The more the question of establishing
building line on the west side of Main
street north OF High street is agitated
the more public sentiment appears to be
in favor of establishing such a line 1t
is generally considered also that Main
street from High street north to point
near John B. Manleys house ought to be
widened. There is sentiment that this
is not the time to take on the financial
burden of widening that thoroughfare but
that building line should be established,
before it is too late, so that the widening
can be done when the time Seems ripe.
There was no mistaking this sentiment in
the special town meeting, when it was
voted to undertake to bring about such
an arrangement with the owners of the
Hooker property, and with proper man
agement it is not impossible that the
evident desire OF the public in this mat
ter could be realized. Few will dispute
the fact that buildings on the Hooker lot
would be detriment to the appearance
OF the street if they stood out several
feet beyond the line OF Crosby block and

government for money with which to fl

current that as long as the fighting has

realize that tremendous expense is being

be as great a willingness to loan money
to get the boys back home, to finish the

fodder The government has offered ii
this loan the best terms OF any in the
series, making the investment especially
desirable, entirely apart from any patri
otto considerations and this town ought
not to be found SO far behind the otheI
Vermont communities in responding t
the call. It's attitude is a surprise to al

In most schools all that is attempted
to serve is hot cocoa, soup, or creamed

whole lunch is community affair, one

instead to send pan Of baked beans,

fully in localities where the commu-

Keep Cloth Looking Like New.

Keep Cloth Looking Like New.
To have fabrics, after laundering,
possess their original appearance. care
must be taken with colored materials
that they do not fade, and with white
materials that they remain snow white.
Aside from this, suggests the depart
ment Of agriculture, much depends on
the sizing Of cloth. Too much stiffen-
ing spoils Its appearance and too little
is quite as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stifening ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and also
acts as an absorbent for stain, thus
saving wear on the fiber by making
excess friction In laundering unneces-
sary. Manufacturers add other SUBJ
stances besides starch to their finished
mixture and their practices have been
adopted in home laundry work with
success.
For instance, borax gives smooth
ness; paraffin, wax or turpentine give
gloss; and alum q certain degree Of
pliability. The substance used to
whiten is bluing, which counteracts the
yellow tinge. To use any finishing proc
ess successfully the mixture must be
carefully worked into the fabric to
insure uniform finish. This is done by
dipping in and out of the starch and
bluing and rubbing well between the
hands.
