"The Instinct of the American peo ple. I believe, can be trusted to thwart the insidious plans of these enemies of liberty, who, if given their way, would jiot stop short of a ty ranny which, whatever name it might hear, would leave little room for preferenec as compared to Prus sianism.” "It is regrettable but it is true, that governmental! enterprise tends con stantly to Inefficiency. It cannot fail to he observed that even in connection with the war, despite the endeavor and patriotic impulse of countless workers, inefficiency in important fields of activity has been notorious. The notion that tltc con duct of business by the government tends to be efficient is a superstition cherished by those who either know nothing of government or who know nothing of business. The tendency is strongly, the other way. "Along with this is the grave ques tion of putting the direct operation of these great activities unnecessarily under political control. That is the most serious question. The dove-tail ing of government with business is apt to injure both.” “It is undoubtedly true.” he con- j tinned, “that whenever during the; war extraordinary powers were fit- i tingly exercised and governmental control was assumed for war pur-1 poses, tlie readjustment to conditions j of peace must be. effected gradually j and with the circumspection essen- tial to the protection of all the pub- 1 lie and private interests involved. But. the immediate purpose should be to readjust as soon as may be, not to use war pow-ers to control peace con ditions. a proceeding essentially vi cious and constituting the. most s« (Continued on Page 2, Col. 8) Mob Amuck inEsch Crowd of Thousands Cuts Loose on Shops of Town i IN REVENGE OVERCHARGING i AMERICANS i Finally Dispersed by Four U.

J.—(By the Associated Press,). —Four American soldiers dispersed a mob of thousands at Esch after it had wrecked 2s shops in revenge for the j overcharging of Americans. Most of these establishments were conducted by Germans. The loss is estimated at be tween -'.OyO.OCO and 7.000,000 francs, i The trouble began when a soldier was charged two francs for a cake of choc olate? and the same amount for an apple. The J-uxemburgers. who long have pro tested against high prices, resented the overcharging of their ••deliverers.’' They entered the shop, destroying its contents. Someone raised the cry to wipe out all German establishments, and tlie mob soon grew to thousands, who began systematic destruction. A department store owned by a Hol lander was wrecked and he reported liii loss to his government. He was the j only foreigner other than Germans1 j hose property was attacked. The anti-German spirit was supersed I cd by ordinary mob enthusiasm, and the destruction finally was extended to shops of I-uxemburgers themselves. Two American lieutenants who arrived I while ttie campaign of destruction was at its height called upon four enlisted j moil to arm themselves with broken boards and disperse the crowd. The sol (tiers shouted to the excited men and I women to go to their homes and they dispersed quickjv, accepting the com i mand without question, i Ultimatum. To Hun Govt.

The total, which exceeds that made public a week ago by 28,000, covers all loss to November 26. The principal change in the revised list is the addition of 13,100 men missing in. action. General Pershing, it was said, has thus far forwarded no explanation of the increase under this heading, and j it was assumed that an error occurred in transmission of the previous figures. General March explained that the re vised figures on prisoners could not be decii hered in General Pershing's mes sage. The special units to embark soon con sist largely of coast artillery brigades and separate regiments, many bat talions and batteries of anti-aircraft ar tillery. engineers, trench mertar bat teries and a number of other arginiza tions, including aero squadrons Orders have been issued, the chief of stall' also said, for the remobilization of 619,000 men in the camps and can tonments in the ITnited States.

Christmas Roll Call for Red Cross Membership to Start I Soon-50 Million Wanted! Boston, Dec. 1—Two weeks from tomorrow the Christmas roll call of the American Red Cross will be launched in Boston and New Eng land. as well as throughout the rest of the country. And in the week that follows from Dec. 16 to 23, every man, woman and child in New England will be afforded the opportunity of answering the Christmas roll call by the payment of 31, no more and no less, and thereby becoming a mem ber of this wonderful organizaztion for the coming year. This campaign is distinctly a membership and In no sense a money campaign. It lias as its mean, its only purpose the secur ing of as large a membership as pos sible. In the smaller membwship: campaign of a year ago "the Christ mas roll call idea had no then t>een evolved. Something over 25,00t>,euU m0.000,000 would closely approxes the “universal" idea when it is borne in mjnd that there is a junior organ ization for the children, although children will be permitted full mem bers in this campaign* if parents so desire. Members of the army and navy will not be permitted, even though their membership is none the less welcome.

On the eve of his departure for France, the President will go to the Capitol shortly before 1 o'clock to de liver his annual address at the op ening of theh Third and final session of the Sixty-Fifth Congress. Few utterances of the chief executive have been awaited with keener interest and congressional officers said to night that never before has there been such a demand for admission' cards to the House galleries for a joint session. Some congressional leaders say the appearance of the President may cre ate something of a sensation and that then again nothing may hap pen. They are certain however, that soon after the President speaks there will be spirited discussion in botli Senate and House of his plans for the trip, if they are revcoled and of any proposed action on problems coming before the peace conference. General and virtually daily debate in the Senate also is expected while the peace delegates are sitting in Paris. Many members of both Sen ate aniT House privately criticize the President for his dtcision to go to France and also for bis failure to include a member of the Senate lit the American delegates but none of them will speak for publication.

