PAPERS BEING
CIRCULATED FOR
POSTMASTER
Should Vacancy Occur After
March 4, Republicans Will
Be Waiting

After the great Republican land
slide at the polls Republicans are not
letting any ice accumulate under then
feet in getting in line for whatev%
plums may be shaken from the gov
ernmental tree in the line of public
Office. There is some lively specula-
ton in regard to the postmastcrship
in 81. Johhsbuly and other towns in
Northeastern Vermont. Despite the
civil service rules it is expected that
many Offices now held by prominent
Democrats will be made vacant soon
after March 4 and equally promin-
cnt Republicans will benefit by the
change.
Papers were being circulated today
by friends of Arthur F. Stone, former
postmaster and editor Of the Caledo-
nian-R Record, and Joseph H. Brooks
of Boynton Ave, recommending them
for Republican favor should there be
a vacancy in the misunderstanding at
the st. Johnsbury Office. Other
names have been merioncd but so
far they have not matelialized into
an active canvass. It's an open season
for all good Republicans and as a re-
suit Of the great landslide there will
be 4 general cleanup campaign in
governmental Offices after March 4
and those who have been tried and
true in the ranks Of the e. O. p.
should reap the benefit.

Whitney .15 year old son of the miss
ing man, by former marriage, that
his step mQther was killed in a quar-
rel with Whitney and her body sub
seouentlv buried in well, he felt the
circumstances warranted exploration
of the entire farm. if necessary, to
determine whether the woman's body
was there. Having gone to the bottom
of one well yesterday and finding only
bones, believed to be those of an an
imal, the county authorities TODAY
today turned to another we'll well
packed with stone and debris in
manner corresponding with the des-
Cription Of the works Of burial con-
tanned in the account of the son. 1t

- family doctor. The whole
human body, not any small part
oft, was his practice. More than
half his calls" were on women,
children and babies. They are
the ones most often sick. But
their illnesses were usually of a
minor nature-colds, fevers, head
aches, biiousness-and all of
them required first a thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
DIR. Caldwell in the course Of 40
years practice, for he was grad
uated from Rush Medical College
back in 1875, had found a good
deal of success in such cases with
a prescription of his own contain
ing simple laxative herbs with
pepsin. In 1892 he decided to
use this formula in the manufac-
ture of medicine to be known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and
in that year the preparation was
first placed on the market. The
picture of DR.. Caldwell that ap-
pears on the package was taken in
that year.
The preparation Immediately
had as great a success in the drug
stores as it previously had in the
doctors private practice. Today
the third generation is using it.
