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 be-
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 a 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.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the great
blood builder and invigorator They be-
gin at once to increase the red corpus

ries strength and health to every part

LESSON ON FERTILIZERS.
Farmer Must Accept Their Aid if He
Would Be Prosperous.

Fertilizers are carriers of plant food
In an available and concentrated form.
They contain the three elements of
plant food most needed in crop produc-
t1on-nitrogen, usually referred to as
ammonia; phosphorus. known to the
buyer as available phosphoric acid and
potassium. known as potash.
Fertilizers are crop growers and are
made to supply a definite need. For
thousands of years we have known
that manure increases crop Yields One
hundred years ago chemists found the
same plant food elements In other sub
stances though in varying proportions,
and that by various treatments artifi-
cial manures could be produced That
was the beginning Of the fertilizer in
dustry, which has grown to the point
that over 100000 tons are consumed
in the United States alone each year.
The big reason for the growth In the
consumption of fertilizers lies in the
fact that fertilizers help grow crops,
increase yields and farm profits wher-
ever properly used. Soils are fast be-
ing robbed of their supply Of available
fertility-of ammonia, phosphoric acid
and potash. Plants must be fed as well
as animals. Fertilizers feed the plants,
hasten maturity, improve quality and
increase yields. They make poor soils
better and rich soils more fertile.
There is no mystery about the action
Of fertilizers in plant growth. Nitrogen
or ammonia causes quick and vigorous
growth of stalk or stem and makes for
a quick starting crop. Available phos-
phoric acid helps fill the grain or fruit
and hastens ripening Potash strength
ems the stalk or straw and helps to
pump and fill the grain and fruit.
To obtain the best results fertilizers
containing varying amounts of the
plant food ingredients should be fitted
to the varying needs of crops and to
make up for the deficiencies of certain
soils. Hay is grown for the stalk and
hence needs more of the ingredient
which promotes stem and leaf growth
and should have a fertilizer running
high in ammonia Corn is grown for
the grain and needs fertilizer con-
tanning more of the crop ripener and
filleE. phosphoric acid, than of the
starter and stalk ftrengthener

A National Park In Maine.

10 THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
Inc Maine Sportsmen's Fish and Game
association, having a membership of
over oOO representative hunters, fisher
men and outdoor lovers, is deeply inter-
ested in the establishment of a national
park and forest reservation in the Mt.
katahdin region, to be known as the
Mount Katahdin National Park.
Congressman Frank E. Guernsey,
member OF this association, introduced
In the National House of Representa-
tIves on April 18th bill for the estab-
llshment Of such park This author
ICES the Secretary of Agriculture to ex-
anime, locate and report to the National
Forest Reservation Commission for pur-
chase such lands in the region of Mt.
katahdin as, in his judgment, may be
suitable for national park and neces-
sary to the regulation of the flow of
navlgable streams; and upon recon-
mendation of the National Forest Reser-
walton Commission, the Secretary of
Agriculture is authorized to purchase in
| the name of the United States such
lands as they shall approve at prices
| fixed by the commission.
The Importance of the establishment
of such park cannot be over-estimated.
1t would give added significance to our
title ''The Playground of the Nation"
1t would be permanent forest sanct-
uary that in years to come would at
tract thousands of visitors. 1t is worth
working for with every available re-
source.
There is just one thing that will in
sure the passage of such bill as Con-
gresham Guernsey has introduced, and
that is, an overwhelming and insistent
public sentiment within the State of
Maine. When such sentiment exists
and keeps manifesting itself persistent
ly, 1t will Ee recognized by Congress.
That is the judgment of those versed in
the history of national parks.
The instrument that can best arouse
and voice public sentiment is the Maine
press. Therefore we ask the Newspa-
pers of Maine, through their news and
editorial columns, to push this move
ment all they consistently can; to give
it its full value and from time to time
give it another push We believe the
proposition is big and important enough
to justify editorial attention, and that
there will be gratifying response.
We believe the present bill will go
through Congress if the people of Maine
show interest enough. At any rate
this bill or one like it is going to pass in
the next few years-just as soon as
sentiment grows to the point where it !
cannot be denied This association alone |
can only do little, but if everyone in
Maine interested in the great outdoors
will use their influence whenever and |
wherever possible the thing will be ac-
complished. Yours truly,
Maine Sportsmen's Fish & Game Assn,
R. C. WHITEHOUSE, Secretary.

