ADVANTAGE in gloom or .ear in its eff
feet upon our efforts? We can see
none. Indeed, we are convinced that
confident army, confident people
behind it. a high morale, are the fac
tors that win battles that decide the
fate Of nations.
We believe exaggerated apprehen-
sion far worse than undue opti-
mism.
We shall cling to confidence and
courage while having no quarrel with
the pastors pessimism.
II Germany wastes 100000 effec-
tives a month, even II she costs the
allies 100000 electives, and we are
sending 100000 American fighters a
month to the front, how long do our
gloomy friends figure that the con-
fiict can last?
We cannot be stampeded or dis
couraged. Like our boys over there,
we must receive an everlasting lick
ing before we'll admit it. We may
be stubborn, uniformed and full of
false faith, but optimism is the spirit
we desire to see in our fighters over
there, in our boys to go, and in the
fathers. mothers and friends left be-
hind to do the best they can.

Editor kennebec journal:
Interested in Birds

Editor kennebec Journal
There has just come to my notice
paragraph in your issue of June 10 re-
gardng a gray squirrel attempting to
raid a birds nest. AS one who has been
casual observer of the birds for some
little time l was interested in this &C
count, and one point mentioned therein
attracted my especial notice. 1t stated
that two robins that evidently owned
the nest, located on so small a branch
that it bent under the weight of the
squirrel, prevented the raid. Such a To-
cation for the nest of a robin would be
unusual. as common observation shows
that this species builds rather bulky
nest in crotch of at least fairly sturdy
limbs.
1t occurs to me that the nest possibly
might have been that of the oriole or
golden robin. in which case it would be
interesting to know that these birds
would worst squirrel. And were the
nest that of different species than the
ones that protected it. it would be an in
teresting note to confirm this Perhaps
your reporter who is interested in ma
ture may find something further regard
ing this incident. in which case I. and,
am sure. others interested in the birds
would be interested to see it printed.

A TONIC THAT
REALLY GIVES
new STRENGTH
This Rhode Island Woman
Tells of a Remedy In Which
Her Confidence was Justified.

A tonic that strengthens, that re-
wives the appetite, brings color to the
cheeks and revitalizes the nerves IS
what many tired women need to re-
store them to the normal condition
of activity and attractiveness.
1t is just a question of finding the
tonic suited to a run down condition,
one that really gives strength rather
than temporary stimulation. A nom
alcoholic tonic is needed and the fol-
lowing statement tells how one
woman found the right remedy.
Early last winter" says Mrs.
Beatrice Stott. of No. Sc Watson
street, Central Falls, r. l., Il had
severe attack of pleurisy that left me
in a terribly run down condition. My
blood was thin, was pale, my appe-
tite was poor and l had but little
strength. | had severe pains in my
side and my rest was broken at times
from nervousness. l tried different
doctors but their medicine did not
seem to nelp me.
Il had heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills when l lived in England and
finally decided to give them a trial.
After the first box [ was much bet
ter and | noticed an improvement in
my appetite. | continued to use the
pills and they gave me more strength.
used three boxes altogether and the
results were SO satisfactory that l
have recommended the pills to others.
| have faith in DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and am glad to say word Of
praise for them"
The purpose of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They
do this one thing and they do it we'll.
They are for this reason an inval-
liable remedy in diseases arising from
bad or deficient blood, as rheuma-
tsm, neuralgia, after effects of the
grip and fevers. The pills are guar
anteed to be free from opiates or any
harmful drug and cannot injure the
most delicate system.
In spite of the increased cost of all
drugs the price of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills has not been changed Your

An Intimate Accounting

Said the President of the United
States in his address to Congress,
May o. on the necessity of revenue
legislation:
The elections are at hand. and we
ought as soon a S possible to go and
render an intimate account of our trus
teeship to the people who delegated US
to act for them in the weighty and anx
ious matters that crowd upon us in
these DAYS of critical choice and action.
But we dare not go to the elections until
we have done our duty to the full"
May we not take it. the people are
to be informed how the colossal sums
Of money which have been placed to
the credit of the Administration by
the peoples representatives in Con-
gress have been expended? We are
to be told how much went into the
arplane program. and what it has
produced; how many millions for ex-
perimenta ton; what has been ex-
pended for ordnance, uniforms, small
calibre guns-and don't forget the
amount spent for some 21.000,000
pairs of shoes and 100000 blankets.
We are to have an itemized statement
of George Creers expenditures in .he
fle. and the statement should show
who is on Creers payroll. We are
H. toIJ
pended for the shipping program. but
probably not how much the squab-
bling cost the country up to the time
that Schwab stepped into the several
breaches. We are to have the in
formation requisite to inform our
selves on the merits of the cost plus"
system. as compared with other
methods of paying for contract work.
Perhaps we will be given a peek at
Mr. McAdoos railway finances, and
statement of the Farm Loan Board
showing assets, their nature, and liza
bilities, their nature.
The coming intimate account
should show how contracts have been
distributed throughout the country,
so that we may compare the taxes
paid by the various sections with the
benefits derived from money which
all the people subscribed The ac-
count might we'll include the cost Of
maintaining in the ranks of non
combatants the thousands of officers
and soldiers and sailors who have
the physical qualifications, at least,
to serve in the line, in order that the
people may express themselves as to
whether it would, or would not, he
better to have older men, anxious and
ready to serve their country. take
over these less exhausting positions,
and thus release several divisions to
work the determination of the Hun.
In fact, the items which this intimate
account should render are legion.
The people will have their confidence
in the Administration much expanded
| if they are taken into the Admins
tration's confidence.
