MOSES MURPHY

Moretown, Vermont, March o7th 1918. s'I am warranted in having the strongest faith in 'Fruit-a-tiyes' after receiving such wonderful benefits from them. For years, was a sufferer with Kidney and Liver Complaints. My back ached my liver was sluggish f; and my whole system seemed out of order.
 'Fruit-a-tives' was the only remedy to help me. They strengthened the kidneys, made my bowels move regularly and freed me of all the distress caused from the kidney trouble, constipation and indigestion.
 A few weeks treatment with 'Fruit-a-tives' made me feel as if I had new lease on life, and I am glad to make known the great value o1 these Fruit Liver Tablets.

 Describing Mir. Schwab as the foremost captain of industry in the country" MT. Hurley praised his services to the government during the war and told the committee he had been instrumental in getting MT. Schwab to serve with the fleet cor poration.

 He declared that in spite of the many difficulties encountered the board was able to turn out ships in great enough numbers to help turn the tide at the most critical period of the war.

He began to run and then he saw it was his own home burning. He climbed up the ladder. went through the window and got under the stove and pulled out his little puppy. He put 1t in his waist and then came out of the window. He had almost tainted but the fireman held a blanket and he fell in. it. Someone open ed his waist and out came the little pup py.

UNCLE JED,s TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKEs.

This is the time of year when many boys and girls have a part in the planting of trees. shrubs. vines or some kind Of plant. Tho planting ia done with the ex- pectation that the tree or plant will grow and thrive. furnish us shade or fruit, and be benefit in many ways to the prop sfty where it stands and those who own !r.
 But the setting out of trees, or shrubs, sr plants. isn't all that is required. Just as much as 1t Is necessary to be careful n setting out the trees. just so is 1t in- portant that they. should get attention to encourage their growth. Not much progress would be noticed if they were aprooted. tipped over or broken down, any more than there would be if they were allowed to dry up. Yet they get hifsty just as much as human beings and they need good soil.
 However. it isn't only during the next few mcnths after they are set out tha; they ought to get attention. hv.' at all tEes when they show the need of 1t, and tais In particular when they seem to bf endangered by such pests as the gypsy and browntail moths.
 In the fighting of such pests. which ca, up many kinds of vegetation, there Is a great opportunity for the children to dc much valuable work. Probably many. of tho wide-Awakes have engaged in the killing of the moths. the caterpillsrs 0, collecting to be burned the nests with the eggs. Wherever there is chance. when. ever a nest is seen. each boy and gir should be alert to destroy it for the in creased protection that will be given tt trees and other vegetation thereby.
 We can well show our interest in set ting out new trees but it will profit U. little if We endanser that or others b, doing nothing to protect it against it enemies.

DAaf Unrls Jed:--srhe men of the colonies did the fighting, which won freedom, but the wetnen also did their nsrt. The mothers and wives spurred the men on with courage. but some of them dad more than this. One of these was Betsy Rcss who made the first American flag.
 When the cofcnists rsbelied against f1nkiAnd, they eli stood separately. Each had their own system of government and thetr own flag. Some flags had the pie lures of pine trees, others had the words of Don't tread on me- and "I.iberty or death" but there was no national flag.
 After the Declaration of 1ndependntee was signed, ccngfess passed a resolution to have flag of thirteen stripes, alter nate red and white, for the union, thtr- teen stars on a field of Biue.
 Congress appointed George Washing ton. Rabert Norris and Colonel Ross. to design and have this flag made. They asked Betsy Ross who lived on Arch street. Philadelphia, to make 1t. She agreed to do t. but suggested that the stars have five points instead of six. as washington had designed them. Betsy Ross and her assistants made many flags for the government
 The American flag WIS first flown at FNeft Schuyler The ga q son had no flag and they tried to make one. The white stripes were cut from sheets: the red stripes were made from bits of crimson A blue cicaiS was used for the field of the stars. It was first flown On water by John Paul Jones' commander of the Aair | Ranger"
 The flag was not changed unail I7s5 when two stripes r~d two stars were 1 added for Maine .S,id kentucky. The people saw that the stripes must hay, limit and 1t was decided that stal should De added for every state tha was admitted into the union. GLADYS CRUTHERs, Age i3 Norwich Town.
