A threshing gang of seven men en-
ployed by George Nichols at Enosburg
Falls were all taken seriously i'll at the
same time last Monday. Their symp-
toms indicated severe poisoning and it
was finally decided that, as the grain
was wet, it had generated gas, which,
being liberated by the rapidly revolving
cylinder of the machine, was inhaled by
the men, producing an effect similar to
that of poisonous fungus or toadstools
or coal gas. The men tainted and a
physician was called. They have now
recovered, though some were i'll nearly

Keep Children Off Streets
BY REV DIR. c. H. PARKHURST.

TTOW many of the fathers and
mothers that read The
Georgian know where their
children are and what they are do
ing in the evening between I and
10 o'clock?
| can tell them where some Of
them are, and also. that unless APP
pearances are altogether deceptive,
they are going to the bad pretty
fast. The devil teaches night school
every evening on the street and in
the little shadowy out-of-the-way
hooks and corners, and the poor
things are slipping away at an easy
but rapid rate from the innocence
and sweetness with which they
were born.
A child is beautiful thing when
it first comes into the world but
like all things that are exauisirelv
constructed it takes very little to
bruise it and to tarnish it, 1t is
easy to drop an inkSpot on a sheet

so much the fault Of the children

takes the hint that he is to let his
breath come out hard.
When he manages to bring out an
"F" that letter is written on a
blackboard and copied by the pupil
writing, reading and understanding
speech all at once.
Other letters are learned one by
one, much in the same way. Vow
els are particularly easy. In let
ters that are specially difficult be-
cause they are too like others, the
child's hand is put to the teach
erS throat, so that he may feel the
difference in the vibrations of the
vocal cords. Then he tries away
himself till his throat vibrates I'M
der his fingers in the same way.
1t is a long and difficult bust
ness, learning to speak by studying
other peoples lips. A few months
will teach a child the pronuncia-
ton Of the alphabet. But years
pass before he has useful number
of words at his command. Those
who are not expert are apt to talk
in a curious, broken, hating sort
of English
Children who are learning lip
reading are for long unable to
understand that other people can
hear what they say without looking
at their mouths Visitors to insti-
tutes for the deaf are often amused
to see children putting their hands
sideways over their mouths, and
making, in the loudest tones. crit
zeal remarks that are only meant
for their nearest neighbors.
"N' and ID" are letters very
easily confused by lip-readers.
Though years of study and prac-
tiCe are needed by the deaf before
they can converse as tluently as the
ordinary man, yet lip reading is in
itself a comparatively simple mat
ter for the man who has all the five
senses.
A few weeks practice will enable
YOU to understand an inaudible
whisper nearly as easily as If it
were shouted aloud
Many detectives have found the
art we'll worth learning, as well as
many criminals. Not long ago a
certain notorious criminal held,
while in the prisoners dock long
conversations with an accomplice
by the mere movement of the lips.

a GOOD picture palace story re-
n Gently appeared in a French
review. At a Paris flicker
show" a film representing surgeon
performing a serious operation was
being exhibited. The surgeon ad-
vanced to the operating table seal
pei in hand, his impassive face grim
and set. The only sign of emotion
was a slight working of the lips.
Suddenly the audience was star
tied by uproarious laughter from
the back half of the hall. 1t did
not cease until the operation was
over.
And then the mystery was eX-
planned The back part of the hall
was filled by a party of children
from an institute for the deaf They
were all adopts in lip-reading, and
to them the working of the sur
geon's lips was not a sign of strong
emotion at all In fact, the actor
who played the surgeons part in
the film had been Cheerfully sing
ing to himself the chorus of an old
popular song. Were going TO
knock a hole in him. hole in him,
a hole in him-we're going to knock
a hole in him! Hurrah. hurrah,
hurrah!"
Teaching deaf and dumb people
to talk and to understand others
talk. by reading the lips. is COM
paratively a new idea, but it is
making rapid strides at the expense
of the old finger talk system.
Formerly, a child born deaf was
doomed to speechlessness all its
life. But there is no reason why
people who are called deaf and
dumb" should be dumb at an.
Babies born deaf COO Just as heart
lily as ordinary babies. Most deaf
children become dumb because they
never hear others speak. Till lip
reading was invented they never
got chance of even learning that
there was such a thing as speech.
F. is usually the first letter the
child is taught to understand and
pronounce The child's attention is
drawn to the position Of the teach
er's lips and teeth in pronouncing
that letter.
Then the back of its hand is held
up near the teachers mouth so
that II may feel the breath coming
out Then the child's hand is held
up to his own mouth Childllke. he

Gals by corporations, and ask that
you show this letter to the mem

I believe the United States is in

such men as Bailey and Foraker
from the lawmaking body.

