Washington, Oct. 2.—The long planned centralised control of all the economic forces of the nation fight ing Germany is at last a fact. It applies the principles of the unified military command to raw materials, manufactured products, shipping, finance, food and the ex port and import reltions of the Unit ed States and the co-belligerents. The great plan was worked out by Pres ident Wilson's so-called war cabi net and the allied missions. It has been approved by the President and he premieres of the entente notions. No announcement of its consuma tion has been made here, in fact, it has rather been withheld from pub licity. Some of its details and the fact that it is actually in operation have become known through develop ments in Paris and London. Co-ordination of effect by the asso ciated governments in addition to military .and naval activity amount ing to centralized control is built around the five inter-allied councils— war. shipping, munitions, food and finance. Under these special deeds I completion of a common economic I and industrial program is now being undertaken, principally in London and Paris and limited to the follow ing cases: Where two or more governments are interested in supplies which must be transported overseas to .supplo mcr.t deficiencies in local production or where several sources of '-upplies should be agreed upon together with the allotment and method of their distribution or utilization, or where there might without agreement be competition between governments in procuring supplies or a wasteful du plication of productive effort. The programs will be co-ordinated with flnance.through the inter-allied Ship ping Council with export and import relations through an inter-allied board made up of heads or represent atives of the American War Trade Board and similar departments of the other governments. Any differences arising as to a location of ships or material or oth er matters of a serious or vital na ture. on which the membbers of the inter-ailied councils arc unable to agree, will be brought to President Wilson and the piemier? of the al lied nations for settlement. Food control already has been centered in London. The munitions council meets in Paris. The entire plan contemplates the cutting of red tape, elimination of controversies between the allies in their fight against the central pow ers and welding the resources of the allies into a common pool and to provide the machinery to handle all problems that are Intricate, volumi nous, or in need of continuous atten tion. PRINT PAPER Judges Circuit Court Decide Price $5.50 Per 100 Pounds for Rolled News in Carload Lots, F. O. B. Mills— Restores Price Current Last Spring Which Was Reduced to $3.10 by Federal Trade Commission N'ew York. Oct. 2.—Judges of the Unit ed States circuit court actlpg as arbitra tors in the city between newspaper man ufacturers and the Federal Trade Com mission over the price of news print paper today handed down a decision awarding a price of 13.50 per 100 pounds for rolled news In carload lost fob mills. This restores the price current last spring which was reduced to 1310 by the Federal Trade Commission. Un der the arrangement with the manufac uters by which the Federal Trade Com mission fixed the price, it was agreed if the manufacturers thought it was too low they could appeal to the circuit court of this district ns arbitrators and that the attorney general acting as trus tee of the people could also appeal if he thought the price was too high. The manufacturers believed that the price fixed by the commission was too low. The judges signing the award are Ward, Rogers, Houg and Manton. They hold that the maximum-selling price of news print for the manufacturers involved should he “based on an average of the reasonable capital investments and fair manufacturing costs of the signatory parties." Two of the manufacturers are, however, excepted from this aver age one of them producing a little print paper and the value of the others not being known to the judges. They find that it now costs MS to manufacture one ton of paper In an average Canadian mill and that in the United States it costa $5 more, and the average cost for i the eight manufacturers considered is more than ISO a ton. a iair annual return oi capital invest ed is held in 15 per cent., requiring profit of 119.75 per ton. which added to "this ayerage cost ot manufacture, says 15 w*uld bring the maximum selling price to *70 per ton.

STUPENDOUS TASK FACES HUN FORCES On Western Front From North Sea to Verdun WASHINGTON OBSERVERS ON SITUATION; Ringed by Wall of Victorious i Enemies the Plight of the Germans is Undoubtedly Grave Question Whether German High Command Has Acted in Time Washington, Oct. 2.—The German grip on northern Franco and Bel gium has been definitely broken. Even the most cautious military ob servers in Washington agreed tonight that the Hindenburg line was dis integrating and army officers cen tered their whole attention on the ef forts of the German leaders to ex tract their armies without disaster. Outflanked in Belgium and in the Champagne the great. German zone of defensive works known ns the Hindenturg line already was becom ing untenable when Field Marshal Haig's men smashed through it to day just north of St. Quentin. The immediate investment of the city by French troops and the swift widen ing of the breach northward coupled with the continued rapid progress of French, Belgian and British forces in Belgium it is thought here may possibly upset the whole German scheme of retardment which already had begun on the Rheims front. British penetration of the line it. was said, may furnish Marshal Foch with a means to embarrass the Ger man retreat always with the possi bility of precipitating a veritable Ringed by a wall of victcorious en emies over the whole front from the North sea to eVrdun, the situation of the Germans is undoubtedly grave. The drive in Belgium is menacing vi tal communications on one side while American and French troops in the Champagne are surging forward to ward equally vital supply Hues on the other. The battle line is assum ing the shape of a vast trap thrust ing its Jaws out to engulf the Ger man armies. The German leaders have seen their danger. Official reports to the state de partment today indicated that evacua tion of the submarine bases on the Bel gian coast was imminent. There also is conclusive evidence that the evacuation of the lines before Ttheims is well un der way. The question uppermost in the minds of army officers here 13 whether the German high command has acted in time.

