Ornamental Lighting Posts.
Rutland News.

The public lighting company propose
to furnish the village of Brattleboro
ornamental lights. if the trustees wish
the same, charging the municipality
only for the current consumed. Brattle-
boro officials will do well to accept the
proposition for ornamental lighting posts
give a community beautiful and up
to-date appearance that results in a
great deal of favorable comment and
widespread advertising. Rutland has
found il so, and would not consent to
give up its boulevard lighting system
under any circumstances.
Brattleboro, however, should gain
wisdom from Rutland s experience and
give proper thought and attention to
the matter of properly placing these
cluster lights when the system is in
stalled. In Rutland the standards in the
business center were placed too near
together. If they had been substantial
~ twice as far apart the effect would
have been just as good and a given
number of posts could cover much
larger territory
In placing these lights the matter
of private lighting, from store fronts
and business signs, should be con.
sidered. Where there is considerable
commercial lighting anyway not SO
many posts are needed as elsewhere.
When the contract is renewed in this
city ii will undoubtedly be arranged
to take from the business center from
one-third TO one-half of the present or.
namental posts and place them on i'm
pOrtant streets not now illuminated by
this system. The number of boulevard
standards in Rutland could well be dis
tributed over twice the territory that
they occupy today. all of which would
convey a more adequate impression of
the extent of the city.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts before break

Bladder bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou

with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over

eral decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumns

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-

from your pharmacist about four ounces
OF Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neu-
trallze the acids in the urine so it no
longer IS source or irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.

Mayor Mitchell OF New York is in
favor Of the moving picture shows on
Sunday lie thinks there is much to be
said, particularly in reference to pie
lures devoted to educational subjects,
as attractions on the Lord : day. Sun
day is the one day in the week when
the great majority Of people are able
20 enjoy relaxation and diversion.
Mayor Mitchell is of the opinion that
there is as much reason for permitting
exhibitions of educational pictures on
Sunday as there is for permitting the
delivery of lectures on that day.

Ii Germany is unable to make any
substantial progress against Russia,
France and Great Britain, she at least
is determined to teach the little nations
Of Europe that they cannot interfere
with her plans with impunity. Bel
GUM, Serbia and Albania have already
been overrun by the Teutonic armies,
because they presumed to block Ger
many's way, and Roumania is now
threatened with the same fate. The
Allies have been unable TO render time
~ succor to the little countries thus in
vaded, and they have had to look on
while their feeble friends were being
severely punished. But the conquering
of all the feeble little nations of Eu-
rope, while proloneing the war, perhaps,
will not determine the outcome. The
fight is really between Austria Hun
gary and Germany on the one side and
Great Britain, France and Russia on the
other. From the Allies point of view,
these minor victories over little nations
are much to be regretted, but the war
will go on just the same until the big
nations are able to end it.

first things the dry goods clerk learns

certain large tracts of oil lands that are
a part of the public domain of the
United States. Not only is this con-
trary to the view now generally held,
that the public lands should be kept
under close government control for the
sake of the present and future of the
American people, but the giving away
of the oil lands is a direct thrust at
the naval efficiency of the nation. Oil
is regarded by naval experts as super
Tor to coal as fuel for warships: and
the navy department already sees in
the Phelan bill the danger that the
United States will be unable to secure
a supply of oil for its navy and will
therefore have to go on building the
older and less efficient type of vessels
driven by coal. We shall see whether
our congressman are guarding the pub
lie interest or bowling the knee to the
monopOlists. The government should
hold tight to its valuable possessions,
particularly those rich in minerals. oils
or timber. Great fortunes have been
made out of the government in the past
simply because due supervision was
not given to the value of the lands,
which were won by thrifty investors
almost without the expenditure of a
penny.

right here in Vermont is assessed at its
full value and in some eases in an out

remote from railroad and partly cut
over being assessed at 800 per acre
for timber alone. Can New Hampshire
or any other state show anything equal

W. V. Farr formerly of Westminster,
writes frequently interesting para

for which paper he has acted as can
vasser many years. He calls attention
to the wheat field of w. 7. Delano of
Shoreham, which produced over 400
bushels this year, or an average of
Il l-2 bushels to the acre. Then he
asks the pertinent query why farmers
should pay $12 a barrel for flour, when
good wheat land can be bought here in
Vermont at $3.50 to $50 an acre, while
wheat land in Kansas, yielding 20
bushels or less per acre, is held at $50
to $40 an acre. Presumably Mr.. Farr
does not expect an answer.