Nov. 30.-(By the Associated Press).—Dr. Alfred Treichl managing director of the Anti-Austrian Bank, which has a working capital of $30,000,000 and branches throughout the former Austrian empire, in aii inter view today with the Associated Press said: "The biggest question the world >s now facing is whether the free trade or the high tariff principle shall be ap plied between the nations and in par ticular what the United States will do in this respect. On this questions de pends certainly the economic prosperi ty of former central empires and pos sibly their political happiness. The di mensions of war certainly have been too great for Austria. We are overloaded with war debts, though it must be re membered they are largely internal, with two or three billion crowns owed to Germany and also small loans ob tained in the United States before that country ceased its neutrality. One prob lem we are 'acing is for. each of the new republics to make up its debts so that It will know where it stands. Never in history, however, has anyt people been crushed by debts, but If we can produce we can pay back all our debts In 10 years. But the great diffi culty is how to start production. “What we need in Austria first is food* so that we can keep order, and than' rap,- materials for manufacturing which are in the hands of our former ene mies. “The important point is will the Unit ed Slates send us raw materials against a loan, i say the United States be cause it lias copper and cotton, and no body on earth can do business without American cotton. Since the war Ameri ca lias increased the number of her factories. Now. will she insist on sell ing finished products to us? If so. that will be the cause of a still greater con tinental crisis.'' If tlie United States and the Allies wish to prevent such an economic crisis, leading to political ones too, it will be neceessary to give us the means of production.

SPANISH INFLUENZA Do Not Fear When Fighting a German or a Germ! By Dr. M. Cook The cool fighter always wins and so there Is no need to become panic etrtcken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex ercise in the fresh air and practice the three C's: A Clean Motith, a Clean .Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry olt the poleons that accumulate within the body and to ward off an attack of the influenza bacillus, take a good liver regulator to move the bowels. Such a one ia made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of Jalap, and is to be ..had at any drug store, and called ‘'Pleasant Purgative Pellets." If a bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap up well, drink freely of hot lemonade and take a hot mustard foot-bath. Have the bedroom warm but well ven tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug utore "Anuric Tablets" to flush the kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an “Anuric” tablet every two hours, together with copious drinks of lemonade. If a true case of Influ ence, the food should bo simple, such as broths, milk, buttermilk and Ice-cream; but it is important that food be given regularly In order to keep up patient's strength and vitality. After the acute attack lias passed, which is generally from three u> seven days, the system should be built up by the use of a good iron tonic, such na “Jruutic" tablets, to -d>e obtained at some drug motes, or that well known blood-maker and herbal tonic made from roots and barks of forest trees—sold everywhere os Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery -Adv.

The adults were full of praise for the handiwork of the members as shown by the re markable display of the canning club, for the poultry club, the pig club, and the garden projects, ‘both large and small. The meeting was presided over by the school principal, Thomas C. Chaf fee, and the speakers were A. L. Deering, farm agent of Kennebec j county, Hon. Charles H.

AMUSEMENTS Big Production Tonight, Child Artiat in “Haarts of the World.” Children of the stage and the mo tion picture are ever a constant won der to grownups. The latest juvenile wonder to he seen on the screen is Master Ben Alexander, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Alexan der of Pasadena, California, who ap pears as The Littlest Brother in D. \V. Griffith's "Hearts of the World" at the Coliseum, Gardiner, for three nights and one matinee commencing today, Monday. Dec. 2d with matinee on Wednesday. This little fellow, so small that he appears almost p. babe in arms, truly is a wonderful child actor. While "Hearts of the World” has been a tremendous triumph for Mr. Griffith, i for the beautiful Lillian and Dorothy Gish, and for its managers, Messrs. Elliott, Comstock and Gest, surely when the final score is counted, all who have seen this remarkable pro duction will give credit to little Ben as being wholly worthy of the Order of Merit and the War Cross of brav ery. This little chap accompanied Mr. Griffith and his company to France and to the battlefields, where, within actual range of the giant guns, he proved himself as brave as any of his older associates, acting his beautiful scenes often during bombardments by the Germans. In one scene especially this tiny youngster risked his prec ious life to help in securing a very vital situation in the story. In this scene, by a fortunate circumstance, little Ben was unharmed when buried under an avalanche of plaster and laths. When audiences look upon this scene and see the tiny actor buried under the wreckage..there is a catch at the heart strings, for to many it appears as though he were caught in the awful holocaust. When the dirt is dug away and his little form moves the audience sighs with relief on see ing him blink through the dust and filth. And when he looks up and smiles, showing that he is unhurt, there is a general feeling of gratifica tion. All this and more is brought out so remarkably by little Ben that it is difficult to believe he is of such ten der years. His emotional acting is equally unusual, and ho never fails to bring tears to the eyes of his audi ence when, with his own little cheeks wet with the tears of sorrow, he bids farewell to his big brother who is go- Johnson Opera House MONDAY AND TUESDAY DOROTHY GISH in “BATTLING JANE” (Special) and DOROTHY DALTON in “GREEN EYES” (10 Reels) "THE CLUE BIRD” has been booked for this theatre Monday only.

