| FEEL LIKE
MYSELF AGAIN
An Attack of Grip Left This
Portland Woman an Invalid
but She Found a Way to
Renewed Health

1t is well known fact that an at
tack Of the grip leaves the blood thin,
the nerves weak and the system gen.
orally run down. A tonic that builds
up the blood and strengthens the
nerves restores the general health
in such cases and is just what most
grip victims need
Il had an attack of the grip" says
Mrs. John Carr, of No. 3S Washing
ton street, Portland, Me, "and after
it was over my blood was poor and
my strength was gone. l was cold,
even on a warm day. My color was
white and | continually lost flesh. !
was nervous and at times had dizzy
spells. My appetite was poor.
II tried several medicines but
could see no benefit until / took DR..
Williams Pink Pills. The second or
third box showed that they were
helping me. I took seven boxes alto
gether and can say that l certainly
received much benefit from their use.
I feel like myself again, have good
color, can eat well and have gained
in flesh. l have recommended DR.
Williams Pink Pills to others and am
glad to do So"
The blood goes to practically every
part of the body and if it is rich and
red it carries health and strength to
every organ. The digestion IS toned
up, the nerves are strengthened and
aching muscles are made strong. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are especially
useful to rundown women who wor-
ry about their daily tasks and du
ties.
The purpose Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They
do this one thing and they do it well
They are for this reason an invalua-
bic remedy in diseases arising from
bad or deficient blood, as rheumatism,
neuralgia, after effects of the grip
and fevers. The pills are guaranteed
70 be free from opiates or any harmful
drug and cannot injure the most DEL
icate system.
Building Up the Blood is book
let full of useful information. Every
mother and every growing girl should
have one. 1t is sent free on request
by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, y. Y. Your own drug
gist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills or
they will be sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt Of price, fifty cents per
box. six boxes for $3.50. Do not pay

German in the Schools

The steady increase in the number
classes that are eliminating German
from their studies seems to meet with
general appreciation, although some
assert that they fail to SEQ either the
necessity or wisdom Of such action.
Generally speaking, however, the
popular opinion would be ''cut it out
entirely" The fact is, large per-
centage of the state educational de-
partments have already taken such a
step and hy the time peace is de-
clared it will doubtless be universal
in this country.
1t is interesting to note the direc-
ton in which the time saved from the
study Of German is being applied and
in this connection the New York Post
says:
Onhand one would say that the
cutting down of the teaching of Ger
man would be profitable to Latin;
and this belief is confirmed by a mod
est poll of high schools and colleges
made by Prof. b. L. Ullman, of the
University of Pittsburgh. In the last
two years Latin has held it's own or
gained in three times as many schools
as the number in which it has lost.
The Middle West makes a better
showing than the Eat, New York
city reporting the greatest proportion
Of losses. and Me- England just
about standing still. One reason
seems to be that the study Of Span
ish has made remarkable advances in
the East: another that communities
of German blood in the Middle West
have given up that language impress
sively. We should not expect Latin
to be the chief substitute for Ger
man. and DR.. Ullman's figures, as
given in School and Society, show
three times as much substitution of
French and twice as much of Span
ish. As commercial and literary Ian
guages. French and 81 anish are eX-
cellent substitutes for German: but
from the standpoint Of grammatical
value. Latin is superior.

Registration of Young Women

Colonel Roosevelt, who always has

In a speech last Saturday att Balti-

ton OF all young women for indus
trial pursuits, as we'll as the young
man and in time of peace as well as
in war. 1t is a point that will doubt
less command the attention of the
authorities and who knows but what
II may become a fact? The colonel
said:
I'VE now have an approach to the
universal service which some OF us
have for years been demanding. we
now have all men from Is to 45 re-
uuired to serve their country and
required to register. Let us make
this system permanent and let us use
it for the purposes of peace no less
than for tho purposes Of war. Let
us extend the principles to women
no less than to men. Let us have
suffrage on service. Let us demand
the service from women as we do
from men, and in return give the
suffrage to all men and women VINO
in peace and war perform the serv-
ice, and to no others"

clared, certain fundamental forms

DEATH JUDGE SYMONDS
PROMINENT MAINE JURIST
AT BETHLEHEM, n. H.

