TO save EYES
Is the Object of this Free Prescription
Try 1t if Wtr Eyes Give
You Trouble,

Thousands Of people suffer from eye
troubles because they do not know
what to do. They know some good
home remedy for every other minor
ailment, but none for their eye trou-
bles. They neglect their eyes, because
the trouble is not sufficient to drive
them to an eye specialist, who would.
anyway, charge them a heavy fee. AS
a last resort they go to an optician
or to the five and ten-cent store, and
oftentimes get glasses that they do not
need, or which. after being used two
or three months, do their eyes more
injury than good. Here is a simple
prescription that every one should use:
5 grains DIPLOMA Il tablet).
2 ounce Water.
Use three or four times a day to
battle the eyes. This prescription and
the simple DIPLOMA system keeps the
eyes clean, sharpens the vision and
quickly oVercomes inflammation and
irritation; weak, watery, overworked,
tired eyes and other similar troubles
are greatly benefited and oftentimes
cured by it's use. Many reports show
that wearers of glasses have discard
ed them after a few weeks use. 1t is
good for the yes and contains no in
gredient which would injure the most
sensitive eyes of an infant or the aged.
Font g. Porterfteld Aon any druggist
can fill this prescription promptly.
Try it and know for once what real
eye comfort is.-Advt.

Roosevelt Tells OF
Mellen Interview

Oyster Bay. N Y, May 21-Theodore
Roosevelt was asked Wednesday about
the testimony of Charles S. Mellen, for
mer president of the New Haven. who
on Tuesday at Washington told of visit
to Mr.. Roosevelt and consultation with
him over the proposed merger with the
Boston & Maine.
The colonel said he hadn't read Mr.
Mellens testimony in the newspapers as
yet, but he would give his recollection
of the incident. That was what occurred
according to Mr.. Roosevelt:
Mellen came to him and told him of
the merger that was then in prospect
and asked his advice on 1t. He told Mr.
Mellen that he was not a lawyer and
knew nothing of the technical details of
law that might be involved. but il the
combination were within the law, Mr..
Roosevelt saw no objection to 1t, al
though he CMr. Roosevelt) would rather
see 1t effected under government super
vision For legal advice he referred Mel
len to Franklin X, Lane of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
But" added the colonel, II told Mellen
that If this merger were accomplished
and it violated the law it needn't come
back to me-
AS to the affairs of the New Haven in
general, and the showing up they are
getting from the man whom Morgan
made, Mr.. Roosevelt had nothing to say.

"ARE AMERICANS HEsREWs2s
Rev. Mr.. Kings Lecture on Thursday
Evening Full of Interest.

Are Americans Hebrews was the
subject discussed thursday evening at
the Green Street Methodist church by
Rev. M. E. King of Waverley, Mass,
and in a very interesting manner he
showed to what a great extent the
English people carry out the prophecy
which was given to the tribes OF Is
rael. BY lantern slides he showed
quotations from the Bible, telling that
Israelites wer scattered, that they
went to the isles and he stated that
here is reason for believing hat one
of these islands referred to was Eng
land.
To argue the question further. he
showed the Scripture stating that the
seed from these tribes shall be great
at war, and also that they shall pos
sess the gateways of their enemies.
And that the English people carry out
these prophecies is known TO all of'us.
The lecture brought to light many
resemblances between the prophecies
made for that race and the English
people of today. and the speaker gave
a very satisfactory answer to the
question, What became of the tribes
of Israeli" The pictures shown during
the lecture were beautiful, and the
lecture was thoroughly appreciated.

