Every day you clean the house you
live in to get rid of the dust and dirt

would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sicklv.

wrecks, - rundowns, - brain Tags -
and pessimists we should see a virile.

Those subject to sick headache, bill

Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm

seIectmen to Terminate Road Contract

SeIectmen to Terminate Road Contract.
The work on the new state road on
Brattleboro street is nearing compile
tion, for this year at least, and the
seIectmen in conjunction with the
state road engineers have decided to
terminate the contract with James +.
Helyar when Ire viii have finished the
road through the ledge at the top of
Streeter s hill, the contract now be
ing void owing to Mr.. Helyar S failure
to complete the road in the time
specified. 1t may be said however, in
Mr.. Helyar S favor that rainy wealth
er has greatly hindered the work. I'm
der the existing conditions, of course,
he will not receive the full amount Of
money called for in the contract, but
will be paid according to what he has
done, this being readily adjusted be-
cause the prices had been figured on
the basis of so much a cubic yard of
excavation and so much square yard
for macadam road bed. The road as
far as finished is very satisfactory and
no doubt win prove to be the best
piece of road in town and most per
manent.
The selectmen viii finish the road
from the top of Streeter s hill to Sand
hill next spring and gravel viii be used
in its construction.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the

constant dread, the water passes some
times with scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
4 Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can t control urinatlon.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to oy-
ercome. Get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from your. pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in q glass of wa

two or three days. This will neutralize
the acids in the urine so 1t no longer

MANY REGIMENTS
WE'RE CUT TO PIECES
One of the Features of the Showing Is
the Remarkably Small Proportion of

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The appalling
extent of the German losses is revealed
by perusal of the official casualty list
issued daily blythe German government

The outstanding facts in these lists
are the enormous gaps in certain regi-

tire battahons are wiped out, the re-
markedly small proportion of officers
lost and the great number of volunteers
killed.
The latest lists available cover the.
losses for October. For Prussia, Wuert-'
temburg, Bavaria and Saxony there
are over 100000 names. 1t will
be recalled that at the beginning of
| November the Prussian losses alone
were estimated to be slightly over =,

The list for October 23 alone gives
! 10000 casualties. The Prussiap list in
cludes nine regiments of the guard, so
