Lieut.. Frank NJ. Smith Recommended
for Distinguished Service Cross.

Lieut.. Frank NJ. Smith. U. S. N,
of Ellsworth, son of Mrs. Annie
Smith, has been recommended by the
Knight board, the final committee on

Lieut.. Smith had charge of the re-
fitting of the German steamship

served aboard in the capacity of first

then transferred to the bureau of

production of spruce for the navy,
with headquarters in Boston.
The territory over which the navy
had supervision included Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont. New York and
the Canadian provinces of New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, On
tario and Ottawa
In spite of the handicaps of lack
of labor. railroad embargoes, coal re-
strictions. difficulty OF obtaining and
training inspectors, and the severe
winter of 1918. the following
amounts of airplane spruce were
shipped between January and No
vember, 1918, and proved of ma
terial assistance 10 the allies in
carrying out the airplane program:
To the British, 3.S07 900 feet;
French, 100000; overseas Caproni
machines. 100000; to the army,

ing constructor of aircraft for the
navy in the New England district,
which included the Burgess plant at
Marblehead, the George Lawley
plant, the Murray & Trequrtha
plant, and the Gallaudet Aircraft Co.
at East Greenwich, r. l.
1t is for the efficient manner of
performing these services, and the
results obtained, that he
is now recommended for the dis
service cross.
Lieut.. Smith was injured some
three months ago by falling hatch,
during the trial trip of a submarine,
and has since been in the naval
hospital at Washington. He has
just been ordered to the Hot Springs.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL IA, 1920

The people of Ellsworth anticipate
with pleasure the presence here for
eight weeks this summer of the sum-
mer school for ex-service men, under
the management of Boston uni
versity, details of which are told in
another column. To those ''fn the
know" who have been hoping for
the successful consummatic Il of the
plans for this school, the announce
ment is especially gratifying. The
municipal officers and officers of the
board of trade have already been
working quietly in cooperation with
the university management, and no
additional assurance need be given
of their support. We bespeak a
cordial welcome from the people of
Ellsworth to the members of the
faculty and their families, and
especially to the soldier boys. many
of them members of the famous Yam
kee division, and nearly all of them
boys who have been wounded in the
service. Not the least gratifying
feature of the school, to the people
of Ellsworth, is the fact that Dean
Lord of the university, who has
supervising direction of the school,
and Prof. Bellatty, who will be in i'm
medlate charge, are Ellsworth hoys.

irving Times.

The reconstruction period after the
great war is characterized by what
may be called high pressure days. The
demands of business, the wants of the
family, the requirements of society are
more numerous now than ever before.
The first effect of the praiseworthy
effort to keep up with all these things
is commonly seen in a weakened or de-
bilitated condition of the nervous sys-
tenn, which results in dyspepsia, de-
fcetive nutrition of both body and
brain, and, in extreme cases, in com
plete nervous prostration.
1t is clearly seen that what is needed
is what will sustain the system. give
vigor and tone to the nerves. and keep
the digestive and assimilative func-
tions healthy and active. Many persons
from their own experience recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose. 1t
acts on the vital organs, builds up the
system. and fits men and women for
these trying times.
In cases where there is biliousness or
constipation, il is well to take Hoods
Pills. They are thorough cathartic.
