ONCE BEDR|DDEN
THIS WOMAN NOW
STRONG AS EVER
Maine Resident Says She Owes
Health and Happiness to Or.
Williams Pink Pills

One of the commonest and. at the
same time. one Of the most treach-
erous diseases that afflict men and
women is anemia. or thin blood. 1t
is treacherous because it comes on
the victim so gradually that it's pres
ence is rarely noticed until it has a
firm grip on the system. Among the
symptoms are loss of color. exhaus-
tion and palpitation of the heart after
slight effort. sleeplessness. indigestion
and nervousness. When the blood is
depleted practically every part of the
body suffers and general debility is
the result.
In such condition relief is possible
by building up the blood. This can
be done by a tonic that has been used
successfully in cases of this kind for
generations. 1t is the tonic which
rescued Mrs. +. D. Winslow. of No.
116 Sherman street. Portland, Maine,
from a life of invalidism. In de-
scribing her experience Mrs. Winslow
says:
Il had been i'll about four years
and finally became SO weak and run
down that was forced to take to my
bed for months. My blood was SO
weak and thin that my digestion was
affected and suffered stomach dis
tress. / had little appetite and my
strength gradually gave out entirely.
My ankles were swollen and inflamed
and panied me a great deal.
/ Zone day after I had failed to get
relief from other medicines. read
an announcement of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills in a newspaper and pro-
cured a box. There was decided i'm
provement in my condition after TAX
ing the second box and continued
the treatment until had regained my
strength and now feel as strong as
ever. My appetite is good. rest well

from my ankles and with it the pain.

The observance of Easter at the

excellence and interest. The church

the usual Sunday school hour a very
fine concert was given by the chill

charge of Mrs. Longley. Mrs. Efie
Decker. Mrs. Nettie Keene, Miss Alma
Flood.
The evening service was a story of
the first Easter in Jerusalem adapted
from one of Florence Morse Kings
, ley's books. This was given by eight
different readers. interspersed with
appropriate music by the choir.
Rev. and Mrs. Longley have made
! unusual efforts for the celebration of
this Easter event and all who were
privileged to be present at any of
these services could not fail to appre-
, ciate the spirit of devotion and ener-
ey with which the work Of the church
is conducted.
The public schools opened Monday
after the usual Easter vacation, in
charge of the same teachers as last
! term. with the exception of the Town
| House school where Mrs. Nellie Cain

Al a crowded service at the
cathedral of St. John the Divine in
New York city on Sunday, Rev. DR..
Ernest NJ. Stires of ST. Thomas
church. preaching a sermon appro-
pirate to the second anniversary of
our entering the war. declared. re-
garding the President, that I'VE re-
greet the expression Of his views i'll
general terms when crisis demands
plain speech and definite action. We
regret his dangerous isolation and
unwillingness to take counsel with
his fellow citizens. We pray that he
may never experience such criticism
and abuse as Washington and Lin
coin knew. And yet we dare to tell
him for the sake Of America and the
world that he must not compromise
with anarchy in our name"
These are strong and true words.
They fit the needs OF the present
hour. They represent the convic-
tions of millions of Mr.. Wilson's fell
low Americans. And Dr.. Stires will
find approval echoing in many quar-
tiers for his further advice to the
President to come home and reas-
semble Congress. There has been an
unfortunate delay not only in press
ing peace at Paris but in providing
for Americas necessities at home.

Alkali Makes Soap.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store.

WANDERING Letters.

1t cannot be said that the post
Office does not give some letters a
good long run for their money.
though it does not drive them with
unseemly haste. The Merchants
Association reports the travels of a
certain letter mailed here on Feb. Is.
1t was plainly addressed to Milford.
Conn, but the postoffice evidently
thought that to send it no further
than that would be stingy. So it
went to Picton. Ont, and had the ad-
vantage of the bracing Canadian
climate and foreign travel. But, for
some reason. the postoffice did not
approve Of Milford. Conn. SO the
letter was returned TO the sender on
March :.
If this were an unusual happening
it might be regarded as a venial ac-
cident. But there are far too many
such cases. 1t is not an uncommon
experience. Such vagaries of mis-
sent mail are increasingly due to the

Strictly Enforce Prohibitory Law

IL is gratifying to note that the
Republican Congressional commit
tee is for strict enforcement Of pro-
hibitory law. In letter recently is
sued this committee gives authority
to the following:
Preparation for the strict enforce
ment OF the amendment to the con-
stitution which prohibits the manu-
facture or sale Of intoxicating liquors
will be made at the extra sessions of
Congress and enacted into law so as
to become effective next January.
Representative Andrew }. Nolstead
Of Minnesota, the new chairman OF
the House Judiciary Committee,
which will initiate the legislation. de-
clares that the first thing Congress
should DO is to determine what should
be termed intoxicating. The regula :
ton of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue that any drink is such
which contains more than one-half of
one per cent of alcohol will probably
bs adopted.
THE new amendment should be
either enforced or repealed" he said
to your correspondent. 1T is now d
part of the law Of the land and should
therefore be carried out 10 the letter.
Attempts to evade it cause disrespect
for our institutions. / am not in
favor of forcibIe searches and seiz-
dres Of wet goods which may have
been purchased by individuals before
the new regulation became effective,
because the provision applies only to
manufacture and sale; but for the
rest l think there is and will be found
adequate means Of very strictly en-
forcing prohibition in every commun-
ity in the country"
in this much of the old machinery
OF the government for the prevention
Of Illicit liquor manufacture, such as
that OF the moonshiners. should be
used. This is the Bureau OF Internal
Revenue of the Treasury Department
Its inspectors are trained in ferreting
out evasions of the government. The
states also have means at their dis
posal. Licenses will no longer be is
sued and the separate common
wealths can prevent sale without
them. Evaders should be tried by
jury and convicted. They should be
prevented by injunction from again
committing the offense. Importations
will be effectually stopped by the Of
ficers at the port of entry. The wal
time prohibition law will be effective
until six months after the declaration
of peace. but, in any event. will be-
come subordinate to the constitu
tional amendment and the statute FOL
its enforcement. While there will be
some evasion, just as there are
crimes despite the laws against them
! believe even opponents OF the
amendment respect it as part of ouI
law. And it will be much more diff
cult for local sentiment to override
the national law than the state Of
ficials who might sympathize.'
