ANAEMIk AND POOR BLOOD
How Mrs. BurneiI's Daughter Re
covered.

How Mrs. burneiI's Daughter Re-
covered.
Drewsville, n. H.-"My daughter
was anaemic, had poor blood and suf-
fered from indigestion and bilious at.
tacks. As Vinol had built up my
son some time ago, l gave 1t to my
daughter--she soon improved In
health, and it has built her up and re-
stored her health."-Mrs. N. Burnell.
The reason Vinol was so success
full in Miss Burnell's case is because
it contains beef and cod liver pep
tones, iron and manganese pepton-
ates and glycerophosphates, the very
elements needed to build up weak
ened, rundown system, make rich
red blood and create strength.

LOCAL NOTICE
New Skip Stop System to Be Put in
6nArakian an 4 M

WV os'S' VII @s ~ u W.
The United States Fuel Admins
tration has addressed a communica-
ton to Public Service Commissions.
mayors, city councilmen. city COM
missioners and street railway officials
Of the United States. calling upon
them as a patriotic duty to adopt
the so-called Skip-Stop System in
order to conserve fuel and man.
power. Although the Lewiston. Au-
gusta & Waterville Street Railway
obtains the power used for the OPP
Grafton Of its cars primarily from
hydro electric stations. still this wa
ter-power has to be largely supple
nented by steam generated power.
and the request Of the Fuel Admins
tration therefore has q direct appli-
cation to the local street railway.
The so-called Skip-Stop System
which has been inaugurated with
great success in many cities through
out the country. is nothing more or
less than lengthening out the dis
tance between stops. so that the av-
erage number Of stops per mile Is re-
duced, resulting in a marked saving
in the use of power and better SER
vice. On account Of the saving in
time in stops which have been elm
mated. The Inconvenience to the
travelling public introduced by great
er spacing Of stops is practically neg
ligible and very small Contribution
upon their part toward an, important
item in conservation and winning
the war.
The officials Of the Lewiston. Au-
gusta & Waterville Street Railway
have been studying this problem.
and will first introduce the Skip Stop
System on the line between Augusta
ana Gardiner where it will show the
greatest benefits, both in conserva-
ton Of power and betterment Ut SER
vice. Ir order to fully acquaint it's
patrons with the new stops all pres
ent stops will be designated with pla-
cards at once. which will indicate
those stops to be retained and those
to be abolished. Commencing Oct. Il,
the new system Of stops indicated by
the black placards will be the only
stops which the cars will make. The
public is asked by the management
Of the railway to bear in mind that
this is a war measure requested by
the national government. and that
any small inconvenience which re-
suits 10 helping a nationwide con-
servation measure. This policy Of
extending the distance between stops
will be eventually applied to all OF
the lines Of the railway.

his way over.
Dear Mother. Dad ana All.
Arrived all o. X and feel fine. At
present We are stationed in a rest camp
and VIII probably be hero a few days
before going TO our permanent training
camp further in.
Tbs trip was uneventful and most of
tbs fellows got a little enjoyment out
Of It. The band would play twice c day
and every night they showed movies.
We were on a dandy ship and a speedy
one We hiked up from the dock and
whenever We rested the French women
along the way sold US fruits and nuts.
You can bet they tasted good too.
All the boys here smoke. I saw one
shout years old putting away al a
cigarette. Just like an old timer at the
game. Every kid We met asked for a
cigarette.
From what we have seen Of France
it is pretty place and everyone is cut
after the kaisers scalp.
Some Of the kids come into camp and
we have lots of fun trying to talk Is
them. One of them saw a little mus
tsche on the fellow in my tent and he
said "Cholly Chaplin" SO 1 guess the
whole world knows hum
All the French can say Hello" any
way for everyone We passed said Hello"
and threw us kisses.
wish you could see our camp The
field is fun Of small tents tt1vo men in

S----'- --'- before we move on. because
the tents have no fronts on them
Some OF the fellows have had their
heads shaved and when the nrst cootie
tries TO eat me. off goes my wool. but I
promise 10 stay away until It grows out
again.
our colonel Just gave Us nice talk
and anybody who IS half a man will do
the right thing now # he never did be-
fore because he talked TO US in a good
shtforward way
haven't met anyone from whiting
here yet, but the other day some Of

barracks and someone asked them about
me, but they forgot his name He told
them he was from Whiting bat cant
even guess his name I would surely
Ike to meet Lieut.. Exton and some of
the other club fellows
We have lots of fun trying to talk to
the people here. and when 1 come home
I'll teach you all how to talk French.
You know We used to hear 50 much about
the French girls, but I fail 70 see that
they have anything on the L. S. make.
They are going to send some fellows