It has occurred before, he said, that people who had secuied a certain amount of freedom in their own coun tries were forced to yield, or yielded voluntarily those rights at the'peuce table. He asserted that when the Senate ratifies a treaty with another country provisions of such a treaty become a “supreme" law, and lie said that the working classes of America, who had succeeded in gelling some j excellent laws on the statute books, would 6ce to it that none of these rights were taken away at the peace i conference. ■WOMEN GHOULS WORKING UNDER I GUISE RED CROSS New York, Dec, 1.—Warning was is* sued tonight against women ghouls wearing Ited Cross bands who obtain money from relatives of dead soldiers i by informing them their loved ones have not been killed bui will' retufh home if provided with transportation.; Another gruesome means adopted to ou tain money is to inform parents of sol diers that their sons' bodies are in morgues at army camps and will be sent home if funds are provided.

Young Winslow was a corporal in the New York Guard, 27th Div., 107th Inf., Co. I„ and was killed .^cpt, 29. The hews was received on Thanksgiving day just as the family were sitting down to dinner. Mr. Winslow, receiving the wire, did not tell them until after dinner and the family had gathered about the Are for the evening when he broke the sad news. Corp. Winslow is survived by two brothers. Edward, also in France, and Chase of Elizabeth; also by one sister, Mrs. Allen Myers, formerly Miss Theo dora Winslowf Hoth Mr. and Mrs. Winslow are former Belfast people, Mrs. Winslow the daughter of the late Capt. George W. Chase. The Winslow children frequently visited in Belfast and are well remembered here. The last of the Christmas boxes for overseas were shipped Saturday by City Clerk C. S. Bickford, who has a record of 70 packages forwarded to Hoboken. In cases where families of boys over seas had received no label, a label and box were provided and It is hoped that every 3elfast and Waldo county boy has been remembered. Xaturally many of the packages will not reach the boy t whom it is sent, for many will be homeward bound before the Christmas ship is half way across the ocean, but j no one has wished to take a chance of j missing a boy who will be on French, English, Belgian. Italian, Austrian or' German soil, and so every one whose; address could be obtained will have a; box started to him, at least. Cecil Clay, court stenographer for As-! sociate Justice George E.

CONY PLAYS A SCORELESS GAME WITH GARDINER Saturday Afternoon on the Reuel Williams Field—Mud Prevents Many Good Gains— Game Interesting Throughout and Well Attended Tlie Cony High and Gardiner Hig i football teams met for a second time this season, Saturday afternoon on the Reuel Williams field, and the re sult was the same as In the previous game between the two teams on Thanksgiving Day at Gardiner—a scoreless game. The field was cov ered with mud which prevented either team from making ninny good gains, but nevertheless the game tin interesting. There ivns a good at tendance. The game was largely one' of punt ing. neither team being especially anxious to try to advance the ball In the mud. The Gardiner team gained the most ground. Twice dur ing the game Cony's goal was In danger, onee in the second quarter when the Gardiner backs brought the ball up to the Cony 10-yard line and again in the third quarter when Gardiner had the ball on Cony’s one yard line. Sn both of these instances, however, the local team showed its strength and the line held strong. Captain Redman and Toas played especially well for the Cony eleven while for the visitors Leighton, left half back, played a fine game. A third game between the two teams Is likely to be played and al though the arrangements have tint been made It will probably be .played this week, either Wednesday or Saturday, and may take place at Hallowed. The Saturday game opened with Cony kicking off to Gardiner, but the latter team was unable to gain and punted. The punt was caught by Plummer. Cony full back. Capt. Redman and Toas advanced the ball ■even yard* hut the backs could not make further gain and puatad. la a number or rushes featured by a 15-yard run by Leighton, the Gardi ner backs advanced the ball about 25 yards. Cony held at that point and received the ball oa downs. Plummer punted to Leighton of Gardiner who ran the ball forward Id yards, and about the close of the first quarter Gardiner punted. In the second quarter after both learns had punted several times, a fumble by Cony made it Gardiner's bnll on tba Cony 20-yard line Leighton advanced the bull eight yards In a rush through the center, nnd 'Hidden- Gardiner quarterback, gained two yards. A trick ploy Aid not wbrfc and Gardiner's try for a forward pass failed and the ball went to Cony on downs. Capt. Ited man advanced the hall six yards. Toas made a gain of four yards, and Plummer punted to Gardiner, j At the opening of the second half I Gardiner's kickoff was received by Cnpt. Kedinrm of Cony who ran the ball forward seven yards and in another run made four yards. The hall w-as exchanged several times In punts. Tlie Gardiner hacks then got busy and pushed the ball toward the Cony goal. McMullen, fullback, made a gain of in yards, bringing the ball to the Cony 10-yard line. Per ry, right half, made a gain of four yards around right end and Leighton carried the ball to the one-yard line Gardiner could not gain anoth er inch and the Cony team got the hall on downs and punted It out of i danger. In 1110 last quarter of the game vary few gains wore made by either I team and the ball w as constantly ex l changed by punts. The summary '■GNV HIGH. GAltLHNKK HIGH.

