eVltoble Items Of Expense-A Way Of
Procedure Suggested.
On the question of municipal ownership
of the public water supply, as a propo-
sition by itself, there is probably little
difference of opinion among the voters of
this village. We have no doubt the SEN
'tment is strongly in favor of such own
ership as a general principle, so that the
real question to be considered is as to
what it is wise and practicable to do as
the village of Brattleboro finds itself sit
uated. 1t Is a question for responsible
men to consider on the facts, without
passion or prejudice And 1t is very
largely a question of counting the cost
before one begins, Here are some of
the essential facts which we think will
not be disputed.
Prior to 1892 the village had no author
ity by law to take or hold water privil-
eyes or build pipe lines. The legislature
of 1892 passed an act in addition to and
In amendment of the charter Of the viii
iage Of Brattleboro, X6act lit of that

The University of Berlin is the first
educational institution in the world to
establish course Of study in alchol-
ism.

this land are living unCer legal pro-
hibtienr-in tne form or other, of the

ology and hygiene, the law makes
mandatory. 1t is not it may be taught,
but it must.
If we spare" the saloon we are abb
solutely sure to spoil some boys.
It is known that in England and
Wales there are at least fifty mayors
who are total abstainers, while in
Scotland the chief magistrates of
about fifty Scottish burghs, including
the Lord Provost Of Edinburgh, are
in the same category.
A recent mass meeting to consider
the question of saloon lawlessness in
Beaver Dam, Wis, and to devise
means to combat it, was called by the
Catholic priests, held in the German
catholic Church and the resulting law
enforcement organization was headed
by the priest Of that church.

Drinkers Take Heed.


Over two millions Of the best posi-.
tions in the Cnited States are closed
to men VINO drink. In the centres OF
business men who are placed In posi-
tions cf trust must DE bonded by bond
ing companies, and not by their friends.
One of the main questions ,ha: a bond
ing company asks of one to be bonded
is ITO you drink intoxicating liquors?'
and they will not bond one who is
given to uriLk.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
not only insists on It's men being sober,
but insists on their keeping out OF
the way of temptation. Cn one d.
vision the trainmen were given orders
not to stop over night g the end or
their division at q hotel that had a
bar. The hotel near the depot closed
the bar because they preferred the pa
tronage of the railroad without drink
rather tn: to lose this patronage and
retain the sale of drink.
In Cincinnati railroa.- employe
lived next door to saloon. He was
much surprised one morning to get
notice from headquarters to change
his place of residence CT give up his
position with the railroad. The only
explanation given was that the rail-
road company did not care for any
of its employees to be 81 closely asso'
ciated with any saloon.
Yet there are those who arc demand
ing that a saloon shall be placed III
every soldiers camp.

Old Mantrap Found.

A mantrap has been found in Al
ford, Lincolnshire, England, which
shows the barbarity Of less than
century ago. 1t is probably the largest
mantrap in existence. 1t is 76 inches
in length and its jaws, with teeth pro-
truding 2 inches, will open fully feet
. inches by is inches. Oldtime land
lords who choose to insist upon their
rights in their entirety, as they often
did, were at liberty to plant these bar
barous engines about in the under
growth of their inclosed lands for
the benefit of any trespasser or possi-
BILE poacher who might chance to set
foot near them. Their use was aDol'
ished by law in 1927.

pleads Professor Ayrtm, Of the British
association in Africa, where the bridge
over the Zambesi River, near the Vic

Plans are forming for utilizing the
power of the falls, which represent
about one-hfth Of Niagara's power,
and fall from more than twice Mag
ara's height. The bridge, which was
opened with much celebration. is one
of the largest in the world and one OF
the most remarkable. 1t was con-
structed entirely in England.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANcE.

The Public Danger OF Intoxicating Liquor
is So Great In England and Scotland
That Many Cities and Towns Are Issu-
ing Large Posters of q Warning Nature
In view of the Increasing interest
taken by municipalities in England
and Scotland in the question OF public
health as affected by the use Of i'll
toxicating liquor, many Of the cities
and large towns have decided to issue
large posters in their respective areas
in order to warn the people against the
use Of alcohol. Several Of the London
Borough Councils, Liverpool, Leeds.
Tunbridge Wells in England, Glasgow
and Dundee in Scotland, are among
the places that have taken such &C.
ton. The Trade has raised an action
in the law courts in order to arrest
the spread Of the movement. The fol-
lowing is the form of poster issued by
the city of Dundee, which is typical
of that issued by other municipalities:

The Power Of God.

