Away in London.

Ensland's Leading Statesman Passes
Away in London.
London.-Joseph Chamberlain, one
of the most striking figures in Brit
ish politics in the past generation,
died at his London home. His
death came as a surprise. He had
been suffering with paralysis, yet the
condition of his health was not known
to be any worse than 1t had been
for the past three years.
The cause of Mr.. Chamberlain S
death was officially announced as
heart failure. Although he had been
gradually sinking for several days,
members of the family had decided his
condition should not become public
ly known.

CLAIM BRATTLEBORO
BREAD is SUPERIOR
Local Bakers Seek Assistance of Board
of Trade in Creating More De
mand for Their Output.

Representatives of the local bakeshops
appeared before the directors of the board
Of trade last evening to ask the assistance
of that organization in creating a larger
demand locally for Brattleboro-matie
bread. The local bakers contend that
their product is better than most of the
bread that is shipped into town for sale
by local grocers, and that if Brattleboro
housewives could be convinced of the
superiority of the homemade product they
would demand it in preference to the vari-
GUS foreign brands which the grocerss now
handle
1t was pointed out to the board of trade
directors that the wages paid by the local
bakeshops amount to around $4,000 a
year, practically all of which is spent at
home, and that this amount would be con
siderably larger as the demand for local
bread increased Most of the local gro
GERS, it was claimed, were willing to adj
NIT that Brattleboro bread was as good
as that shipped into town, but argued that
their trade had been built up on other
brands Grocers, however, make more
money on local bread and are not troubled
with the problem of disposing of stale
oaves.
The matter was taken under eonsidera-
ton by the board of trade directors.