New cases reported totalled slightly more than 13, 000, a decrease of 1000 from the number reported the day before. Pneumonia also showed a decrease with only STS new cases and 271 deaths. While reports today to the office of surgeon general of the army showed decreases in the number of new eases of Spanish influenza at army camps information coming to the public health service was that the disease was radiply spreading among the civilian population over the country. The malady has appeared now in 43 states and the district of Columbia and besides New Englan! it is epi demic in tidewater, Virginia, South Carolina and other places it is re ported particularly prevalent along the Atlantic seaboard and Gulf states. Vigorous steps to combat the disease by the public health service and doc tors and nurses have been ordered to several places where the epidemic is most severe. Influenza cases at all camps now number more than 100,000 with 7,645 cases of pnumonia re ported since the epidemic began and 14S deaths. Sixteen camps today re ported new cases of influenza, with the largest number at Came Meade, j Md., 1590. Camp Custer, Mich., re ported 1.040 new cases and Camps! Pike, Ark.; and Taylor, K>\, more! than 10,000 each. Camps Lee, Vir- j ginia and Grant, Illinois have more! than 600 cases. Conditions at Camp Devens. Mass., j continue to show improvement only) 92 new cases being reported there to- day. The crest of the epidemic also appears to have been passed at Camp Dix, New Jersey, which showed only i 314 new cases, against 543 yesterday.: There were 50 deaths at Dix and 29 at j Devens. i HUB DEATH TOLL DECREASES SOME Boston, Oct. 2.—Boston's daily I death toll from Spanish influenza (Continued on Page 4—Col. 3) GERMANS RETREATING OVER WIRE FRONT FRENCH OCCUPY WHOLE OF ST. QUENTIN 7000 TURKS TAKEN IN FALL OF DAMASCUS THE WASHOUT ON THE BERLIN=BAGDAD RAILWAY TERRITORY HELD BY GERMANS THE BREAK IN MJTTELEUROPA MILITARY CONTROL IN GERMANY WEAKENING TEUTON WAR MASTERS MUST TURN TO PEOPLE CIVILIANS AR^ DEMANDING VOICE IN AFFAIRS Washington, Oct. 2.—Signs are multiplying in reports reaching the state department from various agencies in neutral countries of the rapid weakening of the despotic control which the military elements in Germany and Austria have imposed upon the oivilian population. So extensive and consequential are the events quick ly following one another in Berlin and Vienna that American officials are becoming convinced that the im perial rulers have been forced, however, reluctantly, to the conviction that if they are to preserve their dynas ties from destruction they must yield to the growing demands of the civilian elements for the right of partici pation in the government during this crisis. The military parties have retained their control because of their asserted ability to secure a military decision that would confirm German supremacy over continental Europe and the British isles as well. Now that the German armies rre being defeated and driven back into Germany, and the nation is confronted with the pain ful certainty of an invasion and retributive justice for the wrongs inflicted upon the French and Belgians, the influence of the Pan-German^ and military parties is waning and it is believed that the two emperors have decided that if they are to retain the suport of the people they must turn to the civilian parties that have been demanding a voice in affairs. As a half way measure and in a desperate effort to save the imperial prerogative. Emperor William already has tried the expedient of himself selecting leaders of the opposition parties for minor places in the cabinet and promising to forward the enactment of popular measures. But the Socialists have generally declined to an acceptance short of absolute control throughout the Reichstag of the cabinet without reference to the wishes of the emperor, and officials believe that at length they are about to realize their aspirations. Such a change in Germany doubtless would be followed, if not indeed preceded by a similar revolution in Austrian parliamentary government, and it is fully expected that as soon as real representative government is a fact in the central empires there will be an i resistible movement towards peace even on the terms laid down by President Wilson. In this connection the news today that the Austrian Emperor had summoned to Vienna the three biggest men of Hungary, Counts Tisza, Andrassy r.nd Appony, was received here with un disguised interest. This action was regarded as very significant, although officials were not certain whether it had t> do with the Bulgarian withdrawal from the war, with its direct threat to the dual monarchy or with internal reforms or was a definite move for a separate peace.