Celebrate Homecoming

Oyster Bay, n. Y, May 21.--In the
home town of Theodore Roosevelt to-
day there was a celebration which
went straight to the colonefs heart.
His old neighbors welcomed him back
from tie jungles and they did it in a
way which made the former President
strangely silent as he arose to face
them and put an unwonted huskiness
in his voice. Oyster Bays main street
was filed with crowd which COM
prised every one in the village.
Long before Col Roosevelt returned
from New York where he had spent
the day, the people were waiting for
him. On the buildings and strung
across the street were flags and bunt-
ing. Nailed to a telegraph pole was a
huge sign which read: 1916 and vic
tory"
At last there came shout and over
the heads of the crowd could be seen
a big white straw hat, waving back
and forth. Everyone knew it was the
colonel The people crowded about him,
and for a quarter of an hour there was
a wild scramble to shake hands with
him. The village band played This is
the Life"
After that was over the crowd grew ST
lent and COO school children began their
song. AS they came to the chorus. the
crowd caught up the words which every
one knew: Home again home again,
from a foreign shore" Colonel Roose
welt stood silent and grave while they
sang.
The only hint of politics came in the
speech of welcome of Robert Duval, an
Oyster Bay lawyer. who attacked the
policies of the Wilson administration. He
concluded by saying that the eyes of
the nation were not on Washington, but
on Sycamore Hill.
In his speech Col. Roosevelt avoided
politics and expressed his heartfelt APP
probation of the welcome extended by
his townsmen.

A Change of Wind
Drives the Smoke

The smoke which has enveloped Angus
Ia for the past two days as the result or
forest fires in various parts of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Canada,
mostly disappeared Thursday when the
wind changed from the northwest ana
west, where it had chung for the past
three DAYS, and blew from the southeast,
not a heavy wind, but enough to drive
the smoke inland and allow the sun to
shine once more in something like its
natural color instead of the orange tint
that had covered its face since the smoke
cloud put in an appearance. The chahge
of wind also brought a cooler tempera-
ture, and while the mercury at noon
Wednesday ran UP into the sos, 1t only
climbed Thursday to about rs.
According to advices received from Fort
Kent an extensive forest fire which has
been burning at Allagash Plantation was
thought to be under control Wednesday
night. 1t was confined to the land which
had previously been burned over and the
damage was not heavy Two hundred
acres have been burned over in Franklin
Station in Franklin county and 100 acres
in the northern part of Lee in Penobscot
county. Both fires were reported un-
der control Thursday.
Hon. Blaine S. Viles, State forestry
commissioner, stated Thursday that
there Is at present no serious danger
from forest fires in Maine although 1t is
getting dry in the woods. Commissioner
Viles talked over the long distance tele-
phone with several points in Aroostook
county and his report indicates that
there are no large, but few small ones
mostly brush fires. The great amount
of smoke which has practically enveloped
every large city in Maine for several
days is believed to have come from Can
ada, where two large fires have been
raging. one at Spauldingtown and the
other beyond Megantic. The mounted
men of the fire patrol have been placed
on duty in nearly all the sections of the
State to be ready In case of au7 emer-
gency.

CObuRV WINS THE DEBATE IN
COLBY LEAGUE FROM HEBRON

waterville, Me, May 2f.-(SpeciaD.
-Coburn won the semi final debate
held in this city Thursday evening in
the Colby Goodwin Interscholastic
League. The question debated on was:
Resolved: That Capital Punishment
is Preferable TO Life Imprisonment
Even When the Latter is Executed
Under a Restricted Power of Pardon"
The church was well-filled with the
loyal Coburn students and many peo
pie of the city especially interested in
the preparatory schools of the State.
From time to time in spite of the
admonition of the presiding officer.
applause was given to the contest
ants of both schools.
Harry P Fuller. H. of Colby, as
the presiding officer, opened the ex-
ercises of the evening by stating the
question and stating few facts con-
corning the remaining debate of the
league, which he said would be with
Madison High school and the win
ner of the debate Coburn, to be held
at the Waterville City hall in June.
Rev Mr.. Curtis of Fairfield offered
prayer.
Mr. Fuller then introduced the first
speaker of the evening, Mr.. Thompson
of Hebron. Throughout the debate
and including the rebuttal the argu-
ments of the representatives of both
schools were concise convincing and
most difficult to refute. The argu-
ments of Mr.. Matthews, the last
speaker for Hebron, and Messrs. Fra
ser and Arnold, the first and second
speakers for Coburn, were especially
trenchant and to the point. In the
rebuttal all the speakers proved to be
