Congratulations to the growing
city of Barre for the escape from a
strike Of the granite cutters. The great
strike which the Union advertised to
occur on March / was averted at
Barre by compromise between la.
Dor and capital by which the work
men were granted their claim for an
eight hours day and the manufac-
turers gained their point of 35 cents
an hour for compensation. Barre
has suddenly grown famous for this

where such a compromise was made.

privilege was granted in the prl

in an overwhelming majority for

there was obtained clear ma,

SMALLPOX CURE.
Simple Household Remedy De-
clared to be Effective.

An old druggist in southern Michi-
gan writes the Hancock Copper
Journal that the worst case OF small
pox can be cured in three days by
the use OF cream of tartar. Dissolve
one ounce cream of tartar in a pint
of water. Drink at intervals after
the liquid becomes cold. 1t is
claimed the simple remedy has
cured thousands and never leaves a
mark or causes blindness, besides
shortening the sickness. This
remedy is also declared to be pre-
ventive; it's virtues have long been
known. A correspondent OF the
Liverpool Mercury recommends it.
A number of persons in Hancock
and Houghton are already using the
foregoing simple household remedy
as a precaution. When taking a
bath use tablespoonful OF powdered
borax in the water. Borax is a good
remedy for affections of the skin and
produces healthy condition of the
surface. Its use therefore in this
manner is highly recommended to
prevent taking the con tagion.
