Stein-BIoCh Clothes

The only reason why cotton is substituted for
wool in mercerized fabrics is to cheaper the
roods. A house is no stronger than its founda-
lion. So with clothes Cheap fabrics mean
heap clothes; and no matter how shrewdly they
are tailored. they will be untrustworthy. Stein
Bloch employ no mercerized or cotton adulter--
ated fabrics. Their goods are pure caustic-tested
wool, and the clothes made from them wear and
keep their shape.

The Temper of the Japanese.

We had better make up our minds now
than later that our friends the Japanese
will become more and more pes tiferous
as the years roll by. That is an newt
able consequence of the condition melted
by Great Britain for political purposes
and sustained by those of ourselves who
justly entertain a feeling of antipaJhy
against Russia That the present govern
ment Of Japan is sane and sober is mani
fest but there seems every reason to be-
lieve that its restraint is wholly diplo-
matte and in no sense representative of
the temper Of the people. This is but
natural. History bears no record of a
speedy and unexpected communal tri-
umph failing to induce self-confdence,
sensitive notions Of dignity and lust OF
recognition and even at times of author
ity. Alexander and Cesar only persona
fed the demands Of those who had made
their victories possible, and they would
have been as helpless in cautious resist
ence TO these demands as Napoleon him
self would have been, had his tempera-
ment been such as to Withstand the
frenzy of France for replacement among
the aristocracies Of Europe. So in Japan
today the rulers must reckon with a
people becoming daily more restive in
resentment Of evidences of the indisposi-
ton Of civilized nations to recognize in
them specific rights, which they believe
and firmly insist that they won by proven
skill in warfare with a great power.

Review.

Observations in ENGLAND.

In the provincial cities the general
prosperity of the country is very evident.
should hardly say there is boom in
real estate values. but many new houses
and shops are being built and the per-
centage of well-to-do people is very
marked. Municipal ownership of public
service utilities is prevalent, and, as far
as could judge, the scheme works very
satisfactorily. In Birmingham, moreover
the city government has bought many
slum sections and has made them into
attractive and healthful living places.
In general way the public officials
throughout England seem to be of a
higher grade than those in most of our
municipalities. Life in the cities. and
towns outside London is strikingly homo
geneous at least that is the way condi-
tions impressed me. OF course in some
instances may have missed the point as
foreigners do so often in describing our
country.
No one denies that labor conditions in
London are bad, but the state of affairs
seems to arise from a surplus Of unsi1illed
labor; there are, of course the unemploy-
ed and also the unemployable. In the re-
cesses of London appear to be many de-
generate people, now in the second and
third generation. The poverty of this
class, therefore, is not due to lack OF
general prosperity, but because they are
not efficient. / was greatly interested in
the public philanthropic work, and in the
apparent eagerness of the comfortably of
to improve the condition OF the poor.
These charities are conducted more by
communities as a whole than by private
enterprise as in the United States. Nat
urally, the problem there is more hope
less, for the dependent class is greater.
In the building of model towns in
country districts there is the so-called
movement back to the land" which
seems to be very satisfactory and fruitful
Of splendid results. ! have in mind es-
pecially the town of Letchworth, which
has been laid out to accommodate a pop
ulation OF $4,000. By the institution OF
these attractive municipalities, people
and factories are being drawn from the
large cities, to the advantage of all con-
cerned.
At present the English people are
greatly interested in labor conditions in
this country, and especially in the cam
paign against the trusts. They are look
ing for a similar struggle in their country,
and are observing us that they may be
the better prepared TO defend their in
terests. There is little agitation just now
on the tariff question, demand for home
products is sufficient to keep prices nor
NAL, and in the general prosperity OF
the country the matter of the tariff is
for the time orgotten.-[Interview with

s5o,ooo,ooo for improvements In and
Around Washington.

