Fans Should Prepare TO Start Some

That there are two ways, at least,
of looking at everything, two sides to
every argument and at least two pos
sible decisions open to every arbitra-
tor is well known. A few days ago
The Reformer printed an article re-
ferring TO the baseball prospects and
reviewed the discussion as it appealed
to the writer. A Bellows Falls resi-
dent was prominent in that discussion
and his version is plainly reflected in
the following clipped from the Bel
lows Falls Times:
Rumors have reached the Times
this week that Brattleboro fans are
waking up to the fact that baseball

An Interesting finding was that ex-
cessive weight was equally prevalent
among men and women, despite the
fact that the women consumed about
One-fifth less food than the men. As
pronounced overweight has a marked
effect In decreasing longevity, these
individuals have gladly taken advice

nation developed the fact that 10 per

The lesson from these findings Is
obvious. Health insurance Is rs i'm

the recognition Of this truism, some
Of the life insurance companies have

Wesleyan team was Professor Woodrow
Wilson. who In recent years has taken to
educating railroad presidents. bankers and
emperors with 4 leaning toward the pro-
miscuous use OF submarines, All ~ which
goes to chow what a vast future stretches
before the football coach.

been optional with the older en-.

complied with the requirements. and
some Of the more enlightened have
