AND SANE FOURTH.
too early to begin
A SAFE
Now is none
thinging of a safe and sane observance
of the Fourth of July. This year, as
in the past two or three years, Brat
tleboro ought to do away with noise
and nonsense in celebration of the
glad occasion of the nation's birth.
The number of Americans, young and
old, that have been killed or injured
during the last ten years on the Fourth
of July comes to the startling total of I
nearly 40,000. If all were injured at
one place it would be thought a most
horrible calamity. The fact that so few
accidents occur in each city or village
during the celebration is apt to blind
people to the facts. However, the pub
lic is waking up to the consequences
of what terrible results have come in
the past from reckless and unchecked
use of explosives. May the present
yeat'show more attention paid to the
matter and a diminished number of ac
cidents. Statistics compiled bv the
merican Medical association show
that there has been a gradual de
crease. The figures for the past ten
vears are as follows:
Should Have Been CoL Kipling.
(Burlington Free Press)
Every time the King of England has
a birthday he creates two or three ti
tles and passes them around. It costs
the King nothing and does the men
who get them lots of good. It will
hardly make Thomas Hardy any great
er to be known as Sir Thomas, nor will j
it inflate the delightful actor, 1 orbes
Robertson, to be called Sir Forbes, but
some descendant to whom Hardy could
not ieque,ath his brains may be grate
ful for the title. If they will come to
Vermont we will see to it that they
are made colonels on the governor's
staff. We really lost an opportunity
when we failed to make a famous resi
dent of Brattleboro Colonel Kipling.

Induced Dr Howard Co. to Make
Special Prices.
After a great deal of effort and
correspondence Wilfred F. Root, the
popular druggist, has succeeded in get
ting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a
special half-price introductory offer on
the regular fifty-cent size of their cel
ebrated remedy for constipation and
dyspepsia.
Dr. Howard's remedy has been so
remarkably successful in curing con
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles that Mr. Root is willing to
return the price paid in every case
where it does not give relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specks before the
eyes, constipation and all forms of
liver and stomach trouble are soon
cured by this scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this rem
edy that Mr. Root has been able to
secure only a limited supply, and ev
eryone who is troubled with dyspepsia.

call upon him at once, or send 25 cents
and get 60 doses of the best medicine
ever made, on his special half-price of

fund the money if it does not cure.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Former Senator Bourne of Oregon, who
is now chairman of the joint committee
on federal aid in the construction of post
roads, says that the building of belter
highways would save the farmers and
country residents the tidy sum of a
billion dollars a year. He calls attention
to the fact that $,000,000,000' is spent
annually in feeding horses and mules on
the farms and aks the people to reflect
on the difference if the highways were in
condition so that motor trucks could
take the place of the animals.
When the good roads movement was
first started a great many persons seem
to think that it was entirely for the ben
efit of the few who used the highways for
pleasure. That idea has been pretty well
eliminated, but the real value of improv
ed roads to the whole people is still far
from being properly grasped.

WANT ADS.
There doesn't seem to be any limit
to the effrontery of the Chicago crook.
A prosecuting attorney Was recently
robbed of his pocketbook while pre
senting two pickpockets in court. If
an officer of the law isn't safe from
thieves in court, what chance can the
ordinary citizen stand of keeping his
money while on the street.?
Phoenix, Ariz., has voted in favor
of license in spite of the fact that the
women have a right to vote there. It
is harder work to forecast how the
women will vote .than it is to figure
cu the attitude of the men, which af
ter all is a compliment to the women.
Funny how the styles change in the
method of suiciding. Just at present
the bichloride of mercury route to the
hereafter seems to be decidedly popular.
