Thanks to Tanlac I am now en-
joying life for the first time in years. y
recently declared Arthur LeBeau,
foreman Of the Porter Screen Co.,
Winooski, Vermont. For five years
I was a sick man. My principal trou-
BILE was indigestion. 1 had no appe-
tite and generally went off to work
without any breakfast because I
knew if 1 ate anything it would only
upset me.
my condition was so bad in fact,
I could neither sleep. eat nor work
with any satisfaction and was so
nervous that the least thing would
upset me. Nothing seemed to agree
with me and l would have severe
cramping pains in my stomach and
at times my heart would palpitate
badly. I also suffered from shortness
of breath, and the least little exer-
tion would make my heart thump
like an engine.
AT last I almost decided I would
give up my job as 1 got so weak
and miserable 1 felt l could stand it
no longer.
"One night as sat reading a paper
l saw statement about Tanlac
which convinced me it was just the
medicine I needed. 1t helped me
from the very first dose and at the
time I had finished my third bottle,
hardly knew myself.
Il never have the slightest symp-
tom of indigestion now and feel like
brand new man in every way. MY
appetite is splendid, my nerves are
steadied and I sleep soundly at night.
The work used to dread now seems
easy for me and am now in the very
pink OF condition OF course, I am
only 100 glad to recommend this
medicine"

shall at all times be afforded pro-
lection from filth, flies, dust and not
exposed to unclean and unsanitary
conditions. The conditions found
are evidently in direct violation of
this statute, and prosecutions
brought on account of similar viola
tons have been sustained by the
courts and the violators punished.
In every instance, where the OPP
portunity was afforded to interview
a proprietor or manager, recon-
mendations for the improvement of
the existing conditions were made,
and suggestions as to the installa-
ton of cement floors, cement or
sEeathed walls, the removal of hogs
to a proper distance, and the install
lation of proper coolers were made.
Some particularly valuable advice
was given by the Federal officer, who
has had the advantage of years Of
experience and training in veterinary
inspection work. Such advice was
given always with the idea in mind
of providing the butcher with an
equipment that could be kept in such
condition as to comply with the re-
quirements of the statute
Wherever violations have been
noted and the violators have been
previously warned. prosecutions will
be made. and, after a reasonable time
from the warning given, if condi-
tons found are not remedied, other
prosecutions must follow, and in ev-
cry instance where violations of the
law have existed, return inspections
will be made.

1t doesn't do much good to try to

To do this. get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at

moisten the scalp and rub it in gen.

BY morning, most If not all, of

every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching

Voters Keeping Late Hours

(POrtland PreSS)
That an attempt will be made to
amend the State primary law in
some particulars, if not repeal it al
together at the next Legislature, is
commonly understood. That the law
has not proved all that was expected
of it is no doubt true, but whether
the people are ready to see it done
away with is question which one
would hesitate to answer in the af-
.firmative.
However this may be, there is one
change which would be universally
approved. That is as to the hours Of
voting. When the law was framed
these hours were fixed at from noon
to nine o'clock in the evening. The
object of this change from the time
honored from six in the morning to
five o'clock at night was to accom-
modate voters who, on account of
their work. could go to the polls
more readily in the evening than they
could in the day time.
The idea was right, but experience
we believe has shown that in fixing
the time for closing the polls at nine
o'clock it was made altogether too
late. This is especially true where
daylight saving makes the time an
hour later as in Portland and other
places which have local time.

So that American Jersey cattle at
the present time may be said TO be
on the average half as intensely IN
bred when account is taken to
the ninth ancestral generation as
would be the case If continued
brother and sister breeding had been
followed. But if this inbreeding be
plotted the resultant curve is very
different from the curve of brother
and sister inbreeding.

mails are less intensely inbred than
the general population of Jersey
animals.
Bulletin POI of the Maine Station
gives an analysis of the transmitting
qualities of Jersey sires for milk
yield, butter-fat percentage and yield
of butter-fat. In this bulletin sires
of superior merit are defined as those
which raise the milk and butter-fat
production Of their daughters as
compared with their dams. The
analysis of the pedigrees for the re-
lationship between sire and dam OF
the individual bulls in the two
groups show that there is little or no
difference in this respect. The group
OF sires poorer in their transmitting
qualities are more inbred than the
group of sires with superior trans
hitting qualities.
In general. though not true in each
individual case, Jersey animals OF
the highest production in milk and
butter-fat percentage are not as
much inbred as those of lower pro-
duction.
lp general, though not true in each
case, Jersey sires, who are able to in
crease the milk and butter-fat pro-
duction Of their offspring are less in
bred than those that cannot.