In the above drawing from the human blood In health (Fig A) and In dleeaee (Fig B) we see how the blood changes, as seen through a micro scope. when a person is thin-blooded as in anemia (Fig. B). During the long winter months most women are housed up in the home, office or fac tory. Betting little good air or proper exercise. Therefore the following spring or summer they feel weak, ner vous, look pale, or the skin breaks out in pimples, eruptions or boils; one feels "blue" and without energy. Some times hands nre cold and "clammy.” Women often are so pale they look almost green—often called "green sickness." At such times there is a large decrease in the red or white b lood corpuscles and the blood cells in stead of being round and healthy take on irregular shapes, as in Fig. B. Wlmt s to be done in such cases? Put iron in your blood, and the cells become round and red; they lose the irregular shape and you gain in vim, vigor and vitality. By experiments a nd actual tests, I have found that the best combination of Iron with herbal extracts is to be found in an iron tonic, called "Irontlc," and sold by most druggists in tablets cf one hun dred for sixty cents. You will find th at instead of pale cheeks, feelings of lassitude, tired, worn out before day is half done, after taking “Irontic” >ur cheeks will have color, you will feel strong and vigorous, and “ready for the fray." Start now and you will be surprised how full of vim, vigo. and vitality you will feel in a faw short weeks.

FOUR COUNTY FAIR OPENS AT PITTSFIELD Pittsfield, Me., Oct. 2.—The fourth an nual cattle show and fair of the Four County Fair Association opened very auspiciously here Tuesday, drawing a beautiful fall day after a none too prom ising night before. A good sized first day crowd was in attendance and seem ed to be well satisfied with the attrac tions, which were many and varied. All day Monday and well into the night heavy teams and gangs of men were hauling the Midway paraphernalia to the grounds and by hustling on the part of everyone it was all erected by noon Tuesday and was working smoothly but hardly noiselessly, for the barkers and fakirs were exercising their voices to the limit after a rest forced on them by the weather man at several of the Maine fairs. Practically everything that has been seen at the big fairs in Maine this fall is here on the Midway, including the "Whip,” Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, Monkey Speedway and tent shows and refreshment tents and booths in good assortment. In the exhibition hall is a good line of country produce and farm products. Perhaps the fancy work exhibit may be a little smaller than usual but no crit icism will be made on this as the ma jority of the-Jt>usv hands that have pro duced this line of exhibits have been equally busy on Red Cross work and knitting for the boys in khaki. The cattle are here in large numbers and splendid stock. The poultry tent was visited by many during the day and the exhibit seemed to be a good one. The whole fair is good throughout and everyone had a splendid time. Wednes day and Thursday will be big days and with a continuation of weather of to day's brand big crowds will be in at tendance. There were three races on the card for Tuesday, and although all went In straight heats the racing was gamey and the drivers went to it in good shape. F. E. Southards of Caribou, who has a large stable of horses here, had things coming h|s way, winning two firsts. He took the three-minute class with Nut wood Kinney and the 2 25 class with Queen Brino. Little Peter, another of his string, captured third in the free for-all. CJolil standard, owned oy u. jjci ron of Bangor, got the second money in the three-minute class, and Geneva W. and Pat DeForest, two of Col. Morrill's string, won third, and fourth. In the 2.25 class Donald C., owned by Arthur Lander of Newport, won second money, landing in fourth position in the first heat but coming in second in the i next two. Worthen's Major D. easily j handled the third position and the fourth money went to McAllister's Mar vel C. The free-for-all was a good snappy race and the gray gelding Royal Mc Kenney owned by Hanson 4 DeWitt of St. Albans captured this race. Master Mariner of the Hudson Farm in Guilford had the third money and Little Anna S-, owned by P. H. and G. W. Reed of Farmington, had fourth. The summary is as follows: NO. 1. 3.00 CLASS.

Crier Company Seventy Devonshire Street BOSTON NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Features of the Day's Dealings in All the Leading Stocks New York, Oct. 2.—Many mixed changes were registered during today’s erratic and less active stock market. Snares displayed further heaviness which again extended to issues in no way identified with a group. Aside from the tenor offering dispatches, there was little in the day’s developments to prompt further offerings of war stocks, other than that such a course probably suited the purposes of professional in terests. Public participation was slighted judg ing from the inactivity of commission houses and the selling at no time sug gested liquidation of an important char acter, save in a few isolated instances. P- S. Steel was again under fire re acting siightly over a point but fetriev ing most of its loss at the end. Recog nized war shares, notably Bethlehem Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and half a score others engaged in the .manufac ture of munitions and ordnance, added one to three points to recent reversals. Jtails failed to bear out their promise of the previous day, denoting moderate heaviness under an early demonstration of strength by Union Pacific and Read ing. Low priced rails, a feature of the early week, were dull and little changed. Oils, motors, shippings, coppers, to baccos and utilities featured the con structive side at gains of two to seven points, Mexican Petroleum and Texas Company rising spiritedly in the final hour with material rallies in most cases, a steady tone ruling at the close. Salee amounted to 635.000 shares. Bonds were irregular. Puberty issues as well as internationals showed no de cided trend. Total sales, par value, ag gregated fS.350,000. Old United States bond3 were un changed on call. New York Money Market New York, Oct. 1 Mercantile paper 6. Sterling 60-day bills 4.73.

