NEuRlLeIA,S ONE SYMPTOM

Neuralgia is disease which has but
one syMptom-pain.
The pain of neuralgia is sharp and
ahooting with intervals of freedom.
An attack of neuralgia does not give
immunity but occurrences are the rule.
The same nerve is generally affected
which means that this particular nerve
has lost its resistance and that there
will be recurring attacks until the
strength OF the nerve is built up.
How can the strength of a nerve be
restored? The nerves are nourished en-.
tirely by the blood and weak nerves are
toned up by supplying to the blood the
elements that the nerves lack. As the
general health and strength of the
patient are built up the nerves resume
their normal functions, Inflammation
caused by lack of nutrition disappears
and the neuralgic attacks cease.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a tonic
exceptionally we'll suited for the treat
ment of neuralgia because they contain
no alcohol, stimulating or habit-form-
ing drugs. The tonic treatment with
these pills is well worth a trial by any
sufferer from neuralgia.
Write today for booklet on nervous
disorders to the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells the pills or they will be
sent postpaid at 80 cents per box.

NOTE: You've all undoubtedly heard
of the famous DR.. Pierce and his we'll
known medicines. Well, this prescrip-
ton is one that has been successfully
used for many years by the physicians
and specialists of DR.. Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y, for kidney complaints, and dis
eases arising from disorders OF the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
OF the bladder, scalding urine, and
urinary troubles.
Up to this time, cAnuric" has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
persuasion of many patients and the
Increased demand for this wonderful
healing Tablet, DR.. Pierce has finally
decided to put it into the drug stores
of this country within immediate reach
of all sufferers.
I know of one or two leading drug
eists in town who have managed to
procure a supply OF "Anuric" for their
anxious customers in and around this
locality. IF not obtainable send one
dime by mail to DR.. Pierce for trial
package or so cents for full treatment.
EDITOR Please insert this letter in
some conspicuous place in your paper.

Evadina Domestic Issue.

President Wilson's statement. in a
recent speech, that the world now
turns eagerly, more and more eagerly
toward the hope Of peace" is believed
to indicate an inclination on his part
to take some initiative looking to the
termination Of the war. The Demo-
Gratis are hard up for a genuine po-
litical issue on which to wage the COM
| ing campaign. 1t is we'll recognized
that their fiscal policy has broken
down, and the demand from all sec.
tons Of the country, particularly from
the South, that they change their COM
mercial policy, resulted in proposals to
! incorporate in the St Louis platform
certain features of the Republican
protective policy. But they realize
that the voters do not take much stock
! in campaign conversions. The social
ed foreign policies, form a subject
which the Democrats do not care to
debate chiefly because they find no
if, through any combination of cir
cumstances, Mr.. Wilson can secure the
selection of himself as arbiter in the
consideration of an European peace
pact, it is believed that would send
his stock to such a height that the
many slogans tentatively adopted by
the Democracy will be discarded and
that Wilson with a crown Of olive,
Nobel peace medal, and the dove Of
peace nesting in his vest pocket, will
stalk the states to Republican undo
ing
Criticism by the American press IS
chiefly directed to the fact that the
Presidents speech indicates a dispo-
sition to get away from the policy Of
Washington and Jefferson,-that Of
mo entangling alliances" Mr.. Wilson
processes to speak for the American
people when he suggests "a universal
association of the nations to maintain
the inviolate security Of the highway
of the seas" to prevent war, a virtual
guarantee Of territorial integrity and
political independence ETC. The press
view of any such proceeding is epito-
mized in an editorial Of the Pittsburg
Gazette Times, which says: THE en-
trance of the United States upon this
course of action means the abandon
ment forever of the policy of isolation
in international affairs so dear to the
heart Of Washington and re-enuncia-
ted by others Of our presidents. It
means, that so far from steering clear
of the 'entanglng alliances of Europe
and the rest of the world, we shall
plunge at once into ali of them" Like
most of his speeches. that Of May 9th
promises to do Wilson more harm than
good.

carina for Families Of Guardsmen.

Thursdays Kennebec Journal car
ried the news from Gen. Presson's Of
fee that the Bangor city government
had voted to care for the families OF
the National guards!cen Of that city,
wherever necessary, while the bread
winners of these families are in the
service. Gen. Presson was enthusiast
tic over this evidence Of practical
patriotism, and we have no doubt that
everywhere the news was read, the
same telling of warm respect for Ban
gor was aroused.
But Bangor is not alone in her
patriotism: other cities have already
arranged Just as patriotic measures.
Indeed we are glad TO announce that
e. Augusta guardsmen need feel nc
anxiety concerning the aged fathers
and mothers or the wives and children
left slmly provided for at home. Each
and all will be cared for, and it shall
. not be done in the name of charity.
either; 1t is to be done because those
Of US who cannot go in the ranks de-
sire to feel that we are doing a part,
and it shall be proud duty to see
that the loved ones of The Boys in
Khaki are cared for.
Not only cities and towns are aris-
ing to the occasion but large indus
trial concerns are notifying their en-
ployes that jobs will be held good for
the boys who enlist. and one firm
makes agreement to increase the gov
eminent pay drawn by its employees in
service until it amounts to two-thirds
of the sum paid by the firm itself at
the time of enlistment
At a special session of the Augusta
city government, Friday evening, tho
matter Of providing tor the families OF
the guardsmen will be taken up. Mayor
Viles assures us that the city govern
ment will take charge of all provisions
but hopes a popular subscription will
be raised for the families of the men in
the service, in order to remove all
faint Of aid from the city which
sounds SO forbidding to sensitive
minds
The main thing to be considered a.
this time is the assurance to the boys
entering the service that families de-
pendent upon them shall not be left
destitute in their abse nee. If the peo-
pie do not promptly contribute for the
care of such families, the city govern
ment will do so.

