000
and this has been placed in small
amounts in different parts of the vii.
a5e and town and the borrowers seem
very much pleased with the plans
while am sure that the investors ara
equally well pleased.
AS you can see from the treasurer :
report, the expenses of running tbn as.
aoelatlon are slightly over $50 wear
ard Tor the handling of this amount of
money and property we NAV consider
ourselves very fortunate that the ex.
penSes are so small. The officers of
- association are all enthusiastic
enough for its welfare so that the ser
wees OF all have been given, with tbe
exception of very slight fee. per
snare, to the treasurer and this small
fee will hardly pay our treasurer for
his postage.
wish to thank the officers of the
association for their courtesy. for +he
amount Of hard work they have put in
to assist IN making it a success. and 7
wish particularly to thank the treas
urer and can assure you that no one
can know the amount of work that he
has put into the organization but
those who are very closely associated
with him.
We consider this little association
| enc of the best assets of the town, en-
abllng, as it does, the small borrower
and the small investor to 90 in on an
equal footing with the larger one. All
this encourages thrift and saving and
the more of this that we have in our
community the better our community
will be.
| we can see no reason now WHY the
growth Of the association will not be
| steady and even more rapid than it has
been in the past. During the past 70
months our assets have nearly doubled
and if We can increase from $4,000 to
| $4,000 year it will be considered a
good, substantial and healthy growth.
and we would much rather see this in
stitution grow moderately than with a
boom, which might embarass us to find
good loans to care for all the deposits.
and | predict that within ten years we
| shall be strong financial institution
and it will mean that more and more
of our citizens will be living in homes
! of their own, and. in manv cases. the
cost of owning that home will be very
little more than they would have paid
Cor. rent in II wears.
Respectfully submitted,
F. R. VAUGHAN, President.

INDIANS BEAT TEMPE NORMAL
Special to The Republican,

TEMPE, Oct. 2S.-The United States Indian Schools twenty men pitted against Tempe normals unlucky thir- teen opened the football season on the southside in game here this after noon and the Red Skins avenged their defeat Of year ago with a 9 to victory. Through the first half it was an even break for the two eIevens but the Indians went into the game with an entirely new set of men in the second half and they worked the ped agogues for three touchdowns.
 With but two or three of last years men in the lineup, Coach Schaeffer sent his men into the game and while their pep lasted they put up a battle that equaHed anything the Red Skins could offer. Through the first quarter the two elevens worked up and down the field but neither team could near Its goal and time was called with the ball still near mid field A series of llne bucks, mixed with one or two ends runs at the opening of the second quar- ter, gave the normal the first score of the game when Davis Turner the ped agogues star at every turn. went over the line for a touchdown A goal kick netted another point In the same quarter the Indians had the ball at the normal thirty yard line and while the pedagogues were squabbling over a play, Clarence Butler got away with the ball for a seventy yard run and touchdown. A goal kick tied the score and then goth elevens buckled into good hard playing that meant no more scoring until the third quarter.
 With the chance for a victory in sight on either side, the third quarter opened but the fresh material that Coach Nenne sent in was too much for the pedagogues. Puella went over the line for an Indian touchdown in this quarter, and the fourth quarter netted the Indians two more touchdowns. Clarence Butler scoring them both.
 Considering the new material that Coach Schaeffer Is working with this year, and the fact that none of the men are yet up to standard, Tempe normal Is thought 10 have good chance for a winning team this year. Turner and Pate. both new men in the back field. showed up good today and Schaeffer Is confident that he has in them the making of two extra good players.
 II was announced tonight that the normal had completed arrangements for game. at Flagstaff next Friday with the northern Arizona normal. Ar engagements are also under way for game with another northern team on this same trip.
