School children had a large share
in the success of the last community
chest campaign for the support of
charity in Toledo, Ohio. Thirty five
pupils from the fourth, fifth, and
sixth grades of the public and paro-
chial schools were invited to visit
some of the institutions maintained,
and, as regular part of their
English work in school, to write up
their observations. No attempt was
made to force an adult viewpoint
upon the children. The result was a
40-page booklet of illustrated stories
and problems, all the work of the
children. This booklet was used for
week as regular reading material
in the schools. The schools in this
way not only assisted in advertising
the social and benevolent needs of
the community, but actually gave
40 per cent more in the campaign
than the budget assigned them.

With persistent use, your

PERTUSSIN has a remarkable
remedial effect upon the chronic
coughs Of bronchitis and asthma.
1t helps nature to clear the air
passages of the germ-laden mu-
Gus, controls the cough and
soothes the irritated tissues.
PERTUSSIN may be taken
freely, as it contains no "dope"
(such as narcotics, chloroform,

JOINED IN PICKING
SICK MANS COTTON

The question of a certain lawyer,
"And who is my neighbour was an
swered with the parable of the Good
Samaritan. That was about 1900
years ago, says the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal.
1t was answered again a few days
ago by some good people in Carroll
county, Tennessee. Aff1iction had laid
its hand heavily on the family Of a
poor farmer in Carroll. For six weeks
the man, his wife and two children had
been down with typhoid fever.
The sick man had a little cotton
crop. 1t doesn't matter how much
'otton farmer plants and grows, nor
how good the cotton, it isn't worth
anything unless it is picked
There is big demand for cotton
pickers at this time They are being
imported by the hundreds. This sick
man couldn't pick his cotton and he
was in fair way to lose it. His
neighbors had their own cotton to
pick and other farm duties to attend
to, but
Eighty of them went into the field
o. this SICK man and gathered his crop
for him. They saved the cotton and
the cost Of picking it.

"A come to the hotel this after
noon," the proprietor Of the Ferry said
to Nancy and me. "and perhaps you
would like to meet them"
We had been the only Americans at
the hotel so far and were glad to know
that there would be someone else now
to appeal to the interest and the Curl
osity of the English guests.
THANK you" / replied, Il should
very much like to meet them, but
think 1 could without difficulty recog-
nize them shortly after they come into
the dining room"
"How is that?" he inquired. "Does
an American look different from an
EnglishmanY
tits not that" / answered, "but we
all give ourselves away"
you'll recognize them, of course,
by their dialect" Nancy said to me.
"That would be quite easy" I re-
piled.
We were little late to dinner that
evening, and the tables were well filled
when we entered There were five
strange couples scattered about, no
one Of which had been in the dining
room before during our stay, and no
one Of them near enough for us to
catch their accent, or to get look
at their shoes, so those two methods
Of Identification were eliminated. A
sixth couple came in after we were
seated, but he entered first and she
followed, so that eliminated them from
the running. The American man al
ways trails along behind his wife.
"Well solve the problem by a
process of elimination" 1 said to
Nancy, "and you can help"
We eliminated the next couple be-
cause, though we could not hear what
he was saying, it was apparent that
the man was giving to the waiter the
order for the various courses without
consulting his wife as to her especial
desires.
The next woman went because her
dress was so long ago out of style that
Nancy was sure no American woman
who had money enough to go to Eu-
rope would ever wear a gown, no mat
ter how well preserved it was, if 1t
were ten years behind the styles.
There were three left from which to
pick the winner. OF these three
couples the woman at one table was
smoking, the woman at another table
was drinking beer, and the third wom-
an had brought a dog into the dining
room with her.
"The dog means English" l said,
for every other woman you meet in
England is being led about by dog
usually a Scotch terrier. So she
dropped out.

and not a few smoke" Nancy re-

Old Fort Landmark in State of Maine

Fort Edgecomb is one of eight old
forts purchased from the United States
government by the state of Maine. The
historical and sentimental value of
their ruined blockhouses and grass
grown ramparts cannot be overesti-
mated. Particularly is this true of
old Fort Edgecomb, on the Damar-
asicotta river, in southern Lincoln
county, Maine, says the Dearborn In
dependent.
Moses Davis decided the site of the
fort to the United States government
June Is, 1903. Here a fort was built
for the protection of the Maine coast.
Here were built extensive earthworks
and magazine of brick and stone. The
Edgecomb blockhouse is heavy,
square-timbered structure of two
stories, with a basement. The first
story. q feet wide, is pierced for mus
kerry, commanding all approaches.

There was no doubt of it. An Eng