William Dilworth has moved Ills family from Heald street to the rent vacated by E. W. Maxim on Weston avenue. Archie Speneer will move into the rent vacated by Mr. J Dilworth. Word was received by Madison friends Tuesday of the death of Clayton Crosby in Franklin, N. H. Mr. Crosby was formerly a well known resident of Anson for a num ber of years and moved to Franklin only a few months ago. Lem Adams of Co.

Churchill, who has been working in Boston for the oast six monihs, arrived home Tuesday night for a two-weeks vacation. Messrs. William and O. H. Dil worth went to Belfast Wednesday to attend the funeral of their father Marlin Dilworth. A telegram was received Wednes day morning announcing the death of Mrs. Ernest Brown in .Franklin, X. II. Mrs. Brown is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wixon of this place. FACES TASK (Continued from Page Ona) Announcement from Paris that 1003 prisoners were taken by the French yes terday in operations between the Vesle and the Aisne rivers is significant of the difficulty of getting troops back safely out of an ubandoned fighting line. There has been no hint of a French attack on a largo scale on this front and the Ber lin statements have characterized the movement as a withdrawal. Only a narrow front was involved, yet 2000 men left as rear guards were captured, j To withdraw the whole 230-mile front where the Allied and American forces I are charging forward day after day will be a stupendous task. With constantly increasing superiority of numbers and gun-power resting with Marshal Foch, observers here believe the retreat will be difficult beyond words. There Is no possibility, it was said, of forecasting what may happen. Some officers here j think the Germans figure that surren J der of the coast line will draw the French and Belgian armies in that di rection, thus easing the strain against the Lille triangle of towns long enough to permit them to carry out a with drawal. To the south, another critical situation is developing. It seems cer tain to offset the German leaders' plan of withdrawal from the most advanced j ground they hold about Itheims, gradu ally straightening and shortening their ii nes as they went, and with the move ment screened by a machine gun rear guard battle. l lie British smash north or St. Qucn tin. however, has opened the way to the j valley of the Croise and the investment of I^aon from the north. The fail of Lafere, already encircled on three sides hy the French and the swift develop ment of an attacking line along the hank of the withdrawal, seems immi nent. Already the Germans have given up the high ground just northwest of P.heims that has been their center of resistance on that front. The French row face them for some distance along ;the Kheims-Laon road with open ground iat the Germans' backs. Incidentally an other pocket is developing just east of Hheinis that the enemy cannot disre gard. An extension of the withdrawal to this sector appears a logical process. It would cause little surprise If a wholly rtr asrault developed with the next day or two with the French striking directly northward from Hheims and the lines I east of that place to a junction with the advancing French army west of the Ar "onne. The open ground through which the German retirement must carry them i looks attractive to many observers as the scere of possible open warfare with the odds all on Marshal Foch's side. The situation on the Belgian coast springs up again ths suggestion of a flank at tack by *sea. There was some speculs t on tonight as to whether it might not prove possible to force a landing and as sn 1 the enemy, as reports say ths Ger man seacoaat batteries were being with drawn.

War’s Rapid Changes Frank Slmonds likens tbe military aituation in France and Belgium to the breaking up of the ice in a river in the spring—does not all go at once, but breaks and crumbles in places, opens wider each day, jams here and there and temporarily halting at some points, but the movement ever in the same direction. The real par allel is seen in the German lines, breaking—rapidly in places, slowly in others, but always giving way before the increasing and ever strengthening tide of democracy. He might have used the morale of the central alliance for a similar parallel—ever melting in the hot rays of world indignation and multi plying confidence of the nations sworn to crush the heartless and re lentless Ice of Prussianism. In the news reports of a single day we are furnished mountains of evi dence of the rapid breaking up of the morale of the quadruple alliance —Bulgaria throwing up her hands, ready to comply with the terms of the entente allies. Turkey adroitly asking for conditions that will end her military endeavors; Austria in panic before the inevitable result of an easterly border open to the hosts of her enemies; peace riots in the greatest cities of Germany. Paris, London and Washington •re aware that Germany realizes that the beginning of the end is here. Internal differences in Ger many can no longer be smothered. Violent peace demonstrations in Berlin itself have destroyed the Bulgarian legation and several of the glty's statues. Furious crowds made their wishes known in a manner that •ugurs ill for his majesty, the the atrical advance agent of the world’s most diabolical show Deeper and deeper the allied forc es plunge into the strongest defences of the ’’Hindenburg line." Cambrai, St. Quentin and Laon are giving way. Gen. Foch is turning both east •nd west wings; the whole Hun line is shaking. King Albert is sweeping back the Teuton tribes in his do main. The Germans are plying the torch In Cambrai and other cities, preparatory to evacuation. That is the surest sign of conviction of their own weakness. Thousands of Hun prisoners arc taken daily. German troops and transports are seen mov ing northeast by allied aviators. Al most within sight is a France free from the defiling presence of Huns. South Not Getting Its Share? Sixteen Southern states received from the central government $490, 000,000 in the wny of initial expendi tures for the establishment of can tonments and strirtly war activities, and paid 1291.600,000 by wny of taxes for 1916; fourteen Northern and West ern states received $200,559,000 from the general government and paid $2, 190.000,00') by way of taxes, according to figures compiled by Representative Robbins of Pennsylvania. His evi dence to support the charge of sec tional favoritism may be tabulated as follows. State Alabama. Arkansas, Florida.

