THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD
It Means Healthy Nutrition
Hoods Sarsaparilla Makes It.

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy ac-
ton on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount OF labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other erup-
tons appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment Of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling and general debility. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is pure, safe and eff
fective remedy. There is no other
medicine like it. Be sure to get
Hood and get it today.

six years. The number committed for
drunkenness for the past year was less
by 40 per cent than that of the preced-
ing year and 81 per cent. less than the
average number for the last six years.
The percentage of total commitments is
% per cent. less than that of the preced-
ing year and 26 per cent. less than the
six years average. The records show
that this reduction was accomplished in
less than eight months, the first part of
the year having the average of the pre-
ceding year. The total commitments to
the jails for the past year were 1910
against 63SS for the preceding year, a
decrease of 1448.
"These figures show that in the past
wear there were from 1900 to 100 less
men committed to the jails than in the
preceding year, and the years preceding,
and that there are now in the State a
large number of men who have been
lifted by the policy of law enforcement
from an improvident and wasteful level
of existence to that of those who do the
work and business of the State, with
the livelihood and privileges which fol-
low. And to this great material result
NAV be added the unreasonable benefits
which have come to the many homes
from the restraint and removal of the
cause of untold sorrow and privation.
"What this sane and economical policy
would have meant to the State if follow
ed from the days of its originator, means
now to the State during the few months
in which it has been active, and what it
will mean if continued, may be left to
its citizens to consider.
"From the point of view of the in
spectors, as among the least of its bene-
fits, it will save the building of larger
jails, which until this revelation SEEM
ed imperative.

Orlando E. Frost Of Belfast, was in
troduced as postmaster. He said: "a
POSTMASTER is selected for one particular
qualification; he must have endurance.
The man who can stand the most abuse
usually gets to be POSTMASTER.
''Now there are some jobs which
are boys jobs and some tat are
mems jobs. A boy cant always do a
mans job as the following story will
show There was q barber who had a
very initiative pet monkey. One day the
barber was shaving an Irishman and
when the Irisbman's face was partly
lathered the barber vas called out for a
minute or two.
The monkey Immediately came and
took the brush, completed the lathering
operation and then picked up The razor
to start the shaving operation. This was
too much for the lrishman and he said:
" o. car pin the towel around me neck
and you can lather me face, but begorra
your fatner has got to shave me.
Mr.. Frost asked the boys to rise and
give three cheers each for jeff Smith
and A. A. Head, the TWO men who have
done more than any others for the boys

a will.
During the banquet the various del
egates gave their cheers and at one time
nine different delegations were giving
nine different cheers. At the close of
the banquet, Chairman Day introduced
John Taylor as the homEest man at the
Conference to lead cheer for the ladies'.

dinner was served in City Hall.
A meeting was held Saturday afternoon,
and in the evening Mr.. Fisher gave an
address in City Hail, which was illustrat-
ed by moving pictures. The farewell
meeting was held Sunday evening, at
which Mr.. Horace U. Day of Auburn,
State chairman of the Y. M. &. pre-
sided.
At meeting held Sunday afternoon
243 boys promised to become Christians.
Resolutions were passed calling for
State ''Go-to Church" Sunday and for
meeting of the leaders at Watervllle be-
tween now and the next conference to
make plans for completer system OF
representation and to fix the date. 1t is
estimated that 1900 persons were in City
hail at the farewell exercises, when all
the delegates joined hands and sang

And they had reason to be, as shown by
the report Of the prison and Jail inspect

sioners say:
There were in Kennebec county Jail
$50 less male commitments IN 1918 than

corridors, had an average of los for the
past six years and 112 for 1912, but only

This sc per cent reduction would mean
for the year 900 less of male commit

of large number to the ranks OF the
sober, working men of the country, a
fact of great economic value and OF par

would be of incalculable value and re-

In conclusion the commissioners say:
Through the State the number OF
prisoners in the jails is less by 36 per
