Homeopathy is ai,le to check ali
normal conditions due to chilling,
such as occur when cool nights follow
hot days or cool weather follows en-

troubles follow such changes. such as
diarrhoea. influenza, etc. Children es-
pecially are effected by these changes
and the resulting illnesses are often
severe and fatal without homeopathic

Vermont Boys Excel as Amate ur
Farmers

In vi W of the publicity that has been
given to the Corn club work in New
Hampshire recently and to the fine work
of one boy especially, Hoyt Quimby of
Cornish, it may be of interest to some
at least to know that two boys who
have been members of Windsor County
Corn club, for three years have made
equally good showings and will be sent
to Washington in March or April, as a
result of their success.
These boys are Edward Blomquist,
of Chester, VT, IS years of age and j.
Wade Webster of Hartland, VT, a 16
year old High school boy and the boy
who won the best prizes at the 1912
State Corn show and followed it up by
winning the sweepstakes for the best
single ear of corn grown by a boy in
Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont
'uring that year. At the 1913 Corn
Show held at Windsor, he won Governor
Fletcher's cup, the grand 10 ear sweep
stakes prize for the best 10 ears of corn
exhibited at the State show.
The Webster boy grew one-quarter
acre, which yielded nearly 20 bushels of
shelled corn and made clean profit of
$3.50, after deducting the cost of plow-
ing, hoeing, planting, cultivation, cost
of time, rental of one-quarter acre OF
land, commercial fertilizer, barn-yard
manure and seed to plant the quarter
acre. At this rate he would cleal on
an acre nearly $40.
The Blomquist boy raised q bushels
of shelled corn on a quarter acre, max
ing net profit figured on the same
basis of $l5.25, but did not have as
fine type of corn as the Webster boy
nor as carefully kept records; there
fore he was rated for his seasons work
only few points above the Webster
boy.
Chester Pratt, of Windsor, another
member of the Corn club, won reg
istered bull and heifer, both valued at
500 each, for exhibiting the finest
quantity of corn grown by him during
the season of 1918.
Other boys making a good showing
were John Ammel of Pompanoosuc and
Maurice Bicknell of Norwich.

of course, is Thomas A. Edison who is
briefly described as follows:
Thomas Edison is one of the greatest
inventive mechanical geniuses who ever
lived. His life story is outwardly I'M
eventful. He was born in Ohio in 1847,
and at twelve became train boy; he
took advantage of an empty express
room in car and printed little news
paper called "The Grand Trunk Herald, ,
and also carriedfon chemical and cleo
trical experiments there. These came
to an end when he set fire to the car
accidentally, and was dismissed by the
angry conductor.
He learned telegraphy and practiced
it in several cities, coming after time
to New York. There he invented a
printing telegraph machine, known as
the ticker, to record stock quotations.
This brought him in forty thousand
dollars and enabled him to set up his
famous laboratory in New Jersey.
"His first really great invention was
the quadruplex telegraph, which makes
it possible to send four messages over
one wire at the same time. Next came
the carbon transmitter. Edson's third
great work was the discovery of the
carbon filament for the incandescent
light, and his next the photograph,
which has developed into extended and
various use. His work on the cine
matograph has brought moving pic
lures into conspicuous place not only
for amusement but for education.

II is often asked who really inspires
the kings attitude upon current Ques-
lions Of the day and, more particular
ly, who writes his speeches?
The king takes, it is possible to
state, the closest interest in every lead
Ing question Of the day, and, while he
must of necessity take the advice of
his responsible ministers, he has views
of his own that he does not hesitate
to pronounce whenever the occasion
calls for it, while his speeches he
"roughs OUT entirely by himself.
This draft of what his majesty de-
sires to say is then passed on to the
officials of the private secretaries of
fee, who prepare the speech in set
form and submit 1t to his majesty in
formal language. This he goes through
most carefully, and it often takes two
or three rewritings before the king is
thoroughly satisfied with it.
1t may be said at once, however, that
no words uttered by the king are ap-
proved until they have passed his most
careful scrutiny. 1t is likewise posi-
