Girls With Beautiful Faces
 or Graceful Figures

American girls have a worldwide reputation for beauty, but, at the same time, there are girls in our cities who possess neither beauty of face nor form, because in these instances they suffer from nervousness, the result of disorders of the w6manly organism At regular intervals they suffer so much that their strength leaves them they are so prostrated that 1t takes days tor them to recover their strength. Of course. such periodic distress has its bad effect on the nervous system. The withered and drawn faces, the dark circles and crows feet about the eyes. the straight figure without those curves which lend so much to feminine beauty are the unmistakab1e signs of womanly disorders.
 When girl becomes a woman, when a woman becomes a mother, when a woman passes through the changes of middle life, are the three periods of life when health and strength are most needed to withstand the pain and distress often caused by severe organic disturbances.
 At these critical times women are best fortified by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription, an old remedy of proved worth that keeps the entire female system perfectly regu2ated and in excellent condition.
 Mothers. It your daughters are weak, lack ambition. are troubled with head aches. lassitude and are pale and sickly, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton is just what they need to surely bring the bloom of health to their cheeks and make ther2 strong and healthy.

Address of J. Humphreys to Farmers
 sIn compliance with the preceding ivote, hasten to address the patriotic sentiments and feelings of my fellow citizens. Few objects are, in my Judgment, of more vital importance, than the promotion of the agricultu- Tal and economical interests of the affected, than By the collection of practical know1edges on agriculture and the useful arts. Under this inn pression, it appears to me that false delicacy or undue reluctance, ought not to deter any one from commun- icating to the public such facts and observations as have come within his experience; and which, he judges, may be of practical utility
 ssEvery individual is therefore, earnestly solicited to contribute his mite Such a mass of acts and ob- together, would become an estimable treasure to the cultivators of the earth, by multiplying subsistence and comforts, enhancing the value of land and other property, and presenting the most effectual means of prevent ang enaigrations, as well as of in creasing the population and resources of the State.

Why Not Skowhegan!

Sheboygan, a town on the western
shore of Lake Michigan, has name
like enough to ours to create bond
of sympathy Starting in with the
letter S and ending with syllable
gan" it is suggestive of the name
given by the Kennebec Indians TO the
falls of the river at this point, from
which our town Is named
Sheboygan had population OF
1910 in 1880 and 1859 In 1890. AT
the end of the next census period she
had grown to 22.962 and she passed
the 10000 mark last year. This is
interesting for it is much the same
program for growth that SkOWhegan
las recently set her heart upon. one
of our citizens has engraved upon his
checks "SKOWHEGAN 2o.ooo POPC-
LATION IN 1925" If We do this, II
will be hitting a somewhat more rap
id pace than Sheboygan, but il eould
doubtless be accomplished if each cit
izen was ready, every minute, 10 do
his or her part. Congratulations 70
Sheboygan, anyway. She has good
name and has set us good example
