to overcome the habit of fussy dressing,

into the campaign.
Any act, personal or legislative, that
works for the health and comfort of one
baby or million babies, is an important
act. A baby is only small and noisy
animal-but this is only small and noisy
planet. The milk shortage in Germany
and Austria probably has been exag-
gerated, but it is certain that importa-
I lions are needed to some extent and we
already know about Poland, where chill
dren have faded like blighted flowers,
and whole cities have been bereft of the
infant population under three years of
age. There is no nation in the chronicles
of history that has not buried it's soldier
dead with stole courage; but the babies!
Not even Poland the oppressed, Poland
the ravaged, can bear that blow, with
out flinching.

GRIP AND NEURASTHENIA

There is a form OF neurasthenia thai
follows the grip. Doctors call 1t post
grippal" neurasthenia. One OF the
foremost medical authorities OF New
York city in lecture in the lnterna-
tional clinics, said: =,
"Broadly speaking; every victim OF
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering OF ner-
vous tone with increased irritablity is
the most striking effect OF the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed,
fitful sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, non-alco-
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack OF the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims IN.
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get box
of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills now IRON

treatment at once.

A March Medley
In Which the Weather and Other Timely
Topics are Discussed.

Nothing but beautiful snow.

No sun to dazzle our weary eyes,
No leaves expected to grow,
No hope have we. Spring ever to see;
Nothing but beautiful snow.
With apologies to the Boston Journal,
whose timely ind truthful ideas of the
| weather in Massachusetts l have I'M
blushingly made my own because of it's
exactness. Lent and snowstorm ar
rived together and one storm has follow
ed another until, to quote the schoolboy,
Maine is mot in it" with Massachusetts
snowdrifts and icy walks, and this month
of March will become history which it is
devoutly hoped will not repeat itself.
Why one should choose to be born in a
month proverbially spoken of as '"The
stormy March has come at last" is un-
accountable, unless to be able to say,
''Oh, March! we know thou art kind
hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats
and, out of sight, art nursing April vio-
let's" The writer pleads guilty to
birthday in March and she imagines some
one saying, II wonder how many years
ago it was?"
How many years ago? Don't ask me!
do not remember my birth, you see!
Though, were it not for the almanac
should say was forty three.
The 1916 Motor Show Week, with its
record breaking sales of better autos.
has now passed into history, to be fol-
lowed by the National Campaign for
Better Babies Week and the slogan ex-
hibited in all the larger cities reads:
"Baby Week, not Weak Babies" 1t is
estimated that ten thousand babies die
every year in Massachusetts, before they
are year old; if the mothers of the
State can be taught to care for their
babies in the right way, many of these
deaths can be prevented. The Massa-
chusetts State Health Department pro-
vides travelling exhibit of twenty
panels, presenting in an attractive form
some of the information that mothers
should know in order to protect their
babies from disease. The exhibit visits
a different town each week and is ac-
companied by nurse, who is ready to
explain the exhibit and answer questions.
In addition to the panels there is model
baby's bed, homemade refrigerator
for the baby's milk and a display of the
necessary clothes for new baby. This
nationwide movement in Waltham took

JUDGE SPEAR WITnDRAWS.

Judge Spear has withdrawn from the
contest for the Republican nomination
for United States senator. In q letter
announcing this decision Judge Spear
says: "Although have made no active
campaign, yet my experience is such IN
the meagre way in which have come in
touch with the present operation of the
primary law that, after fourteen years
of the Independent and dignified service
on the bench, l find the practice, if not
the necessity, of personal solicitation
under this system very distasteful, and
feel so strong reluctance to the con-
duct of such canvass as the primaries
require that l prefer to retire to the
congenial practice of the law to the pur-
suit of political campaign.

asking them to attend a conference at
the Copley Plaza hotel in Boston on Fri

Sch. Metinic Given Up as Lost.

SToNNGToN. Me-, March 80. The
schooner Metinic, owned in Rocklahd,
Me-, which saileo from New York on
Feb. 26, for this port with coal and ma
chinery, was given up today as lost. 1t
was believed here that heavy piece of
machinery dashed on her deck, broke
loose during storm early in the month
and smashing through the side caused
the Metinic to sink with all on board.
The Metinic was liz tons net and was
built in Rockland in 1901. She was COM
manded by Capt. Huntley and carried a
crew of four men.

