Crude Instrument,

"These ancient microscopes were
very crude instruments compared with
those of today. They were, however
sufficiently powerful to reveal myriads
OF living things in the clear atmoS-
phere as we'll as in a tumbler Of clear
water, but they left Us TO Imagine q
great unseen living world beyond the
power of the new instrument and that
is even so today with our most i'm
proved microscopes.
"In the hands Of scientists the mi
croscope has revealed from time to
time teeming life of bacteria every
where phesent Some of these min
ute organisms are the friends and
some the deadly foes Of man. Vege-
table and indirectly animal life depend
upon their work.
Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, ty-
plus fever, tetanus and other diseases
are the result Of certain of these BAG
terra, which can be seen only by the
aid Of the microscope. There is evil

"An army OF scientific workers is
today occupied in the study Of bac-
terioIogy for the purpose Of discover
ing the organisms that produce the
different diseases, and then 70 push
on with the idea Of discovering that

fare Of humanity-indeed, II is that
which forms the foundation OF pre-
paredness.
There is constant warfare be-
tween these little single celled organ
lsIns and man. The bacteria have the
the advantage Of reproducing them
selves in untold numbers and Of adapt
Ing themselves to different environ
ments, and when the conditions sur
rounding them suit their existence
they produce great epidemics Of dis
ease that man is unable TO resist The

Health Commissioner.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 12.-Prob-
ably few persons except those who
pursue scientific study or work give
much thought TO what the human race
owes the microscope, but Dr. Samuel
G. Dixon, state commissioner OF health
places it at the forefront of the life
saving inventions OF man. DR., Dixon
devotes his Little Talk on Health
and Hygiene" this week TO The MI
croscope," giving a brief comment up
on the constant warfare between man
kind and germs. He says:
no single invention has made pos
sible a greater saving of human life
than the microscope. Its origin dates
back to antiquity. There is every
reason to believe that the ancicnts
had some knowledge OF the use of the
single lens. The compound micro
scope was probably invented shortly
after the middle ages. The Italians
and the Dutch both claim the d.scoy-
erY.

their 9th birthday last Friday with trip to

had evidently been taught her manners.
This recalls another old-time incident in
which gratitude was expressed in origi-
nal but heartfelt terms. AS an errand
boy for his grandmother the writer had
carried some food to an elderly and needy
woman, who thus expressed her thanks:
"Thank you for bringing ont; thank
your marin for sending ont, and thank
the good Lord for putting it into her
head to do it" We doubt if like offerings
today are received with such thanks.
After the home the school is largely
respo sible for the department of our
future citizens, and in this direction there
has evidently been improvement in one
respect at least. In the past pugilist
rather than a student was required to
keep order in the country schools, as it
was the usual thing for the 'big boys"
to attempt to ''ire" the teacher, and
they often succeeded. Many illustrations
could be given of personal advancement
and business success due to good man.

If it was more generally recognized
there would be Jess rudeness on the part
of many who do not mean to be rude but
who have never been taught to be courte-
GUS and polite. That "times have changed"
is evidenced by the fact that we hear oc-
casionally of a lady or gentleman of the
cold school," and in the communities
where they are found they are deserved
ly held in great respect. The home IS of
course the place where instruction in de-
pertinent should begin, and parental dis
cipline today is not what it was in the
past. There is less restraint and there
are more Spoiled children" But we
should not recommend the harsh, though
no doubt effective, method of one Betty
Clark, who lived years ago in little

you when you come home. Guess I'll

she did, and no doubt Albert "made

THE WILSON ADMINISTRATIONS
Reviewed by Col. Theo dore Roosevelt.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Sept. 30
Speaking to more than $4,000 persons
who were packed in a cold circus tent
here this afternoon, Theodore Roosevelt
assaled the administrative record OF
President Wilson and urged the election

He was received with a wild ovation.

election four years ago.

1914, to Feb. 10, 1916, took Al different
positions about preparedness and the
measures necessary to secure 1t, and each
of these Al positions contradlcted from
one to six of the others. The European
policy of President Wilson, particularly
in the Lusitania case, was referred to as
''humiliating and ignoble,
The Mexican record of the executive
was called "ruinious to Mexico, dishon-
orable to ourselves and Infamous from
the standpoint of humanity"
Discussing the Adamson bill, Mr..
Roosevelt charged that President Wilson
in urging passage of the measure by Con-
gress "took his orders from that one of
the parties which he most feared" He
added:
"We have seen in this country few
things more discreditable to our repre-
sentatives and more ominous for the fu-
ture of the nation than the spectacle of
the President and Congress of the United
States being required to pass certain
bill before certain hour at the dictation
of certain men who sat in the gallery
with their watches in their hands threat
ening ruin and disaster to the nation if
there was the smallest failure to satisfy
their demands"
The colonel referred to the torpedoing
of the Lustania by German submarine
as "the most colossal single instance of
the murder of nom combatants, including
men, women and children, that had been
perpetrated by any power calling itself

September 18th, the prominent Duslness
men of Rockland met and formed Good
Government Association for the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic and other forms
of vice. Camden had previously formed
a like association, and Vinalhaven has
since organized for law enforcement.
The Rockland Opinion of Sept. 2Sth tes-
titled as follows to the good results of
the movement in that city:
The week of rigid enforcement that
has followed the ACTIVITY OF the Good
Government association has resulted in
a rather surprising failure OF the crop Of
DRINKS delivered at the police station, in
dicating that the crusade was complete
and efficacious. Reports from many en-
ployers also indicate that their labor sup
DIV is more steady and reliable, while
most of the merchants welcome the re-
tirement OF the slot machines and punch
cards from the counters.
The Rockland Courier Gazette just be-
fore going to press with its issue OF
Sept. 26th received the following wire
less message from Criehaven:
We. the undersigned inhabitants of
Criehaven, do positively refuse to allow
any person or persons to bring intoXicat-
ing liquors of any kind to Criehaven, for
any purpose other than medical pur
poses. my person or persons violating
the above will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.

In Vinalhaven T. E, Libby, public
spirited citizen, started the ball rolling
by circulating paper in the form of
pledge. whose wording implied that the
subscriber was willing to support and
back up the officers in an impartial en-
forcement of the law, aiming especially
at violations of the prohibitory and gam
bling laws. A large number of repre-
sentative citizens signed the document,
nearly all of the business men.
At meeting called later, at which many
representative citizers were present, the
object of the movement was set forth
and the need of taking some drastic
measures to curb the evils complained of
eInpudSlZeu. Lively oiO PiOoche w as
called upon and all deplored the existing
conditions and expressed willingness to
support the effort to remedy them.
Word had been received that Sheriff
Hobbs was willing to do his duty if 1t
was clear to him that the citizens de-
manded it and it was voted to instruct
the selectmen Of the town, who were
present, to communicate with the sheriff
with view to the carrying out the wishes
of the meeting. An organization was

A COMBINATION
THAT WORKS WELL
Doing an Immense Amount Of Good.

No other medicines possess such
curative properties as these two great
restoratives, Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills, working together.
They reach the impure, impover-
ished, poisoned, devitalized blood, and
the worn, run down. overworked, ex-
hausted system. They awaken the
appetite, aid digestion, purify and
yitalize the blood, give renewed
strength to the whole body, produce
sound, natural sleep, and a complete
restoration to good health. Two dollars
invested in these two medicines will
bring better results than four dollars
spent in any other course OF treatment
or attendance.
1t will be wise to get Hoods Sarsa-
