Stamp Tax Removed
After July 1.

A complete revision, under act
of Congress, of the war revenue
act, will become effective July
l. That source of expense and an
noyance, the war revenue stamp,
will be removed from nearly all
the documents used in daily busl-
ness transactions.
After July | no stamps will be
required on telegraph or telephone
messages, bank checks, bonds, GER
tificates of deposit, drafts, express
receipts, life insurance policies,
mortgages, power of attorney,
promissory notes, money orders,
protests, warehouse receipts, chew
ing gum, perfumery and cosmetics,
and proprietary medicines. These
are the articles, the tax upon which
has been directly borne by the pub
lie.
Many notifications have been
made in the revenue bill which af-
fects the manufactors. The tax on
beer, cigars, tobacco and cigarettes
has been reduced.
The tax on theaters, billiard
tables, pu5llc exhibitions, has been
retained, but greatly reduced.
There is still tax of l cent on
sleeping car tickets and a like tax
on bills of lading.
1t Is estimated that the govern
ment receipts will be reduced from
$40, 900, 900 to $50, 900, 900 annually
by the revision of the revenue act.

Got Rich Making Dough-
nuts.

The doushaut has frequently
been held up TO ridicule in the
columns Of the funny papers, but
there is one g,rl at least who owes
her fortune to the old-fashiOned
cake.
Miss Jennie Long Of San Fran
cisco has returned from Cape Nome
with gold enough to maintain her
self in luxury for the remainder OF
her life. She Eade it by cooking
doughnuts for tine miners in th a
far away region.
She went to Nome some time
back to see il she could gather
little of the wealth she had been
told merely awaited the picking up
there.
Within u week after her arrival
she bought tent, and in few days
there was sign hung at her doos
which informed the passing miners
that Homemade doughnuts" were
for sale.
From an old cook book that had
belonged 20 her mother, Miss Long
had taken the recipe for southern
doughnuts. This she followed to
the letter and the result was
that she had five dozen of The
incest little brown cakes that ever
gladdened the eyes Of q hungr2
man. Every one of the doughnuts
brought the sum OF % cents, and
in an hour all had disappeared.
After this orders came faster than
they could filled.

THE RAILROAD BANK.
And other Items Of Village Improve
ment.


The condition of the railroad bank
in the rear of the east side Main
street stores is once more under pray
erfu consideration There are said
to have been several hopeful CONVEX
sions. with prospect that something
may be done toward putting the bank
in decent condition and keeping it so
permanently. Glad of it. Ten years ago
The Phoenix fought this battle through
and got the rubbish cleared away by
the Joint action of the railroad com
pany and the Rural Improvement So
ciety. For a time it was kept in re-
spectacle condition, but of late has
been returned to its old use as the
dumping ground for coal ashes and
other rubbish. Col. Hooker has now
had the bank in the rear of his block
cleared up and graded, and his tenants
agree to keep themselves free from flu
ture sin in its DETACHMENT. The
Vermont Savings bank has also
cleared up it's own section of the bank.
Property owners and tenants above
take similar action. The Rural I'm
provement society will help out if it
can be assured that the bank will be
kept in decent shape once it is made
so. 1t is an old and true saying. a
thousand times repeated, that for the
good name of Brattleboro the nuisance
ought to be thoroughly and perma-
nently abated before the White Noun
tain travel begins. With thorough
work done now. and a little care regu-
larly taken from season to season,
the whole bank from the water-house
up could be made as clean and green
and attractive as it now is above the
town building.
A similar improvement has been in
stituted by the heirs of the Edward
Crosby estate and their tenants in the
rear of the Crosby building and the
Brooks House. The offence there has
not been nearly so great as on the
railroad bank, but with the large ex-
pense which the Crosby estate has
put into the Harmony building and
other improvements within the past
year it is felt to be the right of the
tenants there that this driveway
should be kept as tidy as anywhere
else in the village. The tenants of
the block cheerfully acquiesce in the
move. The driveway is to be sprinkled
this summer the same as the other
business streets of the village
