Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance If the even balance Of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up,
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best tonic
of which We have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla- What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction as
a preventive that II enjoys as a cure.
Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
OF the old saying that a stitch in time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength, and endurance.

Proposed Library Building, Village Inn
provement and New Industries Sub
Jects Discussed.
The semi-annual meeting Of the Bel
lows Falls board Of trade occurred Tues
day evening in Banquet hall A fairly
large number of members were present,
and many took part in the discussion of
the subject What can the Board of
Trade do in the interest of Bellows Falls"
CONGRESSMAN Haskins Of Brattleboro was
present and spoke interestingly, outlin-
ing various directions in which live
board Of trade can advance the interest
of any location and speaking also of
some interesting features of congressional
legislation as seen by him.
Among the most important subjects
discussed were the proposed library build
ing, village improvement and new in
dustries. President Day and G. w. Os-
good spoke of the absurdity of much of
the opposition that has been expressed
to the acceptance of the 900 by the
town, making some good hits by apt
stories. 1t is probable there will be
meeting of the town called as soon as
there is tangible information to present
regarding a location The board of trade
voted unanimously in favor of the ac-
ceptance of the gift. The new industries
committee made a report, but no great
advances had been maze IN tndt ulIeC-
ton. The village improvement commit
tee reported by its chairman, c. w. Os
good, detailing the work of the past year,
and the meeting readily voted an appro-
priation of $3.50 for the carrying on of
the work this season, A special COM
mittee was appointed to confer with
William A. Russell relative to the secur-
ing of a small park at the north end of
the village as a public park, the one
known as Russell park"
The treasurer reported $219 on hand
and the membership committee reported
1873 active members. A light lunch was
served in the hall and until a late hour
little groups of men talked over the
various interests of the village, and the
results cannot but be good in a better UNI
Outstanding of what every citizen can do
toward the advancement of all the in
terests of the place.

Plans for High School Commencement.

Plans for High School commencement.
The senior class of the high school is
making preparations for graduation, the
exercises to open June 16. The gradua-
ton will be extremely simple this year,
consisting of four essays, including the
valedictory and salutatory and address.
Those having essays are Kathryn Petty,
valedictory; Jennie Knegh, salutatory;
Hugh Kimball, honors in English; Louise
Hay, honors in mathematics. The
speaker will be Walter e. Ranger, state
superintendent of education The high
school scholars are practicing several
choruses which will also be given. Pre-
vious to this year it has been the custom
to hold a reception after the graduating
exercises, at which the class will, history
and prophecy have been read. The pres
emit senior class voted to go on a trip
to Washington, the excursion to take the
place Of the usual class day exercises.
Another new idea this year is the wear
ing of the regulation cap and gown, there
by decreasing largely the usual extrava-
CANT expense of the graduation outfit.
