The MeddLer
''If the coat fts you. put it on"

Before Signing any contract providing
for the expenditure of $1,000 or more
in strengthening the eastern, abutment of
the suspension bridge the selectmen of
Brattleboro and Chesterfield ought to
convince themselves, The AIeddler be
lieves, that the proposed repairs would
make the abutment strong enough to
carry a new and heavier bridge such as
will have to be built in the not far dis
tant future. Otherwise it would seem
like a doubtful outlay of public funds.
While Bellows Falls labor troubles
have not figured conspicuously in the
news columns lately there was evidence
even before the outbreaks reported yester-
day that the animosity engendered by the
recent paper mill strike still existed. Only
last week union members of the village
fire department served notice on the
trustees that they would not participate
in the annual freman's day parade if one
of the trustees, also a foreman in the In
ternationar mills, took part, and the viii
lage officials evidently were sufficiently
impressed by the attitude of the depart
ment members to consider it necessary to
get individual agreements binding them
to take orders from the fire chief in case
of emergency. That the men who have
gone to work in the mills are being sub
iected to something in the nature of init
midation is evidenced by the fact that a
protest against their treatment by union
strikers was filed with the village trust
ees early this week. This petition was
the outgrowth of citizens meeting at
which it was unanimously voted to ask
the trustees to provide adequate protec-
ton for the men now at work. Whatever
the outcome of the strike, there can be no
doubt that its effects on Bellows Falls
business will be felt for a long time

ITS LIKE STARTING
 HIS LIFE OVER AGAIN
He Wouldn't Take a Fortune For the Good TanIac Did Him Declares LovalI.

John R. Lovall well known litho- grapher, who resides at S45 Park Ave. Bridgeport Conn, in relating his experi- ence with Tanlac. few days ago, said:
 Tanlac has made me feel so much like a new man that it just seems like am starting life anew It is the only thing that ever helped me, and I am anx- ious to tell others how fine it is
 About eighteen months ago I suffered nervous breakdown that kept me in bed for two weeks. and I hadn't been feeling like myself since. My stomach got in such an unsettled condition that it gave me all kinds of trouble, and my appetite became so poor I could scarcely eat thing. Gastritis and nausea caused me no end of worry. I would bloat as tight as drum, and had awful pains in my stomach and across the small of my back. l was so nervous that I couldn't hold glass of water at times without spilling it, and was so restless at night could scarcely sleep a wink
 T saw so much about what Tanlac was doing for others that 1 decided to try it and it was certainly lucky day for me l commenced improving from the very l start. and five bottles of the medicine have fixed me up in fine shape. The indi- sestion, gastritis and nervousness have | entirely gone, have a ravenous appetite eat anything I want, sleep like a top | never have an ache or pain. and couldnt ask to feel healthier or stronger than I dc now I wouldn't take fortune for the ! good Tanlac has done me-"
