Look Into Their Health

Before you deal too severely with your
little sons and daughters because they
are irritable or because they do poorly
with tl.efr studies be sure that 1t is not
some defect in their physical condition
that is to blame.

on rainy days children can be amused
by letting them cut out pictures OF

vNIHEN you consider taking children
w into your home, the big question
raised is, How will they turn out?"
There Is only one answer to this.
However they turn out it is certain
they will make better showing than
If left to the mercy of n world that
cares little for them. Then. too, 1t is
possible to look into the ancestry of
children TO a certain extent, and it is
a whimsical fact that we are often
able to pick a better family for the
children we adopt than for the. chill
dren who are our own. But this Is
beside the point. Whatever happens
and it is only a far-off possibility that
anything unpleasant ever should hap
pen-men and women who have
opened their homes to little children
know they have lifted part of the
worlds burden they did not need to
lift. Come what will, no one can root
out this splendid fact from their lives.
and they will be immeasurably richer
for their deed.
Adopting children has a peculiar
significance now, with the world about
to enter on a MISREPRESENTATION pro-
gram. There are war orphans in our
own land, and there are thousands
upon thousands of them abroad. Here
Is deep thought for comfortably fixed
Americans.

OUTDOOR DRILL TO-
NIGHT OF LOCAL co.

The Augusta company of the 81
Maine regiment is getting right into
the world war-as far as they can.
They did it last Wednesday night
and they will do the same trick this
"wednesday evening in connection
with their regular drill. Good
weather means open air drilling and
simulated war conditions and there
will be more fun than a barrel If
monkeys.
Sergeant Joseph F. Grenier, who is
the drillmaster OF the company and
who has been doing wonders with the
outfit, week ago sprung a surprise
on the members at the drill. The
night was so good that the men were
taken to Cony field for a drill There
after the setting up exercises and the
usual maneuvers, Sergt. Grenier.
playing the role OF General F'och, al
vided his forces and had reserves ana
everything else that go with a real
scrap. But there were no guns. They
may come later.
Trenches were stormed, imaginary
Huns were put out Of commission
and carefully polished shoes were
made to look as If they had been in
Flanders mud. Nobody minded that,
however, for the drilling secured was
n big benefit and everyone in the out
lit had bully" good time.
Tonight. if the weather is good,
there will he more of this sort of
drlllinE-attacks by squads. storming
OF trenches and the like. For this
reason. t5ergt. Grenier requests that
the members Of the company leave at
home their polished shoes, creased
trousers and standing collars.
Get down TO soft shirts and old
clothes" is the injunction of the
martinez. And that's just what the
members will do, for they are going
into this thing with bang.

Extensive repairs are in progress at

already in place on the vast side Of
Nashs Printing Shop. Three catch
basins are also being installed. In
digging a catch basin near the old
sidewalk the workmen came in contact
with a ledge which will have to be
blasted before it can be finished. The
grade is to be raised about four feet

"The name Spring Fever" said

to describe the peculiar lassitude
that so many people complain OF at

"Of course" he continued. "the ex.

suit is that nature is calling for an