The flrst group paid 10 per cent, of the total income taxes and received 71 per cent of the appropriations; the second group paid T7 per cent of the taxes and received St per cent of the appropriations. Group 1 paid one-seventh the amount of taxes paid by Group 2, but re ceived 2 1-2 times more federal pa tronage. True, Louisiana received rather thin slice of pork, but then cotton has been sacrosanct and sky* high ever since the war began. Bear in mind that the establishment of these plants and cantonments means i a ceaseless flow of currency to the counters of the neighboring trades men from the soldiers and laborers. To the South this war has been fi nancially a blessing in disguise, and pretty thinly disguised at 'that. When the war is over the South can let out a few more holes in its belt and ex claim, with Sidney Smith. "Fate can not harm me,—I have dined today.” Mr. Kltchln and his conferee will con tinue to see to it that the cost of the war Is met by the states north of the Mason and Dixon Line. Those are the states whose industries are taxed to the utmost, and are denied protec tion against the vicious competition which is certain to follow peace, un der a policy calling for a removal of all economic barriers, and Europe paying off her war indebtedness with goods instead of gold. Fop This Are We Fighting? J. G. Phelps Stokes, the well-known millionaire Socialist, is so pleased with the manner in which matters governmental are now progressing that he pays the most fulsome eulogy to the “group in Government" in Washington. “The American people, I am convinced," he says, “will give increasing support to our present government in its course of taking over one great essential industry aft er another for public use in the inter est of all the people.” J. G. has been as true a Socialist as a man can be consistent with the pos session of several million dollars. When he pays his respects to the “group in Government” it is because he thinks he discerns the approach ing fruition of all his socialistic ideals, brought about by their sub version of American principles. But is this what the Yanks are fighting to perpetuate? Are we sending from three to five million men to Europe to “make the world safe for democra cy,” and in their absence and non participation by voice or vote in the affairs of their government, is that government to be transformed into a socialistic state in which the indivi dual has no more privileges than had Oliver Twist under Beadle Bumble? Tariff Dodging Just before the war the German Electrical Works, which is one of the largest industrial institutions in Ger many, purchased in Malmo, Sweden, ground on which to erect an electrical products factory for the Swedish market, so as to avoid the Swedish tariff. The war delayed operations, but a report from our consul general at Stockholm states that the factory is to be erected at a cost of over $2, 000,000. Under the Swedish law the factory becomes a Swedish concern provided subjects of Sweden alone are the officers of the company. The capital, however, may be German. This affords a pretty good opportuni ty for dummy directors and nominal officers. It also indicates that the free traders’ argument that the con sumer pays the tariff tax is a little bit shy of logic. Here the manufac turers are to operate in Sweden to avoid the Swedish tariff. Free trade is filled with sophistry. It so happens that the Washington Times, under Brisbane, is the fore most champion of our acrobatic sec retary, iron-jawed dictator, and Pres idential heir-apparent, William G. McAdoo. The Brisbane editorials have made of Mac the sublimated es sence distilled from a compound of Lycurgus, Demosthenes, Horace, Col bert, Napoleon, and Karl Marx, dropped into the mortar of Chaos and ground with the pestle of Time. Bris bane would have us believe that Mc Adoo is as incapable of error as the Japanese believe his official name sake, the Mikado, to be. Now Arthur and his paper look for a disturbing paw’ing over by an inquisite Congres sional committee, demanded by the prohibitionists, who want to know why King Booze is permitted to sup port a royal minstrel at the very seat of government, when we had all been given to understand that the heel of Wilson had bruised the head of the insidious lobby so that it would never rear again. These be retributive days for the worst elements of humanity that have clung together for safety and loot. Speed the end of their career as a world influence.

