tiful world this is, full of all kinds of
good things besides II year old boys.
The boy is too much of a kid TO be
thinking of love and he would con-
slider you merely silly if he knew
what you are thinking. You aren't
really in love, you know. 90 Comb
it very simply-in a loose knot at
the back of the head, with a slight
pOmpadour. or in two braids twisted
about the head.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
single man and very much in love
with young married woman about
my own age. We love each other
dearly. She is very unhappy with
her present husband. as he has no
affection for her. have tried to
keep away from her. as l know it is
wrong, but she persists in talking
with me and being with me at every
possible chance.
She has offered to leave her hus-
band and her unhappy life and mar
~ me, and as we love each other
dearly know we could live happily.
So what am to do? LOVESICK.
The woman is selfish, or she would
not pursue you and disturb your
peace of mind. She would not be any
happier with you than she is with
her husband now, and if you marry
her you would never feel sure but
that she would be telling some other
man how unhappy she is with you.
Cut loose from her, young man, and
save your love for a woman who
doesn't whine about her unhappy lot.
Love honorably and you will surely
find happiness.

in mouth and stomach headache, you
can get blessed relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles of all kinds must go
and why they relieve sour, out Of or
der stomachs or indigestion in five
minutes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is
harmless; tastes like candy. though
each dose will digest and prepare fol
assimilation into the blood all the fooC
you eat; besides. it makes you go t.

what will please you most, is that yol

Mayor NeWbert
Addresses Young
Peoples Society

Mayor Newbert spoke before the Young
Peoples Society of the Penney Memorial
church, Sunday evening, the audience
room being filled to overlooking.
Mayor Newbert told the young people
they should be proud of the city they
were living in. He referred to the many
public buildings that make the capital
so distinctive, and particularly referred
to the growing Importance of Library
square, where, with the completion of
the new Y. NJ. c. a. building there will
be clustered together a set of splendid
buildings.
But after ALL said the mayor, lit
is not the buildings, nor the splendid
streets. nor the parks, nor the monu-
ments. nor other adornments that make
a city. 1t is the high character and God
illness of the people. a city will always
be as good as the men and women in
il, or as the men and women wish it
to be-
Augusta is city of not great deal
of wealth, as wealth goes nowadays
nor any considerable amount of power
ty. There are few, if any cases, of real
want in this city, and these few are
taken care of by the several charitable
associations think few cities in Maine
or New England can excel our own in
the general average prosperity. happi-
ness and eontentment OF its citizens.

just word about politics. Now. you
young people some day are likely to get
into politics, and l hope in a manly.
honest and straightforward manner.
Politics has various definitions, in the
minds of different people. But the def
milton | like is that it is the science of
government.
Now, we have here in Augusta a pop
ulation of some 14,000 people. AS mayor
of this city. / am anxious to serve all
these 1900 people alike. irrespective of
party or creed. That, to my mind, is the
proper conception of the mayoralty, or
of any high office elective by the peo-
pie.
'Some people in this city might diff
fer from me on questions of the tariff
on the subject of national currency, or
the government of the Philippines, but
in the government of 1900 people of

departments.
