THE ORDERS
II ~ ~ III AeAAA|
Bangor, Me, April, 1901


Bangor, Me, April, 1901.
General Orders, No. ,.
Comrades: The nations Memorial
Day is close at hand. Let us in most
fitting manner make the services of
Memorial Day as impressive AS possible
with patriotic utterances, sweet music

is known as Memorial Sunday and it is
the practice for posts to attend divine
service on that day. Let this practice
be carried out by every Post in this De-
partment, and 1t is urged upon all Post
Commanders that 1t is their duty to get
a full attendance of the comrades and
march to the church In body.
The Woman's Relief Corps and the
Sons of Veterans to whom we owe and

Trusts, Distrusts and Mistrusts.

| The connections of the various Trusts
with operations outside the Trusts are
many. For example, the directors of the
Standard Oil Trust are in turn directors
of SO other companies, banks, railways,
mining and other interests. Thus we
begin to see something like afliction of
finance, production and distribution
that s, the spread of federation 10 the
union Of Trusts to control funds, manu-
facture and railway and steamboat dis.
tribution. For illustration, we have the
Maine Ice Trust buying up tugs and
steamships. The Portland steamship
lines, it is said, are being bought up by
railway interests, so that as far as posi-
bic, competition by water can be elimi-
mated from competing with the railways.
The Steel Trust now owns railways,
mines, furnaces, steamboat lines and has
bought up the Leyland 81 Atlantic Trans
port lines Of foreign steamers, with the
view of making the power of the Two
Billion Dollar Trust international. This
expansion of American shipping and of
the carriage of American commerce
under the United States flag certainly is
a good service rendered by the Steel
Trust.
Meantime, we have new Steel Com
bination Of 30 millions to compete with
the Steel Trust. In the presence of
these great movements, the public is
dazed, not knowing what next to expect.
Then we have the Bath Iron Works join
ing the shipbuilding trust aimed to en-
able the builders to fix the prices of
building Uncle Sans warships-thus
putting Uncle Sam himself at the mercy
of the Trust. All these efforts to put the
buyer at the mercy of the seller are the
natural reaction from the opposite evil
of cut-throat competition, putting the
seller at the mercy of the buyer. Let us
not fret overmuch-selfinter after
much suffering and loss, will work out
the problem. That this may come
through self-regulation rather than
through bankruptcy of the Trusts, in a
great industrial reaction and erisis-is to
be desired; but the Common Stock crime
so far is uncommonly in evidence in
these proceedings-the substance of
common stock being wind and water in
jected in the hope the public will meekly
stand being overcharged to create ficti-
tious value on the good will of decoy
ducks. - LeluiStOn journal.

APPETITES
Created and Maintained
by Vinol.
THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST
ED Is ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol IS the greatest aid to digestion
that We have ever known
It's because Ninol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that IL accomplishes
30 much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-lver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and q good appetite is the
sure result
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which 1t con
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself: =
"This is to certify that l have used
six bottles of Ninol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. | have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that | gladly furnish this testimonial
In order that others may be induced to
give it a trial and prove to themselves
Its recuperative powers. "--MRs. E1Iz-
ABKTH FEENEY, Waterbury. Conn.
We want every one in this place TO
know more about our VinoI, how it
cures and what 1t cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuiIder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon US, and
we want all to bear In mind that we
will gladly refund to any one who is
not satisfied with the action of VinoI
every cent they pay for 1t.

The war that England has been con-
Quoting in Africa may be good lesson
for all nations TO consider, showing as it
does the cost of war in these days. The
conflict in Africa has not been on the
scale that European war would be, but
it has already cost $3.50. 600, 600. or twice
what the Crimean war cost. England is
q rich nation and can stand it perhaps,
but the taxes are heavy. and the people
will not want to stand much more. No
nation will be in hurry to GO war, for
it will not take very long one To make
such an expense as will embarass the
richest of them. II is the most money
that does the business, and If England
gets into debt over this war up 10 the
limit, she will have TO keep the peace for
a good many years before she will De in
a condition to carry on another.

One of our best authorities urges that
the colts be not shod too early but given
their work at walk. He says: Il
want them walked, very fast. 1t is the
best muscle-making exercise that can be
given to horse or a colt Strange to
say, however, one sees but few good walk
ers on the road. Evidently the craze for
speed dominates and the one desire is 10
test possibilities with little regard to de-
velopment of muscle fibre. 1t is not ex-
cessive exercise which develops. but mod
crate, and the walking gait is more valu.
able than any other A fast walker is al
ways free roadster and a free roadster
will always please the public Give more
attention to the walking horse

State Bank Commissioner Alsaugh
says there never was so much money in
Kansas as at present. The bank vaults
are loaded with the profits of diversified
farming. The farmers are raising more
wheat and corn every year more alfalfa,
fattening more hogs and cattle, the price
of land is increasing and the farmers are
getting better prices for everything they
have to sell. They are getting more for
eggs and butter than ever before.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth Of implements are being sold 10
the farmers every season. All values
are on the increase, and the banks are
full of money. The most shiftless are
living well and the industrious are get
ting rich. No such plenty was ever
known before, and it seems like
healthy condition.

A little statement just issued by the
United States treasury department show

students of political history. 1t shows
that the national debts of the world in

fury having only made start at the
work of bodybuilding. But the wars of
Napoleon tripled that total so that in
1920 the sum was $7,299. 100000. The
next "a years was not an era of war and
the national debts swelled but one-sixth,
reaching $S,4l9, 045,0 900 in 1913. By 1862
this had increased over 80 per cent. t.
$l3, 1872 S75, 900. The increase by 1872
