The Mexican question is more or less
obscured by the European war But it
needs to be borne in mind that this ques-
ton is imperatively due for settlement be-
fore the close of that big conflict over
seas. The nations of Europe are at pres
ent too busy with their own affairs to
bother about Mexico-unless it be Ger
many, whose government appears to have
been trying to foment trouble there But
when the big war is over, the United
States will be expected to have Mexican
affairs in such shape that the lives and
property of foreigners may be safe in that
country. This government has assumed
the duty of guardian of the peace on this
continent. That is the only possible in
depreciation of the Monroe doctrine,
which is still accepted as guiding princi-
iple in the foreign policy of the United
States. If we are unwilling to allow Euro
ipean powers to interfere in Mexico, we
must do the interfering ourselves. To dc
something, even the wrong thing, may be
better than to wait too long without ac
ton.

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brlghterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy mer and women.
If your Children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not patent medicine"
simply a highly concentrated oil-food,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. II
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

THE BOHEMIAN GIRL
STRONG ATTRACTION
Delightful Rendition in Auditorium of
Balfe's Old English Grand
Opera Masterpiece.

A performance of Balfe's old English
grand opera masterpiece, The bohemian
Girl, was given in the auditorium last
evening by the Aborn Opera company
which was brilliant and eminently salts
factory. The revival of this old standard
opera has been given a striking scenic IN
vestiture, and numerous incidentals have
been added which scarcely would be
styled opera but which nevertheless are
abundantly pleasing. The audience was OF
fair size and was enthusiastic.
1t IS but rarely that such a thoroughly
competent musical organization is heard
here, and while the singing was perhaps
a shade better than the acting, no fault
was to be found with either. Miss Edith
Allan sang the role of Airline, the Bohe-
mian girl, and was extremely wlnsOme.
Her soprano voice, not powerful but re
markedly sweet and pure, made lasting
| impression in her number in the second
act, | Dreamt [ Dwelt in Marble Halls.
! George w. Dunstan, who was cast in
the role of Count Arnheim, later Cover
nor of Presburg, brought into play a bari
tone voice of a rarely delightful quality,
which he used with excellent judgment.
His rendition of The Heart Bowed Down
was the vocal gem of the performance
Henry Taylor as Thaddeus, the prescribed
Polish nobleman, charmed all with his ten
or voice of exceptional timbre and his ease
of execution.
As the Gypsy queen Miss Mildred Rog
ers sang dramatically and effectively, re
Ivealing a rich and resonant contraltc
ivoice. Francis Tyler, as Devilshoof, chief
Iof the Gypsies, gave full sway to a bass
voice of remarkable depth and power, fully
lsuited to the character which he so vel
nj
of the cast of less prominence carried then
parts creditably and the chorus sang will
zest and in good time
. The Tzigani whirlwind acrobats, a grouI
of Arabians, were indeed a whirlwind, exc
cutting some feats that kept the audienc,
in a continuous round of laundering ap
; plause. Three horses, hens, squealing pig
monkey, etc, furnished ample and inter
esting variety.

SHERIFF FINDS CHILD.
Brings Hyman Boy to Mother, Who
Sues Father for Divorce

MONTPELIER, Oct. H. - Deputy
Sheriff c. \. Smith, playing the role
of a detective and given the pow
er of an attorney by Mrs. Ida Hyman,
located five-year old Nathaniel Hyman,
her son, in Tunbridge late Monday
night and brought the little lad to his
mother early Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Hyman is suing Jacob Lyman
for a divorce and pending the trial in
county court Judge Waterman some
time ago signed an injunction restrain
ing the father from interfering with
Mrs. Hyman or her two children. Fri
day morning the boy went to school and
failed to return at the customary hour
with the result that Mrs. Hyman be
came alarmed. She suspected that her
husband had something to do with the
disappearance and notified her attor-
ney, who turned the matter over to
Deputy Smith The latter gave the
matter his undivided attention Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday, and was re
warded for his diligence Monday after
noon by locating a clew. He departed
in the direction of Tunbridge and met
Mr.. Hyman on the way.
! He eventually learned that the FIVE
! year-old child was with a family in
Tunbridge, where he was taken by the
father. Deputy Smith motored to Tun
bridge, found the little lad and returned
early the next morning.

The Boy Scout Movement.
(Rutland News. }

There should be in every village and
every neighborhood of town life, some
man generous enough to give his time to
the leadership of boys. The form of or
ganization makes no great difference. The
secret of success is finding out what the
boys like and giving them healthful sport
along the lines for which they have a nat
ural craving. The Boy Scout path to the
boys heart is probably today more direct
than any yet discovered. The boys will
take in ideas around camp fire in the
woods that could never be impaired to
them in a Sunday school class, with the
teacher looking GROSSLY at their wiggling
hands and feet

TOO MUCH BRITISH TALK.

One difference between the TeutOnic
conduct of the war and that of the allies
has been evident during the past year.
The Teutons keep all their main business
and do not tell beforehand what impor-
tant things they are going to do. After
the things are done, too, there is not so
much dwelling upon their Importance and
explanation of how this or that might or
might not have been They tackle the
next job and keep at it.
On the other hand on the part of the
allies, especially the British, there is a
large volume of the English language tele-
graphed over here which is neither news
nor important matter for our understand
ing of the events Just now, in view of
the failure of the allies to prevent the
military union of Bulgaria with the leu
tons, there is an outbreak of talk in the
British papers against the kind of diplo-
macy which is in control and Earl Grey
is being attacked with acerbity. In such a
time as this, when the very existence of
England is threatened, the leading papers
and the leading men who influence public
opinion ought to be more patriotic and to
have better Judgment than to weaken con
fidence in their government and tend to
provoke the feeling that the lives of thou
sands and the property of the taxpayers
have been spent in vain through sheer
laundering. Such course tends to make
the situation distinctly worse. 1t will dis
courage enlistments 1t will dishearter
the troops in the field. 1t will encourage
the critics and the enemy at home, o
whom some individuals are doubtless left
1t will make the Teutonic allies believ,
that they have only to hold on and Britain
will become entirely discouraged and al
easy prey. In such an extremity as this i
! IS patriotism to stop criticising and to fl
up the ranks and press forward

The Polite French Lads.

(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)
The editor was favOrably impressed
recently by the courtesy of the French
school boys of the Province of Quebec.
AS related elsewhere he found himself
alone one day in the street of q small
French village, dirty and generally dis
hevelled as the result of automobile
trouble. 1t was at the time that the
boys of the village were returning
home from school and every group of
boys he met respectfully raised their
hats to the stranger. We could not
help thinking of the guying we proba-
bly, should have got had we appeared
in such an undignifed condition among
a group of Yankee school boys, and
felt very keen respect for the young
French lads.

For an American citizen to vote as

Twenty doctors of West Chester, Pa,

Alcohol is a poison, and as such, its
sale as a beverage should be prohib-

will produce definite changes in the
structure and function Of the brain and
the nerves, similar in character to the
changes produced by other poisons. 1t
Is the direct cause Of serious or fatal
physical diseases, and by lowering the
resistance it predisposes to infections,
notably tuberculosis and pneumonia.
by many authorities alcohol In the

the production Of idiotic and imbecile
children, and it also acts as a strong
factor in increasing the death rate and
decreasing the birth rate.
