pear and the graded schools, $50 a year. The new tuition fee at the high school is to be $50 a year, while the fee for in- struction in the graded schools has been jumped to $40. At the same time the committee voted that payments of tuition by out of town students should be made in a defniA way, this applying to all those who are liable to the payment ex- cept those pupils coming from towns where the tuition charges are assumed by that town, or pupils who are sent to Putnam schools by the county authori- ties. Aside from these two exceptions payments must be made one-half in ad- vance during the first week of the school year, and the balance in advance during the 21st week of the school year. In those cases where pupils leave school aft CT the paying of the tuition, and before completion of the period for which the tuition was paid, a rebate will be made, pro rata, according to the number of weeks actually attended.
 It was aslo voted that no exemptions are to be granted to pupils who are liv- ing temporarily in the town of Putnam. In the past a number of pupils have at tended the Putnam schools each year whose actual residence was some town outside of Putnam, but these pupils, to secure the advantages of the Putnam schools, took up residence for five days week in this city The new ruling of the school board will no longer permit their attending the Putnam schools unless a tuition payment is made.
 In speaking of the action taken Mon day. one member of the school board re- marked: During the past year it har | cost the town of Putnam SiOO to give one child years schooling. Next year the cost to the town for each pupi will probably reach Sl25. It can thus bt seen that even the new, advanced rate: | do not actually cover what it costs thu | town to give instruction in it's schools fol
 one year to those pupils who come iron
 out of town. We are not asking thai

 The Putnam fire department was called out Monday night, shortly after II o. clock for fire on the roof of the house located at the corner of Providence and Marshall streets. The property is own ed by Julius Lahamme. The blaze was discovered a little before II and q call was sent to Chief Courtland D. Arnold who on arriving, he found that ladders were needed in order to extinguish the blaze, so a general alarm was sounded.

Many whose eyes were falling say they have had their eys~ restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man says, after trying it: T was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now l can read everything without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me. A lady who used 1t says: The atmosphere seemed hazy. with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can even read fine print without glasses" It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a req sonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever gettin~ glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of
