WHEN THE BODY AND BRAIN are well
balanced the stomach is capable of restoring
the waste; but when the brain is large in
proportion, the stomach is incapable of sup
plying it in other words, the expenditure is
too large for the income. Here lies the cause
of so much suffering from Diseases of the
Heart, Liver, Stomach and Lungs, which is
produced by taxing the Nervous System too
severely; and Fellows CoMPouND OF HY-
PoPHosPHIrEs is the only preparation known
which imparts this vitality directly, and con-
sequently the power to overcome disease.

The Cold Water Temple at Hallowell made
choice and installed its officers on Saturday
evening, the list of whom is as follows:
Chief Templar, Mr. c. f. Sawtelle.
Vice g Miss II. f. Berry.
Past % Miss NJ. f. Lowell
Chaplain, Mr. G. W. Strout.
Secretary, Miss n. +. Thomas

Marshal, Mr.. F. w. Farr.
Assistant Marshal, Miss L. S. Horn.
The membership is now nearly one hun
dred, and the prospect of future prosperity is
encouraging. The weekly exercises will con-
sist largely of the presentation of productions
on the subject of temperance, either by speak
ing, reading or singing, by means of which it
is expected to inculcate right and strong prin-
ciples in the minds of all the members of the
Temple If we are not mistaken, there is ex-
tensive need of much of this kind of work in
many places in our vicinity. If among the
young is not the place for establishing princi-
Piles of the right stamp, pray where is it? And
yet many hold in little esteem, operations of
this kind But the children are going to be
the men and women some day.