The civil service hoard has been rendered absolutely innocuous. Who Pay* for Political Propaganda? "In one governmental activity the Socialist regime In Germany shows nn efficiency rivaling that of the for mer autocracy,” says the Phlladel I iiia North American. "Its propa ganda machinery la elaborate and is being worked with persistence.” And we find a close parallel here In the United States under the present ad miniatration. If there is one thing that functions persistently and proltflcally. It Is the administration's propaganda machinery. Tons upon j tona of publicity matter are dis tributed throughout the country tell ing the virtues of the Wllaon admin istration. and sometimes printing ab solute falsehoods in dental cf Its shortcomings—the airplane dory be ing a typical example. Secretary Itedfleld has a publicity bureau which hums Industriously day In and day out. Mr. Hurley, of the shipping board keeps his publicity bureau go ing full tilt; Pacifist Maker has a rhoir of minstrels to sing of his hr role deeds: Messrs. Hoover and j Garfield waste slathers of good paper i xliorting the people to save food and fuel, when high prices bring the necessity for economy home in a much more practical way. if anyone will pay a visit to the Treasury De partment in Washington, and go into the basement, he will find a huge' loom in which 60 or 70 employees are gathered whose function it is to com pile, Collect, create, revise, edit, ex pand, distribute, disseminate, and j diffuse news, information, anecdotes, and fabrications concerning the i ould-be heir apparent tp tlie White House Throne- William (5.

