The RefOrmer publishes herewith
an extended digest of Governor Glenn
ent's retiring message delivered to the
legislature at Montpelier this after
noon.
Chief among the governors rec
concentrations are:
Increased salaries for state officers,
especially the judges. 't.
Greater authority for the public
service commission.
\ state equalization board to en-
sure equitable tax valuations in the
various towns.
Increase of the state armOry APP
propriation from $4,000 to $4,000.
One central normal school, indie
pendent of any other institution"
Discontinuance of the Vail Agri-
cultural school.
\ new plan of state financing by
which the need of carrying such
large cash balance will be Obviated,
thus allowing the taxpayers them
selves the use of this money until
such time as the state requires it.

Constitutional Amendments.
You will have before you at this session
Of the legislature the proposed constitu-
tional amendment. Let me impress upon
YOU the Importance of this matter. as the
result of your deliberations may be to
change the organic law of the state. which
should never be done lightly or without
the most serious reflection. Under no cir
cumstances. do | believe that we should
remove any safeguards with which our
constitution is surrounded. nor permit it
to be changed without the sanction of the
people. in the manner expressly provided
therein.

Girls! Save Your Hair!

Immediately after a "Danderine" mas
sage, your hair takes on new life, lustre
and wondrous beauty, appearing twice as
heavy and plentiful, because each hair
seems to fluff and thicken. Don't let your
hair stay lifeless, colorless, plain or scrag-
gly. You, too, want lots of long, strong,
beautiful hair.

-- Accounting.
Under the system of state accounting
which has been followed from time imme-
mortal, advances of state funds to a very
large amount were continually being made
to state officials, which advances were to
be accounted for later by receipted bills
