OF REMEDY
THAT CORRECTED
HIS RHEUMATISM
New Hampshire Man Confidently
Recommends This Blood Building
Treatment

There is no remedy that will bene-
fit all cases of rheumatism for there
are many different kinds of rheuma-
tism resulting from many different
causes. The disease. in nearly every
case, puts a sever drain on the blood
for the task of expelling the disease
germs falls upon the blood. No per-
manent benefit is possible. therefore,
until the blood is built up and Mr..
Christopher White, of No. Sc Pleasant
street, Claremont, n. H, found that
when he had enriched the blood with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills he was able
to rid himself Of rheumatism. He
says:
"Overwork and dampness were
partly responsible for my run down
condition. I suffered severe rheuma-
tic pains from my waist to the shout
ders. The pains never seemed to
cease and 1 was and couldn't
sleep. My digestion was poor and
whatever l ate caused distress.
didn't have any ambition and it
seemed as though l would have to
give UP my work.
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a newspaper and decided to
give the remedy a trial. In a short
time there was such a decided i'm
provement that I continued the treat
ment- Gradually my nerves gained
strength and my appetite improved. I
sleep we'll now and never suffer from
stomach distress. The pains in my
body have entirely disappeared and I
feel better than I have for many
months. l have told my friends about
DR.. Williams Pink Pills"

Not to Be Lost Sight Of.

Certain friends Of the administra-
ton are trying to ease its declining
years by counselliny Congress
against investigating the war blum
ders on the plea that a host of other
things of more importance must be
done. Since we entered the war our
expenditures have aggregated some
SCI. 900. 600. 900 which account should
be strictly audited; and if there are
any other errors like the discovered
duplication of an item calling for an
appropriation of 100000 600 they
should be made known. Advice for
constructive work is good. as always.
but Congress should Q and. we
trust. will not allow Democratic in
efficiency to get off by simply ignor-
ing it in the rush Of business.

OUR POSITION DEFINED.

OUR POSITION DEFINED.
1. We stand for the League Of Ma
tions a. an integral part Of the
Peace Treaty.
2. We believe that when fully IN.
derstood by our people they
will find in il nothing which
America cannot and should not
accept. and will INSIST on the
adoption Of the covenants
WITHOUT AMENDMENT.
since the attempt to amend
will proIene the war and delay,
jsopardize and perhaps defeat
both League and Treaty.
3. We endorse the position and the
efforts Of the League to En-.
force Peace. They have the
same right that W. have to
seek to educate and influence
public opinion. and to make
that opinion manifest TO the
U. s. Senate. which in this
matter is but the servant OF the
people.
4. This is net a party question. and
we shall refuse to treat Il as
such.

Maine GOSSIP
From Away Back.

III. S. Osborne. in New York Tribune.)
You may talk of roads SO poor.
When you come back from a tour.
That the constant humping made your
back teeth rattle;
When it comes. though. to abusing.
You should see the roads we're using.
All that you have said is merely child
ish prattle.
It's no use complaining. swearing
At the way they do repairing,
Or the lack Of it's what l ought to
say.
All that's done to help the travel
Is to throw on a and gravel 80,
Which-it's ten to one-the rain will
wash away.
It's bump. bump. bump!
There's nothing to the road but n
If YOU think you've seen the bad ones.
Come up here-we've got the sad ones.
For miles and miles it's rattle, slam
and thunp.
Oft I ponder in my heart
Why the cars don't fall apart.
It's a fact that is not easy to explain;
They wear out in time: It's true
But you'd think. as | now do,
lat they'd give way in a week be-
meath the strain.
Some day. though. the time will come
When our roads-yes: every one.
viii have to be rebuilt. they are so
Touring then. you will allow.

organization provided therein az we'll
As by the delegations nov sitting as

As by the delegations now sitting as
a peace congress.
Discussion has made plain the fact
that the present draft of the peace
treaty with the league of nations as
an integral part, is not so bad. in the
public mind. as to be rejected. If
United States senators OF any party
ere convinced that it is. they have a
tremendous task on hand to show
the people.
Then why not approve certain
alleged ambiguous or offensive
phrases under protest, If deemed
necessary and give business Of
America and other nations a fighting
chance for life?
Why prolong the war and the
world hold-up Of civic progress by
keeping a peace congress- in session
during our natural lives?
Are gentlemen so in love with the
present peace organization that they
wish to continue il indefinitely to
deal with the amendments offered by
the v. S. Senate, and the counter.
amendments submitted by other ma.
tions as a consequence?
End the war; end the suspense;
send our boys home; quit the bag
Cling over personal opinions; give
business a chance: put <he correc-
tons and Improvements in the
League Of Nations plan up to the or
ganization provided by that part of
the covenant which provides for such
amendments (Article XXV1D and call
our President and other peace dele
gates home.
AS a Republican newspaper the
Kennebec Journal has felt with
honest pride that the Republican
party has always been first to see and
seize upon the right side of every
great moral problem-it must NOT
fail ip this instance!
The United States Senate and the
leaders Of the Republican party are
entitled to the opinion of the Re-
publican press and its patrons. That
is our purpose in giving this frank
expression to our convictions. We
have ever felt that we could do more
for the nation through the agency Of
the Republican party than any other.
And we have felt that we could do
more to strengthen the character Of
that party by suggestions and criti-
cisms from within than from with
out.
And we have now arrived at the
conviction that the Republican party
must not make this question a
political issue-regardless of any ac-
ton by President Wilson or by the
Democratic organization-nor can it
permit a suspicion by the people
that the League Of Nations is being
juggled for political advantages.

The Journals Reasons.


We believe the time has arrived
when American public opinion. safe
~ and sanely led. can be crystallized
on the great question that has con-
fronted civilization since the signing
of the armistice last November. six
and a half months ago.. Time is
reeling off and world affairs are in
the doldrums. We are not pro-
gressive because over-discussion has
COMPOUNDED opinion. In familiarizing
an intelligent public with the IFS,
outs and ands of a momentous SUBJ
ject we have opened the door to the
ultra-nne igurers. They read into
every proposition Il subtle and. large
~, n~onsensical meaning.
We believe it is time to get down
to the practical. to summarize. and
to record safe conclusions.
The kennebec Journal has con-
sistently stood FOR a League of Ma
lions. We have had a league Of
nations" dream for years. We be-
lieve hat is true of every intelligent
human being who has found hope in
human progress. We believe the
hope of a league of nations has been
high in the hearts of men since
world war has proven the utter
failure of every other doctrine or
subterfuEe. The balance of power
has convicted itself as a snare and a
TOOL Of mammon.
Our major premise that the great
masses Of the peoples Of civilization
desire common ground for the just
balancing of the affairs of men, is
entrenched in overwhelming ex-
preston by world intelligence. re-
gardless Of nationality: religious
creed or political party. We recog-
nize the fanatical, the political. the
oligarchical. but they are over
balanced, one thousand to one-we
cannot heed them. For every Borah
we are convinced there are 1000
~righteously determined citizens
standing for something bigger than
political exigency or personal ag-
'grandizement.
On this rock we pledge u faith
that some form of a world under
standing-League OF Nations. if you
please-is bound to come. We saw
equal suffrage and world prohibi-
ton years ago. We have lived to
see the day when all the world ad-
mits hat neither can be for long
