WEIGH Declines Nomination

The Democratic city committee have
received letter of declination from Mr.
FIJI, WEIGH, who had at the city con-
vention accepted the nomination for
Mayor. Mr.. Welch's letter gives his
reasons as follows: "After full consid-
Grafton of the matter owing to the physi-
cal condition of Mrs. WEIGH, l feel it
would be unwise for me to assume any
new duties for the present at least. |
feel should, to attend to my duty fully,
give my undivided attention to Mrs.
WEIGH and my business.
While deeply regretting this action, the
committee recognize the force of Mr..
Welch's statement. They have therefore
unanimously chosen another candidate to
head their ticket as mayor, Rev S. W. l..
Scott, who they feel is worthy success
sor to Mr.. WEIGH and would make the
city competent and trustworthy official.
Rev. Scott is very we'll known in this
community, where he has lived and work.
ed so many wears. We all know him as
man of strong character and high Chris
tian ideals, who at the same time is thor
oughly broad minded and democratic in
his relations with his fellow citizens. He
knows our people in all classes, and can
truly be said to be in touch with and in
sympathy with all the best elements of
our community. We are confident that
his administration of city affairs would
be perfectly clean, businesslike and free
from all petty partisanship. We bespeak
for him the support of all who know or
come to know his high qualifications for
the oHice.

HEALTHY BOWELS

Nine-tenths of human sickness from
infancy to old age, comes from stomach
or bowels being out of order
Headaches, tired feeling, nervous de-
preston, weakness, spots before the eyes,
bad breath, sleeplessness, irritability, diz-
ziness and many other signs of sickness
stop, if you treat the stomach and bowels
right and get them into working order.
The prescription, known as DR.. True's
Elixir, has done wonders for sick people,
men, women and children, because it is
the one remedy that you can rely on to
set things right in the stomach and bowels.
Sold by all druggists, big or little, every
where. Druggists as rule, are very
honest They do not try to substitute
something else for Dr. True's Elixir, be-
cause they know its value. Many drug
gists use it in their own families.

Plenty of Room Behind.

A mule was brought and tied near
the group head headquarters and some
one asked TO whom it belonged. One
of the young second lieutenants sug-
gested that it must be the chaplain's
mount. At the officers mess that
evening the joke was sprung on the
chaplain, a dignified college professor
in civil life.
"Where did you get your fine mount
we saw tied up out there this after
noon, chaplain?" queried one of the
young officers.
Prom Missouri" was the prompt
answer, and without a flicker of
smile.
81 think we ought to have the chap
lain head our review tomorrow on that
mule, and we would all come parading
along behind him." said the mis-
chievous lieutenant.
'There is one thing certain" replied
the chaplain, you would not crowd
him"

How 1t Figures When Plans Are Made
for Marriage of Daughter Of
Family.

When l was ten years old my Serv-
Ing woman made a mark here in the
middle of my forehead 1t was made
with red face paint and had to be re-
newed every time l went outside the
compound. That sign meant that |
was old enough to become engaged,
and that my parents would consider
offers for me. Soon after, an old
woman came to see me. She made my
serving woman remove all my cloth
ing. Then she looked me over. She
made me thread needle-to test my
eyes. She made me sew a seam-to
try my skill She looked at my teeth,
and pinched my body all over--to see
If was healthy Then she went away.
One day, when | was twelve, | heard
my mother talking about me-with the
old woman who had been to see me
before. They were talking about my
clothing. The middle woman said I
should have four pairs of silk trous-
ers and three Of cotton. I was also
to have six white undergarments of
cotton, and four linen for the hot
weather. My outer garments were all
to be of silk. and all must have
embroidery about them. Two heavy
garments were 70 be lined with silk,
and padded with new cotton. These
were to wear in the cold weather They
talked half day about my trunks.
The middle woman held out that l
should have four, all covered with pig
skin, but my mother was determined
l should have only two. At last it
was agreed that 1 should have three
pig-skin trunks and two boxes COW
cred with plain cloth. When they
came to an agreement about anything
a teacher wrote it down, so there
would be no forgetting after. He
would read it over to them often and
had to change the writing when one
or the others said they did not so under
stand. The middle woman grew very
angry when they We're talking about
the bedding | should have, and left
the court. A servant called her and
she returned. All the while they were
talking about me | felt most impor-
tant, for | had never before had a
value placed on me. Then l thought
| had not understood my mother all
my life. She had always treated me
with unconcern, because | was not a
boy, and now she was pointing out all
my good qualities and setting a value
on each of them. Then they told me
l was to be married l was to marry
a man | had never seen and they would
not even tell me his name. | asked
my mother ii he might come TO our
court and play with me. She scolded
me- He lived eight miles away, and
could not come that distance just to
see me. Silly child.-Asia Magazine.

Radium Production in United States.

