 The committe appointed by the cit izens' meeting to investigate and re- port on the matter of organizing a library association has already held several meetings. It has reached one definite conclusion of interest to all, and that is to recommend that the matter of a library be taken up as a town rather than as borough. This seems to be a wise recommendation in view of the fact that library is of equal interest to all and no good reason could be seen for making a distinction between town and bor- ough in such an affair. The commit tee is divided into a number of sub committees in order to go into the matter most thoroughly in order to facilitate an intelligent discussion when the report is made. One sub committee is working on the question of possible room and the probable cost of maintenance. Another is looking up the proper steps neces- sary to take should it be deemed ad- visable to proceed with a library. The committee has received valuable aid in how to proceed from the state library committee. It has been very pertinently remarked that if one who had so recently cast her lot among us could think enough of our need in this direction to leave such hand some bequest, it was high time for us to do little thinking along that line. We spend, for instance, $15,000 a year for education as town and think that popular education justifies such an expenditure. HerGis very potent means of popular education that may be attained for only a lit- tie interest and cooperation by all. The ambition of the committee is to be able to answer all the questions involved when they report at town meeting to be called to hear their re- port.

AN ATTACK
 or LUMBACO
CANNOT BE CURED BY EXTERNAL
 APPLICATIONS.
They May Give Temporary Relief but the Disease Must 80 Cured
 Through the Blood.

s''SsS' s'S S'SSss
 Anyone who has had sn attack of lumbago knows the ordinary treatments, such as hot cloths, hot water bags, hot hatirons and bags of heated salt or hops. These give feeling of comfort, which is temporary relief, but tho disease is not cured and one attack follows an- other, suddenly and painfully.
 As in the treatment of muscular rheu- matism, lumbago must be cured through the blood. This is the method of the tonic treatment and it's success is shown by the statement of Mrs. Ida M. Hawes, of No. ll56 Washington street, New Dorchester, Mass. She says:
 Through exposure l became afflicted with lumbago a few years ago. l did not mind the trouble at first but soon it became more serious. The pains would catch me very suddenly in the small of my back and it seemed as though I was doubled up. My right side was affected and the pains were worse dur ing damp weather. I was hardly able to get around and do my work. My spine seemed to ache all of the time. I had these pains on and of for & number of years and was frequently confined to the bed for a week or more at 8 time.
 "The doctor said l had 2 very bad case of lumbago and that it would be some time before could get well. After taking his medicine for while, decid- ed to change to Dr. Williams Pink Pills. My sister had recommended them to me. The pills quickly helped me and took them until cured"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have also cured such blood diseases as anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and levers. Owing to the intimate relation between the blood and nerves, the pills have been found invaluable in such ner- vous diseases ss dizziness, nervous de- bility, neuralgia and St. Vitus' dance.
 A booklet, Diseases of the Blood" giving more information about the re- medy will be sent free on request. If you are suffering from impoverished blood you cannot afford to wait another day before giving the pills trial.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $250, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

THE WATER QUESTION.

It has been increasingly agitating the minds of many of the interested people of our town. as to just what Is to be the result of supplying pure fil- tered water from the old reservoir and mixing in a portion of raw or unliltefed water from the new reser. yoir. When 1t is considered that the surface of the new reservoir is eoy- cred with stumps, muck, roots, sod and various kinds Of vegetation, and that 1t will take many years to de- compose this mass of objectionable matter, it seems wise to give the question careful consideration at the right time. Our water commissioners have communicated with State En- gineer Scoheld, and his associate en- gineer, MT Fuller, spent last Tuesday looking the matter over and reported to the commissioners and a number of interested citizens at the borough hall. His report, which will be of in- terest to all users of our town water, was to the effect that filter was not necessary, but that a clearing off of all vegetable matter from the surface of the outer and shallow portions of the reservoir, would be adequate to provide good water. Does it not re- solve itself down to this proposition? Shall it be done now when teams ana men can work over the dry surface rapidly and at a moderate cost, or try it out and then, perhaps. con- clude to draw down the pond and with the disadvantage of the surface mud remove the objectionable mat ter? MT Fuller states that if done now, it will cost but little more than half the price of a filter, which he considers unnecessary. There was no estimate made on the cost of re- moval after the surface had been flooded and decomposition in oper- ation, but 1t can be easily understood that men and teams in the mud would work at a great disadvantage and doubtless at greatly increased cost. It is a common practice of late years to remove all surface soil from artificial reservoirs but it is expensive and where the exposing of the bottom is impossible it may not be considered necessary. The cost of the work on the new reservoir up to the present, has been we'll below the estimate, as we were fortunate in securing a low bid. Should not the borough prompt
 ly let our water commissioners know that it would approve and indorse their acceptance and action upon the advice of MT Fuller for good water? A month hence will be too late as the ground will be frozen if not covered. [George F. Shepard in the Danbury News.
