Bethmann-HolIweg, German
 Chancellor, Is 59 Today

Dn TheobaId Theodore Frederic Alfred won Bethmann-HoIwegg the Chancellor of the German Empire will begin his sixtieth year today, as he was born on Nov. 29, 1856, at Ho- henfnow, in the Province of Bran- denburg. lie has held his present high position in the Kaiser's govern mert since 1909, and prior to that time was Prussian and Imperial Min ister of the Interior. The Chancellor holds the rank of MajCkr in the Prus- sian army, and, before the war, often wore on state occasions a British army uniform. In the present critical stage in German history the Chancel1or's s duties are varied and important. He has exercised supervision of the food supply, and has authority to set a high limit above which prices may not go. The Chancellor has already fixed maximum prices for all the foods in general uses and his limited the consumption of meat by estab- fishing se-calIed~ ''meat1ess days" |" when no subject of the Emperor, from lowest to highest, may eat meat. Dr. won BethmannzHollweg recently as- serted that these regulations were not to be considered as signs of famine, and added that by such careful ulation of the country could be assur- ed that the hopes of the Eentente powers of starving out Germany would be disappointed.
 Dr. von Bethmann-Hol1weg is the fifth German Chancellor since the for nation of the empire in 1871, when Bismarck assurhed that post. In ap pearance he is big, awkward and ungain1y, and looks more like a from tiersman dressed in his Sunday best than the scion of a, family which for generations has reveled in wealth, and luxury. He has a slight admixture of Jewish blood in his veins, since one of his ancestors was a. Jewish banker of Frankfort, named Bethmann, whose son married into the German noble family of HolIweg, and thus founded the family of Bethmann- HoIlweg. Throughout his public ca reer the Chancellor has been the earn est and enthusiastic advocate of the doctrine of the, divine right. of gings. He has upheldA Athe Kaiser in all his acts, and on one memorable occasion he told the Reichstag that the people of the empire had no rights not con ferred upon them by the Emperor, who was the sovereign and supreme ruler, independent of all and of. everything save God and his own conscience.

YOUR HEAD AND STOMACH

Headache caused by a disturbed di-
gestion is nearly always accompan-
led by pain in the stomach, belching
OF gas, vomiting and often by con-
stipation. This sort of headache is
generally located in the forehead ana
is not constant but comes and goes.
1t does not come ON Immediately
after eating but after the food has had
time to ferment which it does because
the digestive fluids that should take
care Of it are insufficient. because the
glands that secrete these fluids are
weak, because the blood is failing to
nourish these glands properly.
Rich, red blood IL the first essential
to proper digestion and the digestive
process cannot 60 on without it. When

Game Warden E. W. Ward Of Milf
nocket has reported the prosecution o;
Clayton H. Towle of Bangor, charged
with having 40 trout in his possess
sion caught in one day. He was adj
judged guilty and fined $3.50 with
costs-$s.30. Warden Ward says tina.
he boarded the train at Norcross and
that Towle got aboard the same train
at Perkins Siding. He noticed that
Towle was carrying two suit cases and
says the suit cases aroused suspicion
in his mind because Of their appear
ance. He examined them and found
the trout. At the next station, he
says, the man attempted to leave the
train but he intercepted him on the
platform. In order to get him safely
before a court he finally handcuffed
him. Towle is young man about "a
years of age. He appealed his case.
