For the Famine Stricken.

The ladies of St. Johnsbury are not be-
hind those of the neighboring towns IN
the interests of suffering humanity, and
this time are wide awake in an effort to
secure clothing for the destitute women
of the famine stricken districts OF India.
Some of the churches have already ap-
pointed their local committee to make
plans for the work and Others will soon
do so. 1t is cause which will appeal to
every woman's heart and cannot fail to
meet with generous response from all
in the church and out, for while the
churches are leading in the matter it is
not confined to them, but is general
philanthropic movement of the town.
1t is hoped that large box of these sup
plies will be in readiness to accompany
Bishop Parker upon his return to India
the middle of September. Boon the look
out for further particulars.

John Barrett Coming.

The Mckinley and Roosevelt Club have
engaged a star speaker for Saturday
nights rally when Hon. John Barrett,
ex-minister to Siam, will be the principal
orator. Lieut.. Gov. Bates has also
agreed to speak for half an hour on the
issues of the campaign. The rally will
be held in Music Hall commencing at 8
O'Clock and the interest already shown
in Mr.. Barrett's coming promises full
house and an enthusiastic audience.
Mr.. Barrett is considered the best
speaker of these who are participating in
this campaign because of his long and in
innate acquaintance with the eastern
question. So little is known of him that
the following brief sketch will be read
with interest:
John Barrett is a native of Grafton and
was graduated with honor from Dart
mouth College in 1889. From Portland,
Or, where he was then living, he was
appointed minister to Siam in 1894, and
from the time of his arrival at Bangkok
he has devoted himself closet y to the
study of the Far East, and Of the
methods by which the conditions existing
in that part of the world can best be
turned to the advantage of America.
His annual leaves of absence were spent
in travel and observation in China,
Japan, Korea and the Philippines, and
his views regarding the commercial cap
abilities of these countries, based on per
sonal knowledge and communicated to
the world in official reports, letters to
Chambers of Commerce, articles in the
North American Review, Harper's Weekly
and other publications, received the at
tention, in America and Europe, which IS
given only to the opinions of recognized
expert. Since his return, Mr.. Barrett
has been engaged in an earnest effort, by
writing and lecturing, to stimulate popu-
lar interest in the United States in the
lands that border the eastern shore OF
the Pacific. Indeed, there is probably no
American who has done more than he to
make this country appreciate its great
opportunities and responsibilities there.
Do not fail to hear this magnetic and
well-informed diplomat and statesman.

The Academy.

On September 4, at $50 a. M, will
open the 58th school-year OF the Acad-
envy. The attendance promises to be
large. Two new instructors will fill the
positions formerly held by Mr.. Bracket
and Miss Carpenter. The Science de-
partment will be in charge Of Eugene {.
Bingham, a graduate of Middlebury
College and man of marked ability and
promise in his profession. His record as
a student and teacher has been charac-
terized by most thorough preparation,
high standards. devotion to his chosen
work, ability to impart information,
and qualities of healthful leadership.
The Academy authorities feel confident
that Mr. Bingham will bring to his work
in St. Tohnsbury vigorous, attractive
and progressive methods OF instruction
and that he will exercise strong and
helpful influence upon the student life Of
the Academy.
In Miss Alice J. Hazeltine, who will
succeed Miss Carpenter as teacher OF
Rhetoric and English Literature, the
Academy has secured an instructor OF
rare gifts and teaching ability. Miss
Hazeltine is graduate of Wellesley Col
lege and has taught for twelve years
with very marked success. She has won
unstinted praise from all with whom she
has been associated as teacher. Promi
nent educators say of her, Her culture
and refinement, her genial character, and
easy management of her classes-all COM
mend her as a teacher Earnest, consci-
entious, faithful, she has always sought
the highest interests of her pupils and of
the school. Her method OF instruction
is that which requires careful and earnest
work on the part OF the student. She is
logical direct and exact in her teaching
and questioning"
There are very numerous requests from
young persons of limited means, for OPP
portunities for selfsupport. In very
many of these cases the whole question
of attending the Academy turns upon
the solution of this problem. If any ot
our citizens have need Of such service, il
would be a kindness on their part tc
notify the principal at once.

DIR. Atwater's "Alcohol-food Theory
EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:
The question OF what the school text
books teach the millions of school chill
dren, concerning the nature Of alcohol is
one of local and national Importance
and the issue is too grave to be trlt1ed
with. At various times since the days OF
the chemist Liebig, many claims have
been made that alcohol is food. These
have been met and dropped until they
were revived last June by Professor At
water. He charged that the pulpit, the
Sunday schools, and the public school
physiologies are in error in teaching that
alcohol is poison and not food.
Prof. Atwater charges that the in
dorsed school physiologies are inaccu-
rate in their teaching concerning alcohol
and the proposed motive of those who
are attacking the temperance text books,
is the fear that pupils studying them
will find after leaving school that they
have been taught error and will come to
the sweeping conclusion that just the
opposite of what they have been taught
about everything, is true. If it is true
that alcohol is in any sense food, then
the text books should so teach, but they
should not teach this, until it has been
proved true.
Since January 1, 1900, many leading
medical journals of the United States
have published articles and editorials
haS
proved alcohol to be food and similar
testimony has been given European scien-
lists. The utterances of these scientists
are not sensational, emotional or sem
timental, but are the deliberate statement
of facts, and express in still more posi-
tive language the same truths that are
set forth in the text books.
Most nobly have the physicians res
pended to the call of the hour, and the
following statements have been fearlessly
made:
"Oxidation does not prove alcohol a
food, as oxidation in the body is only
one of several important properties oil a
TODD"
alcohol is too explosive to be fue
food"
TIC NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. anu cOLhS
times-a- poison theory is fallacy."
"The nature OF food is to nourish thu
body without inuring it, the nature o
alcohol is to bind it's victims to its use IL
such a way as to cause untold injury"
Two and one half ounces Of alcohol
(the amount that Prof. Atwater gave tt
his man in the Calorimeter) used daily
for any length of time will make an alco
hol habitue of the most finely endowed
man or woman in the world, and once
e habitue. the strongest man or woman
becomes impotent to escape from tn
tyranny of acohol's power.
. Since Prof. Atwater has not prove
T. his theory, his criticism Of the schoc
e physiologies is unfornded, and his subst
o quent statement that Alcohol is goo
e thing to let alone" is entirely aside tror
u the real question which is this: Doe
truth warrant teaching the children {
{. this country, that alcohol is in any sens
v food From all the evidence that hi
man ingenuity has yet been able to SIN

The second game was played on the
day following and Hazelton was the
pitcher for the home nine instead of
Gokey, the Hardwick twirler. Both
sides played steady game and our boys
showed up finely. Howe got home
run by batting a ball through the fence
and Sam Moore followed with a 3-base
hit that helped on the game. The Berlins
made sharp rally at the close of the
game, but could not overcome the lead
that our boys had secured earlier in the
game. Following is the official score:
