England had behaved in the present crisis, the
duchess replied
English women have risen 20 the occasion
magnificently. The whole responsibility of the
war. in fact. seems to have been realized by
them almost before it was realized by the mcn.
1t is largely owing to them that the recruiting
has been so good.

Every woman in America-that IS to say,

TWO MOTHERS TELL
How Their Sickly Children Were
Made Strong and Well

For six years our little girl suffered
from a bronchial trouble, she had no
appetite, could not sleep and was so
nervous we had to keep her out Of
school. The doctors said nothing but
change of climate would help her.
We were discouraged. when one day a
friend asked us to try Vinol, and after
taking six bottles she does not look
like the same child. She has a fine
appetite, is lively, healthy and well,
and Vinol did it ALL" Mrs r. E. HUFF
ford, lola, kas.
Another child made strong:
1.-The measles left my little girl thin
and delicate, and the doctors medi-
cine did not seem to build her up. I

and her improvement was rapid, her
strength returned and she is now as
well as ever" Mrs. e. Linot. Pittsburg.

No Need to Worry
on Cash Balance,
Says the Governor
"Will Be Well Cared for by tho Admin

There is no occasion for people
worrying in regard to the large cash
balance in the treasury" said the
Governor. 1T will be well cared for
by the administration and will be ex-
pended as occasion calls for it in
conservative and business-like way,
according to the best ability OF the
Governor and Council.
THE Governor and Council are not
going blindly into the proposition of
expending money because they are
trying to profit by experiences of past
administrations whereby large amounts
Of State money have been actually
wasted by hurried decisions without
considering all angles of the situation.
The Home for the Feeble Minded will
be remembered as a fair illustration
of great deal of money wasted. Con-
servative methods have been used by
the committee for the State reforma-
tory for women. In selecting property
for such an institution there are many
things to be considered, such as water
light, sewerage and transportation ia.
cilities. all Of which if carefully con-
sidered will mean a great saving to
the State in years to come. Too often
these points have been neglected with
the result that the maintenance of
some Of the institutions are remark
ably heavy. This could all have been
avoided with a little more care in their
inception.

The Journal Of April II, this year,
told of the tender to the State by
George B. kenniston of Boothbay
Harbor Me, of a relic of the days of
the Civil War. a flag made from the
flannel shirts worn by Union sailors
and soldiers while in the rebel prison
at Salisbury, n. c. The offer was
promptly accepted by Adjutant Cen
eral Presson, to whom the letter was
and is now in the care Of Curator T.
A. James of the State Museum, where
it will be placed in a conspicuous po-
sition.
Next to the returned Maine battle
flags, some Of them stained with the
blood of their defenders, no relic OF
the great conflict so stirs the feelings
of the observer as this flag. Faded
and stained, though in an excellent
state of preservation, showing the
frayed edges, just as the cloth was
torn into strips by the hands of the
men, with the irregular in shape but
ever bright stars, with the coarse sew
ing by mems hands and the ravelings
for thread, it tells as tory of patriot
ism and devotion to flag and country
seldom II ever excelled.
The flag measures about 80 inches
by 4S inches and the work was so vel!
cone that, protected in it's glass case
1t will last for many, many years as
reminder Of the brave men and true
who suffered and gave their lives that

Engineer Lynch at
Fault for Accident

The Public Utilities Commission
Thursday rendered decision in the
accident in the Grand Trunk Railway
yard at Portland when one engineer
and two firemen, employees of the road,
were injured by collision of two
switching engines at $50 P. NJ, April
3, 1916. Two of the men were dis
charged from the hospital on the fol-
lowing day while the third, Fireman
Roy Parker, suffered fracture of the
ankle
The report goes into details of GER
tain unusual conditions existing in the
yard as we'll as certain unusual train
conditions at that time and finds that
the collision above described was due
to the failure Of Engineer Lynch to OBJ
serve the provisions of Rule 49,"
cooperating Rule No. SO, under which
he was bound to operate, and which
was known to him, provides:
Within yards defined by yard limit
boards, the main track may be used
keeping clear OF first and second class
trains.
THE main track must not be so
used within yard limits until it is
known that all sections Of er-due
first and second class trains have ar
lived.
"All trains except first and second
class trains must, unless otherwise di-
rected. approach and pass through
yard limits prepared to STOP unless the
main track is seen, or known, to be
clear.
yellow lights must be attached to
the yard limit boards, to be kept light
ed from sunset to sunrise"
He did not know that the track
ahead Of him was clear; it was not
clear. He had no right to relv upon
the practice of carrying three ground
men to a switching crew, so that one
could act as rear flsgman. He him
self was operating over the same
track two men short: and while this
did not contribute to the accident, it
was noticed that the practice of carry ,
ing three was not sufficient reason for
ignoring the plain provisions Of the
rule. 1t is the duty Of railroad en-
ployes to conform their conduct to the
operating rules, whether they approve
them or not. Otherwise there Is
bound to be confusion when two or
more crews are involved.
I'VE find that the collision above
described was due to the failure Of
Engineer Lynch to observe the provi-
sions of Rule 3d."

Peaks island Water Rates.

rates charged by the Feaks Island
Corporation and the company has been
notified according to the law
The compiainants allege that the
Peaks Island Corporation in the adop-
ton of its new schedules of rates in
creased its charges for the use Of
water for one family, not exceeding
four faucets, 81 per year and for first
water closet, an increase of 81 per
year, and that such increase in the
rate was not justified by the financial
condition of the corporation and is not
row justified by the present circum-
stances Of the company nor by the flu
ture prospects of it's business and
therefore was and is unreasonable
