half mile from the island. 1t was low

dense.
A lobsterman, Benjamin SWEET of Mar

The great shops OF the Brown and
Sharpe Manufacturing company are idle
at present and the 1000 employees are scat
tered hither and yon enjoying the annual
two weeks vacation.
This vacation usually occurs about this
time and serves a two-fold purpose, that
of sffordng the employees needed rest and
the opportunity for general house
cleaning OF the entire establishment.
A general survey OF the establishment
Yesterday showed the result Of this house
cleaning In every department Of the great
concern.
Floors, offices, walls machinery, and
indeed everything was spic and span and
the great shops, empty though they were,
presented a most attractive appearance.
But among the many prospective inn
provements--that which towers above
everything else at the present time-is the
building of the great foundry, ground for
which was broken within the past few
days The foundry is to be located d.
rectly in the rear of the present main
buildings and will cover when completed
a little more than an acre OF ground.
The present foundry OF the Brown and
sharpe Manufacturing company is en-
tirely Inadequate for the rapidly IN
creasing business OF the corporation.
Because OF inadequate facilities in this
respect IL has been necessary for the
company 10 buy a great many castings
outside. Moreover. the erection OF the
great buildings over a year ago added
largely TO the business OF the Brown and
Sharpe company and called for still more
castings.
For these and other reasons the building

In the Spring You Are Always
Run Down.
This win Tell You Just What To
Do For Yourself.
and Just Why You Should Follow
Exactly This Plan.

In the spring everybody needs to
think about taking a spring medicine.
Not only is this a common practice, but
a very necessary and healthful one. It
is fact which physicians acknowledge
and the people recognize generally.
that a spring tonic taken during the
months of March, April and May is
more conducive to the restoration of
health, in cases of those who are sick,
than any other course of treatment that
could possibly be adopted.
In the spring there are a great many
and important changes going on in the
body. Perfect health cannot be main
tanned while the system is clogged and
the organs sluggish, and the person has
languid and weakened feeling, with
more or less nervousness and debility.
Therefore everybody should take a
good spring remedy.
The best spring medicine, Endorsed
and recommended by physicians, drug
gists and the people, is Dr.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. In
proof of this, thousands of testimonials
