LIVING ON YOUR NERVE

Everybody has . store of nervous en-.
ergy. When work or worry without
sufficient rest exhausts this store COM
dition results that medical men call
neurasthenia.
1t is commonly met with in those
who have had keen anxieties, as those
who have cared for sick relatives, bus
mess men who worry over their affairs
and neglect to take vacations. Women
who are too active socially, anyone who
has too much excitement and too Little
rest may show the symptoms.
The complexion becomes pale, you
imagine unpleasant things, your brain
insists on working when you want to
60 to sleep. Sometimes you are mel
ancholy. Things that used to please
you no longer do 30. Constipation is
usually present. You worry about
yourself and your work and cannot for
get your anxieties.
No doctor can cure neurasthenia.
You have to do it yourself. The first
thing IS to write to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, n. Y, for
the booklet on the home treatment OF
nervous disorders. If you want to
start the treatment before the book
comes get a fifty-cent box of DR.. Will
llams' Pink Pills from the nearest drug
store and follow the directions carefully.

ton at the legislative hearing at Au-
gusta Tuesday to the bill which would
provide that the company shall make
as liberal discounts upon tolls TO
Maine newspaper, members of press
associations, as is made by the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph
companies. These two companies
have made discounts for one-third off
to newspapers from the rates charged
for commercial users. They nave on
file with the Utilities Commission a
rate of one-h half cent word from the
capital of the State. and in fact this
is the custom in every capital in the
country.
In Maine commercial kilograms
cost 25 cents for ten words and one
cent for each excess word while for
afternoon newspapers in Maine the
rate is two thirds of a cent word
for not less than ten words and for
morning newspapers, One-thlrd OF a
cent a word. The custom of these
newspaper rates by the two telegraph
companies has been established for
nearly half q century, proving that
the newspapers are recognized as Civ
ing a public service and entitled to
consideration, greater than given COM
mercial users.
Another recognition of this public
service by newspapers is In the con-
cessions made the Associated Press,
which is thus recognized in every
state throughout the Union and in
fact in every country in the world
Until the last contract by the Asso-
ciated Press. either the Western
Union or the Postal company had the
contract of the Associated Press for
wiring it's news service but the last
contract for handling the eastern
service was made with the New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph Co. The
attorney for that company stated
at the hearing in Augusta before the
Legal Affairs committee Tuesday that
his company leased a wire to the
Western Union company and that was
all they had to do about it, The
Commercial is informed by the Ban
gor manager of the Western Union
that the Western Union has nothing
to do with the Associated Press bust
ness.
The Commercial is making no issue
outside of the State of Maine as that
would come under interstate COM
merce. The charter of the New Eng
land Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany makes 1t as much OF telegraph
company as is the Western Union or
the Postal Co. and for this reason all
of the newspapers of the State have
asked that the New England company
should give a discount. viz, 3S 1-3 per
cent the same as is allowed by the
Western Union and Postal companies,
to the newspapers in excess OF the
rate made for commercial users.

Save Sheep WITH Dogs.

Editor kennebec Journal:
l was much interested in a report
of the hearing held by the Committee
of Agriculture on Tuesday at which
the question of depreciation by dogs
and wild animals to sheep and other
domestic animals was considered,
Commissioner Roberts reported that
about two per cent of all sheep in
and that last year the State paid out
over S13.000.00 for damages from that
cause. Mr.. Adams of Bowdoinham,
was likewise of the opinion that dras-
tic measures should be taken to pro-
tect the languishing sheep business.
The friends Of the dog were like
wise present, Mrs. Stevens protesting
against shooting all dogs and Repre-
sentative Besse asserting that the good
dog is the friend of cattle and sheep
The last statement is heartily con-
Cured in by the writer. Not only
have I long believed this to be true
but I have demonstrated its truth
within the past two years.
At that time we purchased small
flock Of sheep. having at the same time
a number of thoroughbred Collie dogs
which we were breeding. Being nat
ural stock dogs, the Collies soon

learned that the sheep were under
their particular protection and care;
also the sheep in return. from being
frightened at dogs at the beginning.
soon grew to trust and obey the dogs
more quickly than the owner. One of
the greatest inducement to keep kill
ing is the fact that sheep run readily
from a dog and this eXcites the dog
to chase and leads to killing. Our
sheep soon became entirely fearless Of
dogs and would stand with lowered
heads when strange ours approached
or would bunch up" and run toward
our own dogs for protection.
The experiment thus begun was con-

Editorial Comment
A Strike Against the Nation.
Boston Journal.)


If there are 100000 railroad men in this
country who place personal gain above
national safety, it is best that we learn
of it now.
If the nation contains an organization
that would deliver US into an enemy S
hands for so pieces of silver. the sooner
we know 1t the better.
The train operatives league known as
the Brotherhoods, the most autocratic
labor organization in the world, proposes
national strike beginning tomorrow
evening. Railroad service will be para
lyzed. Food distribution will cease. Mill
tary movements will be Impossible. One
day of such a strike means month OF
chaos and famine prices. A week Of 1t
would SO disorganize the country that for
many weeks afterward we would be left
helpless in case of war.
In the meantime, the United States Is
on the verge Of hostilities with Germany,
and awaiting a call. at any moment of
the day or night. for it's full resources
including railroad resources as pre-
requisite.
And at such a moment as this a band
of men with minds intent upon a per-
sonal advantage, which they do not i'm
mediately need. choose to throw the
country into what might be fatal con-
fusion.
Saturday night is not moment too
early.
Let the blow descend and lei the peo-
pie judge.
Let the people judge whether any
organization. may rightfully flout the
highest court in the land and throw the
nation on its'knees before an enemy.
The time is ripe for a judgment.
Not Congress, not the President, not
the courts-only the people can decide
whether this railroad organization is to
continue 4 rational power and ma
tional menace.
Give US the strike, with all 1t can
bring OF commercial disruption and
government panic and household mis-
cry. Give us the full force of it, and
let the people say whether there shall
continue in existence a power that can
ard will choke off the national life at
any time it feels called upon to make
personal drive for higher pay. Let the
other labor organizations. whose con-
scientious work of years is being torn
down by this upstart band. tell what
they think Of the crime.
Some few thousands of babies may
starve. some hurdreds Of thousands of
vorkmen may he thrown out Of en-
ployment for a few months. but we
shall survive, ard when we recover
there won't be any trainmen's Brother
lhoods.
There won't he much faith left in or
gani2ed IL Dor of any kind. The coun-
trv's chief fnit', will be placed in force
the force that breaks strikes and
keeps men in subsection. 1t won't look
we'll for democracy.
And then. after a tense period Of
stinted production and short employ
nent. we shall look back to the day
when organized railroad labor went too
far attempted to manage the nation
and frightened the people into salts
faction with government ownership
and small wages.

have been drilling for years in secret
and have millions Of rifles in storage,
ready to attack this country from the

sort Of fear is indicated by the expert
ence Of the pastor Of a German Luther
an church on Staten Island. He and
the director of q savings bank had been

through the island. They evinced great
interest in the topography Of the Is

An amateur sleuth trailed them and
noted that they usually confined their
walks to the highest spots on the
island. He accordingly wrote an an

that the two men had been taking