EXT LESS MEAT IF BACK HURTS Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid neys if Bladder Bothers You Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authori ty, because the uric acid in meat ex cites the kidneys, they become over worked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particular ly backache and misery in the kid ney region; rheumatic twinges, se vere headaches, acid stomach, consti pation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren’t acting right, or if blad der bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidney- will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no lon ger irritates, thus ending bladder dis orders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lith ia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney diseases.—Adv. Maine Gossip The Old Tin Lantern (By S. J. S.) On the gray, mossy wall, so heartlessly thrown With the rubbish that battered its side, Still it lay on its pillow of cold, hard stone— Of the home once the light and the pride, But sweet memory’s bells the deep si lence broke With their tender and sweet thrilling chimes. And I listened entranced, while a sad voice spoke From its dark cavemed walls of “Old Times." How can they forget, when the stars and the moon From their pathway had faithlessly fled. How to quiet and rest of each sheltered home I so faithfully, carefully led. "Oh, the world was so bright! for then I was young And had known not its falsehood and scorn. In the old brown bam then so proudly I hung. Where the young folks werft husking the com. "There were cheeks like the rose, and bright," laughing eyes, Where I read of ‘young love's happy dream'— More plainly it shone than 'neath sun lighted skies, In my rays rom the old oaken beafh. /hen 'Sweet Highland Mary' awak ened the throng. How, with music the old bam would ring. For heart was musician and master of song, And in joy all with freedom could sing." And that was the story the old lantern told When I rescued it from its cold bed: And ever will fancy new pictures un fold In the light that it long ago shed. The banner potato story of the year is being: told in the Saco Lowell shops. One of the war gardeners re lates that he dug from his war gar den a potato which furnished both dinner and supper for a family of five, and then there was enough left for fried potatoes for breakfast the next morning. Police headquarters Monday issued a warning to parents of soldiers to be on the lookout for a man who. calling on them, informs them that their son has been discharged for physical reasons and is not allowed to leave the camp in uniform. Dur ing the last three days the man has secured several suits of civilian clothing on the plea that they were to be forwarded to the sons.—Boston Globe. About a hundred attended the rais ing of the service flag Saturday af ternoon at Locke's Mills. Donald Partridge of Norway delivered the address. As the flag unfurled Mr. Woodsum of Mechanic Falls sounded "To the Colors," on the bugle. After singing the “Star Spangled Banner,” Rev. Mr. Trueman gave an address on Liberty bonds. The flag has 21 blue stars and one gold star in honor of Earl Maxim, who died in France. Other stars are to be added as some have gone since the flag was pur chased. A sad-faced man was wandering through a Portland store, says the Express Stroller, with an anxious, worried look. He strayed into the men’s department. “Are you looking for something in men’s clothing?" asked a polite salesman. “No,” he said, "in women’s. I’ve lost my wife.” A pastor of a Bath church sug gests that in that city and any other places where church services cannot be held, during the present epidem ic home-altars be set up at the time of the usual church service, for special prayers for the afflicted, for the boys across, and the allied cause; and he suggests the reading of John 17th chapter, and the use of the Lord's Prayer. Here is a common bas is on which- all Protestant churches might unite. Dr. Hugh M. Smith of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, who was in Portland officially this week, stat ed that he is fully convinced that people who have never accustomed themselves to the use of gray fish as a food will undoubtedly be con verted In a reasonable time. He said that the fact that it was known by the name of dog fish did not 1n£ire the fish as an article of diet. The fish is in every way adapted for food and all of this talk about it containing certain acids that are injurious to the human system is all wrong.

Feeling Younger I'm feeling younger than I did three weeks ago today, for now I’m classed with the young men who’ll make the Huns eat hay; I know that now my Uncle Sam has got a string on me, and soon I’ll have my Enfield gun and travel over sea. Years ago I shot the Springfield out on the rifle range, but never was so lucky as to even get a change from shooting paper targets which I’ll admit was fun, but never to be compared to bringing down a Hun. Feeling younger? You just bet! and I am anxious for the day, when Uncle Sam’s hand is on my shoulder, and I know he’s going to say: "Take this new Enfield rifle, go along \Hth my brave boys, go to it, lad, kill all you can, get in on the ‘big noise.’ Why shouldn’t I feel younger? I’m no longer forty-three, for now I’m classed with those young men who’re going oversea, and a hap py day 'twill be for me when I get the sights on that new gun lined up with the gray coat of a treacherous, mur dering Hun. Well I guess I'm feeling younger and I should think I might, when I think that soon I may be in this exciting world-wide fight; I feel that now I'm in the class called by my Uncle Sam, to fight the Huns from off the earth—once more I’m a young man.

