Florence Hull Winterburn, author of
the recently published principles of
Correct Dress" believes that the Ameri-
can woman who does not care for dress
is not only unfeminine, but ''unpatr
otic." A particular tenderness for old
gowns is shown in every station of life. de-
clares Mrs. Howe, "From the daughter of

scription written on tly-leaf of leath-
err covered book shown us by Prof. Geo.
C. Leavitt, says the Norway Advertiser.
His grandfather was owner of the book
and wrote his name in it Oct. 10, 1927.
The book was printed in Norway, Me-,
for the author, by Asa Barton, that year.
This is the title:-An apology for be-
lieving in Universal Reconciliation; or an
old appeal from the Inferior Court of
Bigotry, Superstition, Ignorance and I'm

Backing the title page is this Where
as the author was not favored IN the
DAYS of his youth, with an opportunity
to study English Grammar, his knowl-
edge in that science is imperfect. He
therefore begs that his work may be eX-
cused from grammatical criticisms. But
on the point of doctrine, he seeks no
shelter from scrutiny; but heartily sub
mits his work to the candid, reasonable
and understanding investigation of any
man in Christendom. The book con-
tains POP pages, exclusive of two pages
of the Oxford book store advertising of

author proposes to write another book

THE 10TH MAINE REGIMENT.

The Madison Bulletin received the fol-
lowing communication from F. w. Wig
gin of Portland, regarding the reunion to
be held in Madison, August 18th.
There are so many interesting and
thrilling incidents connected with the his
tory of regiment that served three
wears in the Civil War that it is difficult
to select any one or two of them as more
deserving of mention than others. At the
camp fires and reunions of the different
regimental organizations, some of these
incidents are almost sure to be brought
out, and doubtless at the coming reunion
of the 10th Maine regiment at Madison,
there will be "reminiscences of personal
experiences and exciting events rehears-
ed, pertaining to the campaigns, marches
and battles of fifty years ago. During
the year the 10th Maine organization has
met with especially sad bereavement in
the death of its former commander. Cen
eral Chas. W. Tilden, an officer beloved
by his men as few officers have been
loved in the history of the world.
Two other deaths during the year have
affected the surviving comrades very
much, namely, the death of Rev. j. W.
Webster of Co. F. 10Th Maine, who was
for more Than 20 years Chaplain of the
Department of Name, G. A. R., and the
death of Chas O. Wadsworth, for over
80 years city clerk of Gardiner, and for
the past sixteen years Secretary and
Treasurer of the 10Th Maine Reglmental
Association.
Of the field officers of the regiment,
Gen. A. B. Farnum of Bangor, our for
mer Lieutenant Colonel, still remains
with US. General Farnum was severely
wounded in the battle of Five Forks on
the first of April in 1865 by a bullet which
penetrated his left lung. He fell from his
horse and lay on the battlefield all night.
The next morning he was carried to
farmhouse and was cared for there until
after Lees surrender, when men from his
own regiment, on the return march from
Appomattox, carried him on stretcher
to the railroad six miles away, and he
was transferred to hospital in Wash
ington. When the regiment started for
home it marched by this hospital, SO that
we might, as we supposed, see our be-
loved Colonel once more. To our surprise
and delight, our officer lived and is living
today, with Confederate bullet encased
in his left lung. He served as Postmas-
ter for many years and was Adjutant
General of Maine during the administra-
ton of the late Governor John F. Hill.

An Old Wallet Found.

A wallet which is thought to belong to
N. E. Murray of Burnham was found in
the house al 80 Dutton street, Bangor,
July Both. This house was formerly the
ladies' waiting room in the fair grounds
and about four years ago, Hon. F. O.
Beal, the owner, had the building moved
lust outs de the mark on button street
and had it remodeled. 1t is now occupied
by Capt. John R. Brown. Mrs. Brown.
while in the basement of the house,
noticed the wallet resting on the sill, and
took it down. Thinking that it was the
property of somebody that occupied the
house before she turned it over to Mr..
Beal. After little investigation, Mr..
Beal found that many of The papers,were
signed by, and some others addressed to,
N. E. Murray. Some of the papers bore
date of 1897 and others as late as 1902. 1t
is thought that the wallet must have
been stolen at the fair 10 or 12years ago,
and after the money was removed the
thief hid the wallet. Among the papers
were checks, notes and memorandum.
The wallet is now in Mr.. Beal's posses
sion. Bangor Commercial.

