Orono, Me-. April 23.-(SpeciaD-
Further prizes aggregating $500 have
been offered to the boys and girls
clubs of Washington and Hancock
counties by the Union Trust Co. of
Ellsworth. Two hundred dollars is to
be distributed in each county in the
same manner as in Aroostook county.
Five initial prizes will be awarded to
the first five clubs to be organized and
$50 will remain as a prize to be COM
peted for by the five clubs. The
prizes will be awared under the direc-
ton of the extension service of the
College of Agriculture. Frank H.
Bickford, the State leader, is now in
Washington county to confer with the
local superintendent Of the clubs.
That the College of Law will in the
course of time require two years of
college work for entrance is the state
ment which is made in the March
number of the Maine Bulletin, this
month devoted to a prospectus of the
College of Law. At present the col
lege admits such graduates of second
airy institutions as are able to show
the possession of IA units obtained in
an approved secondary school. The
efficiency of the instruction given in
the College of Law is shown by the
fact that in the past 10 years only one
graduate has failed to pass the bar ex-
aminations and in the past eight years
not one has failed. The three high
est marks ever given by the Board of
Examiners Ia Maine were given to
graduates of this college. Results in
other states lave been equally crafty
ing.
Miss Cornelia Palmer, assistant pro-
fessor in charge of the department of
home economics, has submitted her
resignation to take effect July l. She

Sick Headache
Pinklets, the Now Laxative, Gives
Quick Relief in Most Cases.

AS a rule sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours in advance when an
attack is coming on.
The trouble is caused by a gradual ac-
.cumulation of poison generated in the
digestive organs and when a certain
point is reached this poison produces
nausea and the attack follows.
In very many cases the use of a proper
laxative before the condition 'of prostra-
ton is reached will force the poisons
from the system and the attack will be
avoided. Pinklets are dainty laxative,
tiny, sugar-coated granules that arouse
NO feeling of repulsion, and they act so
gently that they are the ideal laxative to
use in correcting tendency to sick
headache. They do not upset the diges-
ton, do not grippe and have no unpleas-
ant effect to make them Objectionable to
the extra sensitive sick-headache patient.
Old-fashioned, harsh purgatives will not
do at all in such cases. For complete in
formation regarding the treatment of
sick headache send to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for the
Pinklet book 1t is free.
Your own druggist can supply you with
Pinklets in 25-cent bottles.-Adv.

WhiteWash, Cheap
est of All Paints

Whitewash is the cheapest of all
paints, and for certain purposes 1t is
the best, according to Farmers Bulle-
tin 474. Lime which is the basis of
whitewash, makes a very sanitary
coating, and is probably to be pre-
ferred for cellars and the interior of
stables and other outbuildings. (The
following directions for making white
wash are taken from white Paints
and Painting Materials" by w. G..
Scott:)
Ordinary whitewash: This is made
by shaking about 10 pounds of quick
lime with 2 gallons of water
The lime is placed in pail and the
water poured over it, after which the
pail is covered with an old piece of
carpet or cloth and allowed to stand
for about an hour. With an INSULT
cient amount of water, the lime is
"scorched" and not all converted into
hydrate: on the other hand. too much
water retards the shaking by lowering
the heat.
"Scorched" lime is generally lumpy
and transparent, hence the use of the
proper amount of water for shaking
and an after addition of water to
bring it to a brush consistency.

that the camels could be watered. Any
small party OF eight or ten would m
fallibly have persisted before clearing out

As a set-of TO these somewhat distress
full stories there IS an amusing tale OF an
old Arab, the father Of one of General La
perrine's men. He was antelope hunting
in the Great Erg, and when half dead
with thirst he reached a well 45 feet deep.
At the bottom he could see the delicious
water. but like Tantalus, could not reach
il. Unlike the mythical martyr. though
he was not chained TO the rocks, and as
the we'll was not very wide he did not
hesitate to let himself down part of the
way, finally falling into the pool 1t was
quite impossible for him 10 get out, out'
like a good fatalist he waited in his bath,
praving Allah TO send some travellers by.
, In these regions weeks and sometimes
months pass without the wells being Wis
tied. but next day fortune favored him by
sending some of the French camel corps
that way, who were not ntle dstoh-

down a stronger rope TO climb up with.

the Spah rope, and knew TO whom he was

General Laperrine's article proves
abundantly that in one respect the French
army is trained 10 meet danger that up
to now even the ubiquitous British ofncer
has rot to fear. Little enough is generally
heard of the French African army, which
in many respects may be compared to our
Indian frontier forces, being almost per-
netually liable TO be called upon either TO
defend itself or to relieve comrades In
peril. Both officers and men live IN an
atmosphere Of hardship and frequent he
roism of which only an occasional echo
