WOMEN IN THE NAVY

Our American women were quite startled
when they first heard of women being given
the rank of yeoman, in the navy, for the work
they can do in type.writing or similar Office
work.
That women can fight has been demon
strated by the so-called Battalion Of Death"
or regiment of Russian women. But so many
of our American women are worn out, anemic.
and suffering from the peculiar weakness OF
womanknd. To build up, strengthen and
cure these weaknesses, there is nothing so good
as DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription. This
is woman S true herbal tonic. 1t does not
contain a particle of alcohol, nor anything
deleterious to women s delicate constitution.
For fifty years it has proven its merit, and
can now be obtained in tablet form as well
as in liquid, at almost any drug store. Tablets
60 cents, or send 10c for trial pkg of tablets

from TIL" decision of the Industrial Ac-

Associate justice George L. Bird Of

a matter which is at present caus-
ing no small amount of conjecture on
the part of Augusta coal dealers as
well as those of Hallowell, Gardiner
and other places down river, is the
question If what is going to be done
along the river the coming season for
tug boats, but as yet there seems to
be but little to be offered in the way
Of solution. The problem is a serious
one and now it will be solved remains
to be seen. One Augusta dealer said
yesterday in speaking of the towage
question that there was not now a tug
boat owned on the I[ennebec river and
that he for one did not know what
the dealers would do the coming sum
mer. The only ray of hope in sight
comes with a report from Bath that
the tug s>egun, which was reported
sold, is still at her dock at that city
where she is being held by her owner
pending the arrival Of the cheuue for
her payment. The man who reported
the tugs presence at Bath protested
the belief that the tug might not he
Soid alter all, in which case he thought
she might remain on the river AS mat
terS are ut present it is the belief OF
some Augusta dealers that they will
have to depend upon Portland ting
boats for kennebec river service the
coming season.

few hours and was visitor in Au-
gusta on business connected with his
lines. In speaking Of the outlook in
steamboat lines the coming season on
the river, Mr.. Haraden said it was
practically a foregone conclusion that
there would be nothing doing on the
kennebec river and Boston route,
which will be the first time for many
years that there has not been an OPP
portunity TO make the journey from
the Kennebec river landings to Boston
by steamer.

the paper mill of the Cushnoc Paper Co.
which has been shut down since Feb. }
on account Of a shortage of coal. might
be started up next Monday morning, but
conditions have not improved during the
interval sufficiently to warrant the start
ing of the plant, and It was said yester-
day that it would he idle for another
week. Manager tiedncy said Yesterday
that it would be Of no use to start the
mill until they had at least 500 tons of
coal IN reserve. and although some small
lots OF coal have been received the amount
on hand has not yet reached the above
figure.

United States is quite likely to witness

railroad authorities have refused to make

ceived their warning in time and can IL
they see fit return to the old style of the
years when the circus caravans drove
across country from one show town to an

but there will doubtless be enough of the

America the usual circus th.ills.
