At the graduation of the nurses class
at the New Britain, Conn, hospital, the
address was given by DR.. E. I. Bradstreet
Of Meriden. In his charge to the nurses
was this fine thought: "a hospital is
truly a sacred temple. For life in such a
temple it is obvious that person must
have sacred calling. A good nurse must
be a good woman. 1t is upon her that de-
Ponds IN a great measure the comfort OF
a patient. She should radiate her spirit
of sweetness and should take care that
her character and charm of pure woman
hood is made better and more impressive
as time wears on

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
SCHOOL DAYS
Whirlwind of Fun-Music, Song and
Dance Blended in School Play.

A whirlwind of fun, clean comedy and
music. all new and gorgeous costumes,
and an excellent cast is expected when
School Days comes to the Auditorium to-
morrow for afternoon and evening per-
formances. The Rustic School House
Dance is the title of new song that New
York thought was great, and today 1t can
be heard in every cafe, whistled on the
streetsean sung at Coney Island.
1t will be sung, whistled and danced by
large and sprightly chorus of cookbook
ing girls who have much to do with the
success of School Days.
1t is readily understood why this play
is making such a tremendous success,
when one stops to consider that with al
most every man, woman and child the
school days are the happiest, and many
wish they could live them over again. 1t
is a play taken from the school house and
transplanted to the stage and instead OF
the strict discipline of the schoolroom we
have little music, song and dance blend
ed together in such manner that even
the old school master can find no excuse
for using the ruler and joins in the gala
| day gambol with the children.

1t is said that Major F. w. Childs IS

Brattleboro when the latter was a can
didate for nomination figures largely
in the upset of the Democratic state
committee, which recommended NJ. J.
Moran instead of Childs for the Brat

proven that the way to man s heart
is via his stomach and that by taking
in transforming candidates for office
and giving them shelter from the ele-

If man had unlimited means and was
looking for safety first" it would be
good policy to travel all the time on
Cunard steamships or Pennsylvania rail
road trains. The Cunard company's proud
boast for years has been that it never
lost a passenger or a mail bag, and the
Pennsylvania railroad reports for 1914
that not passenger was killed in a train
accident, which is remarkable in view of
the fact that 1SS,411 ,S76 fares were col
lected over a system covering 26,19s
miles of track. These figures afford con.
vincing proof of high standards in main

The Maine Legislature is very closely
divided with 81 Democrats, 81 Republi-
cans and four Progressives. The election
of secretary of state has been prevented
SO far by a deadlock and there will be
trouble in the selection of other state
officers, if indications are to be relied
upon. The Maine lawmakers are hkelN
to have lively times before the session is
over and most of them will stick pretty
close to the state house when party legis-
lation is under consideration

The annoying situation that exists with
regard to railroad fares between here and
points to the south is one that ought not
to go unremedied. 1t is due, of course, to
the fact that rates over the Central Yer
mont and Boston & Maine differ at the
present time and that the go train south
and the 5.52 train north run over the Cen
trail Vermont tracks, although they are
actually Boston & Maine trains. In addi-
ton to correction of this apparent dis
lerepancy something ought to be done to
obviate the necessity of two mileage
ibooks. 1t ought not to be difficult fol
the two roads to come to an agreement
which would make mileage interchangeable,

The MeddIer
If the coat fits you. put Il on"

The Meddler fails to see any good rea
son why the county sheriff and such of his
deputies as live in Brattleboro should not
have keys to the new village lookup. To
say that one reason for not doing so is
that keys to the old lookup We're lost is to
place the blame on the sheriffs and to Inn
ply that the sheriffs are not as competent
to care for keys as are the police officers.
Chairman Richmond of the village commits
sioners says the village is willing that the
sheriffs shall use the lookup if they will
go to Village Attorney Hughes's Office
when they want key. Sheriff Mann asserts
that sooner than do that he viii hire
teams to take his prisoners to. Newfane
Jail. One can readily see where. a deputy
might decline to make an arrest 1t 1t
meant that he would have to make trip
to Newfane. 1t requires no stretch of the
lie police system refusing to help the
other, if indeed it did not put stumbling
blocks in the way of efficient service, If
this attitude of the village were to be
maintained. When the people voted to
have a new lookup they had no remote
idea of drawing any line between village
and county departments, and if petty Jeal-
ousies are to stand in the way of public
service the people should take the matter
into their own hands and say what shall
be done. As The Meddler understands it,
a simple distribution of keys among the
lsheriffs would settle the whole question
If the town should render to the village
la bill for several hundred dollars for the
use of the selectmen's room for police
headquarters in past years and the use o