A Patriotic Family.

Charles E. Amos. cook at the Bangor
State hospital, has nine brothers in the
English army. Six of them have been
wounded and two are in German prisons.
Their record in the Kings army is one
of which any family may we'll boast,
and it is not surprising indeed that King
George has sent letter of congratula-
ton to Mr.. Amos father. 1t is doubtful
if there are many families in England or
France that can exceed the record of
this family.

THE FRENCH ARMY CHANGE.

There will be great regret on the part
of the entente supporters and neutrals
that the grizzled old defender OF France
General Jofrre-must give place to a
younger and perhaps more alert com
mander- in-chief of the French armies on
the western front. JofFre is man of

military training to the supreme com
mand of the army of the republic. lie

German phalanXes were hurled again and
again only to be shattered in the effort
to break through He is a careful, me
thodical man, not perhaps of the bril-
liant sort, but dependable. That he has
played his part well in the great war
drama goes without saying, for France
stands to-day as sturdily as she ever
stood despite the fact that some of her
territory bears alien legions. Jotfre has
been essentially commander OF the de-
Tense. But the day of the defense OF
France alone is past. The day is at hand
when France must prove the aggressor.
SO Joffre must 90, to give way to a man
of skillful ofTense in order that the clear
plan of campaign from now on may be
carried out. France must turn the az
gressor and no man who is content mere

the bill, it seems II is good, however
that Jotfre is to be retained in the select
war council which shall have the final
authority in the conduct of the nations

the war council is both a reward Of
splendid service and promise to the
people of France that wise counsel will
prevail May his successor do as well in
the attack as Joffre has done in the de-
Tense.

Volcanoes in Arizona.

An interesting report on the San Fran.
cisco volcanic field, Arizona, an area OF
about 1900 square miles south OF the
Grand canyon OF the Colorado, is avail
able for free distribution by the United
States geological survey, department OF
the interior. This report--professiona
paper 76-contains a brief description OF
the geography of the field and gives de-
tailed descriptions of the volcanoes and
lava fields. 1t relates the volcanic his
tory of the region and correlates the pc
RODS of eruption with the general his
tory OF the surrounding country. There
have been three general periods of vol
canie activity in the San Franciscan vol
canic field each followed by an interval
OF uplift and erosion. The latest out
break doubtless represents the final fee
bic eruptions in a long cycle of volcan-
ism.
The paper is illustrated by excellent
halftone views OF some of the striking
geologic features OF the area and by gc-
ologic maps and diagrams which help
to give clear understanding OF the re
gion.

Washington, Dec. l4.-Success of ex-
periments which have developed radical
improvement in cable telegraphy through
use of the type OF receiving instrument
employed in radio communication, was
announced by war department signal
corps officers. This is said to permit the
reception of ordinary Morse signals by
ear, eliminating the necessity for highly
trained cable readers, and permitting the
operation of ocean cables under condi-
tions that would make communication
impossible under the present system. The

BY the time the war ends, Germany
may be expected to have exhausted her
repertoire of excuses for the sinking OF
American ships or of merchandise ships
of other nations carrying American peo-
pie. Thus far the imperial government
has stipulated that the vessels were

to stop when warned tried to ram
the submarine" carried armament con-
trary to international law and so on

The members of the Barre Granite
Manufacturers association gathered in
annual meeting on Wednesday, were able
to look back upon fairly prosperous
year and forward to what promises to
be year fully as brisk in business The
great advertising campaign which the as
ISOLATION inaugurated during the past II
months is likely to have greater financial
returns in the Forthcoming II months
than during the time Immediately fol-
lowing the publicity, for the buying OF
monuments is not the abrupt act OF buy
ing a cake of soap but is rather the re-
suit of considerable thought on the part
of the prospective purchaser, coupled
with much external influences. The de-
termination to buy a memorial OF high
standard is the outcome of serious con
sideration albeit the real act of purchase
may be prompt when the salesman states
his case. The Barre granite advertising
campaign started the mental processes of
a great many people along train OF
thought that is likely to turn them into
prospective customers when the proper
time comes. Hence, the publicity cam
paign is expected to bring results for a
long time after its influence might have
been expected to be past; and the forth
coming year should see no slight fruition
of the campaign.
