TO ILLUSTRATE is TO EDU.
CATE.
Better Understanding Gained from
Subjects Where Pictures Explain
the Main Features.

s Beginning with the infant class in
our public schools. the pupils are
taught by means of pictures. As they
adyance to higher grades, Illustrations
are still used as "object les
sons and even in the higher
grades the text books are illustrated
for the purpose of more clearly setting
forth the intended meanings. College
and university cHrricula compromise
hooks in which the subject matter IS
made plain by pictures, and All seien-
tifie and technical work everywhere. Is
accurately demonstrated by diagrams
and drawings. Almost all of the peri
odicals. including dailies, weekiies and
montIllies. are Illustrated. and many
books Of fiction also use Illustrations
which bring out particular points in
the text
II has been left to the publishers Of
the Bible which the Kennebec Journal
is distributing, to illustrate this great
est 9f all historical and educational
works. The publication Of this Bible
was undertaken with full knowledge Of
the fact thai there were already in ex.
istence a considerable variety of emil
nentIy satisfactory editions. some Of
them possessing a degree of merit that,
would seem To render Improvement i'm Il
possible But all of them, superb
though they are, lack one Important
feature. viz: direct and helpful illus
tration. The New Illustrated Bible
supplies this deficiency. In IL the other
essentials OF perfection have been re-.
tained-the typography. mechanical
execution. self-pronouncing features.
marginal references. colored maps. etc,
being unexcelled by any other edition:
while the hundreds of original text IL
Illustrations give to ii a distinctive
character that entirely separates il
from all others.
This Bible is not a mere picture
book. lit is 4 high art production. The
600 illustrations are from original
paintings and drawings which consti-
tute wonderful gallery OF art. To this
branch Of the work were called tho
greatest of living artists, and it is to
their intelligent conception of the work.
and to their mastery skill in the por-
trayal of appropriate scenes, that the
peculiar excellence of this Bible is
mainly due. Every picture is a COM
plete study in itself, Events that have
been imperfectly comprehcnded become
invested with the charm OF living real
itN: and places that have seemed far
off are made familiar, as though we our
selves had tired the hills and valleys
with the prophets and disciples of old.
This really superb edition has an edu-
cational mission to perform. in illunli-
hating and yivifving the Bible narra-
tive and giving it, as never before,
present, living, human interest.

working girls friend, and all women who
suffer should write to you for special

When a remedy has lived for over
thirty years, steadily growing in popu-
larity and influence, and thousands upon
thousands of women declare they owe
their very lives to it, is it not reasonable
to believe that it is an article of great
merit?
We challenge anyone to show any
other one remedy for special class OF

many years as has Lydia E. Pinkham's

Action by Friends of Two Bat
tIeship Program Expected.
PLATFORM PLANK IS KUGATORY
Word from Democratic Candidate
Might Do Much Toward Secur-
ing Change from Cau-
Gus Decision.

Washington, July 10. - Convinced
cratic platform means nothing and
was intended to mean nothing, friends
of the navy are quietly preparing to
ascertain the personal views of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson on the battle
ship question.
This decision was reached as a re
suit of Representative Underwood
invitation to Governor Wilson, follow.
ing his nomination at Baltimore, to
make known to the house leaders his
views on pending legislation if he SO
desired. The governor, it is report
ed from Seagirt, will take advantage
of this offer and express himself
frankly regarding what action con
him and the party in the campaign
next November.
Friends of the navy are planning tC
appeal to Governor Wilson to take ed
vantage of this opportunity before him
and urge the house leaders to revoke
the decision against battleship APP
preparations for this year. 1t will be
pointed out to the governor that there
are many Democrats in the house who
would welcome an excuse to vote for
battleships this year, but feel they are
bound by the house caucus decision
against them. A word from the par
tvs candidate, the governor, will be
sufficient to release the votes, gain
many more, which, with the Republic.
an support of the two battIeship pro
gram, would be more than sufficient
to carry the program.
There is considerable uncertainty
as to what Governor Wilson's opin.
ions on battleship construction are. AS
far as is, known. he has never de-
clared himself en- naval questions.

George Klein has again departed
from the county Jail without giving
the keeper the slightest intimation of
where he is going or how long he will
be gone. This time it was not the
cupola window through which he
made his escape, but more sane and
brilliant getaway was carried out.
Klein knew that Schram, the desert
er who was brought from North Free
dom on Monday night, was to be
taken on one of the midnight trains.
Thus Klein placed pillow in his bed
to deceive the officer and awaited the
hour. When the sheriff unlocked the
iron doors and summoned Echram to
prepare to leave, Klein stealthily
crept from one cage to another, lodged
the sheriff and was soon free once
more. The prisoner was missed shortly
after and search was made at his
home on the southside and the trains
were watched but nothing has been
of him.
