West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and 1t Is now two years
since she was first tHien with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In month she
would have the spells again. AT these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites OF
her eyes would be yellow.
''The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally. when she is
not feeling we'll Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed tho advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain and

When speaking OF Nat Goodwin
and his beautiful wife, Maxine Elliott,
It is always tho question whether to
call the other Mats wife or Maxine's
husband. their fame being nearly upon
par.
One day in New York when Max
Inc Elliott called at the downtown
theater for her husband, as the ia
nous comedian stepped into the auto
the colored chauffeur turned around
and said:
Shall we go home now, Mr.. FL
liott?"
Goodwin was wild. 81 knew 1t

come. May use your name on my
advertising paper, dear? Nat c..
Goodwin, the husband of Maxine FL
]iott, will appear and SO on. 1t would
make big hit and mean lot Of
money"
Again, while In Chicago playing in
"The Usurper," Mr.. Goodwin's busi-
ness was very bad. Miss Elliott, in
Her Own Way" was to follow her
husband at the same theater. mad
when she entered the dressing room
the first night she found the following
message scrawled upon the soap upon
the mirror: "Do your best, Max. You

FORESTS DUE TO THE FoGs.
Peculiar Conditions Found to Exist In
the Conuo Valley

A peculiar climatic feature exists
in the southern part of the Congo val
ley for 10 degrees south of the equa.
tor. The rivers and lakes are found
to be bordered with dense vegeta.
ton, which extends out from the wa
ter distance proportioned to the ex
tent OF the water surface. Adjacent
hills and mountains are often covered
with dense vegetation on one side
and are bare on the other. Beyond
this bordering vegetation there are
plains, almost treeless or with small
scrub growth and thin grass.
The explanation is given as fol.
lows: From May to October there is
dry season, with hot days and fair
ly cool nights (often 80 degrees Fahr-
enheit.) The evaporation Of the day.
time is followed by condensation into
fog at night. This fog moistens the
country adjacent to the water sur
faces and causes a luxuriant growth
OF vegetation. The morning winds
blow the fog against the exposed sides
OF hills and mountains and up the val
leys Of tributary streams. Wherever
the fog Is not carried the country Is
dry.
The natives reflect this character
istic OF their hills by shaving off their
hair from one side of their heads.
Dense forests are found where the
fogs prevail, while out Of range Of
this moisture there is only a sparse
vegetation.

The Peoples Schools.

The schools belong to the people
and will be what the people make
them. 1t Is mistake to suppose that
school officers and teachers are the
only ones that have to do with the
making of the schools. The people
set the pace for the teachers and
school officers. ]f a school officer
does not meet the ideals of the people
he is turned out at the first election.
If teacher does not meet the ideals
OF the people the teacher is quickly
reached through the school officers.
So 1t gets back to the people in the
end. The man that thinks the schools
are not good enough should set him
self about having them improved. II
is astonishing how much one person
can do to improve the schools when
he sets himself about it.-Henry f.
Thurston.
