The Only Safe Way.
(Barre Times.)

The unwisdom of leaving poison about
ones house. especially where there are
children. was demonstrated anew in the
case of the Essex Junction child of three
years who found some strychninc tablets
on a table and ate enough to cause her
death. The tablets had been placed there
temporarily during the operation Of house
cleaning. The only safe way i'm conncc-
ton with poison is to retain none in the
house, but if poison is kept to place it
under lock and key. No doubt there are
countless instances where carelcSSncsS i'm
placing poisons might easily have resulted
in disaster except for some fortuitous cir
cumStance.

When BrattIeboro wants ANYTHING done
in the military line land some other lines,
too the town turns to +. w. Gibson for
assistance. 1t turned to Gibson to stop
the declining morale of the local military
company and probably to boost the plan
for securing the $4,000 armory and com
munity house combination. some of the
funds for which must come from the state
treasury. Gibson showed his LOYAL spirit
by accepting demotion in military rank
to captain and by taking on Il good-sizcd

The Meddier
'If the coat fits you, put it on"

Another little ray of sunshine comes to
the hard-presscd local taxpayer through
the announcement of the village commits
Sioners that they will recommend a 10
cent tax for the coming year. a reduction
of seven cents off the rate established in
1920. This means that the total rate
for residents within the village and in
corporatcd school district will in all prob
ability be S271O per thousand as COM
pared to S2S.GO last year. for it seems
safe to assume that the prudential COM
mittcc of the school district will not ask
for n higher tax than was voted in last
years meeting. On the basis of these fig
urcs and the new poll tax law. which
makes that tax aSSesSablc on 81 Of the
grand list instead of 50. the poll tax for
village residents this year viii be S2.T1
per person instead Of $5.71 as it was a
year ago. Thus it will be seen that even
the married man who has to pay his
wife's poll tax will be saving 30 cents
over what he paid on his own head last
year.

Speaking of the proposed reduction of
the village tax rate, it is evident from
their itemized estimate that the commits
sioncrS do not intend to curtail any of
the functions of the village corporation.
On the contrary, their figures indicate
proposed improvements in various de
partmcntS. For example. an estimated
expenditure of $4,000 for fire depart
ment maintenance as compared to S13.-
700 the past wear shows that the commits
sioncrs have in mind changes i'm this i'm
portant adjunct, while the increase of
800 in the estimated cost of garbage dis
posal gives ground for hope that the
present unsatisfactory system will be dis
placed by something more efficient. An
other significant item is that which pro
poses an increase of $1,000 in the cost
of police protection.
