The Maine Guard in Camp.

The annual encampment OF the Ma
tional Guard of the State of Maine
finds Augusta extending it's usual cor
dial welcome to our citizen soldiers
The End regiment which arrived in
the city, Saturday afternoon, is now
settled down at Camp Hill for a week,
and when it goes the 1st regiment will
arrive and be With us for the follow
ing week. The city is glad to greet
the soldier boys again and hopes that
their stay here will be one of pleasure
and profit to them all. The Guard is
now in high state of efficiency 1t
was never in better condition, and it
depends much upon this annual week
in camp to perfect it in the drills and
to develop the discipline and the esprit
de corps so essential to success. The
manual of arms can be taught in the
company armOry and Workmanship on
the range, but only by actual camp life
and hard work on the drill field by
company, battalion and regiment can
the men get an idea of what military
life means and what is required of men
in real service. 1t was wise move
which resulted in a week in camp for
each regiment instead of having both
in camp at the same time 1t is pity
that each regiment could not have two
weeks or more in camp.
1t needs no argument to prove the
parts of the country as national re-
serve to supplement the small regular
ton by land and sea. has special need
of we'll organized citizen soldiery,
well equipped and in readiness for SER
vice at any time. The State has good
reason to be proud of the record of its
National Guard and to be satisfied
with its present condition. The spring
and summer of '9S found our Guard
well-prepared for the call to duty.
proved its efficiency to the country and
made us all proud to claim its mem
bers as Maine boys. 1t will be the
same when another call is made. but
we hope the day is far distant when
the scenes of those months will again
be enacted in orr city.

Names Second Old Home Week.

This is the week set apart by
gubernatorial proclamation. in ac-
cordance with the custom so happily
established last year, as Old Home
Week. 1t is a week dedicated by the
mother State which has sent so many
of it's sons and daughters far beyond
its borders to welcoming them back
to the hearthstonc and to renewing in
their hearts and the hearts Of their
children the love of Maine. Happy was
the idea of Old Home Week as concev-
ed among the granite hills of old New
Hampshire. where the third annual
Old Home Week is now being OBJ
served. and Maine which followed the
example of New Hampshire, last
year, and Vermont which follows it.
this year, have established custom
which seems assured of perpetuation
and which will result in incalculable
benefit to the states in question and
to their wandering children.
Here in Maine. and in q large
measure in our two sister states men
toned above. every week in the sum-
mer is an Old Home Week Among
the increasing thousand and thou
sands who come here in the months of
summer and early fall there is a great
number from all over the land who are

ship. 1t has long been so and it is now
so in greater degree each year. 1t is
not the plan or purpose of Old Home
Week to limit to seven days the well
come which awaits the returning ones.
Its main service istO emphasize the
Old Home idea and to impress upon
those who can be here during that
week that all sons and daughters of
Maine, wherever they are and when
ever they come. are always welcome
back; that the mother State loves them
all and is proud of them and claims in
return from them and their children,
loyalty and affection. 1t is fitting that
celebration. reunions and public exer-
cises should mark the week and make
it of importance TO the world in gen.
eral, but the best part of Old Home
Week is in the little gatherings of the
scattered ones back to the old homes
in city and village ard among the hills
of the country towns. Hundreds and
hundreds Of such there are this week
and through the summer. and here is
shown the Old Homc spirit which it is
the aim of this week to develope and
foster.
At Roc<land there will be the most
elaborate exercises of the week, but in
several other cities there are formal
programs arranged Some towns
celebrate their centennials: in others
the old academies have reunions
there are family and regimental re-
unions. Next year other cities. towns
and organizations will have their turn
1t is better thus than to have the WeeL
ril"d with too many or too elaborate
and expensive celebrations w, hope
maj TIER" will he more home conner.

As To Sandals for Women.

1t may he that the sandalcd girl and
woman is to follow closer in the wake
of the bare-headed and barc-armed
girl than. we thought. A few days
ago the Journal spoke of her as a fu-
turc possibility since the fad of wear
ing sandals and no stockings has been
adopted by the society women OF some
of the European resorts. Already the
sandal idea is being much discussed
in this country: several health and
fashion journals have given it the
stamp of their approval. and II is said
that several of the young ladies Of
the Newport 400 have appeared in
dainty sandals of the Grecian type.
without however doing away with
the stocking as at the foreign resorts.
A Chicago paper has interviewed a
number of physicians and society wO-
men on the subject of sandals. Some
treated it as the dream of a dreamer
and others in all seriousness urged
general return to the picturesque and
hcalthful ancient style Of footwear DIR.
Francis Dickinson of Chicago. says
the fad is the most sensible as well as
the latest. and that French heels have
kept a great many women from hav-
ing sense They think they are born
into high heels. and they develop
them. neglecting that part of the
anatomy under the hat. l hope wo-
idea for their feet are causing them
much more trouble and sickness than
they will admit" DR.. Sarah Hackett
Stevenson. another one of the physi-
clans seen by the interviewers. was
simply delighted over the news that
many women were already taking up
with the idea. and she expressed a
desire that the Chicago Women's Club
recommend their use. DR.. Sara Buck
ley also gave the sandal her hearty
support. and said that few people
realize how much their health depends
upon their feet. She added:
Look at the thing from the sani-
tary point of view. Young people are
never still or should not be if they
are healthy: and in this hot weather.
and the hotter weather that will be
coming. the feet will be the part of the
anatomy most likely to be affected.
Now. with sandals. the feet are never
in a damp state, but are constantly
kept dry, owing to the action of the
atmosphere. Thus lameness from
tenderness and other causes is avoid
ed. to say nothing of rheumatism, for
You must know that with the ordinary
boot and stocking it is practically i'm
possible for the perSpiration issuing
from the pores of the skin to evapor-
ate; but. on the contrary. the ankle
and foot are kept in more or less
constant state Of dampness during ac-
ton in hot weather. with the result that
rheumatism is often contracted. and
so strongly that even strong embroca-
tons seems powerlesS To relieve it..
