The Grange Meeting.

Windham County Pomona grange held
an interesting meeting with Vernon grange
on Wednesday. About so members were
present at the forenoon meeting, and at
the public meeting in the afternoon there
was a large attendance.
The question of the morning as to
"What good can we put into the grange to
make it seem worth while for others to
join u.s." was opened by Mrs. Newton,
who spoke of the educational features as
being of the greatest Importance. Mrs. A.
A. G. Ware followed, earnestly urging the
Importance of bringing our best thoughts
and experiences to the meetings, and al
ways to encourage the younger members
in their early efforts and avoid unfavora-
BILE criticisms. Mrs. Eames and w. p.
Banks, and Frank n. Farnum of Wards
boro each spoke of the desirabiity of put
ting into our meetings that which will at
tract and interest the children. Appar-
emily great interest was felt in this question,
but dinner time came and peremptory
summons put an end to the forenoon.
The question "Shall we feed what we
raise or raise crops for Market" was dis
cussed by J. E. Gale, T. w. johnson o..
T. Ware and others, the sentiment being,
as Mr.. Davenport of Hinsdale said, 'to
raise all we can, TO feed all we can, and
then, sell all we can" Brother j. IL.
Streeter was called upon to sum up the en-
tertainment, but he was 'too full' for ut
terance; but on his motion a unanimous
vote of thanks was given Mr.. and Mrs.
Withheld for their kindness and hospitality
in freely opening their house for the enter
tainment of Pomona grange.

# Starvation

is daily the cause of death on
every side, not from inability to
get food, but from the impossi-
bility, caused by disease to assim-
ilate it. Everyone has marked
the continual losing of flesh
and daily wasting away of some
beloved friend. Call the disease
what name you will, the fact
remains that the ultimate end
has been due to starvation,
Don't wait too long, give the
