Clement s. Stetson of Greene, a for
mer master of the Maine State Grange,
was Saturday forenoon appointed
| State assessor by Governor Milliken
to succeed Hon. Bertrand G.. McIntire
who was appointed by Governor Plais-
| ted.
| Mr.. Stetson for years has been a stu
dent of taxation and has always been
| interested in every movement for the
! development of the industries of Maine.
! His extensive travelling throughout
| the State during his two terms as
master of the State Grange brought
him closely in touch not only with
conditions and the needs of the State
but also with the people, so that he
has a circle of acquaintance through
out Maine that is equalled by few men.
Born in Greene, Mr.. Stetson has al
ways lived there with the exception of
IL years when he was teaching school
in Illinois. He attended Monmouth
Academy and the Maine Wesleyan
Seminary at kent's Hill and taught
school in Maine as well as in the West.
He has also been farmer all his life.
In the affairs of Greene Mr.. Stetson
he has held all of the town offices. He
has also held all the positions in the
subordinate and Pomona Oranges and
for eight years was master of the
State Grange. He retired from that
office in December. 1914. At present,
Mr.. Stetson is chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee of the National Grange.
He has married and has one daughter.
Bertrand G. McIntire, the present
State assessor, had been favorably
considered for appointment until he
was named as vice president Of the
Farmers Loan Bank" said Governor
Milliken Saturday morning after the
appointment of Mr.. Stetson had been
announced. This new position to
which Mr.. McIntire has been called,
will of course, keep him much out of
the State. Mr.. McIntire has assured
me Of his interest in the work of the
department and his willingness to as
sist his successor in any possible way,
but has expressed the opinion that the
duties Of the federal position which
he has assumed would prevent his Civ
ing proper attention to the office of
State assessor"

TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

Most growing girls need a tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly ana
when their appetites are most tickle.
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances of future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct, diet
might meet all requirements but this Is
next to impossible. Hence the need
for a tonic. Almost every doctor 8
daughter is given tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
YOU do not call doctor and she gets
thin and pale, fidgets so that she can
not sit still on a chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little out
of-door exercise and perhaps faces 81.
Vitus' Dance, or nervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help tolay q founda-
ton for future health.
The price of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent on
receipt of price by the DR.: Williams
