REST ROOM MAKES
ANNUAL APPEAL.

The Brattleboro rest room viii have
its annual sale of red tags this week Sat

method of helping out its finances as its
very own that the adoption of tag sales
by other societies created a bit of constef-
nation among the board of managers,
who first employed this way of raising
money in Brattleboro, but it is hoped
there will be no falling off in the receipts
this season.
When the rest room was opened to
the public about 16 years ago it was the
purpose to make it a community center
and ii was given the name of Brattleboro
Rest Room and Womans Exchange. To
run the room the first year cost about
$500, and $500 of that was paid for
rent This could not have been done
had not devoted members of the W. c. Il.
t., given generously of means and serv-
ice and had not other generous contribu-
tionS been made of money and furnish
ings Now the annual budget calls for
the sum of 1900! The number of Wis
itors and patrons steadily increases and
the working force and expense has had
to keep pace.
The finest spirit of cooperation exists
between the Woman's Exchange and
w. G.. T. T., the former keeping, through
Consignors. two large show cases con-
stantly filed with needle work, knitting
and crocheted articles and hand painted
china. and one daily supplied with fresh
cookery which in turn is bought by the
w.. c. T. t. and sold to its patrons at
the lunch table, thereby contributing to-
ward the treasures of both organizations
and consequently helping support the rest
room.
Miss Addie Fay has so long been ma
tron of the room that it would be diff
cult to think of it without her as its pre-
siding genius She also is treasurer for
the two organizations and keeps the COM
plicated accounts between them and for
them.
The generous response the town has
always given toward the rest room sup
port has demonstrated the appreciation
Of its helpfulness

All Houses Without Suitable Recep-

Step Taken in Interest of More Effec-
tive Postal Service.

If expeditions and efficient city de-
livery service is to be accorded it is ss-
sential that all buildings to which mail
is delivered be properly numbered and
equipped with private mail receptacles,
says Postmaster General VIII H. Hayes
in an official notice to all the postmas-
ters in the United States, and he has
therefore designated next Wednesday,
Oct. 10, as National Mail Receptacle and
House Number day.
On that day the postmaster of every
postOtfice having city or village delivery
service viii require his carriers to re-
port the address of every dwelling and
place of business on their routes not
numbered or equipped with mail recep-
tacleS.
Postmaster NJ. j. Moran of Brattle-
boro has informed the local hardware
dealers. as requested BY the postmaster
general. that this step is to be taken
so that they may provide a sufficient
stock OF receptacles, mailing slots and
house numbers to meet the public de-
mand
After the reports by the carriers the
postmasters are required to communi
cate with owners or occupants of build
ings not numbered or provided with re-
ceptacles for mail, urging them to make
such provision, if they desire the prompt
and safe delivery of their mail and wish
to cooperate with the government in
providing a more efficient and econom-
ical mail service No particular style or
type of receptacle is required by the de-
partment 1t may consist of either a
slot in the door or a conveniently To-
Gated box of any suitable material.
In addition to assisting in the work
of the postoffice department, the num-
bering of houses in such way that
the numbers may be seen easily is a dis
tinet service to persons looking for adj
dresses. The cost of meeting these re-
quirementss is small. but the service will
be great, and it viii facilitate the work
not only of the regular carriers but also

with the various places of residence.
