The Three Meal Habit.

Our three meal habit is fearful tax

No other HYGIENE mistake has done 80
much to m.!:e us a generation of dys

This valuation differs very slightly

total amount assessed for taxes was
$23,5l7 81, with a tax rate Of 10 l-2 mills.
A poll tax of $500 was assessed on Sl4

in the report of the committee. The
other expenditures have been kept
within the appropriations, except in the
case of the highway account. This has
been overdrawn 81, 172.73. The amount
raised by the town was $4,000, which
was as recommended by the selectmen;
but there have been only two or three
years in long time that the amount ex-
pended on the roads has been less than
that, and those years have been produc-
tive of much fault-finding about the con.
dition of the roads. Twenty-Five hundred
dollars is not enough to keep the roads
in passable condition, except in an ex-
ceptionally favorable season.
The balance against the town farm for
the year was S2l5.7S, and the total cost
