This year, however, we find nearly
all the head coaches of the regular

Bratt1eboro Friend - Soldiers Worse

Miss Mabel AIilham, who used to visit
here when a student in Smith college.
For the past nine years she has been
engaged in missionary work in China,
where her husband, DIR. Charles X
Roys, is in charge Of the PRESBYTERIAN
hospital at Weihsien, only short dis

suppress the brigands, it was found
that the cure was worse than the
