Growing
Children

One-third of all the children
die before they are five years
old. Most of them die of some
wasting disease. They grow
very slowly; keep thin in flesh;
are frefu1; food does not do
them much good. You can't
say they have any disease, yet
they never prosper. A slight
cold, or some stomach and
bowel trouble takes them away
Sd5oTT,S EMULSION of
Cod-Gver Oil with Hypophos-
phites is just the remedy for
growing children. It makes
hard flesh; sound flesh; not
soft, f1abby fat. It makes
strong bones, healthy nerves.
It changes poor children to
children rich in prosperity.

Meeting of the Pomona
at Athens.

The regular November meeting was
held with Athens grange, Tuesday, Nov.
8. Clouds obscured the sky in the early
morning, and at the time of opening,
rain began to fall which continued
through the day. Notwithstanding this
there was large gathering and most
lively meeting.
Delegations were present from Victor,
Skowhegan, Norridgewock, + st Madi-
son, Scion, Bingham. Harmony, st. Al
bans and Pittsfield oranges and Athens
grange came out in large numbers to
give the Pomona a generous entertain
ment.
Worthy Master Holway WAS present
with the Lecturer, Steward, Secretary,
Gate-keeper, Pomona and Flora. Sister
Holman in behalf of Athens grange gave
an eloquent address of welcome and sis
ter Bosworth of East Madison grange,
responded; sisters Minnie Hight and
Abbe Fox each gave recitations; sister
Grace \ ork gave whisting solo which
WAS encored sister Galden presented a
short essay on "The legacy of freedom"
The following question was presented
for discussion "Is it advisable for
farmers to invest in sheep, considering
the present high prices they are obliged
to pay?" The speakers were G. II.
Jones, l.. C. Jewett, C. V. Barker, w.
w. Russell, Lester Holway, s. S. Wood
man, Zenas Hathorn, j. F. Corson, c.
Il. Allen, Bro. Fogg and Bro. Hutchins.
Nearly all spoke favorably of the sheep
industry, believing that this branch of
farming has bright outlook for the
present time. There were exceptions,
however, as in the case of Bro. Allen
who thinks there is more profit in 20
good hens rightly managed than in 20
sheep. Bro. Hutchins was also on the
dark side declaring that sheep run out
farm more than any other kind of farm
stock.
A hountiful dinner was served under
the auspices of Athens grange, and even
If the patrons had to turn out in the
midst of heavy rainstorm, they were
we'll satisfied.
