The living courage and the faith you
need
To brave the even road of daily toll,
And master trifies that you else would

The lonely star that waited through

And made them learn to call on God, and

For sonship as little child should care.

The flaming sword that shuts out para

am the sleep that all mems sorrows

Safe from themselves--spotless, without

How would Here's ter We" do?

Here's hoping that nothing but hap
piness will be the lot of the couple
who married Wednesday in Bangor
after a somewhat romantic courtship.
They had but two hours of actual ac-
quaintance, yet in that time they de-
cided to ratify all the negotiations
carried on through the mail and ac-
cordingly were married by Rev. Geo.
a. Hartin in a Bangor hotel. The
groom was VIM. r. Hanna, aged So.
of East sullivan, a widower and
prosperous farmer, and Miss Leta A.
Howe of Wells, Vt. They had become
acquainted through an advertisement
and correspondence to the extent that
they had decided that they had better
try married life. They will reside on
the groom's farm at East Sullivan.

Redemption of Pledges by the Last
Legislature.

THAT the platform declarations of
the last Republican State convention
were accepted as binding and controll-
ing party action, is evidenced by the
fact that the Republican members of
the Legislature of 1913 by the action
of the State Senate, where there was
Republican majority and by the vote
Of the Republicans in the House of
Representatives, where control was
possible only with the cooperation of
the five members who acknowledged
active allegiance TO the Progressive
party, supported and tried to make ef
Sective every plank in the platform
calling for action by the Legislature.
"In connection with these past
achievements of the Republican party
and it's platform declarations, of April
and June 1912, it will be of vital in
| terest to the voters of Maine to re-
! member that the platform of the Pro-
gressive party, which was declared
and adopted on the 7th day of August,

AnAEMIC SINCE CHILDHOOD,
How Miss Holmes Regained Her
Health.

If you are anaemic, you need more
iron in your blood, and the tell-tale
symptoms are pale face-colorless
lips, ashen finger nails, poor circula-
ton, and short breath. and more
serious diseases are easily contracted
when in this condition.
What vinol did for Miss Yvonne
Holmes of Fall River, Mass, it will
do for every anaemic run-d down per-
son. She says: Il have been weak
and anaemic since childhood, always
had that ired feeling Tonic after
tonic was tried with little or no re-
suit until Vinol was recommended,
and after taking three bottles, my
appetite and digestion have been i'm
proved. l do not suffer any more
from insomnia, nor do have distress
ing headaches as formerly and l am
stronger than I have been for years"
We ask every anaemic or run down,

ing that their money will be returned

forms, under which these results have
been obtained. and in which the party
has pledged itself to further wise and
advanced legislation, 1t is of interest
to remember that the platform adopt
ed by our last Republican state con-
vention, which was held at Bangor in
April, 1912, several months before the
Chicago convention and before the
birth of the present Progressive party
a platform drafted by that great and
beloved progressive Republican, the
late Hon, Herbert NJ. Heath of Au-
gusta, was approved by the entire
membership of the Republican party,
was reported from the committee on
resolutions, and was UNANIMOUSLY
adopted by the convention. This plat
form, there adopted, committed the he
publican party to continuation OF
these splendid policies and declared
for presidential preference primaries,
advanced labor legislation and other
progressive policies.
"At Chicago, in June, 1912, the Ma
tional Republican convention (before
the birth of the Progressive partV
pledged the Republican party to legis-
lation favoring the protection of AM
erican labor and industry, the estab-
lishment of permanent non-parusan
tariff commission, presidential prefer
ence primaries, laws TO safeguard puo-
lie health, to limit the hours of en-
ployment of women and children. laws
to provide that workingmen's compen-
sation should take the place of en-
ployers' liability, legislation in rela-
ton to problems of social welfare, con-
servation of natural resources, laws