It's after 8 in the morning, some time to go to bed, but 1 will ex plain. I’ve been workinr nights in the hospital; don’t know how long I shall be working nights, but hope right along as I would rather work nights than days. Everything is fine here. I hope you have heard from me before this as this is my fourth letter I have sent since I have been over here. The only thing I want now is pay day so I can have some pictures to send home. You should see me now sitting on the side of my bunk smoking a nice cigar one of the boys gave me last night. We have a lot of fun here. Sometimes old Fritzy comes over apd pays us a visit, then we have soms fireworks. He doesn’t bother us even if he does fly over us but believe me they give him H— around here. The air is full of big shells. Tell Dad he ought to be here and hear the big guns, they almost shake the buildings. But you people needn’t wor ry, I don't. They have plenty of chances to do us damage but they don’t, guess they don’t dare. Now I will tell you what I want you people to do. Send me some. Sunday papers and the K. J. The papers we get here don’t have more than two or three pages and another thing I want all the news you can think of and send a pic ture of mother and Dad taken together, and tell them to be sure and write as I haven't heard a word from the states. Tell the folks I have been through some small villages where some of the houses were blown all to pieces, but you needn't worry about me because every time they come they keep on going right by and don’t bother us at all. Let me know if there are any of my letters been cut up, that is, any been taken out, because I may be writing something I shouldn't, so if there is any I can be careful after this. Is Herbert still at Camp Devens? Now be sure and write all the news and send the Sunday papers. I saw one of the boys from Gardiner last week; he is driving a truck; he used to drive for the Bottling Co. I think his name is Williams.

George Bush of Fairfield street, Oak land received the following Jetter from his son, Edward Bush: Somewhere in France, Aug. 27, 1918. Dear Father:—I received your letter of July 22 this afternoon and was glad to hear that all are getting along fine. About the time you wrote your letter I was going through real hardships and I remember correctly that was the day that Arthur was gassed. Believe me, bullets and gas were pretty thick that afternoon and evening. The following four days it rained and there I was without raincoat or blanket and very little to eat. I certainly would like to have a picture of the old homestead and also a good picture of the family. Ar thur returned from the hospital three days ago. I saw him only a few min utes as he was in an ambulance, also John King on their way to another vil lage, with the machine gun company. I didn’t get much of a chance to talk with him. He is still in the same outfit, his address is just the same. I have a nice room with a real French bed: how I do hate to get up in the morning. The madame who oyrns the place is about 24; her husband has been a German pris oner since last March. I started to write this about two hours ago, and she has been in here helping me to pass the time. I have quite a French vocabulary now, and if I stay here another two months will be master of the language. I was sick the first two days we were here and the madame waited on me just like a mother. I don't imagine we shall see the trenches again for a couple of months. Hear from Lawrence quite often; expected to get a furlough short ly, so as to ge and see him, but this morning the order has come for all leaves to be canceled for the present. It has been almost a year since I left the states and no furlough yet. They told us we would get one every four months and get seven days. The weather is great. Will close for the present with luck to all. Write often. From your son, Edward. Th« following interesting letter has been received by Mrs. Ethel Smell of Belfast from her brother. First Class Private Elbridge E. Smart of the Amer ican forces in France: My dear Sister:—Just a few lines to let you know that I am feeling as well as can be expected under the circum stances. My lungs are bothering me greatly but I never intend to yield to those Germans. If they can't get me fair and square, my bayonet will carry me through. But no man can stop gas— it is hell. Well Ethel, if I ever return I will never be the same. I would have my picture taken but I am so careworn that you would not care to see it, nor would aunt Ella either. I don’t think I shall go back to the outfit or the front lines again but can tell the world that I have tried to do my bit when I was there. I believe that when I die I shall go to Heaven for I have done my bit In Hell—there won't be any argument when the roll is called. Well Ethel. X don't think brother ■wallow af water.

This board is the only one of its kind in the country and de- j pends upon the public directly for fin ances and for the contributions of ar ticles necessary to carry on the work.

Baking Soda: Most Useful Medicine tonkin*; soda which is known to physicians and druggists as sodium bicarbonate, is extolled by Dr. W. p. Herrick of New York in the Medical Journal ns probably the most gener ally useful of all drugs used as med icines. This not merely because of Its value when used alone, but be cause of the great number of impor tant combinations into which it en ters, its effect seeming to be to in crease the efficiency of the drugs with which it is combined. Dr. Herrick describes the multifar ious uses of bicarbonate of soda. These may be summarised as fol lows: Tt is a valuable skin lotion, relieving Itching, allaying the pain of burns. Tt is a non-irritant antiseptic for wounds. Tn warm water it Is the best method of removing hardened wax from the ear. As a nasal douche It Is unsur passed. As a mouth wash it is antiseptic and alkaline, it cures canker sores. Tt makes a grateful gargle In ton silitis and diphtheria. As a douche for the stomach and other parts It is most valuable. In the stomach it dissolves mucus and neutralizes acids, and ranks first among stomachics. It Is good for the hyprecidity of rheumatic conditions, flatulency, gas tric ulcer, diarrhoea, and increases the alkalinity of the blood. As an adjuvant—which means an addition to any drug In order to In crease its effect— the most valuable of all is bicarbonate of soda. $6000 Worth Of Bargains to select from at the Closing Out Sale of North End Clothing Co.