NERVOUS CHILDREN

There is much criticism of modern edu-
cational methods that require too much
work of school children, allowing them
too little time for play and preventing
sufficient out-of-door exercise. When
the study of music or any other accom-
plishment, with the necessary practice, is
added, the strain is increased.
Under these conditions the blood be-
comes impoverished and fails to nourish
the nerves. The child becomes restless,
and twitching of the muscles follows.
Sometimes the child stumbles in walking
and drops what it tries to hold. Pallor,
listlessness, inattention, restlessness and
irritability are symptoms that early show
that the blood and nerves are failing to
meet the demands made upon them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, a safe tonic
for children, will build up the blood,
strengthen the nerves and help to meet
the demands of growing child. SUI
ficient out-of-door exercise, nourishing
food and ten hours sleep each day, with
these tonic pills, will correct even long
standing cases of St. Vitus' dance and will
calm the nerves of the mostirritable child.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. A booklet "Diseases of the Ner-
vous System" will be sent free to any
parent on request by the DR.. Williams

CANNING CT JoS FOR GIRLS.

"There are $4,000 members of girls
canning clubs in fifteen Southern States
and Maine woman help ed this work to
START" said Miss Virginia Moore of the
University of Tenness ee in speaking to
the summer school students at Univer-
sity of Maine Monda y, July 9th. Com
petent authority says that Miss Moore is
the ablest State leader of girls agricul-
tural clubs in the United States.
She came to the University of Maine
Friday to assist Miss Marie w. Gurdy of
Rockland, who has been appointed by
the University of Maine. State leader
of Girls Agricultural Clubs.
The Girls Canning Club movement
was started in 1910 by an energetic little
school teacher in Aiken County, South
Carolina. This teacher was having great
difficulty in securing money for club
prizes. One day while on the train. she
was talking about her plans when a
Maine woman overheard her and offered
the prize money necessary for staEt.
The small beginning filled such real
need that the general education board
gave active assistance with the resulting
spread of work.
MISS moore SdIu LudC Iuc dlIlS OaI-
ming Club work was the most important
of all movements fer lettering condi-
lions for women of the rural districts.
! The work is a source of inspiration,
knowledge, and cash in thousands of
! homes, and through the growing and
canning of vegetables helps many girls
to open doors that previously have been
locked against them. Hundreds of girls
have had better times socially, heater
clothes, more enjoyable homes and great
err school privileges on account of the
money club operations have netted them.
This club work helps keep girls con-
tented in the rural districts because it
enables them to have many of the privi-
leges of town girls and to have cash
income. 1t shows them how to get
living without going to the city.
One of the club girls in Tennessee
made Sl98. II on one-tenth acre plot of
tomatoes. Most of the girls make from
S65 to $40.
Tomatoes are the standard crop for
Southern work but in Maine string beans
will be used. Four clubs were organized
by the agricultural extension depart
ment, Orono, in the spring of 1914 in
Cherryfeld, Macwahoc, North Berwick
and Shapleigh.
Miss Moore and Miss Gurdy went to
Cherryfield, where the local club met
Tuesday for demonstration in methods
of canning.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.
The Effect of the Democratic Tariff Law.

WASHINGTON, August 3, 1914 All
who are concerned in the high cost of
living will be interested in the results of
an inquiry which Congressman Charles
H, Sloan of Nebraska, member of the
Ways and Means Committee, has just
given out. Mr.. Sloan compiled the i'm
ports of twentyseven leading agricult-
ural products. He found that in the first
eight months under the Underwood
Oemocratic) tariff law lmportations of
these twenty-seven agricultural products
showed collective increase of 149 per
cent. One of the greatest increases was
in meat products, which were 1927 per
cent greater than in the corresponding
period of the year before the Republican
tariff law was repealed, for the first
eight months under the Underwood Law
as compared with the corresponding Pc
riod one year preceding together with
their respective percentages of increase:

The Sardine Situation.

EAsTPoRT, July 81. The fish supply
in the local sardine factories continues
light and only broken time is being had
by the small army of employees and the
indications are not promising for this
week. 1t has been predicted by some of
the veteran fishermen and weir owners
that the summer schools of herring are
due about the neighboring coast early in
August and much depends of the chances
of their coming into Passamaquoddy bay
soon. There is yet four months in which
to pack American sardines, but the pack