This is the greatest thing in the
world. 1t is here, too, manifested
through you and me and His living
Word. When God is in His Heaven
to the minds of men they are different
creatures. But if there is no God, and
He, if He is, careth not for His crea..
lures, then. after the philosophy OF
Paul, let US eat, drink and be merry,
for tomorrow We die. If He reigns,
however, let all the earth keep silence,
let all men be reverent. let purity reign
and lust perish. May we make God
known to His people. God and the sa-
loon are enemies. One must so. 1t
will be the saloon; for God is eternal

AMERICANS CROWD LONDON
MiIIionaires Take Their Check
Books and Pretty Daughters.
Records For Extravaganza and Dis.
play Will Be Broken This Sum-
mer--AlI Hotels Are Crowded.

London.-The army Of American mil
lionaires has begun its annual invasion
of London, with open check books and
pretty daughters. This season all rec
ords for display for extraVagant ex-
penditures will be broken.
The keynote of this campaign of ex-
travagance has been struck by a man
from Philadelphia, who walked into
the Carlton and said he would just
take an entire floor to himself and
his family. Subsequent arrivals were
informed that there was no more room.
The great West End hotels are al
ready crowded, yet the rush has hardly
begun. Every steamship leaving New
York is fully booked for the next three
months, and so great is the desire to
spend the winter profits in Europe
that hundreds Of tourists are cheer
fully paying first-class rates for sec
ond-class berths rather than wait until
the season" is over.
More money will be spent by Amer
leans in London this summer than
ever before. They are coming pre-
pared to scatter dollars with a reck-
less hand, for the past year has been
one Of unexampled prosperity in the
United States, and many men have
jumped from comparative poverty into
affluence.
The first ambition Of these people is
to 60 abroad, and London is their first
stopping place. Moreover, the million
aires of older foundation have had
their fortunes enormously increased.
with the money-spending mania in
creased in proportion.
This tendency is illustrated by the
regal magnifcence Of the American
millionaire on tour He is no longer
content with upper deck staterooms.
He must have royal suites" There is
a greater demand for these suites,
costing hundreds Of dollars for the
single voyage, than ever before.
All the great hotels, such as the
Savoy, the Cecil, the Carlton, Cla-
ridges, the Russell and the Great Cen
trail, are crowded with Americans.
Many millionaires had the fore
thought to engage apartments months
in advance. Others, who find them
selves without accommodation, are Of

Physical Deterioration and Alcohol

The Report of the Committee, pre-
sented to Parliament by command of
His Majesty, states that:
The abuse of alcoholic stimulants
is a most potent and deadly agent OF
physical deterioration.
Alcoholic persons are specially liable
to tuberculosis and all tnfammatory
disorders.
Evidence was placed before the COM
mittee showing that in abstinence IS
to be sought the sourc: Of muscular
yigor and activity.
The lunacy figures sho,"' large and
increasing number Of admissions OF
both sexes which are due to drink.
The following facts recognized by
the medical profession are published
in order to carry out the recommenda.
ton of the committee and to bring
home to men and women the fatal
effects of alcohol on physical ettl-
cheney:
(a) Alcoholism is chronic poison.
ing resulting from the habitual abuse
of alcohol whether as spirits, wine,
or beer, which may lever go as far
as drunkenness.
(b) 1t is q mistake to say that slim.
ulants are necessary for those doing
hard work.
lc) Alcohol is really narcotic, dull.
ing the nerves, like laudanum or
opium. It's first effect is to weaken
mans self-control while lis pas
sions ere excited; hence the number
of crimes which occur under its In
fuence.
ID For persons in ordinary health
the practice of drinking even the
milder alcoholic drinks apart from
meals is most injurious.
(e) The habit of drinking to excess
leads to the ruin of families, the neg
lect of social duties, disgust for work,
misery, theft and crime. 1t leads
also to the hospital, for alcohol pro,
duces the most various and the most
fatal diseases, including paralysis, IN.
sanity, diseases of the stomach and
liver and dropsy. 1t also paves the
way to consumpt;' n, and frequenters
of public houses furnish a large pro-
portion of the victims of this dis
ease. 1t complicates and aggravates
all acute diseases; typhoid fever,
pneumonia and erysipelas are much
more fatal in the -ubjects Of alcohol
ism.
N) The sins of parents who have
drunk to excess are visited on the
children, both morally and physically.
(g) In short, alcoholism is the most
terrible enemy to personal health, to
family happiness, and to national pros
perity.
