MRS. R. WESC0T
Gains Is Pounds In
Weight
Says She Is So Happy Over Her Re-
eovery BY Taking TanIae She
Wants to Tel Everybody About It

II am perfectly we'll now and feel
so happy over my recovery just
want to tell everybody about Tanlac,"
was the enthusiastic statement made
recently by Mrs. Rosa Westcot who
lives on Gipson avenue, Brandon,
Vermont.
About a year ago my health just
seemed to break down all at once and
in spite of everything l could do l
grew worse instead of better. My
nerves collapsed and became so
easily excited that just any little
noise would upset me completely.
My stomach also became badly dis
ordered and my appetite got so poor
that I hardly cared whether I ate
anything or not. suffered terribly
from gas on my stomach and often
got out of bed and walked the floor
trying to get relief. My kidneys wor-
ried me a great deal and l was trou-
bled also with frequent spells of diz-
illness. I lost lot of sleep and be-
gan TO fall off in weight rapidly. I
was simply a wreck and often broke
down and had to stop and rest.
But Tanlac has certainly made a
difference in my feelings and l am so
well and strong now l almost wonder
if there was ever anything the mat
ter with me. The stomach trouble
has all gone and l can eat just what
ever l care to without it causing me
any bad after effects at all. l am
not the least bit nervous and sleep
splendidly all night long. My kidneys
don't bother me any more and l am
no longer troubled with dizziness. I
have gained fifteen pounds and feel
SO much stronger that I can attend
to my homework now with ease.
Tanlac has done even more for me
than l expected and / can't help but
say a word of praise for it,"
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch Webster Co. and the leading
druggist in every city and town.

have not learned to do to the thous-
ands of Americans now touring tha'
country is not worth knowing FoF
instance: A member of his party
stood at the desk of Quebec hotei
to pay a small bill. Most OF the
guests at that hotel were also Amefi-
cans The bill was but $500. ana ne
rendered an American IS bill. the
clerk passed back
Canadian 81 bill Hold on" said the
Yankee. Il want an American dollar.
Haven't any," said the C. c. What,
with all these Americans every hour
paying you their money, you can't
give me an American s1.00 bill in
change-or won't. which," And the
C. c. would only humble: Haven't
any"
The point of the story may be re-
vealed when it is said that at that
hotel and in the entire city. American
money was at 20 per cent. premium,
which meant that a Canadian dollar
was worth but so cents to a Yankee
and the hotel had the Yank from
Maine both going and coming-mak
ing so cents additional on the pay
ment of the bill and 20 cents on
simply passing back his alleged
change.

In these days of 15-cent butter one
reads with envy in Thoreau's journal
of seventyfive years ago about that
commodity being so plentiful and
cheap in the Penobscot forest settle
ment that it was used by the farm
ers and lumbermen to grease their
cowhide boots. The Concord natu-
ralist went into the Maine wilderness
in that summer of 1886 to visit Mount
katahdin. 1t was a long, hard
journey, but he found it well worth
while from his point of view as an
admirer of mountainkind. For some
years a railroad has run to within
thirty miles of the summit, but il is
only recently that the people of
Maine have come to discover that
this mountain of theirs is one of thu
noblest monuments in nature, and
merits their generation and care.
What could be more appropriate.

proposal that this splendid mountain

The Sugar Situation

The actual sugar situation is SUI
fciently complicated and our readers
may be further confused by a mistake
in the Associated Press report, print
in the Journal. Tuesday. the price of
17.l0 cents being received 1910 cents.
The despatch should have read: Two
big sugar refiners today met the cut
to 1910 cents pound for graduated
sugar" etc.
This drop is important, though local
wholesale dealers have no informa-
ton indicating that any considerable
amount is being sold at that price.
AS matter of fact one of the largest
refners in the world is still holding
the wholesalers to their contracts at
%. cents per pound. and is selling
only such sugar as it has contract
cd.
1t appears the sugar situation is
temporarily upset, but for how long
is a question for which many would
like an answer. The present distur-
bance is said by those who ought to
know to be due to speculation and
because some of the holders of sugar
able to secure the capital necessary
to carry their stocks. AS proof of
this they refer to the report of the
Government showing an impending
shortage of about million tons, bas-
ing this estimate on the amount of
imports as compared with those Of
last year and what is estimated to be
the normal consumption. Meanwhile
this is what is termed consumers
market though many of the con-
sumers are as yet looking for the ex-
pected drop in retail price. Naturally
those under contract to pay 22.5 cents
per pound are not handling any more
sugar than compelled to. Meanwhile
most Of us would like to pay fair
profit on that III cent sugar being
sold by the refiners at that figure
The wholesalers under contract to
pay 22.5 cents per pound for grant,
lated sugar. if required to meet their
contracts, will be forcibly reminded
that the Government which permitted
them to make only very small profit
when sugar was rising, giving no OPP
portunity to profit from foresight in
buying in advance, is not saying how
much loss they shall take on the
dropping price, except by inference
that they shall take the whole of it,
By the report. which the Govern
ment is sending out about an
impending sugar shortage. they may
be relieved somewhat, though there
undoubtedly will be more or less
skepticism respecting the accuracy of
the estimates, however we'll based
they may be. The public is in skep-
tical mood, has forgotten how it was
protected on rising market and only
sees that evident manipulations are
now going on and the consumer is be-
ing asked to pay a handsome profit
for somebody.

substitute for a capitalistic govern
ment? And what is a "capitalistic
government" anyway?
To continue the catechism: How
can a government operate without
capital? What is to become of the
worlds stock of capital when the
proletariat takes over the manage
ment of the globe? If capital. in it's

away, what will remain? And if
capital be taken away who will get
it?
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted to the followers of the Lenin
cult for answer.

What's the Answer?

The workers of Great Britain
should prepare not for an easy par
liamentary victory, but for victory by
a neavy civil war = 1t is
probable that when throwing off the
chains of the capitalistic governments
the revolutionary proletariat of Eu-
rope will meet the resistance of
Anglo-Saxon capital in the persons of
BRUSH and American capitalists, who
VIII attempt to blockade it. 1t is
then possible the revolutionary pro-
letariat Of Europe will arise in union
with peoples of the east and COM
mence a. revolutionary struggle, the
scene of which will be the entire
world, 10 deal the final blow to Brit
lsh and American capitalists"
This cheerful and interesting pro.
gram is outlined in communication
from the third internationale Of Mos
COW to the British labor party, in re-
ply to a set of questions submitted
by the latter, evidently asking how to
proceed in its quest for victory over
the "capjtalistic governments" A
nome interest is added to mere acad-
emic consideration Of the remarkab bile
document by the fact that the execu.
i've committee Of the American So.
cialist party has just given its en-
dorsement-with reservations-to tho
doctnnes OF Lenin and Trotzky as
expressed at Moscow In spite of the
reservations" it is quite apparent
that the Socialists approve the idea
OF a worldwide revolution to over
throw organized government, and II
must be inferred that they might he

Lenin propaganda which urges i'm.
mediate consolidation and organiza-
ton Of the revolution.
AS to the program itself. when the

have thrown off the chains of the
capitalistic governments" what then ?
Can the prophets and devotees of the
internationale produce something
more calculated to induce peace on

to provide the blessings Of life, liberty
