BATHS RUM WAR.
Civic League Notifies Owners Of Sus
pected Buildings to Beware.

Bath, Me, May l2.-The first gun Of
the long-promised temperance war has
been fired by the civic League, and the
first fOrmalities Of an aggressive cam
paign have commenced. The Civic
League has notified the owners Of
buildings where there are tenants sus-
pected of violating the prohibtory
statute. telling them what has already
been done in the way of serving injunc-
tons. leaving them to draw their own
differences.
These notices have not threatened
anything. but in 4 plain. straight
forward manner quoted the statutes
regarding this matter and must have
proved so effective with one of the
largest real estate concerns in the city.
that one Of their rents which had
achieved quite Il reputation for dis
peneing the ardent. has closed its doors
and the thirsty have been turned away
See. Dunton Of the League says thar
these notices are simple reminder OF
what may be expected ana that II no
attention is paid to them no underhand
business can be brought against the
League members if they so ahead and
do their worst.
That they will, is little doubted. II
is the intention Of the league to make
Bath a dry town and they will direct
their most earnest efforts in this direc-
ton. and as it has accomplished con
siderable in this direction 50 far this
year, more is anticipated.
Sec Dunton acknowledges that 1t VIII
be welI-nigh impossible to stop the sale
Of liquor entirely in this city. for ne
knows that kitchen bar rooms and
pocket peddlng Will be substituted, but
this is dangerous business for the par
tics when they are caught and convict
ed. for when the state gets through
with them there is u chance for the
United States officials to sWoop down
on tine offenders.

A busy city physician, enjoying a

faded from the cheeks? If any of
these conditions are noted. be assured

dear parents, and you alone are re-
rponsible to Heaven and the COM
munity Of which You form a part.
When winter grippe has implanted
seeds of Virulent diseases, the first and
most important work is to cxpcl from
the blood every trace of poison. This is
always successfully accomplished by
the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
This marvellous medicine after puri-
flying the foul and stagnant blood, acts
as a nerve food. 1T builds up the
nervous system and nourishes all the
bodily tissues.
Boys and girls with such start in
life as they always receive from Paine's
Celery Compound, grow up as sturdy
as forest oaks; they revel in strength
and true life: they are fair to behold:
they make the men and women most
needed by our country. Do your part

ness and honesty, and rest assured
