PlNkLETS
A Dainty Laxative That Gently As
ssts Nature.

The day of harsh purgatives, of big
cathartic pills is OVERCOME forever.
No need any longer to swallow
nauseating dose to give nature the
gentle assistance required. Pinklets,
the new laxative, are tiny. pink
granules, sugar coated, easy to take
and smooth as velvet in their opera
ton.
Pinklets positively will not grippe.
They produce not single. distressing
symptom, yet their action is certain
and thorough.
Pinklets are just the laxative you
need to arouse the lazy, sluggish
bowels and torpid liver. Don't keep
on using harsh. strong purgatives for
they always upset the stomach and
leave the bowels irritated and in a
worse condition than before. Rely on
Pinklets to gently assist the bowels
and be free from constipation.
These little pills are corrective for
bad breath, will clear the complexion
and are recommended for torpid liver,
biliousness, headaches and constipa-
ton.
Any druggist can supply you with
Pinklets, % cents per bottle.
Write to the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady. N. Y, for a Pinklet
book which tells all about the right
way to treat constipation.-Adv.

aCanal Tolls" Revives

with the Mexican war cloud gather
ing darkly. then the powder flash and
blood. and war, the country has for
the moment overlooked the issue OF
whether or not we have right to
resent the British direction of our al
fairs.
with the hope of millions, if not
of every American, that the blood
shed is ended in Mexico, and that
out of it will spring some means Oh
ouieting the civil strife in that coun-
try, our people turn again to the CUES
ton of our sovereign control of the
canal zone.
A strong public feeling is expressed
roughly in these words:
IF other nations do not wish to
use our canal on our terms, let them
go around the Horn as before. That
is a truly American sentiment as we
understand property rights.
A farmer puts it this way:
II own a farm with large brook
or stream running through it. / con-
structed bridge to save valuable
time and expense in hauling seed, fer
tilizer and crops over and back. My
neighbors wish to use this bridge and
my driveways, because it saves them
a long drive around in going to mar
ket I agree to let them do so, eharg-
ing all alike that there may be no
favoritism or jealousy, to help me
maintain the bridge. In my agree
ment with my neighbors that all
should share alike, l did not think it
necessary to state that l did not pro-
pose 10 pay tell to myself. because of
my vastly greater use Of and more
immediate interest in, the bridge, and
because I am the collector of the tolls
and must see to it that the bridge
is maintained and protected at all
times, WHICH I DO NOT ASK MY
NEIGHBoRS TO DO"
We believe that the biggest men in
Congress will find it hard to get away
from the farmers logic.
Let us hope that the war is over and
that the Presidents move in Mexico
has resulted in great good, but let us
hope that the Panama canal tolls ques-
ton will not be settled until it is set
tied right.

Inercolized wax. Within week or two
the underlying skin, youthful and beauti-

One hundred and twenty years
ago Monday, April %, occurred
the events which resulted in an in
surrection for the independence of
Ireland. At midnight of that day
Dublin was in an uproar. The
doors of a local legislative reform
club. a branch of the United
Irishmen Society, burst open with
a crash, In the doorway stood the
scarlet coated soldiers of the
King, covering the assembled
Irishmen with their guns. The
leaders were arrested and carried
off to jail for treason. From this
moment dates the insurrection
that was fought out four years
later. ireland was flooded with
government troops. but the So
ciety grew rapidly. Oaths of
membership and secrecy were ad-
ministered. Pixies and munitions
of ear were secretly distributed
and hidden for the uprising. The
Society had over 100000 members
at the beginning of 1898. Stern
measures to stamp out the re-
bellion were instituted. The in
surreetion began near Spafford on
the Gath of May. 1t ragged for a
month, closing in the battle of
Vinegar Hill with victory for the
government The rebellion cost
the lives of 10000 Irishmen and
10000 English. Three years later
the Irish Parliament was removed
from Dublin and united with the
English at London.

Reliable News Reports.

So many of the large newspapers
of the country have sent staff men
to Mexico, and so many imitators are
flooding their columns with rehash
stuff and rank fakes, that readers are
sometimes confused by conflicting in
formation" Eagerly as Americans
devour war news they soon tire of
being fooled by big scares, and are
inclined to discredit all reports. On
that score we wish to call attention
to the uniform fairness and RELIABLE
ity of the Associated Press dispatches.
In the war" territory they have some
of the best men in the newspaper
business. In Washington, also, the
keenest minds are dealing with every
phase and it's significance.
The Kennebec Journal is receiving
many fiattering Communications of its
splendid news service. It's dispatches
are proving reliable in every instance.
In addition to the entire Associated
Press service the Journal uses only
such special reports as it's editors feel
absolutely sure of the accuracy. 1t
is giving today, unquestionably, the
most complete and readable news SER
vice of any paper in Maine. 1t has
the facilities for handling it, and a
staff of news editors experienced,
keen, alive, and students of news val
ues. They never indulge in mislead-
ing headlines for the sake of display,
nor do they attempt to thus influence
the readers opinions. They give you
the news under headlines that sum-
Marie the facts.
II you are reading the Kennebec
Journal today you are getting a COM
plete resume of world affairs. every
thing of domestic Importance, and all
the details of home events The Ken
nebec Journal stands as one of the
ideal newspapers for the American
home. clean and fearless, for moral
and intellectual progress, and oppos-
ing vice and greed in every form.

fed by later returns.

Then and Now

Today, after more than a CEN
tury under the rule of the Par
lament at London, it is proposed
to restore the Irish Parliament
taken away in 1901, and to give
Ireland home rule. The country
is split in two over the PROPOSE
ton. The province of Ulster at
the north declares against the
proposal, while the balance of
Ireland demands it. The House
of Commons has twice passed the
bill, and the third passing, when
the bill becomes law, is near.
More than 100000 men of Ulster
stand in defiance against the pro-
posed government. They are or
ganized into a citizen army with
some of Great Britain's greatest
soldiers as their leaders. They
are drilling and learning to shoot
straight. Munitions of war are
being gathered. A fund of
100000 is being raised for the
support of the dependent rela-
tives of the volunteers who may
be wounded or killed in the fight
ing" The leaders of the govern
ment are striving to avert civil
war by eonciliatory measures.
More than $4,000 British troops
are assembled today in the gov
eminent barracks in Ulster to put
down any uprising.

In the contest for the trade of South
America three nations, England, Ger
many and the United States, are the
great competitors according to pub
Field" just issued by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
the United States Department of Com
merce. Germany and England both
lead the United States, the former
having in 1912 about s177,1oo,oOo of
the import trade and the latter s275,-
100000 as compared with s152900, 900
of imports supplied by the United
States. Several causes have con-
tributed to this lead of the two Euro
pean countries, but the chief one is
that both have been on the ground and
working for the trade for many years.
The exporters of the United States
have made serious efforts to enter the
market only in the last four or five
years. The very large amount of
British capital invested in all parts of
South America has also been an i'm
portant factor in promoting British
trade, while the German thoroughness
in matters of detail and the German
banks have served to build up an
enormous German import trade.
