the appearance of the street, also Ill the
proposition to widen the street at that
point and north, the seleetmen have asked
the town engineer, James p. Helyar, to
make a survey of the street and set marx
ers to show where the street and side
walk lines would be located if the street
was widened
In this connection it is interesting to
note that if it should be decided to widen
Main street there would be no obstacle
so far as the government property is con-
cerned. Postmaster NJ j. Moran, who
is custodian of the federal building, no
titled the treasury department that the
widening of the street was under consid
Grafton, receiving i'll reply letter read.
ing as follows:
This department notes that the pro
posed widening of Main street, in front OF
the federal building in your custody, as
outlined in your letter of the l4th in
stant,, would necessitate moving the side
walk on the east side Of the government
lot westward approximately six to esght
feet, thereby reducing the width from
the front steps of said federal building
to the walk by that distance. Your in
quiries regarding this mater are noted
'In reply, you are informed that thi
department is without authority to dis
pose of land under its custody, or t,
grant all easement in the property of tn
! Unitede States, without express legisla
| tive authority 1t is empowered, how
ever, in proper cases to give a license
revocable at the will of the secretary 0
( the treasury, to use the government
property whenever such action is deemc,
advisable
you may inform the city authoritie
that if Main street is widened both mort,
and south of the postoffice site, the de
partment will give favorable considers
ton to- an application from the city G
Brattleboro to use like strip off tn
government lot for the same purpose
Attention is invited to the fact, how
ever, that the department does not cor
slider such narrowing of the space b.
tween the front of the building and til
sidewalk, to the extent mentioned, d.
sirable from the standpoint of the az
pearanee of the federal building and tn

A SERIOUS MENACE
Epidemic Comes Back and Victims Number

You Can't Be too Careful If You Have Cold
Treat 1t Promptly with Father Johns Medicine

The public should realize the truth
concerning the grip epidemic. 1t is
again raging violently and the num-
Der OF cases reported shows that its
victims number thousands. We have
lost more people through this disease
than during the struggle with Ger
many.
While We drove it back tor a time.
it has returned with full viRoi and in
some places is even worse than dur
ing the fall.
II YOU become weak or yum down,
you are in danger from the germ
which is everywhere present. II you
catch cold your danger is even great
er because colds quickly develop into
grip or pneumonia.
In this time of danger Father
Johns Medicine should be kept on
hand in every home. The pure food
ingredients of this old fashioned
medicine build new strength 10 fight
off the disease. 1t is the logical safe
remedy for colds: its soothing ele-