That is the only way we can account for the wonderful popularity of b LAXO LYN here. Day after day have we published the statements' of pleased residents of this vicinity who have used FLAXOLYN. Now we have the remarkable experience of John Car roll of 179 Middle street. Lewiston. Mr. Carroll has been troubled with indigestion for several years. Here is his story in his own words: “If anybody here who is troubled with indigestion and stomach trouble is doubtful about trying FLAXO LYN. he can look me up and I will tell him personally what condition I was in and what good results I have gotten from it. “I would get such gases in my stomach that it would be sore for an hour after I got relief. Sometimes at my work I tvould get so dizzy that my legs would get weak and I would almost feel like falling over. Sleep was out of the question. I would lie for hours at night without getting a wink of sleep and w-ould get up feel ing more tired than when I W’ent to bed. My appetite was irregular and I would have to be mighty careful what I ate or I would get a terrible headache.

BETIER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets i jr are aHarmlessSubstitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the sub* 6titute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards’s determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy”and "heavy.” Note how they “clear”douded brain and how they "perk up” the spirit* 10c and 25c a box. All druggists. AUGUSTA BOY MADE CAPTAIN CAPT.

VesterUay's sales in this city amounted to only $27,500—and the total for the two days and a half is only a trifle above $161,000. Since Augusta j quota is unknown as yet It Js not possible to say just how much must be subscribed, on an average, to pass the top by the end of the drive. It is fair to assume, how ever, that the daily subscription must be well over $35,000 in order to put Augusta over. The sum may be even higher than that. With $35,000 a day needed and $27, 500 forthcoming it is easy to see that additional pressure will be necessary to put this city over the top on time. True enough, no bank purchases of any importance have been reported as yet. On the other hand sofne of the wealthiest of Augusta's citizens have already made their purchases and have perhaps, gone their limit. And the banks can not be expected to do it all. The people in Augusta mu3t real ize that raising money for the war is a two-way proposition. If the mon ey is not raised by bonds it will be raised by taxation. Col.

In an action of tort against a surgeon for malpractice it Is held— 1. It Is not claimed that the defendant did not possess the ordinary skill of members of his profession in like situa tion. 2. The law required him to exercise that skill and to use reasonable care and diligence in his treatment of the case and his best Judgment In the application of that skill. 3. The evidence does not show that the defendant failed to measure up to the legal requirement in a single partic ular, either In the care and treatment prior to the two operations. In perform ing the operations or in the care and treatment subsequent thereto. 4. A Jury would not have been justi fied in drawing from the evidence an in ference of legal liability on the part of the defendant and therefore the non suit was properly ordered by the pre siding Justice.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S C A SXO R IA INFLUENZA Measures Taken to Prevent It In Augusta In view of the prevailing epidemic of Influenza the Aug usta Board of Health has ordered all places of amuse* ment, theatres, schools, churches, lodges, etc. closed until further notice. Development of Influenza This disease develops in from one to four days after exposure. Nearly ev ery one is susceptible to infection but some cases are mild. These mild cases are just as dangerous as the severe ones in spreading germs. TRANSMISSION“Secretions from nose, throat and air passages carry the^f^ germs. There is little danger of contagion in the open air except in close contact with an infected person. The most common sources of infection are coughing, sneezing and using in common: towels, handkerchiefs, eating and drinking utensils, and school books and pencils. SYMPTOMS—C ommon symptoms are a chill followed by headache, backache and pains in the limbs, reddening and running of the eyes and general weak ness, with fever. These symptoms vary and follow closely those of a severe cold. DONT’S 1— DON’T make unnecessary visits to public places. 2— DON'T travel in closed, crowded street cars when you can walk. 3— DON’T spit on floors, sidewalks, streets or cars. 9 4— DON’T visit or greet cordially, any person show ing symptoms of a cold or grippe. 5— DON’T use common drinking cups, towels or any thing else used in common. 6— DON’T permit elderly persons and children tp come in contact with #any case of the grippe, however mild. 7— DON’T make unnecessary trips to points outside the city. SUGGESTIONS In case of severe colds or grippe 1— Call a doctor if possible. 2— Give patient -a separate room, well ventilated but not too cold. 3— Blow the nose on soft paper or cotton cloth and burn. Handkerchiefs, if used, should not be thrown with other clothes but should be boiled at once. 4— Hold handkerchief before face when coughing or sneezing. 5— Persons attending cases should avoid inhaling breath of patients. 6— The attendants’ hands should receive careful and prolonged washing after every contact with infectious secretions and articles used by the patient. DISINFECTION

No fumigation is needed, but all articles of clothing used by the patient, as well as handkerchiefs and bedding, should be boiled. Rooms should be well aired. Sunlight is Nature’s great disinfectant.
