have been neglected for a long time
and need thorough oyerhauling. II
any such are in your town, why not
start now to fix them up as they
should be
Here is a plan that is strongly
urged for your careful consideration:
81. Look over all your buildings,
see what repairs, changes, and work
should be done on each one. and estim-
ate as closely as possible what il would
cost TO do the whole job.
"2. Divide the cost up to cover one,
two, three or more years, so that the
expense to the town will not be too
great in any one year, but plan def
initely to put at least one or two build
ings a year into first class shape, be-
ginning this year.
"3. Be sure your plan is the best
one that you can devise, then talk il
up, advertise ii and get people inter
ested in having good schools, the kind
they ought TO have for their children,
the kind that are a credit TO the town,
and not such as il has to be ashamed
Of or apologize for. II schools have
been long neglected, SO much the more
reason why they should be cared for
without more delay.
"a Then have your definite plan all
ready to propose at the March Town
Meeting, with call for appropriations
needed TO put the plan across. IL the
people see and know that your plan is
sound, progressive, not extravagant,
and represents real needs, they will
approve it and vote the necessary
funds almost every time. People us
ually have pride in their own town,
want things right, are anxious to have
good schools, not poor ones, and look
to their school directors TO tell them
what is needed, and what TO do.
"Many states and communities talk
a lot about what ought to be done,
and expect to do it--sometime, but
never get ahead very far.
LET US not have this true Of Yer
mont or any Of the towns in the state.
Simply find out the job to be done in
your town, decide how quickly it can
be done, and then all get behind the
job and push it MISUNDERSTANDING
now to prepare for the necessary ac-
ton at the March meeting. The way
to get anywhere is to start right and
keep moving along at the best pace
one can keep up.
"The aext number Of the Vermonter
will contain a comprehensive article
on "Recent Educational Progress in
Vermont" prepared by the State De
partment. II you want to know what
has been doing for the last 20 years;
we have been pushing toward
the front or dragging along in the
rear; where we are headed education
ally-the article ought to be Of inter
est to you."

ned Program.
Charles II. Dempsey, Commissioner
of Education for Vermont, has this
week addressed a letter to schoo
directors and superintendents OF
schools, calling to their attention the
matter of making plans for schoo
work for the coming year. The letter
follows:-
81 desire to bring to your attention
at this time the matter of laying your
plans for school work for the next
year, and OF securing at town meetings
necessary appropriations for carrying
out such plans.
"To have good schools it is neces.
sary to have a carefully worked out
program, covering the school work
which is thereafter TO be well followed
up. Two Of the most important things
in such program for most towns are;
First, securing first class teachers
IL you have excellent teachers now
show them your appreciation and pay
them within reason such salaries as
will enable you to keep them. If you
have some teachers working on per
mits, or who after fair trial have
shown their inability to make good,
start early to find and sign up skillful,
regularly certified teachers for next
year. Perhaps they may cost little
more than mediocre or poor teachers,
but they are more than worth the diff
ference. The welfare and progress Of
the children justify securing the best
teachers you can afford Often times
one or two dollars a week viii make

school and a serious failure.

The Secret Explained

AS simple and easily understood as is this
natural law, it seems almost magical in it's
results. Eugene Christian, a specialist of
international renown, discovered that it is
not how much they eat, and to certain ex-
tent it is not even i0hat they eat that causes
people with natural fatty tendencies to put
on surplus flesh. 1t is how their food is COM
bined. Eat certain dishes at the same meal
and they will cause more fabbiness and fat
and fill the body with the poisons that cause
the puffiness, the lack-lustre eyes and the
skin blemishes which so often accompany
obesity. But eat these very same dishes at
different times and properly combined with
other ordinary foods, and they make muscle

skin, brighter eye, firmer step and the
most wonderful energy and vitality. Many
write US that they have been positively
amazed to lose lines and wrinkles which
they had supposed to be, ineffaceable. So
that when you reduce to normal weight in
this simple, fascinating, natural way you
look even younger than most slender people
of the same age. You can then dress stylishly
and yet be in perfect taste. This seasons
designs are made for thin people In a very
short time after using this marvellous new
method you can wear the most colorful, the
most fluffy and the most extreme styles
and look well in them.
And, best of all, these wonderful benefits
are secured without any discomforts what
ever. No starving, no exercise, no medicines
nothing to do but pay attention to an
easily followed law of nature. In reward,
nature gives everything and exacts no pay
ment.

of properly combining your food you can eat
Potatoes, Fowl, Meat, Fish, Milk, Butter,
Cheese, Chocolate, Corn Bread, Wheat
Bread and many other dishes you have prob
ably been denying yourself. And yet you
will lose weight steadily, right from the
start--perhaps pound a day, perhaps
more-as so many others have done.
And as the unhealthy fat departs, your
flesh becomes firm, your complexion clears,
your eyes brighten and your health and en-
ergy increase wonderfully. Youthful looks,
youthful spirits and youthful form become
quickly yours.

Your Fat Goes Forever

When you have reduced to normal weight
and your fatty tendencies have been correct

these combinations up all your life, as Mr..
Clyde Tapp, of Poole, KY, says, "The de-

HAIL STORM DID
DAMAGE AT BOONE
Two Thousand Panes of
Glass Broken in Green
House.

The hail storm of last Friday even
Ing did a vast amount OF damage in
and about Boone. Much more rain also
fell south of this city than here. Says
the Boone News-Republican
The hail storm of last evening did
large amount of damage in this
city and vicinity. 1t was one Of the
hardest storms Of this kind in many
years and for several minutes during
the hardest of the down pour the
streets Of this city were sheets of
white, the hail being several inches
deep in places, especially along the
curbs
Reports from the Kemble- Smitl,
greenhouses in the northwest part of
the city show heavy damage, about p.
600 panes Of glass being broken by
the hail-stOnes. The hail entering the
greenhouse through the broken win.
dows did much damage TO the plants.
The work of repairing the broken glass
roofs will be started at once.
This morning the News-Republican
investigated reports of the heavy dam
ages here and throughout the county
to the prospective fruit crop. T. j..
Black said that fully two-thirds of
the fruit buds were whipped down by
the hail This seemed to be the case
wherever he had inspected the trees.
Other reports indicated a heavy loss to
the prospective crop.
There was little wind in this vicini-
ty with the hail and rain but for a
time it looked as though the city would
have the wind in addition to the other.
At Ames also the storm was accom-
panied by much wind and hail. About
100 feet Of wooden paving blocks were
washed out on one of the streets there,
according to a report this morning.
East of this city about three miles a
large tree was blown across the road.
