(From tho Pennington Ranner.)
At last wo sen a way for the demo
crats to elect a governor In Vermont
John H, Sentcr, the well-known war
horse of Montpellor has pointed out the
way by coming out strongly In favor of
Governor Proctor. It the other domo.
crats fall In line they can place Governor
Proctor s name at tho head of their State
ticket and boat any candidate the re
publicans can name, especially If the re
publicans persist in choosing their can
dldnte from among the three candidates
already In the field, or whoso names have
been mentioned. Of course tho demo
cmtrf will have to secure Oovernor Proc
tor's consent, but that ought to be
easier than they have ever found It to
elect a man of their own party after
they havo gotten him nominated. Of
course tho rani; nnd file of tho domo
crats will not object because thoy wouid
merely following tho precedent set by
their party two years ngo, when they
placed a republican at the head of their
ticket.

Mr. Van Patten n ported that an In
vitation had been extended to the
Vermont State Teachers' association
to hold its next mooting In HurllnfT
ton, and that while a strong effort waa
being made to secure tho meeting for
Rutland, there were encouraging In
dications that the teachers would fa
vor this city, particularly as they
were well pleased with tho effort to
entertain thnn hero last year. It was
voted to devote every effort to secure
this meeting anil the committee 011
conventions was authorized to co-operate
in this movement In behalf of
tho commercial club.
The matter of I He neglect of tho ref
use covering the Hogau lot at tho
corner of Main and St. Paul streets
for over a year was discussed at
length by different directors and It
was resolved th.it the illsllgurlng con
dition of the property Is n disgrace to
our boautlfu: nty and the owner
should at least clear away the debris.
The matter was refer-ed to tho com
mittee on real estate.
It was voted that the Commercial
club co-operate in every possible way
to make a success of the effort to
suitably entertain the American In
stitute of Instruction the coming July,
and tho club will later Institute steps
In this diuction.
The club has under eouslderat Ion a
project to Increase the attractions of
Hurlington as a place In which to
trade, and it u hoped that the com
mittee on transportation will bo able
to Institute mt.isurcs looking In that
direction.

"A baby knows when ho wants to eat,
nnd Is provided with nn excellent nnd
most musical apparatus for conveying
that fact to your apprehension," says
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, In tho February
Woman's Homo Companion. "He knows
what ho wants, and will reject vigorous
ly what doesn't suit him. And you may
ho sure that he knows far bettor than
most adults when he has had enough.
"This fnculty Is present from his very
earliest appearance upon the stage ot
life. During the llrst threo days ot his
existence the healthy baby cries but
little and sloops almost constantly; and
wo have now discovered that during this
period ho not only requires no food, but
Is better off without It. He Is still di
gesting and living upon the veins ot his
mother, and until that process Is com
pleted, food In his little stomach Is a
foreign body. In fact, the Impression
that colic or 'cnllcklness' in a baby is a
natural eharactorlstlc Is chiefly duo to
the senseless Insistence of officious nurses
nnd anxious mothers upon crowding
things Into tho baby's stomach during
his first throe days. There Is another
clear Indication on tho nart nf Vn tore nf
, this fact, If wo had only been opon
I minded enough to see It ,ln that there
( Is no natural supply nf nourishment for
tho child until the close of those three
j days. Tho horrible things that are pok-
ed Into the unfortunate baby's mouth In
I order to correct this stupid oversight on
the part of nature nn l keep It from
, starving to death would almost stagger
creiiuiuy,
"His faculty 0f knowing what ho wants
In the way of food Is equally to be
trusted. He s largely a creature of cir
cumstance bore, and If what ho really
lltes doesn't happen to be orferod him,
ho of course can Indicate no prorerenee
for It. lie vastly prefers naturos own
source of nourishment, and is a thou
sand times Justified in his preference
Nature has taken a quarter of a million
ears in fitting cow's milk to grow no
i babv. hu' a calf, and a mother s milk
to grow a baby, and wo cannot expect
to completely reverse the process in one
generation. Not otilv Is the natural ..p.
ply a far better food, hut It is Infinitely
freer from contamination ami the. con
veyance of disease."

The United States department of agri
culture through its oilice of experiment
stations has carried on at the universities
of Minnesota and Malno extensive investi
gations relating to the digestibility and
nutritive value of all types of flour In
cluding ordinary white flour, Graham or
wheat meal which Is prepared by grinding
the entiro wheat kernel without remov
ing tho bran, shorts or germ those por
tions commonly known as the wheat of
fals, and the so-called entire-wheat flour
made by removing a part of the bran and
grinding the material liner than for gra
ham flour.
The conclusions reached from these ex
periments are given In one of the re-orts
as follows:
"According to chemical analysis of the
graham, entire-wheat and standard patent
flours milled from the same Ijt of hard
Scotch Fife wheat, the graham flour con
tained the highest and the patent flour
tho lowest percentage of total protein
(glutcnous matter ) Rut according to the
results ot digestion experiments with these
flours, the proportion of digestible pro
tein and available energy In tho patent
flour wa.s larger thnn In either the entire
wheat or the graham flour. The lower di
gestibility of the protein In the graham
flour Is due to the fact that In both gra
ham and entire-wheat flours a considera
ble portion of tho protein Is contained n
the coarser particles (bran,) and so re
sists the aotion of the digestive Juices and
escapes digestion. Thus while there ac
tually may bo more protein In a given
amount of graham or entlre-whent flour
than In tl.e same weight of patent flour
from the same wheat, the body obtains
loss of tho protein and energy from the
coarse flour than It does from tho fine, be
cause, although tho Including of the bran
and germ increases the percentage of
protein, It decreases the digestibility."
Professor Harry Snyder, in Harper's
Magazine for February.
WHY l-'ltANCi; HAS GOOD TEACII
I'llS. Tho high quality of teaching found In
French s-chools in duo In no small degree,
both directly and indirectly, to the Uni
versity of Pans, and to the Ecole Nor
mule Suporleure, also of the capital. This
Is a school, established liko similar
schools In America, as a place for tho
training of teachers. Its diploma is of
great worth In scouring and holding a
good place on a teaching staff. It has not
yet boon ablo to pass out of a stage of
ridicule nnd of a certain degree of disliko
on tho part of some scholars, although its
work Is of a very high character. This ex
cellence of the work Itself, however, Is
lifting It to a high and wide place of es
teem. In tho general scheme of scholas
tic sympathies and nffillitlon ttio relation
existing between this school ami tho Uni
versity of Paris Is helpful to each. The
university may present content of knowl
edge, and tho normal school methods for
making this content available as a
tcMchlng Instrument. In Paris and France,
as In America, the best teacher repre
sents tho liberal training of tho higher
education united with tho professional
training of the school of education. Pres.
