PALE SCHOOL CHILDREN

This is the time OF the year that school
children grow pale. Confined indoors,
for many hours day, studying at night,
perhaps, deprived OF much out-of-door
exercise, their blood grows thin. Com
pare your childs complexion with what
it was last summer. Probably you have
not realized how thin the blood was get
ting because the change was so gradual.
When child formerly bright and
active loses color and finds play an eff
fort, but prefers to sit still and read,
there is every reason to suspect that the
blood is getting thin, that the child is
anemic. Sometimes there is headache
and nosebleed. These confirm the sus-
picion. 1t is condition that is full of
danger, for thin blood is an open door to
many diseases, especially during change
full weather But it is condition that is
easily remedied if taken in time. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills can be obtained at
any drug store. A fifty-cent box con-
tains about two weeks treatment and
these pills are great blood-builder and
invigorator. They are just the sort of
non-alcoholic tonic that many children
need.
Write today to the DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y for the free
book Building Up the Blood" and learn
all about the treatment. A diet book
will also be sent free on request.

am opposed to the bill and among the reasons of
my opposition the following:
Sobrety, religion or right living cannot be accom-
plshed by legislation but only by education. To my
mind among the greatest incentives 10 education along
the lines of temperance the annual meeting dis
cussion and vote upon temperance ! believe the
record shows this to have been of vital Importance
to the state of Vermont along the lines of temperance
during the past twelve years. The Perry bill re-
moves this educational incentive.
No law can be enforced that does not have the
support of a majority of the people. law which
has been in force for series of years, which the
people have no voice in changing is viewed by the
people in such way that they all of the evils
resulting from the law and a few of the benefits.
Experience has taught the people of Vermont that
prohibition after it has been in force for short time
becomes odous to the people. Not having the sup
port of the people successful prosecution and convc
ton of violation becomes mpossibity.
The Perry ibl' provides legal way for procur-
ing alcohol alcoholic stimulants for any legitimate
purpose.
The Perry bll7 provides legal way for procur
not economically sound Under II years of local OPP
tion farm property in the state of Vermont has
increased 80 per cent. greater increase than under
80 years of state prohibition.
During II years of local option the deposits of the
common people in the savings bank institutions have
increased more than 30 per cent.
The Perry bill or statewide prohibition win in
crease the sale of alcoholic beverages carrying a high
percentage of alcohol At the end of AS years of
prohibition in the state of Vermont, there sos
federal licenses granted within the state of Vermont
for the sale of intoxicating liquor After II years of
local option the federal licenses in the state OF Yer
mont had decreased to 2S6.
do not believe that the people of the state of Vermont
wish to force upon law the result of which viii be
to increase the places where intoxicating liquor is
openly sold by than 800 per cent.
The Perry bill" if passed, restores the right of
appeal from municipal courts to the county court
in all liquor cases. thus adding further delay and
expense to all prosecution arising Hereunder
The foregoing only few of the many
why / believe the Perry bll' Is a step backward
and not advancing along the lines Of temperance.
