WHEN YOUR COLOR FADES

When a girls color fades, when her
cheeks and lips grow pale and she gets
short of breath easily and her heart
palpitates after slight exertion or I'M
der the least excitement it means that
she is suffering from thin blood.
Headache and backache often ac-
company this condition and nervous
ness is frequently present.
The remedy, of course, is to build
up the blood and for this purpose DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are recommended.
They are the remedy best suited to re-
store the blood, bring brightness to
the eyes and put color in the cheeks
and lips.
The only other treatment needed
costs nothing. 1t is this. Give the
patient plenty of sunlight, moderate
exercise every day, not enough to
cause fatigue, and use care in the diet
because the food craved is often not
the best for the condition.

BIG WAR WORK
FOR RED CROSS
Commission Ready to Spend
$114,0O0,OO0
Fund
HAS HEADQUARTERS
IN PARIS
Plans to Cooperate With
Other American Or
CARNATIONS

Paris, June 29.-The American Re,
Cross in France is ready to spend tina
l$ll4,000,000 which American generosit,
has just contributed-an spend it al
efficiently as any big business corpora
ton. For more than two weeks now tn,
American Red Cross commission has beer
planning the vast work ahead of it. Tn
der the direction of Major G. NJ. P. Muir
ply, vice president of the Guaranty Trust
company of New York, former army
officer and graduate of West Point, it has
been thoroughly over the ground.
t. H. Kenny of the commission, vice
| president of the Federal Accounting com.
pany of New York, has studied the ac.
counting of the huge sums which the Red
Cross will handle. C. j. Osborne of Chi
cago, an expert on transportation, has
made his part of the work ready. So
has Ernest Mccullough of Boston, not
ed engineer and authority on sanitation
systems; so has Ernest r. Bicknell
whose former experience in rebuilding
shattered earthquake cities win go far in
the work of rebuilding northern France.
The Red Cross is here to organize and
co. operate; not to dictate and bully the
splendid organizations which have been
doing such great work in France before
America entered the war. Major Murphy
explained to-day: "0ur principal aims
are:
"First-To work in conjunction with
the army medical corps in caring for the
American troops behind the lines. The
army itself will pick up its wounded on
the firing lines and take them to army
operated base hospitals. Here is where
Red Cross work and vigor will commence.
"Second-Aid in continuing and ex-
tending relief work is already under way
in France. This means with our experts
and our money and experience we will
give help to all organizations now en-
gagged in this work, not absorbing, but
cooperating with them.
"Third-Give effective assistance to ci.
william relief work in France, co-operat-
ing with the French government and fol-
lowing its suggestions to the limit of our
means and ability. Our spirit in enter
ing this work is that we owe so much to
France that we can only hope to pay
back very small part of the debt"
Major Murphy explained that experts
not only in Red Cross work but in bust
ness methods had already carefully
mapped out handling of funds and of
so that the American public
may be certain every cent contributed
will be utilized to the very best adyan-
tage. Second in command of the head
quarters here is James II. Perkins, vice
president Of the National City Bank OF
New York. A number of other men high
in American business and financial |
worlds are aiding

order, the cross-examination by the at-
torney general and Mr.. Sherburne, the
states attorney, seemed to skip from
one period TO another without sequence,
procedure which had the effect of keep
ing the accused constantly on her mettlc
in order to answer intelligently.
Denied Plan to Elope with Williams.
In the early afternoon, when exam
ined by Attorney Hoar, the witness de-
MED having planned to go away with
Otis Williams and said that the letter
addressed to Mr.. Weeks at Meredith for
Williams urging the farmland to return
to work was written by her at the in
stance of her husband. She testified that
she opposed the return of Otis to the
farm and as the examination continued
the woman told of plans jointly made by
her husband in which they were to make
additional improvements to the house,
take summer boarders and build garage.
Witness said she promised Josie Pero
gold watch if she would stand by her
and added that she merely wanted her
to tell the truth. Again, before the d.
rect questioning ceased, the witness de-
MED having had anything to do with
the shooting.
Early in the cross examination, the
witness admitted that proposed altera-
tions to the Felch house were practically
at the time of her husband's
death. Continuing, she told of working
for Joseph Felch before their marriage,
that the farmer had other help with him,
and that she stayed in his house two
or three nights while working there. Aft
er the marriage, she said, and not long
before Felch died, he was busy with
operations, which kept him
away from home for considerable peri
DDS. Before the prosecution had taken
another tack, the witness had admitted

