The Montpelier Woman's club has
adopted a resolution which offers the
Board of Trade its cooperation along
any line desired and pledges it to kind
red purpose of booming Montpelier.
Those in charge of the tuberculosis
work at Brattleboro expect to open the
camp Nav if such alterations and re-
pairs as are necessary can be made by
that time. The Brattleboro Woman's
club, which has charge of the work, is
planning to add to the capacity OF the
camp by building an upper porch and
sleeping quarters for the use OF the wo-
] o6d
give sleeping room for six or seven more
patients. The matter of installing
electric lights is being discussed and it it
is decided to do so it is probable that a
motor will be used to pump water into
a tank in the attic to be used for santa
nv purposes. If such tank is installed
a bath room with modern fixtures will
be added to the equipment of the camp.
The Randolph Woman's Literary club
has again generously donated to the
Kimball Public library the books which
have made the rounds of the clubs roll
of members and are now placed on the
library shelves for the benefit OF the pub

: The anti-expectoration crusade which
was instituted two years ago by the
! Brattleboro Woman's club by placing al
t various points about town formidable
( notices calling attention to the dangers
z and to the law, has taken new lease o
, life through the energetic action OF Mis-:
Alice Lindgren, the nurse who is II
charge of the fight against tuberculosis
