DIR. R. G. FLOWER
OF Boston, Mass,
Will BE at the Brooks
House Tomorrow.

Dr. r. C. Flower, the world renowned specialist
from Boston, will be at the Brooks House to NOR
row. DR.. Flowers great work in the treatment
and cure of cancer, tumor paralysis, heart kid
ney, stomach and nerve diseases has created an
enthusiasm among the sick everywhere
We published an article short time ago re.
garding DR.. Flowers miraculous cures in Connec.
ticut, written by j. Mah Bennett in the Lowell
Mail 1t reads like fairy tale and If true, it
goes without saving that DR.. H. c. Flower comes
nearer raising the dead, curing the incurable by
his new scientific methods than any living ply
scian. The writer of these wonderful cures de.
cares that every statement is the living, genuine
truth. The cures included many of the most
prominent men and women IN the East and in
each case the name and address is given the
plain facts can be verified by any one
Or X &. Flower is no new conner in this country
as for nearly a generation he has startled the
writer in describing Dr. Flowers cure of the ten
year-old daughter of DR.. Taylor of Paige Tex of
a large tumor after being given up as incurable
by the leading physicians of the South, says: In
the sick room Dr. X. c. Flower is a master; to
him the incurable diseases are of small conse.
quence, he toys with death as a plaything, brings
sunshine to the sick room of shadow and gloom,
and handles and cures fatal malades like ordi-
nary diseases. To DR.. Flower there is rarely ever
an incurable disease, and every year he adds
thousands of living shining testimonials to his
history of cures.
DR.. Flower can be consulted at the Brooks
House tomorrow. He will be in Brattleboro one
day only.

Vermont stone Interests.
From the Barre Times ]

From a statistical report of the stone in
dustry of the country for 1896, just issued,
it appears that the value of the granite
produced in 1896 was 81, ,944, ,994, as against
IS, ,S94, 1928 in 1895. While there was a
falling off in the value of granite the mar
BILE product shows slight increase, the
amount being 81, ,S59, 1856 in 1896 as against
81, S25, ,719 in 1895. From this report it
appears granite is quarried in % states,
Massachusetts, being the largest producer,
Maine second and Vermont third. Yer
mont leads in the production of marble and
only two states in the Union, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, exceed in the value of all
their stone products those of Vermont.
The value of the granite produced in Yer
mont in 1896 was 1896, ,516 and the total
value of all its stone products was 50, 753,-
S07. Pennsylvania, which leads all other
states in the value of its stone products,
produces granite only to the value of
Sl59,3l7, and Ohio, which comes next, no
granite at all.

his wear were the following :

From the latter date to July there was
no ore fire loss as large as $1,000. July Ii
occurred the largest fire of the year so far,
the destruction of the Welden House at St.
Albans, on which the loss was about S35,-
600 and the insurance $4,000.
Ii is cause for satisfaction that Mr..
Hayes is able to make his figures show so
favorably for the first part of the year.
May the good record continue as long as
the year lasts.

Light, Heat and Power from City Re-

In Shoreditch, borough of London on
the north side of the Thames, the daily
marvel is seen of dust and refuse from
city streets and houses converted into
steam, electricity and light for city use
1t is an achievement which has attracted
wide attention in this municipal world
Between 80 and 90 tons of refuse are
brought to the dust destructor daily, and
tipped from the carts into lifts. These are
moved by electricity up to the tipping
platform, run on rails and emptied into
bins from which the furnaces are fed. The
refuse is forced to burn, and thus generate
steam for the boilers, by motor fans
which draw hot air from the top of the
furnaces and force it up through the mass
as it is fed into the furnaces by the stokers.

The Canadian government has given up
the idea of collecting a ten per cent royalty
on gold mined in the Klondike region, as
being practically impossible of enforce

cure revenue by establishing a bureau for
receiving the gold and transporting it to civ.
ilization under armed escort.

was down to the lowest notch yet, 5jg

DESERVED ENDORSEMENT

Editor Of The PhGnir Now is the
time for all good citizens to speak out upon
the subject of the enforcement of the laws
in regard to :he sale of intoxicants in our
village and vicinity. Permit me to say,
for one, that the vigorous action against
the island pest by our bailiffs, their coun-
sci and officers, in ct operation with the
authorities in New Hampshire, is deserv-
ing of the highest credit and should receive
unanimous support. This running sore,
this constant waste, ought to be Closed up,
and the present action is revelation of
moral backbone which is our precise need.
The moral atmosphere is clearer by reason
of it and the tone of the community i'm
proved. We are, after all, people who
believe in the enforcement of the law, and
in the present law against liquor, if en-
forced. We are glad of evidence that it
can be enforced. 1t is so much better for
local morality and self-respect to close the
gap between law and public sentiment by
lifting the sentiment rather than by lower
ing the law. But the authorities cannot do
all. They are but the peoples agents.
The sincere and persistent endorsement by
the people, in an outspoken way, of the
present reform efforts throughout the state,
will gain for Vermont better prize than
good times or presidential visits, and that
is, "a good name" which, on high author
ity, is rather to be chosen than great
riches G. o. DAY.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, AUGUST Is, 1897

Germany acknowledges the importance
of her sugar trade with this country by en-
tering a written protest against our new
tariff on that article.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1897-08-13

Mr.. Days letter is timely word, well
said, in public endorsement of the work
which our village officials are doing in try
ing to stop the demoralizing work of the
"breweries" across the river. Perhaps in
diyidual endorsement, in spoken words, of
any work like this is not often enough
heard, but there is no doubt, and the Off
cials need have no sort of doubt, of where
public sentiment stands. The record and
result of every movement against the liquor
traffic in this village since determined work
was begun in the fall of 1895 shows this.
Beer and rum sellers may defy the law,
but they cannot control or beat down the
public sentiment of the village when it is
aroused and brought to a test.
The sentiment of the village endorses as
not too severe Mr.. Days Characterization
of this New Hampshire pest" 1t is not
only demoralizing money drain on this
village; the officers of the law have long
recognized it as the prime source of what
ever occurs in the village of disorder or
violence. All our people ask is that the
work shall be thorough, and persistent,
and lasting. What they will not approve
is an exhibition of sudden sporadic virtue,
to be followed by an interval of inaction
and indifference. Let "bailiffs, counsel
and officers" make clean job of it and
they will get public support every time.
