A Tonic For The Nerves

Nervous people who have not yet de-
veloped a disease that can be recog-
nized and treated by the medical pro-
fession have the greatest trouble IN
finding relief. Irritation, headache
sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, al
these discomforts make life miserable
but are endured rather than run Q
doctors bill without definite hope OF
recovery.
Every such sufferer should know the
danger Of such q condition of the ner-
vous system. Nervous debility and
even paralysis may easily result If the
tone Of the nerves is not restored.
The one big fact that brings hope
and relief is that the nerves can De
restored by building UP the blood. II
cannot be too often repeated that only
through the blood can nourishment
and medicine reach the nerves. DR.
Williams Pink Pills make the biood
rich and red and quickly restore VI
tality and energy to weak nervous
system. A nervous person who gives
these pills q trial is almost certain to
see good results and, what Is more
the benefit will be lasting because the
trouble is attacked at its root. Thin
blood makes weak nerves. Building up
the blood restores the nerve force.

she said, "and the country is also rich
in iron mines.
I'm spite of this vast population and
China's immense resources, the people
of China really know very little of one
another" she continued, because the
railroads and the telegraph lines in
that country are poorly developed. But
the people there will soon know each
other and largely on account of one
great man in that country, Yuan Shi-
Kai."
Briefly Mrs. Hamlin then dwelt upon
the character and ambition of this
great man, who aspires to be to his
country what George Washington was
to the United States. and who has been
elected president of the new republic,
China.
The religion of China was then de-
scribed by Mrs. Hamlin and she show
ed that Confucionism WAS not men
ace to Christianity. On the other band
she showed that it was far better Tor
the Chinese to accept a religion which
China has had in her territory for
many years, than to have no religion
or accept a religion about which they
know absolutely nothing.
Mrs. Hamlin then pointed out the
reasons for China's friendship towards
the United States, showing that the
United States has not tried to expiol'

In the window Of Wadleigh's Capital
fish market there is on exhibition and
will be until Thursday big fish that
was killed Monday afternoon when
men were at work near the railroad
bridge setting off blasts Of dynamite
for the purpose of breaking up the ice
in that vicinity, and was found on the
ice by o. j. Blanchette. The fish,
which is 23 inches in length and
weighs seven and one-half pounds, is
a German carp, and is probably either
the progeny of or one of a number Of
those fish which were some years ago
liberated in the river after having been
taken from the pond on the Haynes
estate on Western avenue. and while
it is probable that there are many OF
them in the river at this point they are
seldom captured Some Of the carp
from the Haynes pond were also
placed in Bond brook and also in the
water above the johnson dam south Of
Western avenue, and a few years ago
when the mill pond on Bond brook was
drained a carp was taken that weighed
13 pounds or more. This fish was at
the time Of it's capture placed on ex-
hibition in the window of Daggett's
fish market. The carp found by Mr..
Blanchette will later be mounted for
the museum at the State House.

SCrOfula and All
HunOrs Give Way
Hoods SarsapsriIla, the Great Puri-
fier, CIeanses the Blood.

There are many things learned from
experience and observation that the
older generation should impress upon
the younger. Among them is the fact
that scrofula and other humors. which
may be either inherited or acquired
and which produce eczema, boils
pimples and other eruptions, can be
most successfully treated with Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine is a peculiar
combination of remarkably effective
blood purifying and health giving
roots. barks and herbs, which are
gathered especially for it.
Just remember that this pure, safe
and effective remedy has been tested
for forty years.

bu rather has tried to keep other ma

The opium curse of China was then
explained by Mrs. Hamlin and she also
spoke of the great suffering which the
women of that country undergo be-
cause of binding of feet.
The life of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, who
has done so much for the people of
China, was then dwelt upon. In clos
ing the lecture Mrs. Hamlin noted the
fact that last April the United States
recognized China as a republic-the
greatest republic in the world held out
her hand to the youngest republic.

"DEvELcPMENT OF CHINA"
Mrs. Hamlin Delivers Another of So
ries of Interesting Lectures.

There have been many several
causes ascribed for reasons of the
great revolution in China" said Mrs.
Morrill, Hamlin in commencing her
lecture Tuesday afternoon in Library
hall upon "The Development of China"
1.-THE greatest Of these is probably be-
cause the provinces objected to the
government taking away their control
Of the railroads." she said, partly be-
cause they felt that the foreign pow
ers would use the railroads to ex-
ploit China, partly because they could
not draw the revenue from these rail-
roads. and partly because of the rule
Of the Manchuans."
Mrs. Hamlin then in a most inter-
esting manner described the wonder
full resources Of this great country
with it's 100000 square miles and its
population of 400,000,000. The coal
deposits of China would furnish coal
for the world for the next 100 years" "

some bits Of early Indian history IS
pecially Of interest because Of lis con

The tribe of Indians which dwell
Upon the shores of the kennebcc were
known to the western neighbors as
The Children of the Rising sun" The
Indian name of our beautiful river
was "kin-ni- bi-bec, which When
spoken by the white man sounded likO
"kennebee' hence the name of our
river. The region between Scion and
the Canadian border was called by
the Indians "Carratunk' a word mean
ing something rough or broken The
southern line of the territory owned
by the Norridgewock tribe was Wes-
serrunsett Stream, near Skowhegan,
while the northern boundary was
"Carratunk Falls in Scion.
When Arnold marched up the Ken
nebee, Norridgewock was the most
northern settlement of the whites. He
stopped over night at William How
ards in Bloomfield. now Skowhegan.

This tribe when first visited by Capt.
George Weymouth in 1905 numbered
Loo warriors, whose homes were from

BEAUTIFUL sKOWHEGAN WOMEN
The Secret of Their Increasing Charm

1t is really surprising that in such
a short time there should be so mark
ed an improvement in the appearance
of so many Skowhegan ladies, but it is
not surprising when the cause OF this
improvement is known. And there is
no great mystery about it after all.
Drop in most any day now at G. r.
Foggs drug store and you are likely
to see one of the clerks wrapping up
box of the little pills that do so
much to improve the appearance OF
ones complexion. Bright eyes, a
rudy glow, and complexion fret
from pimples. sallowness and moth
spots may be had by every woman
who will take one or two of kimbalFs
Liver and Stomach Pills at bed time
These pills contain dandelion and
other purely vegetable extracts that
are known to have a selective action
for skin affections, and being both
laxative and tonic they quicken the
circulation and open the pores and
encourage the action of the bowels,
stimulate the liver. and enrich the
blood and at the same time cure bill
liousness, sick headache and chronic
constipation. When once used their
merits cannot be concealed. Mich
