HOW ONE WOMAN
GAINED HEALTH
New Hampshire Resident Tells How
This Remedy Strengthened Her
Nerves

Nervousness is generally traceable
to one cause, poor blood. When the
blood becomes deficient in quality
and quantity. it fails to give the
needed nourishment to the hard
working nervous system. The nerves
OF the stomach are incapable of CO.
operating in the process of digestion
and stomach trouble follows. Some
times this starved condition of the
nerves manifests itself in neuralgia
and sciatica. at another times in nerv-
BUS headaches.
An example of the results obtained
by the tonic treatment of nervous
disorders is the case of Mrs. Mary s.
Higgins. of No. 1925 Wilson street.
Manchester, N. H. She says:
Il was almost a physical wreck.
My strength was so far reduced that
l couldn't walk from the parlor to the
kitchen. lost weight very rapidly
and was down to ninety-six pounds.
There was a constant, intense pain
in my right side and my complexion
was white. 1 suffered also from ter
rible sick headaches and my nerves
were SO upset that I had trembling
sensations all over my body.
Il read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a newspaper and procured Il

took six boxes in all. AS a result
my nerves gained strength, my color
improved and l now feel better in

"What 10 the. Matter with labor?"

We rise to ask, in all sincerity,
what is the matter with labor? We
ask this question because we want
to know! Ten thousand people are
writing monographs and specula-
tions and editorial advertisements
that are being printed in all styles Of
type. in all languages. in all the
world, but most Of them-these self
appointed and even regularly ap-
pointed writers-are really doing
nothing more than to ask questions.
or to raise controversies. or to cloud
the record.
Everybody, from king to common
er, from Samuel Gompers to the win
dow washer-who has just given a
swipe and a promise to the wide
East Windows" and gone his way
is very sure that whatever happens,
labor is to always be paid its present
wage and a greater one; but We want
to know-when is the time to again
arrive when labor shall. with glad
ness. devote itself to giving "a full
days work for a full days pay?"
The window washer says when you
ask him to please go away for few
hours and come back when you are
less busy: "Oh. that will beHall right.
I don't need to actually wash the win
dows, you know. All I have to do is
to just simply report I have washed
them. That will do. won't IT." The
old negro who owes you for a mule
for which you took his note eight
years ago is working for you now by
days work, at about three times what
he actually earns, but you realize
that the only way you can keep him
will be for you to never mention
the old debt which he should have
long since paid. You know this. for
you have. tried it and the old fellow
simply started to walk away without
any further parley.
Does this thing which bothers lum-
bering, and iron molding. and ma
chinery manufacture. and the running
Of trains. and the building Of rail-
roads and the cooking of your din
ner concern just those things and no
others? Does 1t for instance extend
also to agriculture? It most posi-
lively does.
We have an looked forward to the
homecoming Of. the Man In Khaki.
He viii have learned to work; will
have learned to obey: would have
learned what exactness and prompt
ness and general uprightness mean
AZ applied to life: but most emphati-
cally he has not learned those things,
al q class.
Labor r. In the saddle In America
ana he r. not . very good rider and
he 10 riding to God knows where, and
even with an these handicaps we
doubt Il he win ever be unhorsed!
The man who can tell M specifi-
cally what tho matter is with labor
will receive the blessing Of all man
kind and achieve for himself more Of
the love Of humanity than has ever
before been melted out TO any human
soul since the besinnin Of tho days

Unifieation Of the United State.

Unification Of the United States
The drafting of men from all walks
and conditions of life into the army
in 1917 and 1918 was hailed as the
consummate evidence of the genuine
ness of American democracy. All
languages were spoken, all tempers
and temperaments met on a common
footing. all received the same treat
ment and the same pay. Through
the vigorous training Of the camp
and field they got to know each other
for what they were and all learned
valuable lessons from their buddies.
In France the same process went on
in the realization Of the big job and
the need for united front and single
purpose.
Now that the war stress is over
and the men are discharged and free
to follow their own bent. we might
expect to find a change Of feeling.
But what Of the St. Louis convention
of the American Legion? The one
note sounded throughout was Amer
icanism. Everything was put to
that test II it met the test, we'll and
good. If not, it fell under the white
heat Of their wrath. The proposal to
hold the next convention in Chicago
met firm and definite refusal on the
ground Of the unamericanness of its
mayor. Until it has an American
mayor it is no place for soldiers to

delegate from the Soldiers and Sail

ors' Council got short shrift. In spite
Of the polygot character Of the Amer
lean army this notion of American
patriotism has gotten hold of them
and will not be dislodged. There are
some five million of them who are a
power to be reckoned with hence
forth in American doings.
The old sectionalism has also un-
dergone a change through the war.
Men Of the South have found out that
men of the North have some pretty
decent qualifications, and the men of
the North have not messed with the
southerners in vain. The East and
West have learned to know that the
country must have two coasts and
also section in between. Col. Jack
Greenway of Arizona, who command
ed the 101st regiment for a time and
who was one of the delegates at st.
Louis, says he hopes to visit Boston
in order to tell the people what fine
soldiers they sent to France. The
Texas delegation declared their mind
for the next convention by shooting
40 votes for Pittsburg." Throughout
the convention the whole country
spirit took precedence over any Sec
tional issue. Those who went pre-
pared to fight for discrimination
against the negro didn't do it. Those
who went to grumble against the
government didn't do it. There was
something in the air too big to allow
these little prejudices to have the
floor. 1t was and is the spirit OF
Americanism. the unification of the
United States.

