Technically he violated this statute,

attorney general, that officer had no
alternative under the statute but to

A Warning from the Southwest.

Local interest in the warfare against

A few extremists advocated quaran-

was rejected by the conference as in
advisable at this time. The advocates
of publicity of the fate of poor con-

decided TO call upon the newspapers of
the country to give publicity to the
facts that there are no free hospitals

Gave Them Rope to Hang Themselves

The Democratic claims and boasts
are TO be refuted. one by one, by UNI
assailablc facts. The kennebec Jour
nal already has prepared series Of
irrefutabie articles that will knock
the Democratic economy claims into
"a cooked hat"
We shall publish this series, each
treating some phase of the situation
in so simple a manner as to be easily
understood by primary school chill
dren In their very simplicity lies the
strength of these statements. They
deal with nothing but facts concern
ing the business affairs of the State.
and cannot be denied
Within a few days some of our
Democratic exchanges have attempted
TO befog the financial affairs of the
State and continue To deceive the
people. by declaring that the kenne-
bee Journal had not given ALL the
facts in its recent expose of the falla
cy of Democratic claims. These
democratic papers carried the inn
preston to their readers that we had
withheld facts that made our utter.
aDces misleading although not one OF
these exchanges had the audacity tc
attempt TO deny a single statement
that we made.
Our retort is that If we have NOT
published it ALL there is more Il
follow. and before many moons til,
people of Maine will know the who'll
truth.
We have given Democratic leaders

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown /.

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge OF
complete nervous breakdown 1t
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, I'll Mechanic St, Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years ] suffered from
nervous prostration; / was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies
tried from druggists did not do
me particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
DR.. Miles Nervine
and he procured bottle. After the
first few doses | showed marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles | was entirely cured. | have
been perfectly we'll for years and
cannot praise Or. Miles Nervine
too highly"
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment
DR.. Miles Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders Tor thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
