YOU CAN HAVE PINK CHEEKS

What causes the color to fade from
pink cheeks and red lips? In word
it is thin blood.
When the fading color in cheeks and
lips is accompanied by loss of bright
ness in the eyes and an increasing
heaviness in the step, the cause is to DO
sought in the state of the blood.
A hundred causes may contribute to
the condition OF thin blood that is
known as anemia. Overwork, lack of
outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and
sleep, improper diet, these are few
of them. The important thing is to re-
store the blood to normal, to build it
up so that the color will return to
cheeks and lips.

The Sleepy inferno.

They tell the following story Of a New
York physician, who as an inferno in a
Chicago hospital some years ago Incl
dentally held his own with a crowd of
rather gay friends
One morning the inferno awoke to find
that he had sadly oversight. Half dazed,
he put on his clothes, and made his way
to the hospital. Tho first patient was a
big Irishman.
What seems to be the trouble?" asked
the sleepy inferno. as he stifled a yawn
and took his patient by the hand to get
his pulse.
Its me lungs, doc," said the man.
They're in a bad way. 1 can't get me
breath at ALL"
Your pulse is normal. but let me exam.

A Different Fourth.

The Scouts drill and show their skill
At. first aid, as you see.
Their pranks are few; helpful crew
They really wish to be.
I. as kid. much damage did
Among my kin and kith.
Most all the lads gave angry dads
Much woe to reckon with.
Fourth of July for us was pie,
We ran things with a whoop.
And when our fun at last was done
We made a sorry group.
Now what a chance; no pirates range,
No frightened CANNES yelp.
And on the Fourth to prove their worth,
The Boy Scouts render help.

STATE AUDITOR:
Roy L. Wardwell
A Misguided Friend.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The Journal editorial of June q entitled
the Right Course at Last" has been read
with considerable surprise by wide circle
editorial in question claims to reflect the
publicity attitude of the newspapers to-
ward American industry. In the present
wage controversy between the railroads
and the brotherhoods for example, you
say, mo safe dependence can be placed
on the claims of either side" and in the
public interests you think the contestants,
that is to say these conflicting and unre-
liable claims, should be left to fight it out
in your advertising columns. and further
more you come to the general conclusion
that II a few other interests with axes
to grind would come forward and pay for
that which they are now trying to bum
from the newspapers they would get
along faster and have more friends
Now in relation to this matter of news
paper publicity and in the interests of all
, concerned 1 hope the kennebec Journal
will give me space in which to call atten-
ton to the public function of the modern
newspaper. And to begin with let US I'M
derstand that the newspaper is a public
trust. 1t has huge educational RESPONSE
bility. Specifically and truly it's function
is exactly what the Journal editorial
people in liberal measure as information
the stories of social and industrial hap
penings from every obtainable point of
view. What the public today does want
. open, extensive and impartial discussion
Of public problems. On the other hand,
and just as certainly. what the public
does not want are bought and paid for
partisan statements. Newspaper publicity
in matters of great public interest should
not be allowed to degenerate into
scramble between pocketbooks. The paid
for statements from the railroads and the
brotherhoods would never appear if the
public press was onto it's Job And be-
sides, advertisements and healthy circu
lation are the natural rewards of impair
tiAl and generous spreading of the news.
American industry today then, and the
railroads perhaps In particular, are in
need of publicity. In every sense of the
term business in this country during the
past few years has been very big. Both
the employer and the .employe have very
important stories to tell to the people in
regard to their work, their pay rolls. their
problems in general. To get true and
fair pictures of American industry and
into the public mind is the opportunity
and function of newspaper publicity.
Furthermore. there is nothing unfair or
underhand about the present demand for
publicity on the part of railroad mana
gers. railroad brotherhoods and business
interests in general. In fact it is a very
satisfactory and healthy indication and
with the help of the press, saner and
safer legislation and all manner of social
and industrial benefits to the people at
large may be expected to follow in its
train.

