[ that the office of county clerk, especially to serve the best in- terests of the county. requires one of known ability and ex- perience. My opponent may have the ability. but l think l can righfully assume that he hasn't the experience and knowledge of the affairs of the office sought that have. as the records made during my incumbency will show and which is open to the inspec- ton of anyone disposed to verify this statement.
 If is stated in the announce ment card of the candidacy of Mir. Pilkington, appearing Tn the Courier-Index, that in the race for the office before, he was defeated by only a few votes. To be accurate, l here with give the vote of two years ago. as taken from the tabulated statement announc- ed by the county central com mittee after canvassing tue vote cast in the previous prl- mary-out of a total of 9SI votes cast. King received 5S3 votes and Pilkington 4O4-ma- iority for King 179 votes- hardly so close as one might suppose from the statement referred to. However, that has very little to do with the present campaign. as the old adage has it. ga miss IS as good as a mile", and l trust my democratic friends thru out the county will duplicate the defeat on the 2Sth instant.
 It is needless to say, if you again honor me with your support, I shall fill this office in the future as I have in the past-for the best interests of the county and the taxpayers, and shall greatly appreciate the honor conferred. If you feel that I am worthy give me your support.

To the Democratic Voters of
 Lee County:

Ii was noted in the Courier Index of last week, the 10!h inst. that 1 have an opponent in my candidacy for the dem ocratic nomination for county and probate clerk of Lee county. in the person of Mir. Geo. H. Pilkington. At this late hodr. the democratic pri- mary being so near at hand, ii would be Impossible for me to- make canvass of the county and interview each of you personally in behalf of my candidacy, as 1 would be pleased to do, hence l issue this card. Besides, if I had the time to make such a can vass, the unfortunate condi- ton of my wife at this time, who needs my constant at tendance, would prevent 1t. Fully realizing that public of flee is a public trust to be con- ferred by the people, and rec ognizing the right of any vol CT to honorably seek it, yet in this instance I deem that my opponent, ill seeking the of flee at this late hour of the campaign, and with the un- fortunate circumstances by which 1 am at present sur rounded-to which allusion is made above-has taken an unfair advantage of me in so announcing his candidacy. l do not think that he has treat ed me fairly in the premises; hence, I appeal to your sense of fairness to right the wrong, if you so consider it, by your support on the day of nomi- nation.
 I have served the county faithfully and trust satisfact- orily in the capacity of its clerk for many years, as the records show, and will contin- ue to do so if honored with your further support. l hold

The Latin play ".Andromeda. :"

direction Of Miss Florence Whittt,m
and for the benefit of the Junior Aux

cessful both financially and as a mo
dunn of showing what the pupils in
Latin are capable of doing with the
language.
The story Of the play is very inter
csting and although the large ma or-
ity Of the audience knew not word
of Latin, yet so skillfully did ,nc
young actors and actresses present
their parts that the thread of tie
story could be easily followed.
The costuming was very appropri
ate to the occasion. Some Of the cos
tunes were hired and others were
of home production but filled every
need and presented a good effect
Music was furnished by the high
school Mandolin Club, which was q
its usual high mort and the special
ties were also most pleasing. Miss
Bessie Levine sang n solo, For My
Country, For Your Country" with
good effect; a cornCt solo by Miss
Dorothy Harlow was much "njoycd;
n mandolin duet by Misses Madclit&
each and Dorothy Harlow was finely
done and the Little Butterfly ! Y
the Misses Iida Fiset Adrienn"
Cloutier, Lorette Cloutier and Jose
phine Willette was exceedingly pref
ty in effect.
Miss Maude Heron in the title role
of Andromeda displayed her usual
talent, while Herbert A. Perkins as
Sepheus. the king. and Miss Bertha
Cobb as Cassiope the queen, did fire
work in their parts. They were ably
supported by 4 large cast. The entire
cast had their pictures taken Friday
forenoon at the Preble studio.

All over New England and in many
other states people who have been
run down in health are finding new
strength and vigor in treatment SO
simple and so rational that it causes
no inconvenience or disturbance OF
the regular routine of daily life ana
so effective that words Of commenda-
ton for 1t are being received from
every community. Rest, recreation,
out-of-d door air and a good tonic to
build up the blood and strengthen the
nerves are all that so to make UP
the treatment that is proving so sue
cessful.
When the body is weak and the
blood thin it is sometimes difficult to
find the cause unless a wasting i'll
ness has preceded. or the sufferer
happens to be girl in her teens
when good supply of rich red blood
is so necessary and when the danger
from anemia is greatest.
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in ones surroundings or
work. may lead to a slow impoVer-
ishincnt Of the blood and an enfeeble-
ment Of the whole body. When q
serious stage has been reached there
seems to be nothing that Will account
for il.
In such cases a complete change of
climate or of work will sometimes
effect cure. 1t takes Il long time.
however. and for the great najority
of sufferers is out of the question.
The tonic treatment at home solves
the problem for most people because
it makes it possible to build up
wasted bodies without losing time