More than $1,000. 900 is now being
spent upon buildings and bridges of n
public character in and around Washing
ton, and when work already undertaken
has been completed Washington will be
without a peer as a city of architectural
beauty. In addition TO projects amount
ing to more than $50, 900, 900 now decided
upon and under way. improvements cost
ing an additional $50. 000, 900 are projected,
These improvements cover a wide stretch
of territory, extending from the soldiers
home on the north to the arsenal PENN
sua on the south and from Rock Creek
gorge on the west to the marshes of the
Eastern branch. When the Senate and
House Office buildings are completed the
plaza east OF the Capitol will be almost
surrounded on its four sides by one OF
the most magnificent groups of public
structures in the world. built of granite
and marble. The north and south sides
of this plaza will be bounded respectively
by the Senate and House office buildings,
which together are to cost $1,000, 900. The
west will be bounded by the imposing
structure of the Capitol, the eastern front
OF which is to be extended in marble at
a cost of 1880, 000 The eastern side will
be partially bounded by the Library of
Congress building, which has cost tine
government $6,920,0 900. The other blocks
of ground east of the Capitol plaza and
just north of the Library of Congress will
ultimately be occupied by a splendid
United States. The Capitol and its pro-
posed extension. the Senate and House
Office buildings and the Library of Con-
gress will represent an expenditure by
the government of $32,321,S49, and this
will make these structures the most cost
ly marble frame in the world for so small

Growth Of Industrlalism.
Isl. Adams Messenger. ]

The press of Vermont has already told
in detail how by the United States gov
eminent special census Of 1905 1t is
shown that the value of manufactured
products in this state had then increased
$12,000,000 over the figures shown by the
census of 1900. II may now be of interest
to notice a few signs OF the moderniza-
tioT of manufacturing methods that is
taking place here as well. There has
been an increase of nearly II, 900 horse
power in the amount of power used. of
which nearly 10000 is an increase in
steam power. There is a general falling
off in the amount of power generated by
water wheels and water motors. while
the horse power supplied by electric
motors owned rises from 729 in 1900 to
26SS in 1905, and by electric motors rented
from l444 in 1900 to 1850 in 1905.
OF course, these are small figures com
pared with statistics Of manufacturing
in the great Industrial states but Yer
mont is a small state and they are in
tensely significant to Vermonters as in
dicating the steady growth toward in
dustriaiism and trade that in the past
ten years has been so marked i'm this part
Of New England that men have so long
thoughtessly called exclusively an ag-
ricultural region.

discussion in Brattleboro in regard to ad-
vertised medicines and their value-the

and child in Brattieboro that we believe
the most valuable preparation of cod liver
oil-the hest tonic recOnstructor, health
restorer and strength creator-we have
ever sold in our store is Vinol
Vinol is not a patent medicine, 1t con-
tains no injurious drugs, but II actually
does contain all of the medicinal, cura-
tive elements taken from fresh Gods liv-
ers, without a drop of useless oil to up
set the stomach and retard its work, and
tonic iron added.
Vinol is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength creator
for old people, weak, sickly women and
children, nursing mothers, and after Sc
we're sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds bronchitis, and all throat and lung
troubles. We ask the people of Brattle-
boro to try Vinol on our offer to return
money If 1t fails. George E. Greene

Drive Wheel Burst, Tearing Building to
Pieces.

Persons passing along Westminster
street Monday morning about $50 were
surprised and startled by seeing the roof
ana sides of the engine room of the coat
ing mill under the hill, burst out. and the
debris fly in all directions. Much ex-
element was caused for a short time as
the crowd gathered, until 1t was known
that no one was seriously injured. The ac-
cident was caused by the bursting of
12-foot drive wheel attached to the en-
CINE that runs the coating mill. 1t was
located in a small one-story brick build
ing extending from the side of the five
story building towards the railroad and
street. The cause was a defective regu-
lator that let the engine run too rapidly
and suddenly the great wheel burst into
hundreds of pieces, which were thrown
with much force through the roof and
sides of the building. Foreman VIM. j.
Cleary was the only man in the building
at the time and he was struck on the
legs by some pieces which were not
thrown as forcibly as most were thrown.
His injuries are of a painful, but not Sc
rious nature. The building is being re-
built and the engine repaired, and both
the company and its employees are con-
graduating themselves that the results
were not more disastrous.
