EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

A nation wide movement exists to
develop the highest possible type of
American citizenship. The bulwarks
of every government are founded on the
culture, health, morals and efficiency of
its men and women. This republic has
surmounted the heights of the world 8
civilization and the effort now being
made contemplates that it shall for all
time stand at the very crest of human
endeavor. The foundation must be laid
in the impressionable years of the girls
and boys who IN the future will shape
and form the destiny of our Union of
States. The National Congress of
Mothers recommends that official recog-
milton be made to this most important
subject and that a "Child's Welfare
Day. be designated by the Governor of
every State. February, the 18th in
slant, is the date commonly appointed.
Conforming to this suggestion, / do
hereby request that every father and
mother in the Green Mountain State
devote some part of that day to the
conservation of child welfare. A form
of conservation which precedes in i'm
portance all others. Let loving he arts
respond and methods be adopted to pro-
mote this significant object This
should be our sincere and earnest wish.

In this respect the dairyman with nom
descript or low testing cattle can never
hope to compete with the neighbor
who has high grade or pure bred Jerseys.
Milk in its natural state goes into the
homes of the rich and poor alike, no
corner of the world where dairy products
have not penetrated, no nook of the
universe where their worth is not ap-
preciated.
In all climes and countries the worth
and need of milk have been appreciated
and acknowledged as a necessity of
man.
The great consuming public is just on
the verge of a great awakening in re-
gard to the true value of milk as a
food. L. c. L.

Sermons on the prevention of con-

of churches on April 10Th, which the
National Association tor the Study and

Last year out of 200,000 churches in

tuberculosis Day, and millions of
churchgoers were told about this dis
ease from the pulpit. This year will be
the third observation of tuberculosis
Day. Plans are being made to have the
gospel of health preached more widely
than ever before.

Vermont sportsmen will be greatly
interested in the Massachusetts exper-
iment at raising wild turkeys to stock
some of the covers of that state. If
they will live and thrive in Massachu-
SETS they will in Vermont, at least in
the southern part of the state. AS a
matter of fact, wild turkeys were
plentiful in this part of Vermont when
the settlers first came here and even up
to 1910, occasional birds were killed.
Vermont has thousands of acres of
forest cover along the Green Mountain
and Taconic ranges, and it would be
worth trying to stock with wild turkeys.
They are very shy and timid birds and
would not trouble crops on cultivated
land to any serious extent, while as ex-
terminators of grasshoppers and other
insects, they would prove valuable
asset for the farming interests. Ben

Valuable Find of Manuscript.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery of illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging as
far back as 1880, has Just been made
in the library at OXton Hall, says the
Nottingham tEng) Guardian.
1t came about in this way: The
vicar of the parish, Rev. W. Laycock,
obtained permission to go through the
books in the library at his leisure.
While so doing his curiosity was
aroused by locked and forgotten
cupboard therein. which he proceeded
to investigate. Its contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
which confirmed the impression con-
veyed by the antiquity of their ap-
pearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage of the art of print
ing, which was introduced into this
country in 1S47.
The majority of them are folio vol
umes, and with one exception they are
all in their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planed boards of
solid oak, and the books are bound
with stout leather laces, the backing
and lining being fragments of illum-
mated manuscripts of much earlier
date, cut up as waste with a ruthless
Indifference.

DANGEROUS COLOR is BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above the Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering of
Their Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon, don't buy blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches of NJ Reynaud, caoutchouc is
strongly attracted by the ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with a quartz tube, which is power
full source of such rays. This fact
has practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis
covery that the envelopes suffer dur
ing ascensions, and this is explained
by the greater effect of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color
ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. M. Reynaud con-
siders that red is the best color to
use, as 1t not only absorbs the ultra
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to share in the
bad action of the suns rays upon bal
looms.

Parchment From Human skin.

1t was a tradition of the horror
stricken Scriptures of "Old Gaul' that
the Able Rivas, attracted by the ex.
treme tenuity and smoothness of the
leaves of Bible of the thirteenth
century, became convinced that the
satiny skin of beautiful woman had
furnished the parchment maker with
raw material for his unrivaled product.
In another instance, one Gayer de
Sansale, famous bibliothecaire of the
College of the Sorbonne. at Paris, de-
clared that some one had dressed and
finished human skin to make the
parchment used for certain Decretals.
