SLACKERS AND TRAITORS.

"Slackers" and TRAITORS" were
words heard to be used in connection
with the names of those men pub
lished last week as failing to return
their questionnaires or report for eX-
animation.
But let this paper submit a ques-
ton. When does a person become a
Stacker, Or a traitor? Because one
was Fl years of age before June 5,
last, or had not passed his 31st birth
day then, is not the only considera-
ton.
The government asked young men
between the above ages to do certain
prescribed things, and those who fail
ed are slackers. But, the government
has asked every man and woman in
America to do certain prescribed
things. They are not military things.
But they are essential to the winning
Of the war. In a strictly moral, if not
in Q technical sense, those persons,
who fail to do as their country has
asked them to do in civil life are as
much slackers, or traitors, as those
men, who by chance happened to be
between certain ages and failed to do
the thing asked of them.
Who is Stacker or a traitor?
. Those are harsh words. A father
who wears a service pin with three
stars upon it, says any person who
refuses to eat wheat substitutes in
order that his boys and the Allied
armies may have sufficient food, are
slackers. And why not? Has not
the government asked us all to go
without wheat on certain meals and
days, just as it has asked certain men
to register?
A mother whose son lies buried in
France says those persons who re-
fuse to give to the Red Cross and sub
scribe to our loans in some just pro-
portion to their means, are slackers
because the government has asked US
to do this. And why not? Is the
need for men who are called slackers
If they do not register, any greater
than the need for money with which
to purchase supplies for them?
This paper predicts that the day
is not far distant when the finger of
shame will be pointed to one class
of Stacker as we'll as to the other
Who shall Judge? Those who will not
deny themselves the things the gov
eminent asks them to refrain from
eating, and have not kin in the war,
or those whose sons are at the front.
There are two sides to the Stacker
question. Who is a Stacker?

Is This Your Experience?
Many Barton People Are Afflicted
With Annoying Kidney Ills.

Are you bothered with too frequent
action of the kidneys? Are the Sc
cretions highly colored-do they con-
tain sedi,nent-burn and scald in
voiding? These are all signs of kid
ney sickness and should not be me-
elected. Barton people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back
aches and your kidneys are weak you
will find no better recommended rem
edy.
A. E. Drumming, Park ST., Barton,
says, ~ had been troubled more or
less with kidney complaint ever since
1 was a small child. I had little con-
troll over the action of my kidneys,
They acted too freely, causing me an
noyance and making it very disagree
able. Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention and I tried
them. Three boxes procured from the
d. w. Barron Co., were enough to re-
lieve me and I certainly praise them
for the good they have done me.

A census table Of farm facts in
Vermont by counties, published in
this issue shows some very interest
ing things regarding Orleans county.
For example, it shows that Orleans
county makes 100000 pounds OF
maple sugar and the nearest competi-
tor in sugar making is Caledonia
with only 100000 pounds. However
Caledonia makes more syrup and re-
ducing the products Of both counties
to sugar we find Orleans county leads
but little. However, Orleans county
taps many more trees. Orleans coun-
ty is credited with many more horses
than any other county in the state

OUR BOYS CLEAR GERMAN
TRENCHES BEFORE CANTIGNY

With the American Army in France
June 20.-By Associated Press. AT
dawn this morning, American troops
stormed German trenches and ma
chine gun posts in front of Cantigny
in the Mondidier sector. Those of
the German garrison who remained to
fight and carry out their orders to
hold the positions at any cost, were
killed by rifle and machine gunfire
and bayonets.
The American artillery put down a
heavy box barrage on the rear of the
enemy position. A few minutes later
the infantry swarmed over the top
and rushed the trenches. Some of the
Germans had tried to escape through
the barrage, crashing to their rear,
but few of them got through, for mum
erous German dead were found later.
Prisoners captured declare that
they hod orders to hold on at all
costs, and this was apparent by the
desperate manner in which they
fought. The battle was short but
deadly, for the enemy positions were
swept clean of Germans. The official
report says that great many Ger
mans were killed
One machine gun nest containing
eight men, which had been sprinkling
Cantigny for some days. was blown
up by direct hit from a trench NOR

