Marks of Respect to the
Flag and National Anthem

The adjutant generals department
has many inquiries as to the proper
marks Of respect to be paid the display
of the National Flag and the playing
of the National Anthem and in order
that all the people who may not be so
informed may become SO. Gen. Presson
has issued the following memorandum,
under date of March 10:
MEMORANDUM.
Personal marks Of respect to be paid
to the flag and what you should DO
when the National Anthem is being
played.
Many inquiries have been made at
the adjutant generals Office as to the
proper respect to be paid toward the
flag and the playing Of the National
Anthem. The following Is taken from
the war department regolutions
When the flag is carried on parade
by a body Of troops or civic society,"
everyone should uncover, holding the
hat opposite tho left shoulder with the
right hand. If uncovered they should
salute with the right hand. The salute
should be commenced when the flag
arrived within six PAGES and should be
ended when 1t has passed six PAGES be-
yond the person saluting.

Both branches Of the Maine Legisla-
ture will at $50 this morning resume
deliberations. with every promise OF
strenuous week. It is understood that
considerable new business Is being con-
templated and the committee hearings
have taken a new lease Of life, accord
ing to the advertised matters.
1t is probable that the hearing sched-
uled for this afternoon on the Cole Dill
for the adjustment Of the present po-
lice and municipal courts OF the state
and the establishment Of inferior courts
in their place, will be held in the hall
of the House Of Representatives. owing

Another power measure Will De
heard Thursday afternoon, March Y,
when the bill introduced by Rep. Cole
of Eliot, providing for the transmission
OF electric currents beyond the limits
Of the State under certain circum-
stances will come before the judiciary
committee. This being the last Of the
big power hearings, it will doubtless be
largely attended and decidedly inter-
esting.
It has been learned that Clifford Pin

Gov. Milliken to Establish
Committee of Public Safety

Governor Carl +. Milliken's an
that he proposes at an early date to
appoint Committee of Public Safety.
along the lines adopted by Massachu
sets and some other states, has
aroused a great amount of approval
and interest. The committee will be
large enough to look after all branches
Of business connected with the gov
eminent and the people during a per-
iod of unrest such as SENS imminent
and will be composed of men who will
start their work with the absolute
confidence of the Governor and the
people, whose interests they will con-
serve.
1t may be Of interest to briefly out
line the Massachusetts plan, it being
the nearest to us of any existing sim
liar body, it's composition being as fol-
lows:
First comes an executive committee
of II, which has It's chairman, vice
chairman, secretary, with an executive
manager and assistant secretary and
including the adjutant general of the
state ex officio. 1t also has two as
sistant general managers, one of
whom is treasurer. Then come the
various subdivisions into committees.
which include: Finance, coordination
of aid societies, emergency help and
equipment, food production and con-
servation, industrial survey, publicity,
state protection, transportation, mill
;ary equipment and supplies and the
military, which is also sub divided as
follows:
Land forces and naval forces, which
are again divided into camps of
mobilization and concentration. Home
Guards, horses, recruiting, trucks and
motor cars.
The foregoing indicates a pretty
good arrangement for taking care Of
emergencies in cooperation with the
State and general government and
should be a tremendous assistance.
1t will be interesting to know in
connection with this subject that the
people of Maine are not at all back
ward in indicating that they are ready
and willing to offer their services
should they be needed. Some of the
wealthy business men of the State
have already written the adjutant
general stating that they fear they
would be unable to be of much good
in active service, but that they might
be available in the quartermaster's de-
partment. Numerous railroad men,
machinists, locomotive engineers, lum-
hermen and two clergymen are on the
list. which is every day being added to.
1t is safe to say that should any
emergency arise. Maine men ofe,every
profession and employment Hould
flock to the support of the Flag just
as they have done in every like
emergency since the Declaration of
Independence.

played at any place all should arise
and face toward the music. Civilians
should place the hat opposite the left
shoulder with the right hand and so
remain until the last note of the an
them. If uncovered and without a hat
they should salute with the right hand
at the first note of the anthem, retain
ing the position of salute until the last
note.
The National Anthem when played
by any band should be played through
without repetition of any part.
The war department has decided
that 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" is
the National Anthem to the exclusion
of other tunes Of musical composition
known as national airs. Government
bands are prohibited from playing our
National Anthem or the national an
them of any other country as part Of a
medley.

An Antidote for
Uric Acid Poison
(By DR.. L. c. Babcock.)

There is a process going on within the
body which often poisons us. 1t is some
thing like the story Of the snake being
able to kill itself with its own poisons.
This is the formation OF uric acid
In excess within the body. 1t is a
waste product which takes place
in the liver This poisonous uric acid
is then passed on to the kidneys,
which act as a filter to pass off and
excrete this poison. If the kidneys are
clogged UP, inactive, the poison degener-
ates these organs and causes kidney dis
ease. If it is deposited in, the tissues,
around the joints of the body. 1t causes
rheumatism or govt.
Consequently we must do everything to
throw off this uric acid poison, and SIM
by drinking plenty Of water between
meals pint Of hot water, morning and
night Is splendid. Take Anuric double
strength) three times a day for awhile.
and get the kidneys to working by flush
ing out this poison. That painful af11ic-
ton. known as govt as well as muscular
rheumatism, Is caused by the uric acid
crystals being deposited in the big toes or
tissues. The man who uses his brain,
perhaph over-taxing his nervous energy
will suffer fits of blues depression,
headache sleeplessness, loss Of memory.
all due to the poison of uric acid. The
man who does physical work, using his
muscles. occasionally complains Of slug
gishness, muscular tired feeling. muscu-
lar stiffness or aches, neuralgia twinges-
symptoms all due to this uric acid accu-
mutation. In every case l advise hot
water, and Anuric taken three times daily

had at almost every drug store.-Adv.

Vassalboro, China & windsor
1t. & Pow. Co. BOND Issue

The Public Utilities Commission has
rendered decision on the petition of
the Vassalboro, China e. Windsor
Light & Power Company for authority
to issue stock and bonds. Permission
is granted to issue $4,000 Of stock at
par. the proceeds thereof to be ex-
pended only in manner approved by
the commission on further report and
application. Decision on that part of
the petition relating to the sale of
bonds is withheld pending further ac-
ton by the petitioner.
The commission finds that DR..
Meigs, the chief promoter of the cor
poration, has secured power and flow
age privileges along Stewards Mill
stream, between Three-Mil pond and
Weber pond, which, when developed
may produce 10 horsepower constant
flow, but now entirely undeveloped, for
which he has expended about $1,000 in
cash and personal services claimed by
him to be worth $4,000. The cost of
proposed development including dis
tribution system for electric lighting
and power in Vassalboro, China and
Windsor is estimated to be $685.
Dr. Meigs proposes to turn the prop
y
stock and $4,000 in bonds.
The corporation now owns no prop
erty, nor any rights or franchises ex-
cept the franchise to exist as a COR
poration. The money for the develop
ment is to be obtained by borrowing
on the stock and bonds as collateral to
DR.. Meigs' personal signature.