the Standard Oil, the man whose
letters convict him of using his
money to influence legislation as a
dangerous element in society, one
who has done what he could to de-
stroy the republican government
under which his wealth has been
accumulated.

mittee on your effort TO bring out
the facts. and l urge you to fur

animation and investigation of the

Every Word We Utter Has Influence
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Copyright, 1913, by American Journal Examiner

Words are great forces in the
realm of life;
Be careful of their use. Who
talks of hate,
OF poverty and sickness. but sets
rife
The very elements to mar his
fate.
When love, health, happiness and
plenty hear
Their names repeated over day
by day,
They swing their way like answer
ing fairies near:
Then nestle down within our
homes to stay.
THERE are "a hours in the day.
Eight of these hours are usu-
ally spent in sleep, Two or
three hours in care of the person,
and various duties, duties which
keep us apart from our fellow
men.
That leaves more than half the
day. in which we associate with our
kind.
The conversation we indulge in
during that time has it's influence
upon our own characters and on the
characters of those who share
in it,
Like Pebble Thrown Into Pond.
Every word we utter is like a
pebble thrown into a pond. 1t
makes ripples which never stop I'M
til they reach the opposite shore.
You see the ripples at first, and
perhaps imagine they only affected
the edge OF the pond. But the eff
feet goes on when you can no long
err see them And the whole pond
has been influenced by that little
pebble which disturbed its serenity.
So it is with every word spoken.
1t makes vibration which goes on
and on and affects the whole world.
And, more wonderful still. every
THOUGHT makes a vibration.
The world is just beginning to
know about the marvels of thought.
BY and by the whole philosophy
will be understood, and people will
be more careful of what they think
and what they say.
What is your morning CONVERSE
ton?
Are you telling each member Of
the family. how poorly YOU slept
what Nightmares disturbed you.
how wakeful you were and what
pulse you have?
Are you disturbing the peace and
comfort Of those about YOU with

Can Overcome Inherited Faults.

You may be born with a tendency
to disease through the many wrong
thoughts and habits of ancestors.
But if you fill your soul full of Love
great deep high, broad, profound
Love-and if you live with a prayer
of thankfulness in your heart to
God for Life, and believe health is
your right, and that it will be given
to you, and fashion your whole. con-
duct to suit that thought, IT WILL
BE GIVEN.
It will never come if you harp
on the old strain of Gods will"
when you suffer and persist in hav-
ing an audience for every pain. Not
only viii it never come to you, but
you will destroy the health of those
about you.
You pride yourself on being a
good woman and a heroine where
sickness is concerned. All invalids
do.
But you are not a good woman if
you spoil the beautiful morning
hours by a recital OF your symp-
toms and send out into other minds
microbes of diseased thought.
1t is not that we must never men
tion our indisposition. Rigid rules
in any direction do more harm than
good. a silent martyr usually
makes people uncomfortable with
the eloquence of silence.
If you break your limb say so,
and say it will heal If you break
any law Of health and fall i'll con-
fess it. To deny" it is ridiculous
and creates only ridicule and an
tagonism.

Death of Mrs. Arthur Webb

On last Sat urday afternoon. Mrs.
Arthur Webb passed away at her
home near Trenton, having been
seriously ill only two or three days.
For the past year she has not been

ones were not anxious about her
condition until the few days pre-
ceding her death. Mrs. Webb is
survived by a devoted husband and
three children, Cornelius, Roy and
Albert. the youngest being babe
of nine months of age. The inter-
ment took place at Ebenezer.
Mrs. Webb was a devout Chris
tian woman whose life in her
church and community was force
for all that was good and ennobling.
She took active interest in the Sun
day school and in every department
of the church. Her untimely death
leaves a vacancy that will not be
easily filled, Our sympathy goes
out to the bereaved husband and
little ones.

Death of a Child.

A dark gloom was cast over the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Free!
land Monday August IL, 1918,
when death claimed little Mary
Ellen their youngest daughter, age
4 years. She was a bright little
child and loved by all who knew
her. The sympathy of our commune
ty is extended to Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeland and family in their great
bereavement.
Sad hearts are breaking this brigh
sunny day,
For God called little Ellen and
took her away.
An innocent darling with soul pure
and sweet.
Our dear little child in heaven
we'll meet.
o while you were with us, we loved
you so well,
But now you have left US no more
to dwell.
The birds were all singing their
praises so well,
And with nature were singing a
soft funeral knell,
Though our hearts break with sor'
row, and fast fall the tears,
We would not call you back dear,
you are free from earth's fears.
So goodbye little Ellen with your
burden Of love.
Some day may we greet you id
heaven above.
A Friend.
