All Feel Temptation.

Now, every one here knows that he
or she is liable to be tempted to eat or
drink something that experience reminds
them is bad for them, and which their
conscience protests against their eating
or drinking. But the cavory aroma of
the Wand or beverage sweeps them OFF
their feet, aided, probably by the urg-
ing to indulge therein by others at the
table particularly by the host or hostess
if dining out--for the cold blooded
selhshness of ladies and gentlemen in
stuffire their unfortunate victims-the
unfortunate guests at their tables-with
solids or liquids there present which the
martyred guests show a desire to avoid
passes belief.

have the character-for that is what 1t
amounts to, nothing less--the character

will inevitably store up force of will

invited those present to meet and greet
Mr. Chaloner at the end OF his lecture.

and back to jail in default of $25, 900
bonds. Trial is set for the September
term of the Federal district court.
Ponzi told Deputy U. S. Marshals
who had charge of him during his TRIP
to court that his downfall was due
to the withdrawal of support by a
man prominent in the city's financial
circles. If given his liberty under
guard for six months he said he would
prove his solvency.
"There is likely to be a big blowup
within a few days." Ponzi was quoted
as saying to the deputies.
"If | tell what know about a cer-
tain man prominent in Boston who
poses as a philanthropist and public
benefactor, there will be a change of
sentiment. This man promised to
stand by me and was under agreement
to support me financially, but he
wanted the lions share of the profits
and because he did not get enough
he drew out"
In the throng which filled the court
room to the limit of its seating and
standing space was John S. Dondoro
described as a partner OF PonZl IN ms

the subpoena was made today.
In stead of the white flannels and
the cane which had made his figure

Real News
When 1t
Is News

. The Caledonian-Record gave
its readers a real big news story
last night when it was real news.
When the vote on ratification of
the Federal Woman Suffrage
amendment was taken at noon
yesterday in the Tennessee legis-
lature it was flashed over the
wires of the Associated Press
and reached the Caledonian- Re
cord Office at 1.10 p. M, over
its special leased telephone wire
from the Boston office of the
Associated Press. At 2So'clock
the Caledonian-Record went to
press with one of the most COM
plete stories published by any
newspaper of the State.
In the matter of real big
scoops" it is becoming almost a
matter of daily occurance. Two
days before we carried the death
of Ray Chapman, one of the big
gest tagehattt toli gg-uf--t
son. We were the first to tell
the people of Northeastern Ver-
mont of Charles Ponzi's arrest,
of the closing of the Hanover
Trust Co., etc, etc.
Those who believe Boston
daily newspaper is a necessity to
get the news are fast learning
that they can get all the ma
tional and international news
they want in the Caledonian- Re-
cord and at the same time get all
the State, and Home town news.
An hour after the Caledonian-
Record was on the street with
the great news that 27,000,00O
women of the United States had
gained equal suffrage the Boston
morning papers with news of the
previous days events came into
town. They told of the post
ponement of a vote on suffrage
on Tuesday the very story the
Caledonian-Re Record carried on the
day the postponement took place.
Or, in fact, the news of the
Boston dailies was just ONE
DAY BEHIND that of the Gale
donian-Record.
You don't have to take Bos-
ton Democratic morning paper to
get the news. You can get all the
news while it is news in the
Caledonian-Record and you don't
have to wade through columns
of words and "slush' to get it.
At the same time you are pat
ronizing a home industry, YOU
are aiding the home town mer-
chant in bringing trade to his
store instead of sending the dol
lars of home folks to the Ponzi
institutions of Boston, you are
making Northeastern Vermont a
olive wire" trading center for the
great "North Country. Tell
your neighbors what rood
newspaper the Caledonian-
Record really is if they are not
regular subscribers to the paper.
