Variety In Punishment.

In the old days in England local
courts exercised much ingenuity in the
treatment of criminals Here Is q case
at Liverpool In October, 1865: Zone
Thomas johnson had been apprehend-
ed for picking purses. Apparently he
underwent no regular trial, but was
dealt with summarily, the program be-
Ing as follows: First he was impris-
oned several days and nights, and then
he was nailed by the ear to post at
the flesh shambles. AS the next item
he was turned out naked from the mid
die upward, and many boys with witty
rods whipped him out Of the town. He
was then locked to a clog with an iron
chain and horse block until the Friday
morning following and finally abjured
the town before the mayor and bailiffs,
at the same time making restitution Of
Is. Sd. to the wife Of one Henry Myln.'

DIGESTION WORTH HAVING

Good digestion is not appreciated un.
Ill you lose it. Then you cannot afford
to experiment on remedies. Strong
medicines are hard on weak stomache.
To be able to eat what you want and
to digest it is priceless blessing. If
you have lost it do not be deceived by
the claims of predigested foods and
stomach tonics, so-called.
There is no tonic for the stomach
that is not tonic for every other part
of the body. As the blood goes every
where, an improvements ite condition
quickly results in strengthening weak
organs. Rich, red blood is absolutely
necessary to digestion. If your stomach

all through the game as though both
teams were afraid Of what the other

do all that it could in the scoring line.
Colby supporters as a rule were dis
gusted with the showing of the team.

clared that it had gone back in every

Of Girl Farmers

Belfast, Me-, Oct. 29.-The honors
among the girls at the second annual
session of the Boys and Girls Agricul-
tural Clubs of Waldo county were won
Saturday by Miss Emma Slipp of this
city, who was pronounced by State
Leader r. p. Mitchell to be the cham

Miss Slipp produced proofs to show
that she had cleared 1926. on four
fifths of an acre of land, this season.
She is IS years old, daughter of
George L. Slipp, who lives on fine
farm. Emma was given a garden
patch which measured four-fifths of
an acre and left to her own devices as
to its cultivation.
She hired the ploughing and some
other work done, which was paid for
at full rates and charged to the invest
ment. On this patch she raised carrots,
beets, cabbages, turnips and potatoes.
doing all the cultivating and harvest
ing herself. as we'll as the marketing.
Some of the produce she shipped to
Boston. She also made numerous trips
to Belfast selling her vegetables at the
local markets and to customers about
the city, always finding ready de-
mand, as all were of excellent quail
ity.
Miss Slipp is bright and attractive
young woman, which no doubt helped
some.
Besides this work she attended Bel
fast High school while in session and
was active in various entertainments at
the Grange. When her carefully kept
accounts were footed up she had $226
cash left and paid all her bills.
She plans to keep up the work an
other season and with good luck she
will have money enough to take
course in the University Of Maine, all
of her own earning.

What Causes Colds ?
Some Of the Usual Reasons

Cold in the head, cold in the chest,
cold in the throat, or cold that set
ties in your back is all one and the
same thing. Gold is congestion,
often resulting from lowered vitality.
Drafts, getting chilled, and being ex-
posed to the weather will not give you
4 cold if your organs are active and
healthy. But when your stomach is
clogged with food, your liver slug
gish; the bowels obstructed. or the
circulation poor, then you take cold
easily because the system is con-
gested. To be free from colds, keep
the stomach, liver, bowels and blood

How Napoleon Go Officers.


Napoleon had a novel way Of obtain
ing officers to meet the needs OF the
ever growing army which the adoption
Of consumption brought about. Follow
ing the example of Frederick the
Great, he created new militi y caste.
He organized the great military college
Of st. Cyr and founded - cavalry
school where, in the wosds sEshis own
order, If well born tho cnndidates
should be examined With Indulgence
as regards knowledge Of arithmetic
and geometry"
Youths of good family were in many
cases compelled against their will to
go to st. Cyr. Strange as 1t may seem,
some Of the youths thus ''comman-
deered" and obliged to adopt military
vocation turned out brilliantly.-Lon-

they seemed to be frightened OF what
Colby was going to do and every time
they got hold Of the ball if it was in
their territory they kicked 1t as far
down the field as possible. Colby failed
to take advantage Of this as it was
seen early in the game that Maine was
playing one thing, but in spite OF this
Colby had but one man back to re-
ceive the ball and many yards were
lost by the ball striking the ground
and rolling along before back could
get to it.
200 Paid Admission
The crowd commenced to wend its way
to the field before o'clock and by the
time for the teams to appear on the
! field it had completely surrounded the
playing field and the bleachers and
grandstand were filed, while hundreds
Of automobiles were parked in every
available space. The crowd was undoubt-
eddy the largest that was ever on the
| field. 1t was estimated at as high as
5000 but as a matter of fact there were
Zoo paid admissions. The Maine sup.

on the west bleachers and the Colby boys
with their band had a position on the
east side Of the field. Both bands played