Maine Gossip The Carillons (Marion Couthouy Smith of The Vigi lantes) In Belgium, at dawn of day. There comes a thin sound, far away. A silver thread of sound, that runs Through the dark thunder of the guns. Like the soft tread of ghostly feet. Like distant voices,—poignant, sweet— The carillons—the carillons! In Belgium, through the silent hours. They beat about her ruined towers. Those wings of unforgotton song; Like whispers of a rustling throng. Like twitterings of a waking bird. Or leaves that forest winds have stirred. Ghosts of dead 'ells—the carillons. What wakens them?- oh. watchers, say! The long night wanes, the dawn is gray; The torn roads echo with the beat Of rumbling wheels, of marching feet. And, through the darkness, sudden gleams Flame to that music of old dreams,— Tlie carillons—the carillons! t What are those red and golden bars That kindle in the dusk like stars. There—where the mad invaders flee? The flags of Belgium, ruing free! Soon their full glory shall untold; And soon, though softlier than of old, Hear tones shall ring. Sad hearts shall sing,— Tlie carillons—the carillons! The government is releasing many of the tug boats that it took over for use in various lines after the declara tion of war. The boats will be placed in the best of condition and returned to their owners. Not a few were en gaged in the coal towing business in tlie New England trade and it is more than likely that the coal supply in this section will bo greatly increased. Coal shipping facilities have been greatly reduced and with the new or added service it appears that Maine will be greatly favored with much needed supplies of hard coal for the winter. The famous Bangor Scotch whisky case did not come to a hearing in the United States district court at Port land Friday forenoon as agreement was reached between District Attor ney Merrill and Attorney General Sturgis to carry the case over to Dec. 10 and to institute proceedings in equity rather than to proceed as was intended. Thifc legal tangle involves the own ership of 96 cases of Scotch whisky which was seized by Sheriff Thayer in Bangor several weeks ago while it was in the freight shed of tlie rail road, being in transit from the Chi cago to the Bangor custom house. It is in the custody of the1 State al though a restraining order has issued so that* the goods are being held, pending a decision as to the rightful owner and whether or not the sheriff exteded his authority in making the seizure. District Attorney Merrill in behalf of the government seeks to have the goods restored to the government while Attorney General Sturgis rep resents the State in support of its servant, Sheriff Thayer. A telephone message from the Eastport police was received by the Bangor authorities on Tuesday, re questing them to detain Carroll Sears and Anna Gallant of Eastport, on the arrival of the night train from Wash ington county. Deputy Sheriff John D. McCart of Eastport, who was on the same train with the eloping couple was also notified and when the police of Bangor held up the runaway pair the girl was turned over to him, the man being allowed to continue on his way to Boston, whitherfthe pair were bound. Miss Gallant was taken to the Pe nobscot Exchange by Deputy McCart and was held there under the watch ful eye of a guard, until Wednesday afternoon, when she was escorted back to Eastport by the deputy. Both elopers are wsM known in Eastport where their escapade created some thing of a sensation. Sears, who is married and has two children, is 31 years old, while Miss Gallant is only 16. The disappearance of the couple was discovered some time after the train left Eastport and prompt work by the authorities there, aid-?d by the Bangor police, completely upset the plans of the pair. The annual meeting of Maine Con ference Woman’s Home Missionary Society, which was to have been held at Chestnut street church, Portland, Dec. 4 and a, has been indefinitely postponed. The Oakfleld correspondent of the Houlton Times reports: Fred R. Corliss who bought the O. L. Within farm in Sherman, raised this year, some crops that any farm er might well he proud of. From 23 acres planted in potatoes he raised 20G(t barrels, :ut average of 133 bbls. to the t^ere. From a measured acre planted to Wellington’s he raised 171 barrels. On the 23 acres he used 21 tons of 4 per cent fertilizer. Al though stationed at Fort Slocum in the U. S. Army he came home on a 3 months furlough and harvested his crop and on his return he was sent to Camp Forrest, Ga., where he now is. A howl of protect has gone up from the Eggcmoggin reach and Bluehill bay towns at the announcement that boat service from Rockland was to be discontinued for the winter, says the Ellsworth American, whiclrcontinues: It is understood that the Boston-Ban gor and Rockland-Bar Harbor routes are to be discontinued. Boats are the only means of communication to many of the Hancock county coast towns, and a taste of what is in store for them was given by the ice em bargo last winter, when freight had to be hauled long distances from Ells worth over almost impassable roads. It looks like an opportunity for some wide-awake men to establish auto truck and jitney routes from Ells worth. In many sections of the coun try where there is as much or more snow than here, roads are kept open to automobile traffic by breaking down the snow w’ith large rollers built for the purpose. These rollers, some twelve feet wide, go over the roads after each snowfall, light or heavy, crushing down the snow. It is stated that roads so treated bear the traffic of ten-ton trucks, except in thaw ing weather. I Miss Edna Walker of High street received the following letter from her cousin, Edward R. Gray, who is a wagoner in the Evacuation Am bulance Co. No. 9, Medieal Depart ment: Sept. 30. 1918. Dear Cousin Edna:—As X have now been in France about a week I thought I would endeavor to give you my first impressions of this country.. Of course everything is much different than in America, by that I mean older and more out of date. The buildings are made either of stone or cement, wood only be ing used for the doors and shutters. The railroad cars and engines are much smaller and less powerful than ours and of course travel much slow er. They still use the hand brake to stop the cars. A train resembles to a certain extent the toy engines and cars one buys at Christmas time. They seem to prefer the high wheels for some reason or other. The farmers stack all their hay in their yards in great piles. They don’t seem to bother having a barn, because possibly of the high cost of I building, the horses being kept in I a leanto on some side of the house I in which they live. The horses and I cattle are fat and slick and at all j times treated with respect, almost as one of the family. I was surprised to see so many cattle in the fields. I had supposed being at war so long j that they would be about all used j up as beasts for the army. The peo ple and the different towns that we passed through gave one an impres sion of poverty. There are no extras or luxuries. The stores are very small. The trolley cars are smaller even than the first cars that we had made years and years ago. These observations are made from 1 two or three small cities In which I have been and may bo entirely wrong, as X approach the larger cities things may appear different. I There is one thing that impressed me particularly, even while I was still on hoard ship in the harbor, and that is the amount of work that the XT. S. Army is doing and has done in I France. All that one seen is store house after store house and supplies of all kinds. The camps cover acres and acres of ground and everywhere you go are soldiers, thousands of them. When that next Liberty Loan drive comes around tell your friends not to ask questions, but just give. If they could see just, the little X i have seen they wouldn't ask any more The army needs all the money it can get and it is being well ex pended. When I write again I will try to give you an idea of how the soldiers are living and of how they are be ing cared for. I am feeline fine, get my three square meals a day, sleep tip top on my straw mattress and In i fact am having so far one fine time. Yours truly, EDWARD R. GRAY.

