There will be a special meeting of the Board
of Trade Friday evening, March 9th. Mr.. E.
R. Pierce will address the meeting, We would

hundred and twenty pupils and probably event.
ually two hundred more than was intended
when the bond issue for the new school build
ing was determined.
And whereas; The Building Commissioners
report to the Belfast Board of Trade that 1t is
their intention to construct the new school
building which must necessarily. have an in
creased seating capacity of about twenty five
per cent beyond that originally contemplated

ing will be positive and valuable increase in

ing:
Therefore, be it voted: That the Belfast

was originally considered without increase OF
rental, or cost to the city. And it is also voted

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, old-time
Remedy, Makes Pure Blood.

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and
effectively removes scrofula, boils
and other blood diseases because it
drives out of the blood all the hui
mors that cause these diseases. They
cannot be successfully treated any
other way. The use Of external ap-
plications for their removal has
been proven to be almost useless be-
cause they cannot drive out the inn
purities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion,
and builds up the whole system.
The skin becomes smooth, clean and
healthy. This great blood remedy
has stood the test Of forty years.
Insist on having Hood Is, for nothing
else acts like it-there is no s.just
as good" medicine, no real substi-
tute. Get it from your druggist
and begin taking it today.

Mayor Dunton's address is eonserva-
tive presentation Of the conditions which
confront the new city government and
must appeal to all who have the best in
terests of Belfast at heart. The finan
;cial status of the city is of first import
ance, and as to that the mayor says:
eve are unfortunate in taking control
of the city's affairs at time when the
treasury is empty and the available re-
sources insufficient to pay the current
expenses until the taxes assessed this
year are available. 1t will therefore be
necessary to procure temporary loan
to be paid from this years taxes. In
order to make this loan as small as pos
sible suggest that the expenditures in
every department be reduced to mini
mum until the taxes for this year become
available and that the collectors for the
wears previous to 1918 be required to
complete their collections and make full
settlement with the city treasurer with
in such time as the city council may
order" In this connection it would seem
that the city council for its own protec-
ton should secure the services of char
tered accountant who after a thorough
examination should furnish statement
showing the exact condition of the city
finances and property. The city treas
urer's report, which had always been
published before the annual election I'M
til the advent of the late mayor, has
since that time been withheld until mid
summer, and all that is known at this
time concerning the city finances is that
the appropriations for the past year
have been overdrawn to an aggregate OF
many thousand dollars. The present
city government owes it to itself, and to
the community as well, to take account
of stock now, and thus avoid possible
misrepresentation in the future.

In an address before the Maryland
legislature at Annapolis March 18th Sec
rotary Bryan said he hoped that not only
would this country borrow the initiative
and referendum, as 1t had borrowed the
Australian ballot, but that in time it
would adopt the postal vote. The postal
vote of New Zealand permits citizen,
though away from home, to cast his vote
in an election and have i: counted. This
would certainly open the door TO unllmlt-
ed fraudulent voting.