Lumber and Gold

COMPARISONS are very frequently
useful in order to get an estimate OF
true values. At the recent session OF
the National Lumber Association, It
vas stated that the total value OF
years output Of American lumber Is
about s1,s75, 100000. The annual pro-
duction of gold in this country is less
than s10O,O0o,o0o. The production Of
gold goes on pretty much the same
year after year, for its value. and the
market for it, changes little. But lum-
Der production, and the demand for 1t,
varies with the general industrial sit
uation. When times are good and all
industries are thriving, there is plen-
ty Of construction work Of all kinds
going on. Then lumber is In demand
and all the mills operate full time at
high wages. A protective tariff, which
ipsures prosperity in all lines, is the
great essential Of an active lumber
market. The lumberman is really no
more interested in a tariff on lumber
than he is in a general protective tar
if policy which keeps all industries
prosperous. The people of the country
should feel about twenty times as
much interest in the lumber industry
as they do in the production of gold.

Anti Dumping Legislation Inadequate.

While Democrats acknowledge the
danger Of foreign competition in
American markets, they propose tc
meet the danger with experimental
subterfuges instead of by means of the
tried and satisfactory protection of an
adequate import duty. Said Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, in a recent
address:
"A Democratic Congress, out of
difference to any honest apprehen-
sion that may exist in the minds of
q business men, will enact legislation
against the dumping of cheap Euro
pean goods in our markets and will
prohibit by law unfair competition by
foreign competitors with American
business men and manufacturers.
While / do not believe these meas
ures are essential. l favor them SIM
ply as a precaution and as an assur-
ance to the timid and hesitating."
The legislation might also catch a
few votes.
In order to show that an anti
dumping law will not be effective In
protecting American industry, let us
take as an illustration an article OF
trade known as "16-inch shallow opal
lamp shade, one end finished" and
compare its labor cost in Weiswasser
Germany, with the cost in this coun
try:

Light and Airy
A Bystander's View.

(Richmond Times-Dispatch)
The gowns the pretty maidens wear
In this warm season of the year
To modest men like me appear
To be a trile shocking;
They amt intended to conceal;
This fact with others, they reveal
They stop so far above the heel
They show just lots of stocking.
They're built of gauze and net and things
So frail their aspect always brings
Fear that unlucky happenings
May rend them quite asunder:
While to mere mans untutored eye
Kept open as fair maids drift by
There seems of clothes no great supply
Such webbed creations under.
Of course. it's no affair of mine.
So criticism | resign.
Content my interest to confne
To quite respectful glances;
And yet it does appear to me,
These pretty n1aidens that l see,
CARRIED as they are. do certainly
Take some tremendous chances.

Maine Gossip


betsy Ross made the first flag with
stars and stripes in Philadelphia during
June, It's, at the instance of General
Washington
From dusk till dawn the livelong night
She kept her tallow dips alight,
And fast her nimble fingers flew
To sew the stars upon the blue.
With weary eyes and aching head
She stitched the stripes of white and red
And when the Gay came up the stair
Complete across carven chair
Hung Betsy's battle flag.
Like shadows in the evening gray
The Continentals filed away,
With broken boots and ragged coats,
With hoarse defiance in their Threats;
They bore the marks of want and cold,
And some were lame and some were old,
And some with wounds INTENDED bled,
But floating bravely overhead
Was Betsys battle flag.
When fell the battles leaden rain.
The soldier hushed his means of pain
And raised his dying head to see
King Georges troopers turn and fee.
Their charging column reeled and broke,
And vanished in the rolling smoke,
Before the glory of the stars.
The snowy stripes and scarlet bars
OF Betsey's battle flag.
The simple stone of Betsy Ross
Is covered now with mold and moss,
But still her deathless banner flies,
And keeps the color of the skies.
A nation thrills, a nation bleeds,
A nation follows where it leads.
And every man is proud to yield
His life upon crimson field
For Betsy's battle flag.

Wages per day.
S4.25

With longer hours of labor the Ger
man group of operatives will turn out
la shades per day; the American
group, 124 shades. The German labor
cost Of production per dozen will be
about IS cents; the American cost is
s1.6o per dozen. With a labor cost in
Germany less than one-fourth that Of
the labor cost in this country. is it
likely that a dumping law will keep the
Weiswasser product cut Of our market q?
And this applies to hundreds of other
industries.
The anti-dumping legislation pro-
posed at this eleventh hour by the
Democrats. to catch votes, can only be
invoked where a country is dumping
its goods on our home market at a
price less than the fair market price of
the same article in the country Of
origin. A fair market price on this 1s
inch shade in Germany, would be far
below the actual cost of production
here, but the anti-dumping clause
could not be applied to meet the situa
ton.
Don't let the Democrats fool you
with any such vote-catching device.
They had Z chance to enact an anti
dumping, clause when the Democratic
tariff law was being framed, and It
was thrown out. What is needed is u
protective tarife law working with an
anti dumping clause.
