Mansonian Hindenbureisn.

Sometimes we wonder what evil
spirit inhabits the inner recesses Of the
Office Of the Waterville Sentinel and
periodically dances forth to take pos
session Of the editor. It matters not
who the editor is (they change often in
our neighbours sanctum) he soon &C
cumulates the mania for swinging right
and left on the jaws of Maine con-
temporaries. He goes out to instruct
brother editors how to walk down the
streets of Portland, Lewiston, Augusta
or Bangor. The Press and Express OF
Portland, the X. J. and others, have to
be corrected in their ways of making
newspapers.
The Sentinel man never, for periods
Of any length, seems to have enough to
do to attend to his own business; he
wants to take charge of somebody
else's business, too. None of us make
newspapers to suit him, although he is
of us and quite an ordinary sort OF
good fellow, before he once bends and
sits in that chair that Patt, and Gallup,
and Piper, and F'assett, and others
have enriched with inspiration.
The Won Hindenburg OF the Sentinel
sanctum cannot enjoy peace, he
bankers after gore and desolation OF
surrounding contemporaries. He sal
lies out to impress himself upon their
attention by teaching them Kultur or
the Sentinel variety.
We don't know where they conceal
this genius with the affliction for going
out after blood and goats and things,
but we have long noted his presence
and activities regardless, of who is
holding the job He has just straight
ened out the leading papers of Maine,
one after another, presumably to his
liking, and will now go back to his hole
for a week or two-that is, if the Port
land Express has promptly apologized
for living.

REMOVE u. OF M.
LAW SCHOOL DEAN
CLAIM FAVORED GERMANS

Bangor, Me-, March 10.-Willian Il.
Walz, dean of the University of Maine
College of Law in this city, was relicv-
ed Of his duties as head of that insti-
tuition by a committee of the board of
trustees and President Robert j. .Aey.
who were in session here Saturday dis
GUESSING the policy of the law school.
The removal will take effect at once,
although it is understood that the dean
will be paid for the remainder Of the
university year.
Action of the board Of trustees in
discharsing Dean Walz followed news
paper criticism of his alleged practice
of talking overmuch regarding German
kultur and efficiency in the class rooms
although no direct charge of disloyalty
has been made against him. Prior to
the entrance of the United States into
the war he publicly espoused the cause
Of Germany, defending its course at
meetings here
Immediately after the first charges
were made that he talked too much in
classrooms of Prussian kultur, the stu
dents of the college passed resolutions
denying that he was disloyal and
promptly gave him a banquet at the
Bangor House. at which former Chief
Justice l.. Emery of the Maine supreme
Court was among those who praised
the dean and supported him against tho
published statement
1t was learned that the university
trustees. who mot today, had discuss
ed affairs at the law school two months
ago. with the result that a committee
was appointed, with President Alley, TO
take what action they considered nee
essary. The committee was composed
of Freeland Jones, Colonel +. II. Strick
land Of Bangor and Frank E. Guernsey
of Dover.
Public opinion here is divided in the
matter, some claiming that there has
been too much talk of German kultur
at the law school and others includ-
ing the law school alumni, urging that
while the dean emitted much pro- Ger
man talk before the United States en-
tered the war, he has been a loyal citt
zen since that time.

the liquor traffic and of educating
the people to habits OF self-control
fails to meet the demands" of a civil
lied society. The present system is
unquestionably a failure. for under It
the evil Of drunkenness in Masachu-
sets increases rather than dirninishes.
Some one in protest asks: why
slap dash prohibition" referring to
the pending federal amendment. What
else is there to try? Surely, neither
the country nor the commonwealth has
been in haste to adopt radical meas
ures. Massachusetts has been run

WOMEN WHO ARE
! SHORT OF BREATH
May Have Anemia Without
knowing 1t.
Read the Story of This Fall River
Woman Who Found a, Means Of
Restoring Her Blood and Has
Been Well Ever Since.

The Stairway test" for anemia or
thin blood is so called because suffer-
ers from this disease invariably get
out of breath from slight exertion
such as walking up a flight of stairs.
This brcathless condition, which,
when accompanied by pallor of the
anemia, is caused by the lack of red
corpuscles ia the blood. 1t is the bust
ress of these corpuscles to take up the
life giving oxygen from the air we
breathe and carry it throughout the
body. Over-exertion causes a greater
demand for oxygen than normal
breathing can supply and so we
breathe fast after 4 hard bit Of eXer-
else In anemia the capacity of the
blood to carry oxygen is reduced and
therefore very slight eXertion has the
same effect on the patient as hard eX-
ercise on g well person.
You can build up the blood as is
shown by the experience of Mrs. Fred
Haywood, OF III Amy street, Fall
River. Mass. She says: Il became
pale, haggard looking and all run down.

When the blood lacks red corpus
Cles it is i scientific fact that a course
Of treatment with DR.. Williams Pink

can be demonstrated by a microscopic
