ttGod may forgive and man may forget
but the nerve cells will do neither
The woman who has overtaxed heI
strength in her holiday preparations
must now pay the price, and IL she
doesn't have care the price viii be
high.
Nature is an Inexorable task-mistress
She exacts the consequences Of our
neglect of our physical well-being as
surely as the sun rises and sets. In
spite of the price she demands she Is
none the less a friend, ready to meet
us half way when we show the slightest
inclination to awaken TO a degree OF
common sense that points the way to
our assisting her in her work Of recon
struction.
And who does not need to be recon-
structed after the Christmas holidays?
Who does not feel all tired out from
the expenditure Of so much vitality in
making ready for the glad times.
For a month ahead of Christmas
homemakers. wives, and mothers strain
every nerve to get as much done as pos
sible and when the week of merry-mak-
ing arrives they are still keyed up to
high pitch, and are physically in no con-
dition to feast and revel.
Same with Children.
1t is the same with little children.
They, too, are tuned up TO high nervous
tension for weeks a head Of the great
celebration, and when the holiday week
arrives they eat a great deal too much
OF food that is TOO rich for them even
were they thoroughly fit, which they are
not.
The aftermath of Christmas has al
ready set in, for I have met few women
who have not declared themselves utterly
worn out. and every mother / have seen
has voiced to me a wish that school was
open again TO the little ones in the
home that their mothers might get
chance for a little quiet.
what of the children" l asked one
mother who told me she would be glad
when Tuesday arrives on account of the
reopening of school on that day.
You see know her children-not too
radiant with good health under the most
normal conditions, just now depleted in
and too heavy eating.
Make Life Simple for Them.
During these three days of vacation
that remain to our children every mother
will do we'll to make life as simple and
normal for them as possible. Early bed
times; plenty Of fresh air in the sleeping
rooms will be a tremendous help in
restoring their lost vitality, and fitting
them to begin school work again next
week.

TWO KILLED BY MOTOR.
Children Were Walking in Charles
River Road.

Harry Rouff, 13 years old, and his
brother, John, aged 6, of 81 Kenwood
street, Cambridge, were instantly killed
Wednesday afternoon at $50 o'clock on
Charles River road, near the Shoe and
Leather Exposition building in that
city, by light automobile truck oper-
ated by George Chabot, 81 years old, of
LOG Moreland street, Somerville.
Chabot is locked up at Station 2, Cen
trail square, Cambridge, on the charge
of manslaughter.
The two children were in the roadway
pushing a small handcart filled with
wood. They had gone to meet their
father, John o. Rouff, who is employed
at Page & Shaw's plant along the es-
plenade as has been their daily custom.
With him, they started for home, all
three beside the hand cart, with its load
of wood gathered at the factory.
When about 200 feet from Massachu-
sets avenue the father stepped to the
sidewalk to speak to fellow workman,
John A. Clark of so Sargent street,
Roxbury. He had hardly left the road
way when the auto truck came along
the street having turned from the ave-
nue. and on its way to the Shoe and
Leather Building.
The truck struck the light handcart
and the younger of the two children
was crushed beneath the front wheels.
Harry was hurled one side. Chabot
stopped his machine but too late. He
picked up both lifeless forms, with the
help of the panic-stricken father, who
heard his children's faint cry, and hur-
ried them to the Cambridge Relief hos
pital, but they died on the way.
The police were notified and hurried
to the scene, but found no traces of an
accident, the roadway being dark and
few electric lights burning on the park
way.
DR.. William D. Swan. Medical Exam
iner, viewed the bodies at the hospital
and gave fractured skull and severed
windpipe as the cause of death in the
case of the older child. The younger
lads skull was badly crushed.

Noble Burnham, husband of the author,
is a medallion showing in relief the
figures of young woman and horse.
Mrs. Burnham is the daughter of
George Houston Waring, of Savannah.
Ca, the first man to introduce the Nor
gan horse into the State of Georgia.
1t is related that Mr.. Warning, while
attending the Inauguration of President
Buchanan, saw Nathaniel P. Banks of
Massachusetts riding the Morgan horse
Enterprise. He was so impressed by
the beauty and fire of the animal that
he purchased him and took him to his
home at Annandale, Ga. Here the An
Mandate stock farm was established and
other Morgan horses, including Paragon,
Black Hawk, Give, Bay and Comet
were secured from Vermont and New
Hampshire.
The book tells of the origin of the
famous strain and relates the tales of
speed and strength which are told of
Justin Morgan. At one time he was
owned by Jonathan Shepard, a Mont
pelier blacksmith and innkeeper. La
ter he was sold to Col. John Goss.
Another member of the Goss family
owned the Montpelier Waterman and
according to the author of the book the
paper frequently prined notices of the
endurance and beauty of the Goss
horses.
According to the writer, this famous
horse carried revenue officer to aid in
arresting smugglers in what was known
as the Black Snake episode at the mouth
of the Winooski river. He carried Jonas
Galusha in the inaugural parade when
that worthy became governor of YER
mont He carried David Goss to Bur-
lington to attend the launching of the
first steamer Vermont. He was ridden
to the battle of Pittsburgh by his
owner, Capt. Durlaney and when Presi-
dent Monroe visited Burlington he rode
the famous old horse.
The book will tend to aid in the at
tempt to revive the Morgan breed and
bring it back to its old time vigor and
excellence. There is not dull page in
it. 1t is good book for Vermonters to
read, and the local illusions to Mont
pelier add to its value in this city. 49,