THE NATIONS EYES
By Mrs. Max Vest

What of our children's eyes? Re-
cent Investigations into the condition
| of American school children reveal
that about one-fifth-20 per cent-are
handicapped by defective vision, and
in considerable unmber of cases
these defects are serious. How gray g
ly this affects the Nations welfare is
demonstrated by the findings in the
recent examination of recruits for the
new army. More than 10000 nen
called in the first draft were reje. ted
for physical disqualifications OF the
10000 cases which were anaylzed in
detail, more than one-fifth. had been
rejected for defects Of The eye. This
single cause was responsible for more
than twice as many reflections as the
next highest cause, namely, defects
OF the teeth, and for three or four
times as many as mcst of The ulher
defects. 1t is, therefore. plain that
American parents should take much
anxious thought as to the condition of
their children's eyes during inc wears
when the harm is most likely to be
done and when trouble can most read
lily be prevented or cured.
The first essential is TO insure The
soundest possible health at birth. This
depends in a certain measure upOn
the health and diet of The mother he
fore the baby is horn. Proper food
and care for The baby throughout
infancy and childhood when the
structures of the body are growing at
the most rapid rate are necessary. I'm
proper or insufficient food. neglect
and illness are among the causes
which interfere with growth and heal
thy development of The body in every
part and no doubt affect the growing
eyes in the same way.
But even when the fundamental
laws of good health nave been OBJ
served and when the eyes are strong
and healthy to begin with, they should
have very special care from the mo-
ment of birth. Directions for this
are found in two bulletins Of the
Children's Year, entitled Prenatal
Care and Infant Care both OF
these bulletins will be sent free in re-
sponse to all requests. Send your
name and full address clearly writ
ten to the Chief of the Childrens Blu
reau, U, S. Department OF Labor
Washington, d. C.
Babies are often allo&od to lie in
their carriages with the sun shining
directly into their eyes, or are per-
mtted to look straight into a bright
artificial light, thus working harm TO
the delicate nerves of the eye. AS
children grow they often straiu their
eyes by reading or doing other work
in poor light, or too soon after Ill
ness, when the eyes are particularly
subject to injury. 1t is necessary,
therefore, that parents know what
the care of the eye Involves ami SO
safeguard this precious sense in their
children that the inefficiancy and UNI
happiness resulting from defective
vision shall be steadily reduced.

ITALIANS RECAPTURE THREE
TOWNS WITH AID OF FRENCH
Enemy Advances Stopped East and South
of Asiago, Where Allies Regain
Pennar, Bertigo & Costallunga

To all outward appearance the Aus
trian offensive in the Italian theatre
thus far has met with failure all
along the front from the Venetian
Alps to the Adriatic sea.
In the hill region additional ground
has been recaptured from the Invalid
ers, while along the Piave river,
where intnsive fighting is in progress
at some points with fluctuating results
the balance toward ultimate victory
seems to sway in favor of the Italian
arms.
South and east of Asiago, the French
and Italians in brilliant counter Of
fensives have retaken Pennar, Bertigo
and Costalunga, past which the Aus
trians had hoped to push their front
and gain the Astico river valley, which
leads to Vicenza on the plains below.
Not alone were the positions regain
ed but more than 200 prisoners fell
into the hands of the allied troops.
On their part, over tn centre noun
tain region, the Austrian have re
mained quite, except when compelled
to go on the defensive and then their
efforts to hold back their antagonists
have lacked the stamina usual in men
whose hearts are in their task. This
condition has prevailed since the first
onslaught of the enemy was summari-
ly stopped by the fire of the British
French and Italian forces forming
the barrier to the Venetian plains.