chagrin I knew he felt at having me
find out that my stay in the dressing
room was not responsible for our
delay at luncheon.
He turned his back squarely upon
the woman, and with a muttered ex-
clamation to me, moved away from
her vicinity. Of course, I followed
him, for there was nothing else to do,
but, as I went, I felt the keen eyes of
my aggressive sympathizer fixed upon
my retreating back. I knew that she
pitied me as a poor-spirited creature.
1t seemed hours that we waited in
the line. but in reality, it was but 80
or 40 minutes before the crowd di-
minished so that we could see into the
dining room. Every table was filled
to it's capacity, but at a corner table
near the window we could see the
people getting ready to depart.
Winning Table.
IT guess there's nothing for it but
to cross that walters PALM" said
Dicky, grimly, putting his hand in
his pocket and taking out a bill.
In the shifting of the crowd we had
not noticed that our aggressive
friend, with her companions, were
right in front of us. I heard her
high pitched, rasping voice expostu-
lating with the head waiter, standing
near the door, whose rowing eyes T
knew had seen Dicky's hand go into
his pocket.
II demand that you let me in this
dining room,' my militant defender
said. There must be tables waiting;
there's one right over there now" as
she saw the people at the farther
table rise from their seats.
I think Dicky's natural eagerness
to get a table was intensified by his
desire to get even with the woman
who had rebuked him. At any rate,
at the first sound of her voice r saw
him hastily substitute another bill for
the one he had first drawn out. Then
he held the second one, with just it's
denomination showing between his
fingers, before the glistening eyes Of
the head waiter
That worthy did not hesitate
moment He spoke peremptorily,
finally, to the importuning woman.
'Scuse me-, Missis, but I can't
give you that table nohow; dat table
is promised to dis gentleman right
behind you.
Fright this way, Mr.. Jones, you're
table just ready for yoh''
With a dexterous movement, and
without actually touching her, the
man cleared passage for Dicky and
me to pass into the dining room, and
then, totally ignoring the woman's
expostulation, he ushered Dicky and
me to the table and bowed us into
our seats.
High and shrilI above the babel in
the dining room we heard the
woman's voice:
IT shall appeal to the management;
that mans name is no more Jones
than mine is. He had not engaged
that table at ALL He simply bribed
you to give it to him. Come back
her, I tell you
But the waiter, not at all perturbed
was grinning broadly, as he sum-
moned another man to take our order.

at the crowd before the dining room
door. .....
When we had come down from the
upper deck to luncheon, only to find
the dining room full, and a long line
Of impatient, jostling men and women
extending down the corridor from the
door. Dicky had told me that our
delay in getting a seat was due to the
fifteen minutes T had spent in the
dressing room; that if I had not gone
there we would have been in plenty Of
time.
He had spoken roughly, with the
impatient rudeness which he so often
uses when Inconvenience. And with
whitening emphasis in her tones the
middle-aged woman standing near us
had spoken directly at Dicky, and in
formed him that the same crowd he
saw had been in front of the door
for over half an hour
1 could not help being amused at
the woman's championship of me, but
7 was not particularly grateful for it.
I have always had a distant dislike
for any comment on or interference in
my affairs by any one not directly con-.
cerned. But Dicky's face would have
afforded amusement to the most con-
firmed misanthrope. Astonishm ent
at the woman's words, indignation at
evidently what he considered her eff
frontery, struggled in his face with the
