Army's Flqht on Typhoid.

The efficacy of the treatment Of ty-
phoid by vaccination is estimated by
the remarkable statistics for the
United States army during last year,
when only two cases Of typhoid fever
among the enlisted force of $4,000
were recorded. OF the two cases one
was that Of a man who had not been
treated with the vaccine; the other
was among the troops in China This
man had been immunized in 1911, but
the history of the case is in doubt.
Before the vaccine treatment was
adopted the typhoid average was 8 to
1000; in 1910, before inocluation was
practised, the rate was 2.32 to 1000;
in 1911 it dropped to 0.80, and in 1912
to 0.26.-Engineering Record.

NEON LAMP PUZZLES PARIS
Beautiful Rose Pink Illuminant, But
Has the Drawback of Being
Shortlived.

The appearance of the Neon lamp in
Paris Is providing the Parisians with
puzzle which few but the scientifical-
" minded can eluciGate, according to
he New York Suns London corre-
spondent.
The Neon lamp contains the rare at
mospheric gas neon discovered by Sir
William Ramsay, which possesses the
property Of allowing the electric cur
rent to traverse it under certain con-
1itions of pressure and temperature
and turning an extraordinarily large
proportion of 1t into light of beautiful
rose pink color.
The gas only exists in the atmcs-
phere to the extent of not more than
COZ per cent. by volume, but in spite
Of this it will soon be obtainable in
'airly large quantity from the light
residue from the fractional distilia-
ion of liquid air, which is Lbout to De

Potted plants are also beautiful.
The azaleas, hydranges and genestas

make most appropriate gifts for a sick

Shows Up The Democratic De-
ceit and Petty Politics

Dover, Me-, June n.-(SpeciaD.-
Republican conference representing
nearly every town in Piscataquis
county was held in the court house
considered the largest political meet
ing here thus far in the campaign,
was made up of more than so per cent.
of men who We're Progressives in 1912.
It was shown at the meeting that in
practically every town committee half
of the men had been Progressives and
active workers in the new party for
Roosevelt. It was also shown that
about rs per cent. of the candidates
lican ticket were Roosevelt men and
active workers. The leaders of the new
party have been making a big cry
that the Progressive party was gain
ing in numbers. They laugh at that
in this county. Sheriff Small stated
that he called up six farmers the 9TH
er day that had voted for Roosevelt
and all but one stated to him that
they should vote the Republican ticket
this fall, and when they voted for
Roosevelt in 1912 they did not con-
slider that they were leaving the Re-
publican party. Sheriff Small said that
he had found that the farmers are
much disguised with the present Dem
ocratic administration. The serious
condition of affairs has come home to
them and they are convinced that the
only way to better these conditions
is to vote the Republican ticket Sher-
if Small added that though nearly
every farmer in November, 1912, voted
for Roosevelt that nearly all would
vote the Republican ticket this fall.
Another man stated in the meeting
that he had made a personal canvass
of some voters in the ounty that had
voted for Roosevelt and he found
them now all for the Republican party.
When the statement is made that the
Progressives are returning to the Re-
publican party 1t can be backed by
facts in Piscataquis county. The
chairman of the committee of Brown
vile was a strong Progressive. F. A.
Merrill, membr of the town COM
mittee of Dover, was Roosevelt man;

Nervous Children

There Is much criticism of modern
educational methods that require too
much work Of school children, allow
ing them too little time for play and
preventing sufficient out-of- door exer-
else. When the study of music or
any other accomplishment. with the
necessary practice, is added, the strain
is increased.
j Under These conditions the blood
becomes impoverished and fails to
nourish the nerves. The child be-
comes 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 irrita-
bility are symptoms that early show
that the blood and nerves are failing
to meet the demands made upon them.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, a safe tonic
for children, will build UP the blood,
strengthen the nerves and help to meet
the demands of the growing child.
Sufficient out of doors exercise, nour-
ishing food and ten hours sleep each
day, with these tonic pills, will cor
rect even long standing cases of st.
vitus' dance and will calm the nerves
of the most irritable child.
All druggists sell DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. A booklet Diseases of the Ner-
vous System" will be sent free to any
parent On request by the DR.. Williams

recognition is a great gift il cult
