HOW THIS LITTLE BOY


Garrett. Texas-"The measles left
my little boy aged nine years n a
very weak, run down condition-he
coughed good deal. and as medi-
cines did not seem to help him, we
finally took him out of school, and
thought he would never be strong
again. One day l read about the cod
liver and iron tonic known as Vinol.
and such a change as It has made in
my little boy-it stopped his cough,
he is now back in school, strong and
well."-Mrs. E. A. Wright.
There is nothing Ike Vinol to re-
store strength, appetite and vim to
pale, sickly children. We strongly
recommend Vinol for this purpose.
Ninol is sold in Augusta b. Bow
ditch Webster Co.; J. H. DeOrsay,
Waterville; Guy X. White, Haliowell
and druggists everywhere.-Adv.

1t is rather astonishing to note, in
view Of the embargoes plac on
wool manufacturers by SO many of
the warning powers in Europe, that
our imports of wool manufactures
dur.lg the nine months ended March,
last, totaled s21,ooo,OOO, compared
with 81 900 900 for the similar period
ended March. 1912, under protective
rates of duty. The chief increase is
in wearing apparel. which increased,
the two periods considered. from
N,Soo.o0O to s6,145,o00. "All other
manufacturers" Of wool, (not specif-
cally mentioned) increased from
s73e,ooo to 1921. 900 How about it
when the war puts an end to en-
bargoes but the Democratic tariff law
remains?

The splendid results which tho

FORMER BIDDEFORD
TEACHER IN TROUBLE
(Biddeford Record)

The following dispatch sent out
from Lincoln, Neb, will be read with
the greatest interest by people of
Biddcford and Saco.. ~.
In addition to demanding the res
lgnation of three of tie faculty of
Nebraska in connection with ..harges
py the State Council of Defense that
instructors of the school lacked ag-
gressiye Americanism in their views
on the war, the university's board of
regents has decided to ask two other
professors to resign unless they can
satisfactorily explain their alleged
conduct lin spreading unfounded
suspicious against the attitude Of
members of the staff
The two instructors accused by the
regents of circulating the "unfounded
suspicious" are Minnie l.. England
and DR.. f. NJ. Fling. The accusa-
ton against them was contained in a
statement by the regents Tuesday
night, when the designations of Prof.
Erwin Hopt, c. E. Per singer and G.
w. A. Luckily were demanded.
Prof. Fling, who was sub-ma ster
- DAoANho ~ u LIS u SSIlOOi lOT several
years, was looked upon as one Of the
oest instructors the school has ever
had and his career has been followed
with interest, for since leaving here
he travelled abroad, made for him
self a place in educational literature
and has been strong figure in edu-
cational circles in the West.
That he had pronounced y-iews on
all subjects that directly appealed to
him could but be known to mis-
friends and the students under him.
but that at this time he should so
strongly announce his views as to
class him as unAmerican will be a
surprise to many.

Dresser, a student of his at Biddeford

Requires Explanation.

Requires Explanation.
The recent intimatioG Of President
Wilson that upon the Jnited States
devolves the duty of restoring Rus
STA, unadorned as it is by any ex-
planatory statement. has created
some bewilderment and not little
uneasiness in the miros of many
leaders among those Of foreign ex-
traction, particularly those connected
by ties of nativity or blood with
countries formerly a part of Russia
but which, since Mr. WILSON'S
declarations of some months ago as
to the rights of small rations, have
cut loose from the Russian derelict
and declared themselves Independent.
The chief development in Europe
OF this movement toward Independent
government is to be found in the
countries lying between Germany and
Russia and extending from the Baltic
TO the Black Sea, beginning with
Courland in the north and ending
with Bessarabia in the south. The
countries which form the rampant
dividing despotic Germany from
chaotic Russia are Courland. Es-
thonia, Livonia, Lithuania, Poland,
Bessarabia, and Uk-ainia. With
Finland they make up population
opposed to autocrcy of hut $4,000, 900
souls. All of them have many sons
and daughters in this country, all
working, subscribing funds, and dis
seminating prope ganda to perpetuate
and make stable the independence
which their mother countries have
declared. 1t is in the United States
that their most effective work can be
accomplished because here they can
fearlessly express themselves I'M
hampered by Prussian;sm or boil
shevism. and they arc superlatively
generous in their contributions to
Uncle Sans war chest because they
believe his victory will be their vic
tory. Now comes the presidential
statement with regard 20 standing by
a wrecked Russia. reha ojlitating her,
putting her back in her old place
among the nations, and the question
which bothers these laborers for the
independence of small nations is.
What Russia does the PRESIDENT have

the states UP to the 40th parallel of
longitude broken off. declaring for in
dependence and striving TO set their

influences, and looking forward to
the day when they will no longer be
what Pres dent Wilson calls, the
"pawns in game, even the great
game. now I rever disctedited, of the
balance Of power?
II President Wilson did not have
in contemplation the restoration of
these small nations to Russia, then
his remark was an unfortunate one
and should be explained, for these
small nations take great discourage
ment from his declaration. Incl
dentally, men intimately acquainted
with European politics believe that
If this country ever commits itself to

Some where in France the papers
say,
Men are fighting night and day.
Dying there in the gloom of night,
Giving their lives for God AID the
Right;
Led by the hand OF jre:lce they went
To defend the carse Of the innocent.
To crush the tyrant on land and seas,
And give TO The world lasting Peace.
Somewhere at home, many miles away,
Women are weeping n ght and day,
Weeping with hearts mat sting and
ache
Beneath their burden. but do not
break;
Dark are their lives as the robes they
For loved ones who persisted over
there"
Gods gift to woman through all the
years
OF grief and courage is but her tears.
Somewhere in He'll there is place
Waiting and waiting night ana day,
For those who plunged the human race
Into this cruel and bloody fray;
Who sought to drag all nations down.

And Satan's mission will be complete
