Bath Times, April 27.-Alonzo B.
Parks arrived home this morning from
st. John, N. B., where he has been
enjoying a weeks visit with his sis
ter and brother whom he had not seen
for 40 years. He says that there IS
not as much war talk in st. John as
one would expect to hear. The heart
of that province has gone to the front.
Among the volunteers are five OF his
nephews. Mr., Parks has been busy
during the winter in charge of the
construction of the new steamer Moose
head for the Coburn Steamboat Co. The
craft is completed and ready for
launching just as soon as the ice goes
out. Mr.. Parks says that the WIN
ter at Moosehead has been unusually
mild and with less snow than in former
years. After few days visit at home
Mr. Parks will leave for Aberdeen.
Washington, where he has been offered
a Job with the Aberdeen Shipbuilding
Co. His son Howard is now in Aber-
deem. The coming trip will be Mr..
Parks sixth journey across the con-
tinent.

situation created by the European war
and the revolution in China. Count
Okuma announces that Japan must
stick to the Allies, '1n order that we
may crush Germany, our common foe"
But this does not seem to impress the
Japanese people for they are not the
natural foes of Germany. Germany
does not lie across their path. They
are actually advocating an alliance with
Germany to supersede the alliance with
England.
And with the possibilities Of any
early break in the relations between
Germany and the United States and
the bitterness which has been growing
in Japan towards the United States
what is more natural to expect than an
alliance between Germany and japan in
the not distant future?

What Causes Colds !?
Some of the Usual Reasons

Cold in the head, cold in the chest,
cold in the throat, or cold that set
ties in your back is all one and the
often resulting from lowered vitality.
Drafts, getting chilled, and being ex-
posed to the weather will not give you
a cold if your organs are active and
healthy. But when your stomach IS
clogged with food, your liver slug
gish, the bowels obstructed, or the
circulation poor, then you take cold
easily because the system is con-
gested. To be free from colds, keep
