when my boy was six years cid, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He could
neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed,
for the itching was dreadful. He would
irritate spots by scratching with his
nails and that only made them worse. A
doctor treated him and we tried almost
everything, but the eczema seemed to
spread. 1t started in O small place on
the lower extremities and spread for two
years until it very nearly covered the
back part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally / got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. 1
used them in tho morning and that even

them again and the Improvement even

During the year 1909 there were 20S
deaths in the city of Rutland and 40S
cases of contagious and infectious di

the most striking features of the an

Ball. In the early spring of 1909, the
board of health began crusade for
the elimination of dry closets and as
result, the number of these closets
is greatly reduced. One hundred
plumbing inspections were made, 10
per cent, of these being where mod
ern plumbing was being installed and
the mainder where new houses had
been erected. In the matter of clean
milk. conditions are greatly improved.

milk were inspected during the year
and in all but six, radical changes
were made willingly and the farmers
seemed ready to do their part. Few

Assistant Judges w. M. Barber and
r. w, Quinn were at the county court
house in Burlington Thursday to
settle the accounts of the State and
the jail prisoners of Chittenden coun-
ty for the year 1909. The money earned
by the prisoners by labor outside the
Jail will be turned over to the State
1t is expected that the total amount
will be small, as Burlington citizens
have not taken kindly to prison labor
This has also been the case in all the
other counties with the exception of
Washington county, where prisoners
ers have been employed at good profit
to the State. The class of prisoners
known as FOUNDERS" or habituals, are
little inclined tn work and serve their
time in jail with the utmost ease and
complacency. In fact, they seem to en-
JOY the days in Jail and would feel
much insulted If forced to labor. Any
how, their labor would be of such a
poor quality that no person would care
to employ them. For the prisoners
who prefer to work, the sheriff has
an exceedingly hard time to find any
thing for them to do. Most of these
men are unskilled laborers and con-
tractors and employers prefer to hire
men from the streets rather than to
give preference to Jail prisoners How
ever, many prisoners of the Chitten-
den county Jail have been employed
during the past year.

The committee of the Middlebury
College Corporation, which has in
charge the erection of the new dormi-
tory for women, for which 100000 of
the Pearsons fund will be expended.
has been prospecting this past week
on the new Battell Campus donated
last year by Hon. Joseph Battell. 1t
has been found that the rock on the
crest of the hill, one hundred feet
north of the cottages now occupied
as home for women, lies about seven
feet below the surface of the ground.
The new building will probably rest
its foundation on this rock. The site
commands a magnificent view both to
the east and to the west, and the new
building will be one of the most prom
inent objects in the landscape of Mid
dlebury. The ground there is forty
feet higher than that on which the
College Chapel stands.

A resume of the building OPERA
tons in Brattleboro during the year
1909 shows that the total cost of new
buildings erected will hardly exceed
the amount expended in 1908. Prob
ably 100000 will fully cover the ex-
penditures in the building line and as
usual the major portion of the money
expended has been devoted to the
construction of residences. About
thirty residences have been built or
reconstructed. With one exception the
residences erected have been built of
wood. The second concrete house to
be built in Brattleboro is the commo-
dious home of Mrs. Annie G. Cobb at
the corner of Linden street and Park
place. The structure is of the latest
type of concrete construction and is
probably as near fireproof as any
residence constructed in Brattleboro
Only a small amount of wood was
used in the construction. Cement,
metal lathing, slate and asbestos were
largely used in the building. This res
idence is the most expensive one
completed during the year and with
the exception of the thoroughly mod
ern and up-to-date greenhouse built
| by G. w. Durham on Linden street,
is the costliest structure erected in
Brattleboro during the year In the
way of public improvements there
has been much done during the year
Saturday saw the practical compile
ton of the project OH furnishing
Brattleboro with high pressure wat
erworks for fire and domestic Uur-
poses. Since early in the SUMMER
Crosby & Parker have had a large
force of men at work in Pleasant
Valley where the 120,000,000 gallon
reservoir of the BrattlebOro Water
Works Company has been construct
ed Nearly $1,000 will have been eX-
pended upon the West River bridge.
The installation of an up-to-date ven1
tilation system in the auditorium and
laying vi Tie MUM hdil PlicCl otN
er have added to the cost of public
improvements. With the amount eX-
pended by the Brattleboro Water
Works Company it is fair to assume
that $4,000 has been expended in
public improvements in BIattleboro
the past year. This figure may be in
creased by adding the expense of the
filling operations across the Hunt
meadow this fall an dthe work of rip
rapping the river bank along the
Boston & Maine tracks north of the
station. The expense of both jobs was
borne by the Connecticut River Pow
er Company During the year the pro-
ject of Harvesting the waters OF the
Connecticut River has been complet-
ed and high tension wires are bring
ing 19500 volts from Vernon to Brat
tleboro With the advent of more cur
rent from outside the town the Estey

in it's factory equipment and added
