Much interest is being shown in the
series of class basketball games which
is now being held In the first games
the seniors defeated the sophemores
by a close score and the juniors had
no trouble in winning from the
freshmen. The next games of the
series will be played Friday evening.
The senior class plans to run a series
OF informal dances after the games
each Friday evening.
The track situation is rather uncer-
tain. this year, owing to the fact that
Maine suffered severely from a loss
of men at graduation last spring.
There is a large number of men now
out for the team but they are. for
the most part, green men and their
ability is unknown.
From now on weekly meets will be
held between the four classes. Coach
Smith is now devotng the greater
part of his time to the training of the
relay team for the Il. A. a. meet in
February. Among those who are
showing up well as varsity candidates

Debating is again coming to the
front as Il student activity. For the
past few years Maine has had no de-
batting team. Last year beginning
was made and the two lower classes
had good teams. This year the three
lower classes have taken it up and
interolass debates will be held during
the winter. 1t is hoped that before the
season is over representative college
team may be organized Plans are

league. Several schools have already
signitied their intention of entering.
The annual catalog of the Uniyer-
sity is now out and gives some inter-
eStins figures. The total number OF
students is 500 which is a Slight in
crease over last year. The college of
Agriculture shows an increase of 50
students. the college of Technology a
decrease of IS. the college of Arts and

tuition the exclusive judge of the cleo

nit with him without such resigna-
ton, or can adiudge such officer

The third question was answered in
the affirmative. The justices stated
that it had been repeatedly held by
the courts that an office holder by
accepting an Incompatible Office,

CAUSE AND CURE
OF DYSPEPSIA
Thin Blood to Blame in Many
Cases and a Blood Tonic the
Right Remedy.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition of the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for large
part of its nourishment; while every
act of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause of indiges-
ton is anamia, or lack OF blood. In
deed there is not single disturbance of
the health of the body nor any form of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure in
digestion than plenty of pure, well-ox-
idized blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People increase the red corpus
cles, the oxygen-carriers OF the blood,
until the blood is rich and red. A
thorough trial of these pills gives a
hearty appetite, perfect digestion,
strength and health.

dress is Box 432, Olyphant, Pa, says:

Court in Similar Case.
Three Justices Who Answered Ques-

10 A M

The question of whether Chairman

mission has vacated his Office as d
member of the Legislature by ac-
cepting the position, which he is now
holding. was the all-absorbing topic
of conversation at the State House,
Thursday. The case of Hon. Leroy
r. Carleton of Winthrop, who was a
member of the Inland Fisheries and
Game Commission from 1896 to 1910
and who was also a member of the
Legislature from the Winthrop class
in 1901 is being cited in connection
with the present situation
The question of Com'r Cartoons
eligibility to sit in the Legislature was
submitted to the Supreme Court near
the close Of the session. That tri-
bunal did not return an answer until
Dec. of that year and when 1t did
so the court divided. five justices re-
fusng To answer tie questions sub
n4itted upon the situation, on the
ground that a solemn occasion did
net exist and that the questions were
not of sufficient Importance. Three
members Of the court filed a dissent
ing opinion, answering the four ques-
lions submitted, in full. In answer TO
one of the questions submitted the
three justices held that when APP
peintee To the office Of fish and game
commissioner was member Of the

ment he thereby vacates his seat i'll

ATTY. Gen. William r. Pattangall
was at the state House. Thursday, in
conference with Chairman Wilson OF
the Inland Fisheries and Game Com
mission but informed the newspaper
men. when his opinion in regard to
the situation was asked, that he had
no ruling to make in the ease at this
time Said the attorney general
"Thefe is a provision in the consti-
tuition tnat prohibits State officials
from beng members of the Legislature
"a provision that has been very gen
erall,' violated. l can think of any
number of cases in point. George h.

of the Insane hospitals when he was
elected a senator and while 4 senator
he was rtappointed trustee of the
hospitals by Governor Fernald. Sena
tor Walker was trustee of the Nor
NAL schools during his term and J.
II Maney was elected a representa-
tive while a trustee of the Insane hos
pita;c. but he did resign as trustee
about the time the Legislature met.
Leroy T. Carleton served his entire
term in the Legislature and then the
question went to the courts, and in
consideration of the division of opin-
len, Mr. Carleton did not draw any
pay as fish and game commissioner
fer the months that the Legislature
was in session.

Answer to a Question From Reader
of the Suggestive Questions.
On the S. S. Lesson for Dec. Il, 1911.
BY Rev. DIR. Liuscett.
LESSON, NEH.. s.

LESSONt y Eli. ).
QUESTION :. Verses ca. Which
is the more becoming and natural in
public worship. and why. the hushed
silence which generally prevails with
us, or hearty and glad response as in
this case?
ANSWER. The lesson story tells
of a great gathering of all the people
in Jerusalem, after the walls had been
completed and the gates put up. 1t
was an open air gathering for the
purpose of, hearing Ezra the scribe
read from the law of Moses. As he
read great emotion was manifested by
the congregation. They lifted up their
hands, and bowed their heads. and
shouted, Amen Amen, There are a
number of similar stories told in the
Bible where worshippers made hearty
responses. to the prayers which were
offered, or to the words, read, or
spoken, in their meetings Worship
in those days was not such a formal
affairs as it is for the most part, in
these days. We have sehooled our
selves To fepFeSS our 1eellHSS, anu ilot
permit ourselves to outwardly express
joy at what may be said or done in
church. It is the only place where
people act in an unnatural way. At al
most every other sort of meeting it is
the right and proper thing to give out
ward expression to our sentiments.
People cheer and clap their hands. at
political, social or legislative gather
| ings. l am quite convinced that if
our church rules, or customs, could be
amended that we may act just as
naturally in places of worship, as we
do elsewhere, that the church service

edifying. and be more largely attend
ed People should be taught and
encouraged to let their feelings have
proper expression when they are en-
gagged III worship as they do at other
times.