BOYD AVOIDED AN OPERATION Canton, Ohio.—“I suffered from a j female trouble which caused me much I suffering, and two I doctors decided that I I would have to go through an opera tion before I could get well. I "My mother, who t1 had been helped by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound, advised me to try it before _ submitting to an "operation. It relieved me from my troubles so j T can do my housework without any difficulty. I advise any woman I who is afflicted with female troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial and it will do as much for them.”—Mrs. Marie Boyd, 1-421 5th St., N. E. Canton. Ohio, j Sometimes there are serious condi I tions where a hospital operation is I the only alternative, but on the other j hand so many women have been cured by- this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta i ble Compound, after doctors have said j that an operation was necessary—ev j ery woman who wants to avoid an i operation should give it a fair trial i before submitting to such a trying ordeal. If complications exist, write to i Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., j Lynn. Mass., for advice. The result I of many years experience is at your 1 service.—Adv. THE TONIC FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE _ How Undornouriohod N*rv«« May Bo Built Up and tho Whoio Norvou* System Strengthened and Revitalized Nervous people who have not yet developed a disease that can be rec ognized and treated by the medical profession have the greatest trouble in finding relief. Irritation, headache, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, all these discomforts make life miserable but are endured rather than run a doctor’s bill without definite hope of recovery. Every sufferer should know the danger of such a condition of the nervous system. Nervous debility and even paralysis may easily result if the tone of the nerves is not re stored. After suffering from nervousness for fifteen years Mr. H. H. Emerson of No. S26 Baker street, Dover, N. H., j found relief by building up his blood. Mr. Emerson says, "I was so nervous j that I could not do a day’s work without being all tired out. Bleep I was almost impossible as I woujd roll i and toss all night. I was a nervous wreck. "Very often 1 had bilious attacks j and severe sick headaches. A sharp pain in my left shoulder and a dull 1 pain across both shoulder blades caused me much distress. My blood was thin and impure. ‘‘I had taken a great deal of medi cine but had not been helped. An article in a newspaper brought Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to my attention and I decided to try them. “By the time I had finished two boxes I knew that I was being helped My nerves are quieter than they have been in years. I sleep well and am refreshed by a night's rest. My gen- j eral health is good. “I have great faith in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and am glad to recommend them to any one needing a tonic for the nerves.” The first thing to do when threaten ed with nervous trouble is to stop the c'use of it, if possible, whether it is irregular living, worry, or whatever it may be. Then the nerves must be given special ncjrishment and the blood must be kept pure and rich. This is the mission of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and this is why the pills have been used with such great suc cess in nervous trouble that did not yield to ordinary methods of treat- ment. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their nourishment from the blood, have been found invaluable in a wide range of diseases of the blood and nerves, such as rheumatism, after effects of the grip and fevers, neural gia and nervous debility.

At a recent dinner Postmaster Gen.! Burleson was commenting on the effects of the three cent postage. In addition to the increase In revenue, which was sadly needed, the innovation has been a positive boon to many, he declared and; explained thus: I “You seem very happy,” I remarked! to a young lady of my acquaintance. "I am,” she replied. “Has Fred been paying you more at-' tention lately I ventured. "Not exactly, but since this three ce.it1 postage came in, he has slopped writing to a lot of girls out of town.” A War-tike Crop It was inevitable that Cartoonist Her-! riman should initiate tyis favorite crea-; tions, Baron Bean and Grimes, into the mysteries of the war garden. Grimes j is pictured as puzzled over a strange' series of popping sounds from the Baron's back yard. "I wonder what it is," lie exclaims. "It’s pop-corn, you skwint. if you want to know,” replies the Baron. "Why don't you plant something more peaceful asks Grimes. "This is a war garden. Ole Dear.” is! the Baron's retort, as he playfully hammers Grimes over the head with a rake. PITTSFIELD Among the young men in the ser vice who were home for Thanksgiv ing were Lipwood Bussell and Guy Shaw of the University of Maine and Edward Pelley, who is stationed at Fort Williams, Word has been received here by Miss Ida E. Grell of this town of the j death of her nephew, Lieut. Stephen Schwab, late of New York City, who was killed in battle somewhere in France. Sept. 29. While Lieut. Schwab j was only 25 years of age he had been j a member of the old 107th regiment of New York City. He received his commission as first lieutenant only one week before his death. His moth- j or recently received word that Lieut, j Schwab had received the French cross of honor for personal bravery. Lieut. Schwab's mother and family arc prostrate with grief at his early death. Corp. Laforest McCauaJand, who has been at an officers’ training school in Lee. Va., is the first Pittsfield boy who enlisted in the service to receive i his honorable discharge and arrive home. He is in town for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sumner McCausIand, Pleasant street. Mrs, Sarah Patten and daughter, Mrs. H. V. Mathews, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Itoss Henderson and other relatives in Bingham. Mr. and Mrs. Porter Moulton of j Bucksport and Mrs. Mary Stuart of j Biddeford passed Thanksgiving in i town, the guests of their parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Moulton, Grove street, j Harold Taylor and Herbert Reilly j QUIT MEAT WHEN KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back Hurts or Bladder Troubles You No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by; flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meatj forms uric acid which excites the; kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get 3ick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, fiver trou- j ble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepless ness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys- or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any har macy; take a tablcspoonfu! in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize tha acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness. Ja& Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer vescent llthia-water drinlj which ev eryone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and j the blood pure, thereby avoiding se- j rtous kidney complications.—Adv.

