HOW RESINOL.
CLEARS AWAY
UGLY PIMpLES

1t is so easy to get rid of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol, and it
costs so little, too, that anyone whose
face is disfgured by these pests is fool
ish to keep on with useless cosmetics,
or complicated beauty treatments"
See how simply it is done:
Battle your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, leaving
the complexion clear and velvety.
Resinol stops itching instantly and
speedily heals skin humors. Resinol
Ointment and Soap sold by all drug
gists. For free trial size, write Dept.

on the other hand: and the one is
equally as dangerous as the other. We
will follow the flag when grim war
stalks abroad in the land and we Will
follow it in times of peace against the
contending hosts of selfish interests
who would avoid their just share of
the public burden and profit unjustly
and unfairly through the weakness of
their fellow men. We have but to
stand firm to win. If temporary de-
feat shall come we will still battle on
for in the end truth must prevail The
day is not far distant when the re-
Spouse will come. Already we number
among our membership many of the
brightest and best intellects eff our
day, and it is only a question of time
when the legitimate business inter-
ests will awake to the fact that ours
is the safe and sane way; that only
through the principles which we adj
vocate, backed by men of sincerity of
purpose will legitimate business inter-
ests be protected, human rights pre-
served, and industrial strife which
already casts its dark and forebodlng
shadow over the land be averted.
The State of Maine is the best state
in all this broad land in which to live.
The hand of the Creator has dealt
most generously with Maine. Its seen
cry. its rich timber lands, its fertile
fields, its broad eXpanSe of sea coast
dotted with harbors of refuge, its
mighty rivers which in themselves
form magnificent natural highways of
trade and commerce as they roll IN
their majectic beauty TO the sea, in
all these things and in much more, l
say, the State 70 Maine has been most
singularly blest. The hand of man
has done much for Maine. And yet in
recent years the voters of this State
have been somewhat lax in their duties
along lines political. This gathering
here today, the splendid convention
held in Bangor, the numbers and en-
thusiasm manifested at our meetings
everywhere throughout the state IS
evidence to my mind that the men OF
Maine are awaking to the fact that
it is time to lend hand. 1t is evidence
to my mind that the men OF Maine
are about to lift the politica! machln-
cry CT this State out of the old ruts
and place it upon the broad highway
which leads upward to higher plane
in political thought d broader con-
ception of civic duty and wider spir-
it of cooperation, made possible
through the principles and policies OF
the Progressive party led by the great
est single handed fighter, the greatest
political leader and the greatest prl-
yate citizen of our time, Theodore
Roosevelt.

Flies Breed In Filth.
"TF at first you don't succeed swat,

"TF at first you don't succeed swat,
swat againw
A mild winter and spring pre-
sage the early arrival of our bitterest
enemies flies - in vastly increased
numbers. Immediate, well directed eff
forts must be put forth if the threat
ening dangers are to be minimiZed.
The time to fight flies is before they
become fiies-when in the egg or when
they are maggots.
The problem of elimination of flies
is one of elimination Of filth. No filth,
no flies.
Flies breed in filth, play on filth. eat
filth and distribute flth--the filthiest
kind of filth too. If we do away with
the breeding places of flies there will
be no flies
Therefore the way to swat flies now
is to clean up the fly breeding filth.
Clean up. keep clean and see that
your neighbors keep likewise, and you
will have few. if any, flies to contend
with. OF course have your swatter
ready for the first arrivals.

Judge &. M, Thompson
Someone has said that the Progres-
sive party in Maine was dead. Short
~ after the Presidential election IN
1912 man on Water street in TINS
city told me that the Progressive par
ty was dead.
After the difficulties which arose at
the converting of the legislature OF
1913 had become history. and when
in fact were instrumental in winnow-
ing some of the wheat from the chan,
many men, some of whom were men
of good intentions but whose backs
needed bracing, said that the Pro-
gressive party was dead. And When
certain municipalities put Progress
sive ticket into the field believing that
it might aid in preserving the party
organization, and in some OF THESE
municipalities there was marked
falling off from the vote in tn epresi-

was easily understood by all who

LAUDS BOY SCOUTS
Secretary Daniels Says the Training
Will Make Better Young
Americans

Praises for the boy scout movement
were spoken by men of national impor-
lance at the great public meeting held
in the ballroom of the Raleigh hotel, in
Washington, as the closing feature Of
the fourth annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Council of the Boy Scouts Of
America. Secretary Daniels of the
navy department spoke of the better
type of young men which would result
from boy scout training. Dan Beard,
who will have charge OF the united
Baltimore and Washington scout camp
on the Chesapeake bay this summer,
related a number of his experiences
and explained where he learned scout
craft. Other speakers were Senators
Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota, Varda-
man of Mississippi, Johnson Of Maine
and w. b. Greeley Of the department
Of agriculture.
The boy scout movement was COM
pared with the navy by Secretary Dan
iels He pointed out that the navy was

sailors just such principles and high

REGIMENT That Grant Commanded.

A peculiar interest attaches itself to
the Twenty-first Illinois infantry be-
cause it was Grants old regiment.
The men in that command little
thought that the stranger assigned TO
them as their colonel was destined TO
become the grandest figure of the
war. John w. Alexander succeeded
Grant as colonel He was an officer
OF rare merit, but was killed at Chick
amauga, where the regiment lost heav-
lily, 146 Of its men being captured or
missing. Its total enrolment was
1852 men. and the total Of killed and
wounded was S74. Grant remained
in command only until Aug. Z, 1861.
The regiment served in Missouri till
May, 1862. when it joined Buell's army.
