BROOKS APPRECIATES I
CAMPAIGN WORK IN
THIRD LIBERTYLOAN

To the members of the Liberty
Loan committees and the citizens of
Bemidji:
1T is impossible for me to express
my appreciation of the wonderfully
enthusiastic support which has been
given the Liberty Loan by the va
rious committees 1t is not prac-
tical for me to see every one and
thank them personally for the great
work which they did. For this rea-
son, won't each one of you, both wo-
men and men, accept this as my per-
sonal thanks for the tireless energy
which each of you gave to the work
Mr.. Molander in particular, and the
executive committee, also, are re-
sponsible for the complete and per-
feet organiza ton of the mems forces
Thousands of dollars of additional
bonds were sold through the work
of the women under the direction Of
Mrs. A. P White as chairman.
The Commercial club very kindly
donated Mr.. Lamson's entire time for
the week and practically all the en-
ormous amount of detail work has
been handled by him in most able
and conscientious manner.
We must all realize, however, that
we are fortunate in living in so loyal
a community, and that even with
the enthusiastic committees working,
the success could not havt been at
tanned had it not been for the true,
loyal spirit and beautiful patriotism
of every man, woman and child in
this "The City of Enterprise" of
which we are all always SO proud
Yours sincerely,
w. L. BROOKS,
County Chairman,

Vermont Health Conditions.

| The Vermont conference on charities
and correction in session at Rutland has
heard and is to-day hearing the state
leaders in public health work tell of the
splendid record the state has made
in many lines as well as of some Of the
vital needs which must be considered and
solved in the future. We print on anoth-

will repay careful reading.
DIR. Charles F. Dalton of this city. sec.

points out the opportunity offered by
the comprehensive statistics gathered in
furtherance of the draft law and the
surprising large percentage of reflections
for minor causes and causes which would
have been easily preventable if taken in
the early stages
He does well to point out the vast I'M
provement in public health and the re-
sulting gain in national efficiency which
may easily be developed by more exten.
sive health work in the schools reaching
the citizens of the country when thew
can be started on the right path. Early
measures will prevent the development of
the ailments which have caused such raw
ages and reduced the military effective
ness of the nation in time Of its trial by
battle.
Here is the great opportunity but in
what may be done in the
future the splendid record already made
by the state in various lines must not
be forgotten.
The winning fight against tuberculo- |
sis, the leading pace taken in the fight |
against infantile paralysis, dental work |
for country pupils and other lines of /!
work show to the credit of the state

work in remedying these conditions and |

argument may be used for many other

better stock and richer farm manure.
