Cults of Saco, who for IL years repre-
sented Maine, then a part of Massa-
chusetts, in Congress, and who married
a sister of dolly" Madison, the famous
wife of our fourth President.
Coming down to more recent times to
write of the early temperance advocates
in Maine and also of the Washingtonian
movement, the Sons of Temperance, the
Good Templar order and other temper
ance organizations in our State l will
close this article by adding that among
our earliest temperance advocates in
Maine was Rev. Daniel Lovejoy of AL
bion. He was a man of much talent
and sterling worth, and strongly opposed
the sale of liquor. His famous son.
Elijah P. Lovejoy, was also a strong
advocate of temperance, and was born
on the old homestead in Albion in 1902,
graduating at Colby College in 1926 and
at Princeton Theological Seminary in
1888. This famous son of Maine often
denounced the liquor traffic, as we'll as
the slave traffic, as ''tWin relics of bar
barism." He was the first martyr to
American freedom, and the glory of his
name and fame can never die. Some
years ago while in Albion I embraced
the opportunity of visiting the humble
home, which has since been torn down,
and in which the famous man first saw
day. Weeds and thistles had gathered
everywhere about the premises, the fields
once cultivated had grown to bushes; but
the same sweet sky smiled over the his
toric spot as in the days long ago when
he whose name became one of the most
lllustrious in our history played in happy
childhood, and people who saw him then
little dreamed that in after years he
would become the fearless champion of
the slaves and the first martyr for the
cause of freedom in the United States.
AS | took my last look at the ancient
house it emphasized in my mind the
great possibilities of American citizen
ship and l could only recall those beauti-
full lines of Homer:
Like leaves on trees the race of man is found,
Now green in youth, now whitening on the
ground:
Another race the following spring supplies;
They fall successive, and successive rise:
So generations in their course decay;
So flourish these when those are past away"

STATE D. A. r.
Annual Meeting to Be Held at Bath Early
in March.

Annual Meeting to Be Held at Bath Earl
in March,
The annual meeting of the Maine
State council of the D. A. R. will be
held in Bath, March 3rd and 4th, with
Col. Dummer Sewall chapter. AS this is
election year, both in the State and Ma
tlonal officers, there is great interest
throughout the country and the dedica-
ton of Continental hall will undoubtedly
bring out great gathering in Washing
ton. The only national candidate whose
claims have been set forth as a worthy
follower of Mrs. Donald Mclean is Mrs
Matthew T. Scott of Illinois. Mrs.
Scott is sister of Mrs. Adlai E. Steven
son, who was been on the national board
for several years and has done splendid
work as chairman of one of the national
committees. She is woman of wealth,
social position and brains, and her
chapter are asking the support of the
chapters throughout country. 1t is
quite probable that Maine will go unin-
structed as on formar occasions, as it is
difficult to say what complications might
arise in Washington
The term of the State regent in Maine
is limited to two years, and Mrs. Creigh-
ton is no longer eligible for reelection.
She is Thomaston woman and has been
most satisfactory officer both in State
and National work. She is woman of
striking beauty, a fine presence, and
has enthusiasm, a knowledge of the
work and plenty of tact, so that she has
made herself popular with the organiza-
ton at home and in Washington. The
only candidate for State regent whom
any chapter has named as yet, is Miss
Louise Coburn Of the Eunice Farnsworth
chapter of Skowhegan. Miss Coburn is
chairman of one of the State committees
and is one of the Gov. Coburn family
She is highly educated, having had the
advantages of travel, and she is great
reader. She was the founder of the
Skowhegan chapter and is much interest
ed in all historical and genealogical mat
tiers.
Mrs. E. M. Farwell of Rockland was
one of the candidates for the State vice
regent and she had been endorsed by the
Portland chapter, but she may change
her plans. Mrs. w. C. Robinson of
North Arson, one of the most patriotic
and energetic of the Maine daughters,
has been placed in the field by the North
Arson chapter. She has been instrument
tai in arousing an interest in that vici-
nifty which has resulted in the forming
of three chapters, one at North Arson,
one at Scion, and one at Madison. Mrs
Robinson has travelled a great deal and
recently returned from trip to Seattle,
where she was guest of the Lady Stir
ling chapter.
The Col. Dummer Sewall chapter of
Bath has candidate for the State vice
regency in Mrs. Morse. a Bath woman,
whom her friends feel is in every way fit
ted to take this high Office. Mrs Creigh-
ton will be the guest of Mrs. Elbridge
Allen, the regent Of the Bath chapter,
while she is in that city. There will be a
large delegation from Portland. Port

RETURN OF THE WRECKED

Republics" Grew Show Need For Emer-
gency Aid. Over Thousand Dollars Out
fits Shivering Sailors in Night
New YORK, February 18th. That hus-
bands and fathers have just been restor-
ed to "a wives and 139 children at the
sunken steamship Republic" in Liver
pool has been reported at the headquar-
tiers of the American Seamen's Friend
Society in this city. This census of the
home folks who so narrowly escaped
becoming widowed and fatherless was
taken when over hundred of these ship
wrecked seafarers focked from the
Baltic to the new Seamen's Institute
here; sick, half naked, penniless and
barefooted. Only by quick application
of an emergency fund of some twelve
hundred dollars were they able to send
them on their home voyage, clothed and
shod, the officers of the society declare.
No shipwreck in the present genera
ton has demanded such immediate and
extensive measures for relief as that of
this big ocean liner, it is asserted by ex-
pert workers of this seamen's organiza-
ton, which has for eighty years succored
stranded survivors Of ocean disasters in
forty of the principal ports of the world
as well as in this city. While a thousand
dollars was spent by them during the
year 1908 to set on their feet the victims
of the coast wrecks about this port, they
say, more than this same sum was re-
quired in one night to provide the men
Of this one ships stoke hole and fo'castle
with the clothes to their back Only by
the fortunate chance that its $500, 600
Seamen's Institute had just been opened,
and by the instant contributions of scores
of its friends here, was the society able
to relieve the crowds of shiyering sea-
men, who came trooping to it's doors
from this shock of the seas that had left
them without money or employment in
foreign harbor
To fit Americas chief seaport with
ready refuge for such stranded outcasts
OF the ocean, the officers of the Ameri-
can Seamen's Friend Society have decid-
ed to appeal to the people of every sec
ton of the land for fund to be devoted
to just such emergencies as the sinking
of the Republic" In every town in
the country they believe the families and
friends of seafaring sons will readily
lend hand toward providing means to
instantly succor the victims of future
great sea tragedies. Where established
Red Cross and relief organizations make
the shores of other countries thoroughly
prepared to care for large companies of
stranded sailors, America is today sadly
unprepared, they believe the recent
wreck OF the Republic has shown.

The Uric-O Treatment Expells the Poison

From the Blood.
Those sharp, shooting pains through the
chest around the region of the heart mean
that poisonous uric and rheumatic acid are
there ready to spring and grip tightly the
muscles controlling the hearts action. Don't
neglect these warnings. You must neutralize
and drive these dangerous poisons from the
system, or sooner or later they will overcome
you.
The only true way to cure Rheumatism is to
get at it from the inside with Uric-O 1t acts
with marvellous swiftness upon the muscles,
kidneys and blood Cleans out the sand-like
deposits in the muscles, forces the kidneys to
perform those duties for which they were de-
signed and neutralizes the acid within the
blood.
Drico-O is liquid taken internally, times
daily, and does not contain any morphine,
opium or other so-called "pain- deadners.'
