These two little brothers were brought from a dangerous frontier village a year ago. The elder one, at the left, is five old, but so stunted that he is no taller than little Jean, who is about two and a half. The two years of frontier life have left Pierre with legs which will be permanentely twisted from rickets, the result of undernourishment Jean was taken away in time by an American woman and now is leading a healthy life at a French chateau a half an hour out of Paris. These children are cared for by organizations working in cooperation with the American Red Cross
