The Importance of economy has been i'm
pressed on oar minds in recent years. We
want to know that we are getting the most
and best for our money, no matter what we
spend it for.
In the matter Of medicine there is probably
no more economical course of treatment than
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron,-a real
iron tonic-taken in conjunction, one before
eating and the other after.
The combination of these two great medi-
cines brings into cooperation such we'll.
known substances as sarsaprilla, iron, nux
and pepsin, best for the blood, nerves anc
digestive organs.
This combination is especially recon
mended in cases that are scrofulous, or re
heumatic. auemic and nervous, or where ths
blood is both impure and pale, deficient il
iron.
In cases where a laxative is needed Hoods
Pills should be taken.-Advt.

A SUBSCRIBER,
ELLsw ORTIZ, ME-, March II, 191

ELLsw ORTIZ, ME-, March II, 1919.
To The Editor of the american:
lam very glad to give brief answer to
the question of your subscriber. If he
will be good enough to come to see me,
/ should like to go into the matter more
at length, but will not cucumber your
columns more than to say that think it
would be calamity of the first magnitude
for America and Great Britain to get
competing with each other to see which
could build the biggest navy, and that
would probably happen il we started out
to build one bigger than hers.
at the present cost of bsttleships and
their present size it would be very easy
to spend two thousand million dollars a
year. We are spending seven hundred
fifty million now. Ten years ago the late
Senator Hale told Chairman Padgett, of
the House naval affairs committee, which
originated and forms the naval bills, that
probably MIR. Psdgett would live to see
the day when our appropriation for the
navy would be one hundred fifty million
dollars. Since then it has been over q
thousand million in one year. Expendi-
lures Of those enormous amounts must be
stopped if we want to get any food at
reasonable price.
But to get back more closely to the
concrete question, the principal reason
why think we do not need a navy so
large as that of Great Britain is because
she requires a larger navy for defense
than we do. der possessions are spst-
tered all over the world with water be-
tween; ours are practically in one spot.
They cannot raise enough bread in
England to support the people; we can
raise everything we want here. l favor
a sufficient navy for defense but not one
for the purpose of licking England or
anyone else. We are a large country
and we require large navy, but not
necessarily the largest in the world.
Your subscriber rather assumes that we
may have to fight with England. think
not. l am willing to take chance that
we Will not, and bet money on it by saving
it and not spending it on the biggest
navy.
A hundred years ago we made a trade to
have no defenses OF any kind on the line
between US and the British territory of
Canada, and no war vessels on the lakes.
We have saved millions in money, and
people have forgotten there is any chance
OF trouble. The same principle can be
carried further.
There is fer less chance of trouble be-
tween Great Britain and US than ever
before. We worked together to save civil
Ization, and did the job.
am not at all pro- British, and never
saw any real American who was as
against his own country. We are now
the most powerful nation in the world.
and everybody knows it. No nation in
the world can overcome us if we have
sufficient defensive protection to enable
us to gather up our resources. Other
governments know this better than we
do. There is slight danger of anybody
attacking US, and we can afford to take
the chip off our shoulder and at least not
talk about Licking" any body.
Yours truly,
JOHN A. PETER

ELLSWORTH, Me, MARCH 8, 1919.
To the Editor of the American:
l have read the recent speech OF the
Hon. John A. Peters with considerable
interest, and would like to ask, through
the columns of The AMERICAN, why he
doesn't approve OF the United States
having as large navy as England. is it
because he thinks we would be able to
lick her with a smaller navy, as we have
always done in the past, or because he
has a tendency toward petting the British
Lion, as the present administration seems
to have.

To Talk With
Your Brain

MOUTH-TALK or brain-talk -
which kind do you chiefly use
during a business call or confer
ence? Il can't see half as many
men as I could see or as should
like to see during the day because
my callers, once they get in to see
me, waste my time with inconse-
quential talk" said a busy execu-
tive, recently. consequently, ny
secretary is under instructions 10
admit only such persons as she
thinks must see."
II you make business call know
beforehand what you are going 70
present and how. Don't waste time
in non-essentials and triyiaIities.
Fix the objective of your talk be-
fore you call. 1t may be a yes.or-
no decision; it may be a promise
merely to consider your PROPOSE
ton; it may be the fixing Of
specific date when you can go into
the matter in detail. Whatever your
objective is work toward It as rap
idly as you can; and when you have
reached it pick up your hat and sly
"Goodby." This is one Of the
surest ways Of making a favorable
impression.-The Pace Student.