Maine Gossip
A Hand on the Shoulder.

When a man amt got a cent.
And he's feeling kind of blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heavy.
And won't let the sunshine through,
It's a great thing, Q my brethren,
For a Teller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort o. way.
1t makes a man feel curious:
1t makes the teardrops start,
And you sort o. feel f1utter
In the region of the heart:
You can look up and meet his eyes;
You don't know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort o way.
Oh, the worlds a curious compound.
With it's honey and its gall;
With its cares and bitter crosses
But a good world after all.
And a good God must have made it
Leastways, that is what say.
When a hand is on my shoulder
In friendly sort O. way.

the other says az false. and the gen
eral public has no appetite for endless
columns Of senseless claims and de-
that settle nothing. mostly
wrong or misleading and none Of it
safe as information"
II our friend has something which.
in his own selfish interest, he thinks
will pay him to get before the public,
let him hire a hall and interest the
public if he can. That is his own job.
And, further, by what right can any
bigoted individual claim that some one
else, not directly interested in his az
fairs, shall furnish the hall, or the
newspapers?
If unions or big interests" have
something to say to the public they
are as well able to pay for the space
and do so openly over their own sigma
lures, as we are to give it to them.
When they say things that way they
are more careful of the facts than they
are when they can sneak in and beg
the newspaper to say it for them.
Newspapers are about done with
pulling chestnuts out Of the fire for
those too cowardly Or too selfish to do
their own work.
So far as this newspaper is con-
cerned, we propose to let parties to
while in our news columns and edi-
torially we shall attemept to give our
readers the facts and interpret the
proba bilities. We propose to discuss,
public problems but we dc
not propose to let someone else dis
cuss it for US and their hand not ap-
pear, as Mr.. Pagan seems to demand.
We pay dearly for our space and il
Mr.. Pagan or any other party to
a dispute wishes to occupy some Of
Our space, let him pay for it. Then
we shall comment on what both
say as appears just and instructive to
our readers.
The arguments and claims put out by
the railroads and the brotherhoods is
not news" and We are publishing a
newspaper.
Mr.. Pagan discounts all his other
nonsense by saying: THE paid for
statements from the railroads and the
brotherhoods would never appear if the
public press was onto it's job" He
seems to prefer that they be printed as
the papers own utterances and not
from one side or the other as prepared
by the paid spouters and publicity bu.
reaus of union or railroad.
This newspaper has been approached
by those interested on both sides, each
Of which offered both "editorial' and
news" for US to publish as our own
all FREE. Wouldn't that be fine
information" for our subscribers?
Right here let us assure this Mr..
Pagan and all those like him, that this
newspaper is onto its job" sufficiently
to see to it that these Statements"
do NOT appear unless they are paid
for, and we shall retain the right
to tell our readers the FACTS after
both sides have made their state
ments.
If industry has story to tell for its
own advantage let industry tell its
story at it's own expense and not ours,
over its own signature and not ours,
and then the public will know with
whom it is dealing. Our friends silly
assumption that everybody's burden
should be carried free by the newspaper
betrays the depth Of thought he has
given the question into which he has
jumped for the sake Of showing others
how little they know and how much he
knows.

Editorial Comment
Life Free from "Fireworks."
(Rockland Courier-Gazette.)

Rockland Courier-Gazette.)
No man in Maine has enjoyed longer
term of public service, or laid down his
burden at the end with clearer title to
the plaudits Of his fello- citizens, than
the late Senator Burleigh. His life was
free from attempts at fire
works. but it was always to be remarked
Of him that he was ION the job The
State that he represented in the national
House and Senate knew how to depend
upon him and it's trust never was be-
trayed. If the man who goes to Washing
to to succeed to Senator Burleigh's place
learns to do only measurably as we'll he
will be numbered among the men attain
ing to high success in the public life of
Maine.
