Perrigo had been a model prisoner

or out Of Jail.
Mr.. Gross has been turnkey since
July IS last. Mrs. Jewett was not

working in Mr.. Cummings family.
Judge Maher said he had talked
with County Attorney Fisher, who

Afternoon Session
The amount of business before the
Governor and Council was such that
the session continued into the af-
ternoon. when VIM. r. Patrangail, OF
Augusta asked the correction Of the
election returns from the city Of
Lewiston, where. a clerical error was
made.
1t appears that in Ward 6 the vote
was 116 for Albert f. Verrill for
county attorney and the returns gave
the figures 1856. 1t was shown by the
original tabulation or tally sheet that
the tail of the letter ~" on county
attorney at the top of the column
crossed the second figure l in the 116,
making it appear like figure and
the girl clerk in adding the figures
on the machine thought it was and
recorded the number as 1856. The tall
ly sheet was exhibited to the Cover
nor and Council and the error plain
~ seen.
City Clerk Napoleon H. Hamil Of
Lewiston was sworn and idcntl-
fed the papers and records intro
duced and substantiated the state
ment as to how the error was made.
Counsel Pattangall stated to the
Governor and Council that the cor
rection in no way affected the is
suance Of election certificates, but
! those interested wished the correction
made because other matters in con-
nection with that election would
probably come before the court. mat
ters that were not thought to be
within the Jurisdiction Of the Gov
ernor and Council.
The remainder Of the meeting was
devoted to executive session. during
which the trustees OF the Juvenile
Institutions had business with the
Council relative to the new building
at Pownal.

The long pull in getting over the
grip demands that all the organs Of
the body be kept in their best work
ing form, not only to drive out the
poison left by the grip germ, but
that the patient shall regain strength
as soon as possible to avoid further
attacks resulting from the poisons in
the system, paralyzing the greater
part Of the tissues of the body and
the organs which they compose.
Forced nutrition is a means toward
good health after the grip-as it is a
means Of preventing the entrance Of
the grip germ to the system. Father
Johns Medicine builds up the body
because it is all pure nourishment
