EVIDENTLY NOT AN EXPERT
Visiting Minister Asking Blessing at
Table Was Completely outclassed
by Little Isabel.

To eight-year-old Isabel ever since
she has been able TO lisp has fallen
the honor In her family of saying the
blessing at meals. Consequently she
was indignant the other night when at
supper her father transferred this
privilege to a clergyman who was
dinner guest.
Isabel had already clasped her hands
and was bowling her head preparatory
to starting the prayer when her father
took the fatal step:
"Mr. Finderkin," he said, Twill you
say the blessingT
Isabel shot a baleful look at the
guest but warning expression Of her
mothers face silenced the protest.
Apparently submitting, Isabel bowed
her head and her lips moved swiftly as

The prayer completed, Isabel lifted
her head beaming triumphantly.

Mrs. Green Considerably Relieved
When Husband Explained His
Reasons for Singing

Mr.. Green fancied his voice, and
hardly ever failed to attend any mu-
steal evenings that were given In his
neighborhood.
On this occasion, however, he was
rather nervous, for his wife was going
with him for the first time, and she
had never heard him sing in public |;
in fact, she didn't know he had ever
done so.
When the meeting was drawing to a
close the chairman stood up and asked
If any gentleman would oblige with a
song. Green at once climbed upon the
platform and obliged-much to his
wife's annoyance, If one could accept
her expression as criterion of her
feelings

pair were on their way home, what
ever made you sing?"

REPUBLICANS WIN
VICTORY IN MAINE
RETURNS SHOW THAT THE
WOMEN PLAYED AN IMPoR-
TANT FACTOR.
State and Congressional Tickets Vic
torious, Although Democrats Claim
That Vote Is Not indication of
Sentiment of State.

Portland, Me.-The Republican
state and congressional tickets swept
Maine on Monday by $4,000 to 10000
votes. 1t was landslide, and the final
count may show an even greater ma
jority.
Strong feeling against the league of
nations and the outpouring of the
women voters-who were almost unit
against this alleged entanglng alll-
ance-are given as the cause for the
Unprecedented showing by the Repub-
lican candidates. General dissatisfac-
ton with the Democratic national ad-
ministration and desire for change
are thought to be involved in the vic
tory, declare Republican leaders.
The figures show that even with the
women voting heavily, the Democrats
barely held their own with the 1916
vote, when the women did not partici-
pate
Republican women throughout the
state were well organized, and early in
the day the Democratic women claimed
their rivals were iutimidating the
working girls at the polls.
Despite the overwhelming victory of
the Republicans, Democratic leaders
claim that the largely increased Re
publican majority is not true indi-
cation of the sentiment of the state.

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Il.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. s. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out Of the body and of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larry for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. ADV.
