'In The Days News

William F. Kirby, who is a candidate
for denomination in the Arkansas pri-
maries today, Is completing his first term
IN the United States senate, having been
named six years ago to fill ont the term
for which the late Senator James p.
Clark originally was nominated. Senator
Kirby is a native of Arkansas, and a
longtime practitioner in her courts, as
well as a state legislator of some exper-
fence. His ability as lawyer led to his
appointment, in the early '90s, as a re-
wiser and eodifer of the states laws. La
ter he served two terms as Attorney Gen
eral of Arkansas and subsequently was
elected an associate justice of the state
supreme court, which position he re-
signed to take his seat in the United
States senate. In his contest for reelec-
ton he has as an opponent Thaddeus H.
Caraway, a veteran member of the Ar
kansas delegation in the lower house of
congress.

MAY REVIVE BUILDING.

The calling of a national congress of
the contractors, material furnishers, Ia
boring men, architects and bankers in
Chicago, September q, may aid in re
viving the construction of buildings in
this country. 1t viii give all interests
connected with construction work the
opportunity to learn just how much
they are responsible for the present in
activity If it also shows them conces-
sions they can make to renew activity,
and they will make them, there GER
tainly will be much more activity in
the building line.
Despite the enormous demand for
new houses the statistics compiled from
1872 cities show a decline in building
from April to May and even further de-
cline in June. The figures have
dropped to last years low averages
and building is failing to meet the nor
NAL demands.
There is but one reason for this in
activity and that is the abnormal costs
of everything connected with building.
Not. only are materials higher than
ever but all forms of labor are demand
ing unprecedented wages. The result
is that a building constructed under
present conditions costs so much it
would not be profitable in normal
times. 1t costs so much that an ex-

TO HER FRIENDS
Mrs. Downs So Happy Over
Her Restored Health She
Wants to Tell Every y
body About Tanlac

Il am so happy to think how perfectly
my health has been restored that / just
want to tell everybody about it, said
Mrs Charles H. Downs of 90 Betton
street, Brewer, Me.
81 suffered terribly from Indigestion
for years and finally got into an awfully
weak and rundown condition. My
nerves were so shattered the least little
noise made me tremble all over and /
was so restless at night that often j
didn't get off to sleep until three O'Clock
in the morning. | hardly ate enough to
keep body and soul together and even
the little / did force down would bloat
me up with gas until l could hardly
breathe. / just felt tired and weary all
the time and it was all | could do to drag
around"
Il shall always be grateful to the peo-
pie who stated in the papers what Tan
lac has done for them, for that was how
i came to hear about it. 1t did me good
right from the start so | kept on with it
until now | am as well as l ever was in
my life. am hungry all the time and
can eat three good meals day and
never have a touch of Indigestion. Ny
nerves are as steady as can be and i
sleep like a child all night / have
gained fully ten pounds in weight and am
so much stronger that my homework is
no trouble to me at all Several of nv
/ friends have taken Tanlac on my advice
with excellent results and / am sure it
would help all who suffer as | did"
Tanlac is sold in Brattleboro by the

Easy to GET Rid of Enemy.

Long before bullets were ever
thought of as an ideal messenger of
death. the idea of working evil on an
enemy was extensively practiced by
the Ojibwa Indian. He would make a
small wooden image of the one whose
destruction he. sought, and then pierce
its head or heart with a needle. He
was positive in his belief that the OBJ
ject of his hate would be similarly
affected. However, TO make certain,
he would burn the puppet to the ac-
compartment of magical words.

Montpelierites were reminded Sun
day that the old blue laws of Vermont
were still in existence when the police
broke up a Sunday ball game. The Gus
tomary procedure at such a time fol-
lowed when those at the game jotted
down the names of all merchants who
had kept open for business on that day,
also the number plates of numerous
automobiles, with a view to prosecuting
these merchants and drivers on the
ground that they were violating these
laws as well as the bali players.

Vermont Academy.
BARRE Times.)

Nowadays a private school or college
needs strong endowment in order tc
maintain the standard which the times
demand, and the tendency has been tc
wipe out the smaller schools and colleges
which have struggled along for years on
the receipts from students and minor
contributions from other sources. Yer
mont academy in southern Vermont was
one of the schools that was forced to close
its doors four years ago because of lack
of funds with which to carry on the
work. Since 1916 a good school plant has
been going to waste and the cause OF
education suffering to some extent through
the loss of the institution Now comes
the announcement of the gift of 100000
to Vermont academy and of the promise
of Sl5O,000 more from the Northern Bap-
fist convention. All of the combined
amount will be necessary in order to carry
on the school properly, and it is unfor-
tunate that part of the total must be
put into the construction of another
building to replace one destroyed by fire.
Schools of the type of Vermont academy
are being conducted on an endowment of
less than $780, 900 but they are meeting
with many vexations in continuing their
work,
