Mrs. GEO. a. Foos, III S. 9th St,
Goshen, Ind.
The experience Of Motherhood is
trying one to most women and marks
distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not
one woman in hundred is prepared or
understands how to properly care for
herself. Every woman at this time
should rely upon Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, most valuable
tonic and inyigorator OF the female
organism.
In many homes once chiIdless there
are now children because Of the fact
that Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women norma |,
healthy and strong and this good old
fashioned root and herb remedy con-
tains no narcotics or harmful drugs.

The Brattleboro Reformer bewails the
fact that Windham county has not had
governor since 1892 and the Barre
Times discovers that Barre has never had
even one. Neither has Essex Junction,
but the people will wake up some of
these fine mornings and find that Essex
has real candidate and he will be a
winner-Burlington Clipper.
Produce the candidate. No one will
object as long as he doesn't have to
wake up in Essex Junction.

Reviving An Old Scheme.
Greenfield Recorder. J

Burlington, Vt, is reyiving the ancient
scheme of connecting the St. Lawrence
river with Lake Champlain by means of
a canal following the course of the Rich
elieu river. As canals go, it would not
be an expensive project, but the greater
part of the work to be done lies with
Canadian territory while the benefits to
be accrued would be chiefly to lake ports.
The Vermont view, however. seems to
be that the opening OF such waterway

Bolshevik Opponents Seek Recognition of Soviet Russia
 to Escape Blockade
Hv Assncinted Pres.

Berlin, December 25.--L. Martosff and R. Abramowitsch leaders in the Russian Mensheviki party opposed to bolshevism who are sojournipg in Bar lin, have issued an appeal here In he name of their party calling on tho so- cialistic parties and trade unions of all tEe nations to make common eff5rt to secure the recognition of soviet Russia, to have the blockade raised aud trade relation with the outside world re- sumed.
 The appeal states that the defeat of General Wrangel is not the victory of bolshevism but the victory of the Rus san revolution and the whole Russian people. The Mensheviki manifesto Ge- olares that the Russian peasant who is fighting communism in his own nam e let nevertheless furnished the gover1- ment with troops to repulse Wransel as dlu aiso the ss,an .p~ a. peinoofatic proletariat, both of whom are deter mined to have Russian sail cleared of international and Russian reactona- res."
 The manifesto then goes on to say: '"rhe time has now arrived when tho question of putting a nend to further intervention in Russia is matter of honor with the nations of Europe, as we'll dS tht thlNHu oNetpS' l hS N"iA asserts that the quickest way to &C., complish the downfall of the present soviet regime is to permit it to have uninterrupted sway, as 1t will then col lapse from within as result of Is and Utopian policies and that the redemption of Russia is only possible after the inevitable and automatic self-defeat of the Lenine and TrotZky government.

Refugees From War -Ravaged Districts Compelled to Live Amidst Disease-Breeding
 Filth and Squalor

New York, Dece.4goer -5.-r Three thou- sand Armenlans, driven from their homes in tho war-ravaged countries south of the
 Black sea, are concentrated in old churches or other refugee buildings in Constantinople, says report received here by the Near East relief from one of it's workers. Their fate is described as wretched. Work is at a premium in Constantinople because of the influx of 10O,0o0 Russian refugees from the c.rimea. and numerous Greeks from the fighting zone in Anatolia.
 The buildings in which the Armenian refugees have been herded are character ized as unsuitable in almost every con ceivable way for housing so many. There are five Of these refugee centers. called camps The relief worker reports that sanitary conditions in these camps are almost indescribable. The buildings are crowded. dirty and wet. The refugees most of them country people, unused to the ways of the city and stupefied by their misfortunes. sit around huddled against the walls The women have dull. sad faces and the little children are blue and pinched with the cold and too mis- erably lifeless to cry.
 The women make an effort to keen clean, but it is hard to wash either bodies or clothes when there is no soap, ab9lIt one pan OF kettle for 10 families. and all the water from one we'll Most of the refugees have arrived in Constan tlnople with almost nothing except the clothes on their backs and many are barely covered. Even greater need exists for blankets than warm clothing. One family of five. for instance sleeps on a pare stone floor under one thin, ragged half cotton blanket.
 At Haskeuy camp located in an old Armenian church, 500 persons from G. iicia are housed, 255 of them women and children. They are hungry most of the time. Every two days the camp receives l30 loayes Of bread and one case of milk from the Central Armenian committee. The milk is reserved for the babies and the sick. They cook over twig fires and with the constant rain and mud dry twigs are hard to find.