German Threats

Germany now knows that it is not
a me und Colt" peace.
Gen. Ludendorff says they had ex-
pected America to let them off easily,
but now they think they have been
swindled-as we'll as licked.
1t seems that Germans did not
know America. They said aloud, in
official circles, that America could not
fight. They said America cauld not
be dragged into the war. They said
America did not dare resent their
trampling Of American rights and
honor.
Germany made the mistake Of driv-
ing America into the war. She made
the mistake Of taking for granted
that any one man or group Of men
could set aside the verdict of the
American people. She made the mis-
take of thinking that she could get
away with her shameless pretense of
injured innocence, when all the world
knew that she was ten thousand
times convicted Of all the foulest
crimes conceived by human brain.
Germany raves and rants and
threatens, as she has done from the
start and not glimpse Of the truth
has yet penetrated her hog skull.
She does not know that she has won
and deserves the contempt and hatred
of every civilized being on earth. She
cannot yet understand that the world
is aware that she must be reduced to
impotence before any other human
being can trust her.
She has been asked (and will b
forced) to return some of the loot
she has taken. but she cannot be
made to pay (for she hasn't enough
for all that she maliciously destroyed
in order that whoever should win the
war. would lose it because of
Germany's trade lead.
Let Germans continue as they are,
as they always have been, If they
must, but the world has Prussianism
where it can be handled now and
other nations are likely, for a long
time to come, to remain in a temper
that will have little sympathy for
Germany in what she has brought
upon herself.

Of Him who was born in q manger
and came out Of Galilee.-Lumber
World Review.
We cannot see the good that will
come to the Lumber World Review
with the knowledge Of "what is the
matter with labor" Most Of us
know the matter" but as yet we
have heard of no one offering So
luton Of the present problem.
In a local bank on Monday a man
was attempting to secure money on 2
mortgage of his home. He said it
was the only source Of relief from
his difficulties. His obligations had
been made before the war. On the
pre-war basis his salary had been
more than sufficient for the needs Of
his family. Then came increased
prices for necessities. sickness and
death in his family. more sickness,
still higher cost Of living and no in
crease in salary. The result was q
visit to the bank for q mortgage
loan.
Said the banker: you are, evil
IDENTIFY, not a member Of a labor
union?"
mo, every increase Of wages that
they force increases my burden and
that of millions of others, for this
endless chain thing must get it's
pound Of flesh from somewhere. Ev-
cry raise in wages makes the cost Of
some product higher and then other
branches Of organized labor are hit
and they, too. must have a raise
and so it goes. i can't see where the
rest Of US are to get off, in the end,
for with every increase Of pay and
shortening Of hours comes greater in
dependence, arrogance. and other
folks be- damned attitude on the part
Of organized labor. The average
union days work is a travesty on
square deal, in many of the trades,
because SO many unfair, lazy and in
competent MEN ride the union wagon
for no other purpose. They can in
dulge their natural bent under pro-
lection of numbers, where in honest
competition they would have to do
the fair thing.
Il cannot see the end Of this thing,
but can see the end Of many Of US
salaried fellows under the rapid evo-
luton of union labor domination.
They do not know; 9s9 out of every
thousand of them evidently do not
care. for they can see no farther than
the next pay day. The administra-
ton has lent itself to the folly by bid
ding with class favors for party. pa
tronage.
II sometimes wonder what proper
ton of labor, organized or morgan
lied. is beginning to grasp the facts"
In the interest Of fair play. We wish
to add what the man in the bank in
his resentment overlooked, that there
are black sheep in most fiocks, but
that honest. fair-minded. and square
workmen men are the same men in a
union as out of it. They are still
giving a good days work, whatever
the limit Of wages and hours fixed by
their organization. We know that
many such men realize and regret the
disposition Of some to shirk and
"get by" on the strength of organ
ization. But they cannot see the
remedy and should a crisis come they
would suffer with the rest.

The Damariscotta Herald some
weeks ago published an interesting
article from S. H. Clark of how the
delegates from Bristol reached Port
land in October, 1919 to attend the
convention held to formulate a Con-
stitution for the proposed new State
of Maine. Considering the modern
means and methods of travel it is
worth reading: The three sent from
the town of Bristol were Commodore
Samuel Tucker, Capt. John Fossett
and William McClintock, Esq. By
arrangement Tucker and Fossett met
at the home of McClintock, where the
three delegates crossed the Damaris-
Gotta in a "dugout" "a boat shaped
from large log) and landed in
Boothbay, just north from Fort Is
land. Walking from the place of
landing to Boothbay Harbor they
were joined by the delegates selected
from that town (Boothbay) who were
DR.. Daniel Rose and Major John Nc
Kown. They then proceeded to char
ter fishing schooner'and hoisted sail
for Portland but meeting head winds
it required two days to make The pas
sage to Portland. 1t will be seen that
about three days were CONSUMED by
the Bristol delegates in reaching their
destination which is striking con-
trast With our modern modes of trav-
cling as an automobile would cover
the distance in about two hours. An
other interesting fact in this incident
is that the five delegates who repre-
sented the two towns, Bristol and
Boothbay. would now be living in five
towns instead of but two as at that
time. Com. Tucker lived in the north
easterly part Of Bristol. which in 1928
became the town of Bremen. Capt
John Fossett lived near Pemaquid
/. Falls. while VIM. McClntock, Esq,
lived on the fridge" so called in that
part of the town that recently was in
corporated as South Bristol, DIR. DAN
iel Rose lived in Boothbay while Ma
jor John Mckown lived on Cape Ne
wagon Island. Then a part of Booth
bay. In 1S42 this island was incor-
porated as a town named Townsend
and few years later the name was
changed to Southport. Truly time
brings changes in all things.
