PHYSICIAN TALKS ON
INFANT MORTALITY
Dr Derven of Poultney Addresses
Small Audience in High School
Room-Pure Milk Important.

Only few mothers and a fewer
number of school teachers, augmented
by three fathers, heard DIR. John i
Derven of Poultney speak in the main
room OF the high school building yes
terday afternoon on The Control of
Infant Mortality. The speaker was in
trodueed by Rev. Delmar E. Trout
president of the Brattleboro Civic
league. Before the talk, children Of
the fourth grade sang several choruses
under the direction of Miss Lucy A
Proctor, supervisor of music.
Dr. Derven used charts to illustrate
the heavy mortality in children under
one year of age and talked on the
Child Welfare work as the best means
OF reducing the percentage of mortal
lty. The fundamental, causes of this
heavy mortality are poverty, ignorance
or neglect. He considered visiting
nurses the best solution of the nrob
lem or lnstructing mothers in the care
of their children.
As the supply of pure milk is a great
essential in the proper feeding of
oaoles who are not nursing babies he
suggested that the aid of county agri-
cultural agents might be enlisted in
the work of furnishing the authorities
with list of sanitary dairies. which
would have the effect, not only of hav-
ing only the purest milk bought for
the use OF babies, but of squirting the
farmer whose product was not mn tn
standard to improve the standard of
his milk product.

WOOLWORTHS MAY
OCCUPY STORE
Belief That They Are Back of Sale of
o. j. Pratt Property-George S.
Pratt to Vacate by July 1.

george ;. Pratt, proprietor of the O. J.
Pratt dry goods store, who sold yesterday
the tour-story stone block in which his
store is located to Earle p. Charlton OF
Fall River, Mass, says that he plans to
retire from business in July
The entire building was sold tenant free.
but Mr.. Pratt said this morning that he
did not expect that any of the tenants
except himself would be disturbed. He
has been asked to vacate his store July
When asked if the sale meant that the
Woolworth chain. of 5-cent and 1o-cent
stores had acquired the property and
would establish store where the Pratt
dry goods store now is, he replied that he
did not sell it to that concern, but that
they might be the ultimate owners.
The belief is general that this concern
has at last acquired property in town. 1t
has been common knowledge that the
Woolworth people have tried repeatedly
to lease on satisfactory terms a large store
or to buy business property on Main
street. Several different men have en-
deavored to conduct negotiations for the
Wooiworth concern, but the prices asked
were always considered too high by the
intending purchaser
The sale of this building removes from
the Pratt family a piece of valuable prop
erty that has been owned by them about
60 years, and during practically all of
that time .. j. Pratt conducted store in
the building until his death last year.

With the exception of small amount.
the contracts were offered to the Me-

Officials of both companies said that
there was little likelihood of the steel
being secured here. Practically every

come, and little future business is being
accepted at the present range of prices.

persons, is given by the correspondent

The catastrophe occurred at AIS

TROOPS ORDERED
ACROSS BORDER
President Gives Them Instructions to Capture or
Kill the Villa Bandits Who Yesterday Raided
Columbus, ~ M.-Not Armed Intervention in
Mexican Affairs at Present

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-President
Wilson today ordered American troops
over the Mexican border to capture or kill
the Villa bandits who yesterday raided
Columbus, New Mexico
Major General Scott, chief of staff of
the army, announced that the expedition
would consist OF not less than 5000 men
under Major General Funston.
In its present stage the Presidents or
der does not mean armed Intervention in
Mexico.
1t provides for a punitive expedition to
deal with lawless forces over which the
Carranza government has no control.
The following statement was issued at
the White House: An adequate force
will be sent at once in pursuit of Villa
with the single object of capturing him
and putting stop to his forays This can
be done and will be done in entirely friend
u aid Of the constituted authorities in
Mexico and with scrupulous respect for
the sovereignty Of that republic
1t was said at the White House that the
American government wants Villa dead or
alive and that no steps will be neglected
10 carry out that object.
1t was declared that the United States
will not consider the punitive expedition
an invasion Of Mexico and will continue to
deal with the Carranza government.
The American government is still op-
posed to armed Intervention in Mexico,
but has decided that the peace Of both
Mexico and the United States is imperiled
by the continued activities of Francisco
Villa
The cabinet was unanimous in deciding
that Villa must be caught
Gen. Scott said today that the necessity
Of providing even stronger force for the
border than it now has while the Aneri-
can troops are operating in Mexico would
necessitate using some troops not now
there for the punitive expedition. They
probably will be ordered from other posts.
No plans have been made so far as is
known for use of the national guard