G. H. Viol, writing in Science, states
that the total production of radium
element in the United States down to
1919 is about IS grams, which is
probably more than half the total
radium produced in the world. Dur
ing the war, with no carnotite exports,
the greatest part of the worlds ra-
dunn supply has been produced in this
country. In 1918 the United States
produced 1873 grams. With regard to
discussion that has occurred con-
corning the amount of radium that
can be produced from the carnotite
fields, Mr.. Viol says that the carno-
tite holdings of the Standard Chemical
company, which comprise about $50
claims and are the largest holdings I'M
der the control Of single concern,
are estimated to be capable of yield
ing at least 500 grams of radium-

A WISE GERMAN.

Macmillan Harden, editor of the Ber-

treaty, says:
''The peace conditions are not harder
than expected. They were unpleasant
to the greater part of the people. But
could one really have expected them
otherwise2
1.-The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees during the
six months since the revolution that they
have changed their system; on the con-
trary the present government and the
press have used the same methods of in
citement, the same tricks of bluff as I'M
der the old rule of the petty nobility.
"The governments proclamations and
speeches are only bad copies of the Kai-
ser's time. The whole press resounds in
protests and has started campaign of
Indictment against the allies, couched in
violent language. 1t is agitating for re-
fusal to sign the treaty; and to what use2
All must know that the allies, by keeping
up the blockade and occupying the coal
districts, can force Germany to sign
whatever they want.
"The allies have been threatened that
Germany would Join the Bosheviki.
But that would be suicidal. The only
way to rescue the country is by op enness
and honesty The revolution has been a
great disappointment.
Germany should have sent men who
would have laid their cards on the table
and got the allies to understand that some
OF the conditions were unacceptable. If
Germany showed its good will to do what
Is In its power to comply with the allies
request the allies would see that condi-
tons were changed in favor of Germany,
because they know there must be Ger

Less than two miles from the Bangor

Less than two miles from the Bangor
Postoffice is a tract of several hundred
acres of level land, unincumbered by
buildings, which will in all probability be-
come an official airplane field. 1t was
surveyed and approved by an officer of
the Aviation Corps last week as suitable.
This land is known as the old racetrack,
because there was mile track there in
the SOS and used for sporting events I'M
til about 1876. Old-timers recall many
exciting events there in the old days of
the high-wheeled wooden gigs, some of
which weighed as much as $50 pounds,
and horse that could go better than

Mrs. WEIGH Passed Away.

Annie E. Welch, wife of Francis H.
WEIGH, manager of the Hoosier Shoe
Factory, passed away at her home, IS
Hull street, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
after an illness lasting several months,
aged SIS years.
Mr. and Mrs WEIGH came to Coldwater
from Hillsdale about two years ago, when
the former was made manager of the local
shoe factory. Last October 18th a fire
occurred in the home on Hull street,
which destroyed many of the treasures
belonging to Mrs. WEIGH, and which she
priced very highly. This fact, together
with the shock of the fire, caused a
nervous collapse and Mrs. WEIGH has
never been well since.
Mrs. WEIGH has had a most faithful
attendant in Mrs. Anetta Jacobs, and
every care and attention which devoted
nurse and friend could give was bestowed
upon the patient Mrs Welch in turn
reciprocating the affection.
Coldwater residents who had the privi-
lege of an acquaintance with Mrs. WEIGH,
found her most estimable woman, a
CHEEKY, good friend and companion, and
although she entered very little into the
social life of the city, she will be missed
by those who counted her among their
friends.
In Hilsdale she lived twelve years, she
was beloved by large circle of friends,
who have been devoted to her in her last
illness.
Mrs. Welch's birthplace was Bucksport,
Maine, where she lived the early part of
her life
A short prayer will be said at the home,
Wednesday afternoon, the remains will be
taken to Hillsdale Immediately after,
where the funeral and burial will take
place.

Heretofore we have maintained the
Monroe Doctrine without the consent of
any other nation on earth. In fact, it
was originally established in defiance of
any other nation. During the Cleveland
and the Roosevelt administrations, we
maintained it in spite of the efforts of
other nations to ignore il. Those two
Presidents were not wishbone statesmen.
Although neither of them had anything
to do with formulating the text of the
Doctrine, these two men on separate &C.
casions gave foreign powers very clear
conception of what the Monroe Doctrine
then was, and did more than any other
two men to make it virile and respected
abroad at the present time.

"For the youth they gave and the blood
For the strength that was our stay,
For every marked or nameless grave,
On that steel-rent Flanders way.
We who are whole in body and soul,
We have debt to pay"
'For the youth they gave and the blood
they gave,
We must render back the due;
For every marked or nameless grave
We must pay with service true;
Till the scales stand straight with even
weight,
And the world is world made new"
The country properly demands that in
Vestigations shall be made and that those
guilty of graft shall be punished. 1t de-
mands that the account books shall be
examined and that there shall be public
knowledge of what was done with the
vast sums of money which have been
furnished by the people and entrusted to
our public servants. That some waste
of money was inevitable in the days
when much depended on haste, can be
admitted, but every man who defrauded
the people should be made to disgorge.
This will take time, but no delay should
be made in putting our financial affairs
on businesslike and economical basis.
The swing and sweep of sentiment and
war songs are now but the echoes of en-
thusiasm. We are now face to face with
necessities which call for rigid retrench-
ment in national expenses. We must
pay.
