A VICTIM Of
SCROFULA
Had Large Bunches
Under His Arms.
At Times Unable to Work =:
Many Medicines Failed.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the Great
Blood Purifier, Cured.

HARRINGTON, N. HI had
scrofula, causing large punches under
my arms, which sometimes broke open
and discharged. At times was I'M
able to work; not only were the
punches and sores very painful and
disagreeable, but my health was so
run down that had no strength.
MANY medicines failed to do me
any good, and when a friend recon-
mended Hoods Sarsaparilla I had
made up my mind that nothing could
cure me, and should simply have to
bear my affliction. But Hoods Sarsa-
parilla worked like a charm. It drove
out the impurities or the germs, or
whatever may be the cause of scrofu-
la. The punches disappeared, and
when had taken six bottles all signs
of scrofula had vanished, and there is
not even a pimple or blotch on my
body.
"Of course I am glad to recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla to any sufferer
from scrofula or impure blood, as it
has absolutely proven to be in my case
a wonderful purifying medicine"
Elisha E. Locke.
The great mass of people, as they
themselves say. can not afford to be
sick if compelled to employ physi-
clans and nurses. They are the mil
lions of intelligent, prudent and eco
nomical men and women that have
come to know the great usefulness Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla and other good
proprietary medicines.
Hoods Sarsaparilla effects it's WON
derful cures, not simply because it
contains sarsaparilla, but because it
combines the utmost remedial values
of more than twenty different ingred-
tents. There is no real substitute.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today in the
usual liquid form or in the chocolated
tablets called Sarsatabs.

Things are still coming our way.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1911-11-30

Mr.. c. E. Smiths illuminating letter
on the direct primary law shows how
easy it is for the ''laboring man. to bid
defiance to the bosses and attain office.
He has only to go through practically
two elections and his pocket is safe
guarded as his expenditures are limited
by law Then in case of a tie vote he
can match coppers with his opponent.

THANKSGIVING.

This is Thanksgiving Day. Since the
first Thanksgiving Day on American
shores. when, in 1921. the Massachusetts
colony, at the request of Governor Brad
ford, rejoiced "after special manner
after we had gathered the fruits of our
labors,' the observance of days of
thanksgiving for mercies and benefits
has been frequent. But the day itself
dates still farther back. The States of
Holland, after establishing their free
dom from Spain, had, in the year 1909,
celebrated their deliverance from tyranny
by thanksgiving and hearty prayers, and
had thus really first instituted the GUS
tom of an official thanksgiving. And
the Dutch colonists in America followed
the customs of the Fatherland quite as
piously and fervently as did the English
colonists.
Formerly the churches were open all
day for thanksgiving and prayer, but
feasting was not forgotten. Turkeys,
chickens, geese and ducks were fattened
for the Thanksgiving dinner; roast pig
on all tours with lemon in his mouth
often graced the festive board; there
were big plum buildings, pies with pastry
like STOW fakes, vegetables of all kinds,
and sweet cider to wash down the good
things In the records of Thanksgiving
of the olden days, and even within the
recollection of the writer, sleighrides
and dance were features of the day,
but nowadays the ground is usually
bare at Thanksgiving and even Christ
mas passes before the snow comes in
sufficient quantity to make sleighing.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
From every open kitchen door
A Whit of fragrance flies,
The aroma appetizing
Of tarts and pumpkin pies.
Above the homesteads single roof
The sunset fades away,
And fair and frosty falls the eve
Before Thanksgiving Day.
The children, and their children, too,
By auto, car and train,
happy, laughing, loving crowd,
Come trooping home again,
To wander in the woods and fields
Where once they used to stray,
And with the old folks on the farm
To keep Thanksgiving Day.
Within the shadow of the barn
The latest of the flock,
By lantern-lght is made to do
Obeisance to the block,
And baby fingers, pink and small,
Will with his drumsticks play
A merry measure at the feast
Upon Thanksgiving Day.
In honor of the noble bird
That shares the eagles fame,
Bring out the finest table-cloth
The linen chest can claim.
The best of silver and of glass
In glittering array,
And grandma's rosebud china, too,
Upon Thanksgiving Day.
Lo! from the Pilgrims barren rock
Surrounded with the snow,
The swiftly Fassing years have seen
land of plenty grow;
Tis founded on the loyal love
That brings from far away
The nations sons and daughters home
To keep Thanksgiving Day.
Mirna Irving, in Leslie's Weekly.

The recent unanimous decision Of the
Supreme Court in the matter of the State
printing has again called attention to a
like case of violation of law in this city.
Section 3 of the city charter, after pro-
viding for the salary of the mayor, reads:
Nor shall he receive from the city any
other compensation for any services
by him rendered in any other capacity or
agency.
Chapter 4, section 80 of the Revised
Statutes reads
No member of city government shall
be interested, directly or indirectly, in
any contract entered into by said gov
eminent while he is a member thereof;
and contracts made in violation hereof
are void.
In plain violation of the law, and of the
city charter, the mayor has been doing
the city printing and advertising, and at
his own price.

Potatoes touched the dollar mark at
wholesale in Portland last week and there
is no immediate prospect of the spuds
taking tumble in price. This means a
good deal to our farmers, although many
have disposed of their crops at lower,
but remunerative, prices.

Gov. Plaisted announces that he has
not changed his mind and will call spec
ial session of the legislature in February.
But has he any mind-of his own?
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1911-11-30

At meeting of the Governor and
Council last Friday it was voted that the
Waterville Sentinel should continue to
do the State printing, under contract
that the Supreme Court has declared
illegal and void 1t was stated at that
meeting that Secretary of State Davis
held but one share of stock in the COM
pany, and that was valueless. Mr.. Davis
was admitted to the Maine Press assoc
iation last January, his application stating
that he was the publisher of the Water
vile Sentinel. The Supreme Court after
reviewing the facts in the case came to a
unanimous decision as stated above. The
Governor and Council, regardless of this
decision, and on the statement of inter-
ested parties, continued the contract.
Higher prices for shoes are predicted.
Now, all kick.
