In 1911 there was held in New York
a "Chid Welfare Exhibition" 1t was
one of the most thrilling exhibitions
ever held in any part of the world. At
the front gate of the exhibition grounds
there was a statue of Louis Potter, and
there were four figures in it. And these
four figures taken together have done
more to stir up the country than a
thousand sermons. In that group there
was a woman, having on her back a
heavy burden, and she was bending for
ward under the pressure of it. Next to
her was a man of about the same age,
who had on his shoulders great pack,
much larger than the pack on her
shoulders, and he was bent forward I'M
der his load Next to him was an old
man with long white hair, and his
knees were greatly bent, and he was
almost in the act of falling under a
pack that rested upon his shoulders.
And then, in the half. circle which they
made, and just bit in front of them,
there was little boy, two-thirds naked,
with pnched face, hollow eyes, shrunk-
en- shoulders, narrow chest; sad look,
indicating that he was half-starved for
food and more than half starved for
pure air and healthy, wholesome exer-
else He had no pack on his shoulders.
He carried his pack in his body. He was
the child of this man and this woman,
who had all that they could carry. In
that statue there was the world repre-
sented TIE world of need; the need of
the father, the head of the family, with
all that he could carry; the need of the
mother and the wife of the home with
all that she could carry; the need of the
aged, trembling under their load, with
all that they could carry; and the need
of the child, more than it could carry;
and no hand outstretched to help any of
them. The Christian Herald.

Vermont has done its level best to de-
stroy one ofits greatest magnets to draw
tourists by too-long open season for
killing deer during the past few years
1t is only hoped that the next Legisla-
ture will correct the wrong. A deer
roaming the hillsides is worth ten-fold
what it is worth in any market as veni-
son. Summer boarders will be at
tracted to Vermont in great numbers if
they are practically sure of seeing a
deer or a group of them in their travels.
The State should pay for every bona
fide case of damaTe to crops done by
deer, and it could well afford to do this
in preserving enc of it's real assets. -

TOO MANY CHILDREN
are under-size, under-tOeight


with pinched faces and poor blood; they
do not complain but appetite lags, they

Such children need the rich medicinal

everything else; its pure cod liver oil con-
tains natures own blood forming, flesh
building fats which quickly show in rosy
checks, better appetite, firm flesh and
sturdy frames.
If your children are languid, tired

their studies difficult, give them Scott s

death to him and his followers. Villa
never burdens himself with prisoners, and
he was particularly bitter toward Orozco