Select a small tree, about six or seven

Campers and Coking.

| To be good camper you must be a
good cook. You can tell the greenhorn
at camping five minutes after he has
begun to cook, and you can tell the ex-
perienced camper the moment he be-
gins to prepare meal, there is such
great difference in their methods.
But the greatest difference is in the
results. Without experience, the camp
cook will serve up oyerdone or under
done foods, soggy or cinderlike potatoes,
ashes in your coffee, sticks in your chow
der and almost everything else as it
should not be served. Worst of all, you
will not get a good variety. The camper
who understands the gentle art of cook
ing out of doors will serve meals that
will cling to your memory for all time.
A little study and thought, and just a
bit of advice at the start, will enable
you to become an expert at cooking for
the camp. And inasmuch as campers ac-
quire such wonderful appetites that they
Give to eat" this is all important. Z,
Your fire is of first Importance. New
err cook in the flames, because flames
will cover broiled foods with SCOT and
do not have sufficient heat thoroughly
to cook fish, for instance, clear through
without burning the outside to cinder.
Always use hard wood for the fire, and
cook over deep bed Of Goals. This
means cleanliness, quick and thorough
cooking, absence of smoke in the eyes,
and of sparks, cinders and SCOT in the
food.
There are so many canned things to-
day of the best quality that the campers
table was never better provided for. Sub
stitutes for lard and other cooking fats
and for shortening now come in tins,
and are easily handled and preserved.
Instead OF the thick sweet condensed
milk which so many people dislike,
we have the evaporated milk, as thick
as cream, as good as cream, and better
still. it can be diluted and used in chow
ders and other foods just the same as
milk. We can take vegetables, beans,

inexpensive Fireless Cookers.

The Irish World gives directions for
making a freless cooker which will cost
| but few cents and which is just as
satisfactory as one bought at a store
| The directions are as follows:
Get box-any old box will do, SC
long as it is large enough for the pot
it is to hold, with plenty of space all
around it. A roughly cubical or round
box is best. This may be of wood or
cardboard, though, of course, the strong
! er the material the more durable it will
be. The box must have a cover or lid,
which can be attached with hinges, Ell
Their of metal or of leather or cloth,
and fastened down with hasp or loop
of leather fitting over the nail.
"In the bottom of the box pack tight
" sawdust, ashes, straw, paper or old
rags to a depth of about three inches.
Now take the pot, which may be of
earthenware, metal or enamel with a COW
err, but without handle, and place it
upon piece of flannel cloth, felt or 9TH
er conducting MATERIAL piece of
an old wooden skirt, down quilt or a
felt table cover will serve as well as
anything. Draw the stuff up around the
sides and fold its corners. and edges
down inside the pot. To hold them thus
put on the lid.
The pot is now ready to be placed in
the box, just in the middle, on top of
the layer of stuffing in the bottom. All
around the pot pack more stuffing of
the same kind, pressing it down tightly
and leaving no air spaces, until an inch
or so above the rim of the pot, and then
making it slope upward toward the edges
of the box, so as to leave a funnel-like
opening down TO the pot. Remove the
lid from the pot and turn back the edges
and corners of the cloth from inside it
to cover the stuffing and hang over the
edges of the box. Without removing
the pot, tack down the cloth all around
with nails that will not split the wood.
''Then, and only then, take out the
pot. You will find that this has left
a hole into which it fits exactly, lined
with the cloth or flannel as perfectly as
an upholsterer could have done il.
Then make three or four pads or
cushions of several sizes, using flannel,
cloth or felt and filling with sawdust,
ashes or wooden rags. They are TO
fill up the funnel-like space above the
pot, which they should do tightly when |
the lid of the box is closed over them. |
The freless cooker is now finished"

TO HOLD STATE FAIR.
Executive Committee Decides After Con.
ference with Gov. Graham.

