in the Legislature against any special

acts OF previous legislatures were re-
pealed.

If the householders work in a neighborly
way, for the good of their street, we
shall not have simply few beautiful
streets and many ordinary ones, but all
will be equally clean and well kept 1t
Is "A pleasure, on a summers day, to
walk through Washington street a model
of clean homes and beautiful lawns and
what has been done there can be done
on any other street. One IN kept place
spoils the harmony.
Brattleboro has three important needs
that have grown beyond the point of
dreams, and should become realities in
the near future Our boys and girls need
a playground and athletic field, and the
town should provide a place while there
are a few vacant lots that could be used
for such a purpose.
Since the removal of the American
House, there is no waiting room for those
who finish their shopping an hour before
the train leaves, or the tired mother,
with her children, who would be so glad of
a place to rest while she waits for the
husband to take her home. These things
are of daily occurrence, and none realize
the need more than our merchants
1t is not to be denied that the sur
roundings of our railroad station give the
travelling pubic a very poor impression of
our village. We hope to see the day when
we need not apologize for the appear
ance of our station.

On March 20, Edward r. Hartman,
secretary of the Massachusetts Civic
league, will show, by the aid of stereop-
ticon views, the ugly spots in Brattleboro
that may be improved and those same
spots after the necessary changes have
been made. His work is to make the
perfect whole, and to utilize the UNI
slightly places, where all beauty has been
unthinkingly destroyed, for a plot OF
grass or for planting shrubs He is
deeply interested, also, in the question of
parks and Fairgrounds The public is

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT
Woman's Clubs Campaign, with
Address by G. W. Cable
Originator of Home Culture Club of
Northampton viii Speak at the Brooks
House Wednesday Evening, March 20.

In the Boston Transcript of Dec. 5,
1906, 1.-THE Social Letter" says:
"The Greenfield board of trade is rails
ing money to encourage the establishment
of new industries in the town, without a
thought that any extended increase will
change 1t from a beautiful place of homes
TO a centre of industrial competition,
with all the attendant evils. Brattleboro
is doing the same, and with almost no
opportunity to expand into a city on ac-
count of the lay of the land, and with a
parkless, playless, congested and slummy
development staring it in the face"
BTattlebOro has no intention of drag
ging out the SUNNY existence predicted
for it and the board Of trade appointed
committee to look after the preservation
of the beauty of the town, as well as one
to promote its commercial interests. The
Woman's club has also added a civcs
committee to its list, whose duty 1t is
TO find the ways and means of improving
the village These committees have join
ed forces, and by their efforts, combined
with those of every householder in the
village, some things necessary to the
cleanliness and beauty of the town may
be accomplished.
The reform, like charity, begins at
home. We speak with pride of our green
hills, our rivers, our drives-but could
we all use that tone of pride in speaking
of our back yards? Would it not be wise
20 take a look about our homes this
spring, to see if anything could be done
there to improve the street? All great
Improvement comes from small better
ments and the clean home is the indis-
pensable unit of the beautiful town. 1t
was found last year that on many streets
we have become Slack about keeping the
grass evened where it meets the road or
gutter, and this is important.
As usual thing the front yard re-
ceives more care than the back yard
and we must not delude ourselves with
the idea that no one sees our back yard
Why not make it attractive by planting
suntiowers or hollyhocks to screen any
unsightly ash boxes or garbage cans?
Morning glories, also, are very satisfac-
tory for such purposes, We do not have
fower = ardens enough in Brattleboro
49, d days every housewife had her
rden, and we miss something of
Jy of life in giving up flowers

TORTURED DAY AND NIGHT

Inc Disease Has Its DangerE-Should Be
Taken in Time.
Rheumatism has long been regarded as a
trouble which, while it might be painful, was
not necessarily dangerous. Very few persons
it was thought, ever died from rheumatism.
Recent investigation among scientists has
proved, however, the utter fallacy of such be-
lief Three-fourths to seven-eighths of the
sudden deaths, heart failures, ETC., are due
primarily to neglected rheumatism. The rheu.
matte acid poison is allowed to stay in the
system until suddenly one day it grips the
muscles of the heart and all is over.
Rheumatism is durable il the proper treat
ment is used. Liniments, plasters and all
local applications may relieve the pain for A
short time, but no one ever heard of their
permanently curing a of rheumatism
The only way to cure rheumatism is the
uric-O way. Neutralize the rheumatic acio
and drive it from the system. That is what
Uric-O does. No matter what is the kind or
character OF the rheumatism, it is all caused
by the same rheumatic poison. Lumbago

its wonderful virtues and the many cures II

VOTE TOMORROW FOR BONDS.
CONTINUED from page u


At the same election the question
of increasing the rate Of interest OIL
the bonds from per cent to 5 per
cent will be passed upon by the voters,
and in this connection The Evening
Journal desires to say word in favor
of this proposition.
AS has been frequently stated in
this paper, the members of the board
have found it utterly impossible TO
sell the $4,000 worth of bonds at
the lower rate of interest. The COM
missioners made every effort to do SO.
but were compelled to admit them
selves defeated in their attempts.
One firm offered to take the entire
issue at par and pay a premium of
$500, providing the rate of interest
we're increased to per cent. There
upon the members OF the board determ
ined to again go before the people
and ask theeir authority to increase
the rate of interest.
This money is imperatively requir.
ed for the betterment of the schools
The present third ward building is a
disgrace and a menace, and it should
be replaced by modern and commo-
dious structure. More room is requir
ed at the high school building, and
one or more of the ward buildings.
These improvements cannot be made
unless the proposition is favorably
passed upon Tuesday.
Every voter who has the interest Of
the schools at heart should be sure to
go to the polls and cast his ballot in
favor of the increase.