Men’s Club of Universalist Church has Organ* ized and Financed a Non-sectarian, Non political Community Forum Movement First Speaker Will Be Heard Sunday Even ing, Dec. 15, and Thereafter Every Sunday Night An adjourned meeting: of the .:ewly j organised men’s club of the Wlnthrop Street tTniversalist church was held Sunday evening, at which much en thusiasm was manifested over the es tablishing in Augusta of a branch of the Open Public Forum. The an nouncement was made that many speakers of national fame would be secured and that the most advanced thinkers would at various times oc cupy the platform. It was stated that Dr. Brewer Eddy, one of the most famous army and navy layman, novS-tnon-wedifri.lmo NEIL O'BRIEN Famous Comedian with his tjlg Minstrel Company at the Opera House, Thursday, December Itb, i workers, the one man ct all who has made a distinct study of the morale ef the troops, will he one of the speakers this winter. Another pros pective speaker is Singar Singarb.tr, a native of India, who lias been studying American customs and who comes with a message from the East. Other men well known on the plat form will be secured. It is expected that arrangements will be perfected with the Economic Club of Portland, the monthly meetings of which arc addressed by the foremost speakers of the country, to have the speakers re main over Sunday and speak in Au gusta's Forum. A short organ prelude and perhaps selections by soloists or quartets will precede the meeting which will begin at 7.30 o'clock. The movement is absolutely a com munity one, no admission is charged, it is absolutely non-sectarian and non-political. Following the lecture will be a question period. Those who have at tended Forum meetings in other States realize that this question per iod is one of the most interesting fea tures of the session. The Forums will probably begin Sunday evening. December 13, and continue until the last Sunday in March, 1919. The Forum movement has spread throughout the land. In cities like Boston 8. 9 and 19 of the Forums exist, in New York some 25 are held every Sunday night with the most tremendous and intense interest. The same conditions exist in the smaller communities where these Forums j have long since gained a place in the interest and affection of the people for which nothing else could be sub- stituted.

Mr. Smith, the newly elected president.

His recent removel from Portland to Augusta resulted in his resignation from the presidency of the Congress Square Associates. His election as president of the Augusta Forum was entirely unexpected and occurred during his absence from the city. He is the insurance commissioner of Maine.

Melntire Bon Boothbay Harbor—Held Saturday Before j Chief Justice Cornish at Court House Hearing was held before Chief Jus- tic© Leslie C. Cornish Saturday fore- i noon at the court house on the peti- tion pf the P. B. Higgins Co., a cor- 1 poration doing business at Baothbay Harbor, asking that the Commission of Sea and Shore Fisheries restore its li tense which had beeh revoked by the commission on Nov. 19, 1919. At- torney General Guy H. Sturgis ap- peared as counsel for the commission i and Cyrus R. Tupper of lloothbay J Harbor for the petitioner. The F. B. Higgins Co. set forth in its petition that on Dec. 1, 1917, it was given a license by Commissioner of Sea and Shore Fisheries O. H. Dun- i bar for buying and selling lobsters of legal length as provided by the laws of Maine; that on Nov. 19, 1918, it received a letter from director of Sea and Shore Fisheries H. L. Sanbbrn. j stating that its license was revoked that day but giving no reasons for revoking t,he license; that neither th“' corporation nor any cf its servants. agents or employes have ever been found guilty of any violation of the i provisions of the law relative to the lobster industry by any court of competent jurisdiction; that in Octo ber last a complaint was made by John F. Whalen of Rockland before the Rpckland municipal court alleg ing that F. B. Higgins had in his pos session at Boothbay Harbor in Sep tember last, 48 lobsters of less than four and three-fourthB fnches in length; that after a warrant had been issued Mr. Higgins was arrested and j taken to Rockland before the Rock- I land municipal court; that Mr. Hig- I gins filed a demurrer and claimed that the court had no jurisdiction I over the offense, but presented no evi- i denee relying wholly upon that claim; that the demurrer was overruled and sentence imposed; that an appeal was i taken to the supreme court to be held j in Rockland in January. The petitioner further set forth that 1 on Oct. 20 last after the ^ase had been appealed and before final judgment, I Mr. Higgins received a letter from Director Sanborn stating that if the fine Imposed by the court was not paid that his license would be re voked; that it alleges thnt the license was revoked because Mr. ltiggins re- j fused to pay a fine before final judg- nient bad been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction: that if the courts of Knox county have jurisdic tion over this offense no full hearing can be considered to have been held until the appeal is disposed of; that on Nov. 19 last it petitioned the com mission to grant it a hearing and to restore its license; that the commis- j sioa refused to grant a hearing and refused to restore the license without j a hearing; that the corporation has a large amount of money invested in lobster pounds, etc., all of which will become a total loss if the license is not restored. Jn conclusion the petition stated that the Commission of Sea and Shore Fisheries have erred in their conclusion of facts, and prayed that the court order a hearing on the peti tion and that its license might be re stored. Testimony was given at the hear ing by the petitioner, Fred B. Hig gins. Chairman H. S. Crie of the Commission of Sea and Shore Fish eries. and H. I>. Sanborn, director of sea und shore fisheries. Mr. Higgins stated that tne cor poration usually did a business amounting to 530,000 to 530,000 a year, but that the business was lighter this year. and«that the corporation usual- ly sold from 130,000 to 200,000 lobsters j a year. He testified regarding the seizure of lobsters declared to be J short, which he had bought for le- j gal length lobsters, but said that the wardens did not find any fault with his way of doing business. And he testified regarding the matter before the municipal court and the letters he had received, as set forth in his petition. Mr. Clio stated that he was present when the seizure was made from the corporation and that of the 260 lob sters examined 48 were short. He stated that the federal license did not include lobsters and he alBo tes tified regarding the regulations sent out by the food administrator. Mr. Sanborn, director of sea and shore fisheries, stated that he had revoked the license of the F. B. Hig- I gins Co. and had notified it to that effect. He had revoked the license be cause the corporation had violated I •the law. The facts in the case of a petition of L. M. Mclntire Son were practi cally the same as in the Higgins mat ter and both cases were heard by Chief Justice Cornish. Chief Justice Cornisli sustained the petitions in both cases because the licenses had been revoked by the di- J rector of sea and shore fisheries on the ground that the petitioners had been convicted of violating thfe law. Chief Justice Cornish held that that meant that the conviction was In a court having jurisdiction over the of fense and that while the Rockland municipal court had jurisdiction over the violations of the lobster law it did not have jurisdiction over viola tions under other sections of the j statutes. Therefore, there had been ,no legal conviction and the license should not have been revoked. The petitioners in each case agreed to pay fines for short lobsters found and the director of sea and shore fisheries agreed ti> issue licenses to the petitioners for the ensuing year.