Portland, Me, Sept. 2S.-Judge Joseph
White Symonds of this city, one of the
most distinguished jurists in Maine, and
for several years an associate justice of
the Maine supreme court, died very
suddenly at Bethlehem. n. H., yester-
day. Judge Symonds went tc Bethlehem
Thursday intending to pass week
there, but was taken suddenly ill Friday
with a severe attack of bronchitis, and
his physician, DR.. Addison S. Thayer of
this city, was summoned. His son, AL
derman Stuart 0. Symonds, left for
Bethlehem at the same time.
Alderman Symonds returned with his
fathers body last evening, leaving Beth
lehem at o'clock.
Judge Symonds was born in Raymond
Sept. 2, 1910, and in 1S45 with his family
came to this city, where he had subse-
quently made his home. He attended
Portland high school and Bowdoin col
lege from which he was graduated in
the class of 1860, numbering among his
classmates Hon. W. w. Thomas, for
mer congressman Amos L. Allen, Judge
Horace f. Burbank, Samuel M. Came,
A. w. Bradbury and Thomas Brackett
closest friends.
For a short time after his graduation
from Bowdoin the future supreme cours
justice taught in the Portland scnools
and then began the study of law IN the
Office of Samuel and D. w. Fessenden.
He was admitted to the bar in 1868 While
% years old. From 1865 to 1872 Judge
Symonds was city solicitor, and in 1853
he formed a partnership with the late
Hon. Charles F. Libby which lasted un-
til 1872. In that year, when only IS years
old, he MaS appointed to the supreme
bench. There lie remained for six years,
retiring to his partnership with Mr.. Lib
by at the expiration Of that time. In
1899 Judge Symonds became q partner
in the law firm Of Symonds, Snow, Cook
& Hutchinson.
Judge Symonds not only won fame
through the equity and justice of his
decisions on the bench, but also through
his ability as public speaker. He was
orator on many occasions OF supreme
moment in the history of the city and
State. and to Thomas B. Reed is credit
ed the statement that he had not an
equal as orator even in the National
Congress- He was a particularly facile
and ready writer, and deep student OF
literary subjects. His essay on Nathan
iel Hawthorne is among his most meri-
torious writings in a literary line.
The deceased justice had many ac-
quaintances among noteworthy men,
and acted as host to many people of dis
tinction. William Winter the dean of
dramatic critics and the famous Shake
spearean student, YVES an intimate
friend of Judge Symonds and was fire.
quently entertained at the Symoncs
home on Pine street. i
Judge Symonds was a lifelong Repub-
lican but did not seek political Office to
any great extent, often sponsoring the
name of another man when his own
name was suggested for a position. a
He was Unitarian by faith and a
member of the historic old First Parish
church, and he belonged to the Maine
Historical Society. Judge Symonds re-
ceived the degree of doctor Of laws from
Bowdoin college in 1894, and he had been
for several years a member Of the board
of trustees of the institution.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Where Most Sickness Begins and
Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D. .

BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D.
It can be said broadly that most
human ills begin in the stomach and
end in the stomach. Good digestion
means good health. and poor diges-
ton means bad health. The minute
your stomach fails to properly dis
pose of the food you eat. troubles be-
gin to crop out in various forms. In
digestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, but thin. impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples,
blotches, dizziness. belching. coated
tongue, weakness, poor appetite,
sieeplessness, coughs, colds and bron-
chitis are almost as common. There
is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your
stomach in good order. This is e1sy
to do if you take DIR. Pierce's Golden
| Medical Discovery It is a wonderful
tonic and blood purifier. and is SO
| safe to take, for it is made Of roots
and herbs. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
| Y, stands behind this standard medl-
| cine, and it is good to know .hat so
| distinguished physician is proud to
have his name identified with it.
| When you take Golden Medical Dis
| coyery, you are getting the benefit OF
the experience of a doctor whose rep
utation goes all around the earth.
| Still more, you get temperance
medicine that contains not drop OF
| alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Long
ago DIR. Pierce combined certain val
liable vegetable ingredients-without
the use of alcohol-so that these rem
edies always have been strictly tenn
peraSce medicines.
If piles are torturing you, get and
use Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment.
The quick relief it gives is hard to
! believe until you try it. If constlpateo. q.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should
be taken while using Anodyne Pile
Ointment. Few indeed are the cases
which these splendid remedies VIII
not relieve and usually overcome.

The Daily German Lie

1t has been dinncd into the ears of
the people for months by the Public
Safety Committees, the four minute

for the protection Of the government
at home and in our daily lives. to
look out for the lies Of the Germans
and their sympathizers. Watch out
for the story of disaster to our SOL
diers. circulated for the purpose Of
causing grief and worry among rela-
tives; for tho s1anderous stories
about prominent persons, to create
oistrust; stories Of immortality
among the soldiers abroad, to break
the hearts Of loving mothers; stories
about the sale or waste of Red Cross
goods. to create dissatisfaction and
loss OF interest; and scores Of SINH

morale.