TERENCE Win U0V. JIdndm.
The Vermont state fair will be held
on the state fair grounds at White River
Junction on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs.
day and Friday, Sept. IS, 10, 20 and 81,
on as extensive lines as have heretofore
made popular this state institution. This
decision was reached yesterday at con-
ference of the executive committee of the
state fair commission with Gov. Graham
at his Office at the capitol. The commits
sion has been somewhat undecided as to
how extensively to prepare for the fair
this year, owing to conditions brought
about by the war, and so expressed itself
at meeting of directors of practically
all the fairs in the state, held at White
River Junction Wednesday. 1t developed
at this meeting that nearly every county
fair in the state had made decision to
run show this year.
When this policy was made known to
Governor Graham to-day, he expressed
himself in favor of the state fair pre-
senting an exhibition on lines similar to
those that have been followed for many
seasons. With this endorsement on the
part of the executive, the committee vot-
ed to proceed with the preparation for
the event and to give to the people of
the state an exhibition of the highest
class.
The only change from established Gus
tom authorized by the executive commit
tee is the excluding of string" exhibitors
from the poultry department. This new
policy will confine the entries to a few
pens by each exhibitor and practically
limits the territory from whence exhibits
will come to New England. In the cattle
department, no premiums will be offered
for Brown Swiss cattle. In all other
respects, the fair will be as previously
conducted, with the same liberal premi-
ums on exhibits and with even larger
purses for trotting than heretofore.
There will be several new features add
ed to the customary program. This will
include the giving of the midway shows
on two evenings, Wednesday and Thurs
day, with all of the free vaudeville fea-
lures presented each day on the outdoor
stage opposite the grand stands. An ad-
mission of 25c will be charged for the
evening shows. The midway will be spe
cially lighted, and all the shows will be
in full swing.
The state fair this year will include
the customary large exhibits of cattle.
horses, sheep and swine. Floral, machin-
cry, and horticultural halls will be filed
with interesting exhibits. The Morgan
horse show promises TO be up TO the
shows of the past, with several new
horses to be shown by new exhibitors.
The decision of the executive commit
tee, endorsed by Governor Graham, now
makes it possible TO proceed with the /
preparation of what promises TO be the
best show ever seen on the state fair |
grounds

Mrs. Felch's Memory Failed.

Thereafter the state produced a series
of questions and answers alleged to have
been asked by former States Attorney
Williams and answered by the respon.
dent on the Sunday following the death
of Felch. The witness admitted a recol-
lection of the time when she talked in
the presence of Williams and a stenog-
rapher, but after that her memory re.
garding the conversation seemed hay
and often in an imperious voice she
gave shrill emphasis to an Il don't
know" or Il couldn't tell" Question
after question and answer after answer
was ready by the prosecutor, but the
witness memory, if the alleged state
ment was authentic, failed her entirely.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-06-29

Twice she explained in sharp tones that
1.-THE way her head was that day she
probably didn't know what she was an.
swering," and couldn't remember what
was asked or answered.
Nevertheless, the attorney general con
tinued his pitiless bombardment of ques-
tions and alleged replies. 1t was during
this period that the woman appeared i'll
at ease, working one hand and foot con-
! stantly, after the fashion of one who
was under much mental stress Only
once or twice did she recall any part of
the alleged statement, and then her rec
objections testified to memory of trivial
remarks.
The questions and answers at the out
set contained references to the woman's
age, the length of her married life, etc,
but she said she could recall none of it.
Reading from the dialogue which he held
in his hand, the prosecutor asked her if
she remembered of telling the states at
torney that Joe had told her he was
going to the sugarhouse and that he
asked her to go with him. Asked if she
intended to reply truthfully when inter
rogated by Mr.. Williams that Sunday,
the witness again called attention to the
condition of her head and declared she
didn't know whether the questions and
answers were right or wrong.
Asked concerning conversation, al
legged to have been repeated by her to
the former states attorney, in which she
told Otis Williams on the Sunday morn
ing referred to that she was going right
to the sugarhouse to look for Joe, the
witness replied: Maybe; | don't know"
and added that her head felt SO bad
that day she didn't know what she was
answering. Witness denied any CONVEX
sation in which she told Mr.. Williams of
her knowledge concerning the action OF
rife and denied emphatically state
ment in which she said that Joe asked
her to go with him to the sugarhouse
that night and observed afterward that
had she gone it would have been done
Just the same. The statement alleged
that Mrs. Felch said after the murder
that "Joe hadn't an enemy in the world"
that he was all discouraged because he
couldn't make money fast enough and
that even the death of lamb affected
him greatly. But the witness couldn't
she said, although she recalled |
a question by the states attorney con-
corning whether Joe was in debt or not. |
