MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL,
@ High ST., Penacook, N. H,
Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-cffects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense OF relief follows their use.
Get a package from your drug

tions, and if it does not benefit
he will return your money.

MORE THAN ENOUGH Is TOO MUCH

TO MAINTAIN health, a mature man
or woman needs inst enough food
to repair the waste and supply en-
ergy and body heat. The habitual
consumption of more food than is
necessary for these purposes is the
prime cause of stomach troubles,
rheumatism and disorders of the
kidneys. If troubled with indiges-
ton, revise your diet, let reason and
not appetite control and take a few
doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets and you will soon be
all right again. For sale by SAT-

THE USES or LENT.

1t is related that the prodigal son
| in Scripture, after he had INDUCED in
riotous living for season, was reduc-
ed to very poor and frugal diet, and
that while he was subsisting on that
diet he come to himself and did some
serious thinking, looking to the amend
ment of his manner of life. If he had
continued in riotous living it is not
likely that he would have come TO
himself or given any thoughts to his
fathers home or to a return to 1t Tor
the purpose OF leading godly, right
eous and sober life. The period OF
forty days OF Lent which began yes
terday, is intended and set apart by
many Christian authorities to give OBJ
portunity for such thoughts as came
TO the prodical son while he was upon
the diet of husks; namely, thoughts
of clean living and of the Fathers

SOMETHING is WRONG.

In a matter that seems 10 be Of
vital Importance to the patrons and
pupils of the high school, the school
board has upheld the teachers in an
action which caused considerable in
dignation among both the pupils and
patrons OF the school. The board took
the precaution TO have the hearing Of
the complaints against the teachers
during executive session and conse-
quently the public is without NOR
NATION as to the real facts in the mat
ter. II would seem that charges such
Z We're brought against the teachers
should have the fullest investigation.
There has been too much complaint in
recent years against just such occur
RANGES as were charged in this in
stance. The public is not informed
as to both sides of the case and there
is more or less confusion as to the
proper view to take of the matter.
When. complaints are made by rep
utoble parents il seems that the board

If he should oyerstep the bounds OF

Ths high school has not good rep

years friction between patrons and

is stopped. and some one placed at the
