Notice to Service
Men In Vermont

Adiutant General Johnson of Mont
pclcr has sent out the following no
ticc to all Vcrmontcrs who were in
the service:
The adjutant generals Office in
Montpelier has just completed the
sending out of over $4,000 question
naircs to all men and women who
were in military service, from Yer
mont, during the World war. This
questionable is sent out to secure rs
early as possible full and true re-
cord Of the details of every person $
service. From these records, verified
by the records of the war department,
there will later be complied tho roster
and other statistics of the Vermont
men and women who saw military
service in this World war;
Due to the difficulty of securing the
names and addresses of every person
to whom these questionnaircs should
be sent, it is quite possible that there
are those who have not yet received
ono who should. If there is any per
son who served in this war who has
not yet received one of these qucs-
tionnaires, it would he much apprc-
ciatcd by this Office if that person
would write to this Office requesting
that one be sent to him.
Just as rapidly rs these records oe
service can be verified and the certi
ficatcs prepared, the engraved ccrii-
ficatcs of service will be sent out 20
every person who hal led Il question
nairc. Due to the labor involved in
verifying these records and writing
the certificates, it will necessarily ~
some time before all can be mailed
out from this office.

HOME DEMONSTRATION NOTES
Nutrition Clinics.

Nutrition Clinics.
Weighing and measuring of the
Grade children in Bonnie Terre and
Flat River is being done by the teach
ers and local women. Mrs. ]. J. Bow
man is chairman of the Bonnie Terre
Committee. In Flat River, the Wo-
mans Club, and Miss Page of the
Household Arts Department of the
High School, have charge of the new
work. Misses Fricke and Evers, Wis
iting nurses in the lead belt, are also
helping supervise the weighing and
measuring.
l have no report yet from Flat Riv-
er, but the per cent of Bonnie Terre
children bel0@ normal was found to
be very high. Many of them ran as
much as 20 per cent or 80 per cent be-
low normal weight. Many of the To-
cal physicians are showing deep in
terest in the work and have volunteer
ed service even beyond our expecta-
ton. They are interested for the sake
of the "kiddies" themselves. It is
something to help lift into health
young lives that would otherwise be
stunted or even lost.
DR.. Holt, one Of Americas foremost
Child Specialists, says, "Public con-
science demands that the Indifference
which permits such health conditions
to exist among the children must
cease; that the defects must be con-
rected; that there must be no avoid
able malnutrition (under nourish-
ment) among the children of this
great country"
Nutrition clinics will be held in
Bonnie Terre the third week in March,
and in Flst River the last week in
March. Watch for further announce
ments. The work in Pennington is
being continued. A few other schools
will soon be added to the list.
The Modern Home
Do you have the working surfaces
in your kitchen the right height for
you? IL tables or cabinets are too
high, it is easy to cut off the legs to
the right height. If too low, raise,
adding blocks Of wood fastened by
metal strips or place legs in blocks Of
wood with socket in which the table
legs sit securely.