For centuries the British pound ster- ling was the stable standard of value al. over the world. An English bank note or London exchange was like fine gold in any quarter of the earth. It is so no longer-the Dollar of Uncle Sam
 has taken it's place.
 Some idea of this can be gained froE3 the unheard- of low prices of for eign exchange in New York. Ex-
 change on London was sold recently as
 low as AGA and closed at 467h. That | means that the once -invulnerable
 British credit Is worth only about 95 cents on the dollar. French credit is
 worth only about S4 cents on the dol lar
 England has been trying to round us all the American securities held abroad
 to sell them in this country-that is have America pay all the debts it owes in that country-but has had little suc- cess. The reason, as explained by a London exchange leader. is that Ameri- ca has been buying these securities paying off the debts-at the rate of s20.00O.O00 a week for some time, and its total purchases have reached $500.- 100000 Now London is proposing an Issue of high-interest,' short term bonds to sell in New York.

sone cannot but wonder how much of actual truth reposes in the recent state ment of Lafayette Young, the famous Iowa editor, concerning the patriotic spirit of the citizens of the union.
 There are tifty-six kinds of Ameri- cans in the United States" says Young the larger portion of which are re- serving their loyalty for some foreign country. There is less true patriotism in the country today than at any time since the assassination of Lincoln"
 Considered in the light of present day revelations made manifest by the war the statement assumes most startling significance and one which is in no de- gree abated by the disclosures concern ing the attitude and acts of a larg' portion of our population in the present international crisis. Evidences that the true and undivided loyalty necessary to sustain the nation in the hour of trial are indeed lacking If we must accept as true indications of the inner spirit the expressions one hears on every side It is plain to even the unobservant that there Is a large body of our citizens who care far less for the welfare of the land of their adoption than for the suc- cess of other nations in the present international struggle.
 Also, evidences are not wanting that there are in our midst ostensibly good citizens who are engaged in fomenting strife and promoting discord in the in- terest of foreign powers and there are also not a few who are engaged in openly deriding the efforts of the gov- ernment to bring the nations to a just and proper view of the rights of hu- manity and the obligations sanctioned by years. All these are significant in- dications; straws which show which way the wind is blowing. And, of espe- cial significance is the fact that such manifestations are not confined solely 10 that portion of our citizen body designated as "hyphenated" They ex- tend to even the third generation of the native born: those whom We would un- occasionally designate as dyed in -the- wool Americans and to whom we would

| According to a Seward dispatch, a
 report on the sales of lots in the town
 site of Anchorage, Cook Inlet headquar- ters for the Alaska engineering com mission, shows that 45O lots were dis posed of, at total of $133,00O. The sales for the first day, including night session, totalled $5S,470, which breaks all department records for one sale. Commissioners Frederick Mears and w. C. Edes, with Anderw Christ ensen, head of the Alaska division of the United States land office, recently visited Matanuska Junction, the point from which the branch line to the Mat anuska coal fields will leave the main line of the railway. They have de- cided that no townsite survey will be made there this year. owing to their inability to select the best location until the road is farther along The commission has driven piles to deep water at Anchorage, on which drill will be mounted for the purpose of de- termning the nature of the bottom before commencing dredging for coal dock slip.

Seafaring men, fishermen and local launch men say they have seen no boats working on the spot where the Islander is known to have gone down, and the last expedition known to have searched for her gold was in 1908. This search was unsuccessful
 The Islander struck an icehurg early on the morning of August l5, 1901 eight miles from Juneau. and foundereo a quarter of mile off shore. with a fearful loss of life.

LIFE.

fife is n mixture of gladness and sad A mixture of laughter and tears Life is a blendiness of goodness and
 badness,
 And down through the lane of our oar feet must go tripping ard now and
 then slipping, We must pay for foilies with pain We must suffer for shining. but make a
 beginning.
 Each morning to conquer again. Life Isn't goodness and life isn't bad And life isn't laughter or tears. Heavens doors ere not won by the
 things we've not done But by the record of all of our years We've known sin and sorrow. shal
 know them tomorrow, Shall fail in our duty and mourn, But the chart that God reads is the
 sum of our deeds. Which shall show just how we'll w
 have borne. Life isn't praying. and life isn't play
 ing,
 And life isn't barring the doors. And remaining within. shut away from
 all sin
 And claiming each virtue as yours. But life is in living. in taking and giv-
 ing.
 IF not being afraid of a sin. Tn ins stering vices and paying their
 prices
 And rising above them to win.
