AUGUSTA TO WASHINGTON BY AUTO

A ride from Augusta to Washington
on the new auto stage line managed by
the young son of Hon. Joseph William
son of Augusta, was one Of the recent
delightful experiences of the writer.
The distance is some % miles and through
a country where every moment brings to
view some new and interesting object.
The start is made from the Augusta post
office in the early morning and in short
time we are whirling past the Togus
ponds and on towards Windsor Corner.
This is nice little hamlet where all,
even to the spirit of man, is more or less
divine. From there the road leading to
Cooper's Mills, in Whitefeld, is taken
and in another half hour that hustling
village is reached. Grassy Pond lies lust
beyond, and then we whirl through Ra-
zorville, the home of Pearl ingalls,, one
of the heroes of the old Eighth Maine.
Only two miles more and Washington
village, the ultima thule of our pilgrim
age that day, was reached.
Tender memories are there, for it was
in that town where several years of the
writer's boyhood days were passed, and
there many of his earliest and warmest
friends still reside. Among these were
Hon. L. M. Staples and James L. Burns,
both of whom were there to extend a
cordial welcome that summer day.
Washington is one of the old towns
of Knox county and has long been
noted as one of the best. 1t is located
in the extreme northwestern part with
its adjoining towns of Somerville and
Jefferson lying in Lincoln county.
Here are two splendid sheets of water
known as Washington and Clark 8 Ponds,
and from these the Muscongus and Dam
ariscotta rivers take their rise. Here,
in the extreme northwestern part of the
town is the great hill known locally as
Patricktown mountain, an elevation that
rises several hundred feet above the sea.
Here, also, are primeval forests, through
whose dark shadows silvery streams are
leaping onward to the sea, and here in
these cool retreats the tired worker of
the city may find surcease from toll. A..
grand old town is Washington, and one
that is worthy of the name it bears.

A TONIC FOR GIRLS

Girls who study hard or work hard,
who grow pale and thin, who come
home from school or shop too tired to
do anything even in tie way of amuse-
ment-these are the girls who will get
most benefit from a course of treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. No medicine ever offered the
public has been such a boon to suffer-
ing women and girls as this tonic
remedy. These pills are not a mere
stimulant, giving temporary relief; they
build up the body anew by making
rich, red blood that imparts splendid
health, brightness, cheerfulness, energy
and ambition.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills begin their
work of improvement with the first dose.
The first sign of improvement is usually
an increased appetite, the absence of
distressing symptoms alter eating, more
refreshing sleep, a better color in face
and lips. These are signs that pure rich
blood is now circulating through the
body and that, with this necessary as
sistance, nature is etfecting cure.
Mrs. John BRANDON, of r. F. D. No.
s, Harbor Beach, Mich, who was cured
by these pills, says:
II began to be anemic, while in
school, for the hard study and confne-
ment caused me to become run down.
I suffered from severe headaches and
such dizzy spells that l could hardly
walk. could not sleep at night and,
although Iwould get hungry, could not
eat without distress. My heart flut-

''For two years I tried many doctors
and medicines but without much help.
At last | began to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and soon my blood became
rich and pure, my heart strong and
felt better than in years. l continued
taking the pills and was cured"
There is new strength for tired girls
and women in Dr. Williams Pink Pills

and the continual backaches. They