Jto\5,dtc» of one. of the lost states in the unibn, l to adopt a larger unit to bear the bur- j den of providing for those needing j institutions and fare. That tiie town- ship method of almshouse control is I now waning in popularity here as elsewhere and is doomed to an early disappearance is manifest from in ternal evidence. “There arc in the state of Maine £0 cities anf 404 towns and plantations, but the total number of city and town almshouses is 140. so that only one town in three or four maintain an almshouse. "Of the 140 almshouses now in ex- J istence. 14 are closed or rented out with no contract to board the poor therein, while L’4 others are operate mainly to keep the poor from apply ing for relief, and have no inmates. Those who are being boarded by these towns are boarded elsewhere than in the almshouse. only tnror aimsnouses in me mate those at Portland. Uangor and Low- iston, have enough inmates to justify their separate maintenance from the I viewpoint of economy. The small! population in the remaining alms- i houses is dearly an argument in fa- j vor of consolidation. Omitting the I’ortland. Bangor and Lewiston almshouses, and alsd t hose j that are dosed, the average number j of inmates in each almshouse that Is j run is about four. In other words, in 1215 nlmshouscs there are 246 em-j ployes and 474 inmates, which is an absurd proposition of employes to in- mates. It might appear that certain ooun- ties have no need of an almshouse be- t cause there are so few paupers. But the use whicli the different towns are making of their almshouses is no in dication of the size of the pauper problem in those towns and counties. There is no doubt but that with equal care, several paupers can be boarded together cheaper than they ran he hoarded separately. The number ful ly supported, namely. 2,802, which is 2,000 in excess of the number, sup ported in almshouses, shows clearly j enough why the town pauper bills are so large. Certain of those fully sup- j ported arc children, who would in no case, except in infancy, be proper subjects for an almshouse, but de- ducting the children, there are proba bly more than 1.500 persons in the State who would be suitable for ad mission to county almshouses.” Fish and Game The commissioner of inland fish eries and game lias been notified of the following violations of the fish and game laws and settlement there for.

Harris of this city I that a tragedy was averted early Sat urday afternoon on Water street a short distance north of the Allen building on the east side of the street. Dr. Harris was coming down the j street in his Super-Six Hudson cab- riolet at about b* o'clock, and just as i the car passed the Folsom candy store j three children made a dash from the sidewalk to run across the street. The pavement was slippery from water from the street sprinkler and the approaching automobile was so near the children that it would have been impossible to stop it before it should strike one or more of the youngsters without probably fatal re sults, and acting on the instant in order to avoid striking the children Dr. Harris turned bis ear short to the left and toward the curbing on the east side of the street. In doing so the ear struck a Ham standing in front of the 5 and 10-cent store and owned by Kugenc t'ottle of North Manchester, demolishing Ihe wagon and turning the horse attached to il completely around. The horse went ion to ihe sidewalk and was starting to run away bin was captured before ihe had time to get underway. •lust behind 1h J. Druery; ward clerk.
