The village of Brattleboro already
has authority to supervise the erect
ion of buildings within its limits.
II it adopts the new charter its power
in this direction viii be strengthened,
clause C., of section giving it the
right ''to enact such regulations as are
expedient and not inconsistent with
law, particularly such as relate to
the erection and regulation of
buildings and preventing fire
hazards, with the right of directing
alterations i'll stoves, freplaces and
causes from which danger from fires
may be apprehended. " This power is
| something which the village officers
should exert fearlessly and with careful
regard for the safety of the commu-
nifty. 1t is their duty to see that the
| demand for increased tenements does
| not lead to the erection of buildings
| that will not only be dangerous to the
t occupants, but hazardous to adjoining
property. BrattIeboro 5 business dis
trict is steadily increasing, and each
year sees the erection of modern build
ings on sites formerly taken up by
cheaper structures. 1t behooves those
who have built wisely and well, as
well as those who intend to do so III
the near future, to demand protection
The time to prevent the erection of
ramshaekle fretraps is before they are
erected.

ter p. m, and that packages of this
kind from the south are not left in
Brattleboro after the arrival of the
II a. m. train, except on Mondays
and Saturdays, being held up at
Springfield, Mass, or sent through to
White River Junction for delivery on
the following day. The reason for this
is said to be the lack of suitable

Express company. 1t is not apparent,
however, that said corporation is in
such financial straits that it cannot at
ford to furnish a suitable repository
! for valuables.

Here are two facts that may be
given consideration in connection with
the question of street sprinkIing: ~
There is an ample supply of water in
the reservoir which furnishes the vii
lage-without doubt gallons of it are
running to waste this minute; (2) the
village horses are not so overworked
that they are losing flesh nor are the
duties of their driver so onerous that
he may fairly be classed in the white
slave category. Whether the fact that
the water company is over-supplied
would enable the village to make a
special rate for water for sprinkling
purposes is of course doubtful, but
there is no doubt that the village
would have the right to employ its
horses to draw sprinkling carts if it
saw fit.

THE CRESCENT CITY
80 BRASS BAND BOYS.
A Statement of the Progress of Til.

A Statement of the Progress of Tk!,
Organization by "a Friend.
To the Palatka News.
Conference.-The following facts
have come to my knowledge of the
splendid progress and development
which has been made by the band of
Crescent City. 1t was such a sur
prise to me that | am very much i'm.
pressed and believe that it is but lust
and fair that the people of Crescent
City should be informed of the we'll
balanced business ability which these
young men have shown in the past
seven months.
| am further of the opinion that
these young men should be assisted
and encouraged in their work, there
by giving to Crescent City a good
band which the town can be proud
of, and will enable our people to en-
JOY some of the innocent pleasures
of life which, in a measure, broaden
our views Of a higher and nobler in
telligence.
In assisting these young men we
have the satisfaction of knowing that
we are helping them to worthy and
better standards of life. These
young men are not begging from the
public, but it is wise policy to help
those i'll any line who are using every
endeavor by good business capability
to help themselves.
AS the band has developed strong
element of musical talent, | appeal |
to the good men and women of Cres-
cent City to rally around them and
assist them in bringing the band to
perfection.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice With
Splendid Result.

II anyone should know the worth
OF medicine, it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is in a position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For a number of
years was great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July I had an attack
which was more severe than any. and
my friends thought l could not recover
from it. Then l was advised by my
druggist to try Vinol, which I did.
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; | have gained in weight
and appetite, and | am as strong as
ever | was. advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol."
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil.
aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron that makes Vinol so efficient.
Remember, we guarantee Vinol
to do just what we say - we
pay back your money if it does not.

Belief in luck retards progress, dulls

bases the body and keeps its votaries
ever behind in the race of life. The
man who believes that his luck is
against him-good luck-has cast over
himself an insidious spell and soon
will feel that it is useless to knock at

him because he comes to believe that

Statement of Crescent City Band,
Organized October l, 1912.

Cost Of Instruments, cases and band
paraphernalia, 81 ,120.65; instructors
salary per annum, 5000; total sub
scriptions from the citizens of Cres-
cent City, $1,000.
The association is practically out
of debt, due entirely to the efforts of
the members of the band. The source
of revenue has been from dances, en-
tertainments and monthly dues, with
the exception of the S90.50 subscribed
by the citizens.
The state of efficiency that the band
has attained proves that the members
have been earnest and conscientious
in their endeavors. The progress
that they have made in the seven
months that they have been organ
lied is marvellous, taking into con-
slderation the fact that they were
absolutely green in the business.
They assumed this Indebtedness
without so much as five cent piece
in the treasury. So much for the
band itself.
Too much credit cannot be given
to Mr.. Dell Wright, their instructor
The band was exceptionally fortunate
in securing the services of so finished
a musician. He has had some 80
years experience in band and orches-
ira work, having been connected with
Sousa's Marine band of Washington,
D. c., Rockford Watch Co. band,
Rockford, ILL.,, and has also acted as
leader of several bands, among them
the celebrated Arion band of Oshkosh,
Wis. 1t is largely due to his untir-
ing efforts and great patience that
the band has attained its present en-
viable position. 1t is the bands great
wish and desire to be able to keep Mr..
Wright with them indefinitely; and
also to perpetuate the association,
that it may become a permanent
Crescent City institution.