measure by any means. In fact I'M

ING JERSEY CATTLE
milk AND BUTTER-FA7

Orono, Me-. June 24.-The follow.
ing was released today. from the
office of Director Charles d. Woods,
of the Maine agricultural experiment
station at the University of Maine:
AS was pointed out two weeks ago
in this series the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station devised a GUAM
titative method Of indicating the
amount of inbreeding. This is based
upon the relation between the possi-
BILE number of ancestors in any gen.
GRAFTON and the actual number in
the individual case. 1t assumes that
there is no relationship unless it be
known fact. This coefficient ex-
pressed numerically may have any
value between and 100. When there
is no breeding of relatives. that ia no
lnbreeding. its value for each gener-
alton is 0. AS the intensity of in
breeding increases the coeffcient in
creases. In the first generation of
brother and sister breeding the CO.
efficient is SO, in the second gener-
alton of continued brother and sister
breeding the coefflcient is rs, the
third generation SIS and thus an
breaches with each generation of
brother and sister breeding the
maximum of 100.
From the analysis of American
Jersey Cattle Club records it was
found to the ninth generation that
the coefticient for random samples
OF Jersey sires. lay between 4s and
So; register of merit bulls between a.

cows between AZ and G.: and reri..

gressive step by scores Of health Or
CARNATIONS. A letter. quoted below,

comment.
"The organization of the Maine
Public Health Association should be
an influential step for the promotion
of public health in Maine. In CO.
operating with and supporting public
health agencies, this organization will
encourage them to develop to top
notch efficiency. In bringing together
the scattered voluntary efforts along

will be helpful in eliminating duplica-

Trying to Put It Over Again

ut would be real service to the
party and to the nation" is the way
President Wilson begins his tele-
gram Of request to the Governor Of
Tennessee to call a special session
Of the legislature Of that State TO
act on woman suffrage. These
words indicate conclusively what was
uppermost in his mind, when. as the
executive of national laws. he again
makes use Of the political influence
of that Office, rather than of its con-
stituted prerogatives, to interfere
with the prerogatives Of a State.
Truly the political expediency Of this
act must have appealed very strongly
to him; he must have regarded I.
a feat of last resort, so to ignore the
ingrained Democratic doctrine Of
state rights"
Mr.. Harding. avowed and proved
friend and long time advocate Of wo-
wan suffrage, felt that as candidate
Of a political party it would be pre-
sumptuous for him to request the
executive of a state. to do this thing,
although, in his position he would
not be perverting or otherwise mis-
using power placed in his keeping
under oath not to misuse.
President Wilson has no such
scruples. Anything to win; success
is a duty; 30 runs the creed Of the
President of this country; so ap-
pears his attitude on this suffrage
question. When Senator Harding
was working for it Wilson was
against! When later he saw signs
Of its ultimate success he said he ia
vored 1t but that it properly was q
matter for the states: and now
we'll, there are those who have the ef-
frontery to say that Wilson Is not
an autocrat and is a Democrat. It Is
however, gratifying to know that he
is, for the time being at least, q mil
liant woman suffragist. also that
Tennessee will accept the opportun-
ity to approve. thought one may not
escape the conclusion that he thinks,
because he put 1t over the women
once on the plea of keeping us out
of war, he may be able to put It over
again. Really, however. we have
better opinion OF female perspicacity.

A Democrats Opinion

They tell me that America has
pledged it's word to Europe and that
this word must be redeemed in the
process Of a national campaign. In
my belief America has pledged itself
to nothing. One individual Speak-
ing as such, permitted Europe to be-
lieve that he spoke for a nation. for
in the last analysis he was nothing
more than a self-appointed emissary.
Nevertheless. America is asked to
validate this signature affixed abroad,
a signature which was accepted in
good faith by all the European peo-
pies as absolute.
THE President negotiates a treaty,
but the Senate may or may hot con-
cur by two-thirds majority. In this
particular instance there has been
no concurrence.
"Other nations may want a League
of Nations, and it may be that we do.
But we do not want to commit ours
solves to the League of Nations as it
was brought back from Paris. 1t is
an international issue, but it is a
highly debatable question as to what
importance it should have in a ma
tional campaign. Ultimately 1t is a
question for the President and the
Senate to settle"
The above is not the dictum Of
Senator Lodge. nor is the phraseoi-
ogy that Of Senator Reed of Missouri
before the steam roller ran over
him. On the contrary here is ex-
pressed the opinion Of a prominent
Democrat William F. McCombs, for
four years chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and
manager of President Wilson's Cam
paign in 1912.
There is no question in the mind of
McComb but we have in Woodrow
Wilson an autocrat and he describes
the manner in which, under the ex-
igencies of war and the temperament
of Mr.. Wilson, this came about, con-
Guiding: 1T was in such manner
that for the first time in the history
Of this country autocracy came into
being" But McComb speaks like ar
optimist and declares that regard
less of peace holders and pot hunt.
ers" 'the indignities of autocracy
will never again be accepted by
this nation"
Seriously we are unable to believe
the people have become jelly-fish over
night or have forgotten all the trad
itions Of the country. Unless such
change has occurred the Wilson au.
tocracy will be short-lived.

cIaimins q cineh on Labor

The Richmond Times Despatch,
Democrat, tells the party in partic-
ular and the world incidentally that
1T IL easily within the power Of the
coming convention to cinch the vote
Of organized labor, alienated from
the Republican ticket by the con-
tempt with which its demands were
treated at Chicago" It goes on to
say that "the Democratic party has
a consistent record Of fair treatment
Of labor in its efforts to improve its
condition, and it's cause has been
wonderfully advanced under the
present administration"
Tie cause Of the labor demagogue
has been advanced" There is no
argument to be had respecting that
but whether the condition Of labor
has on the whole been improved is
open to serious question.
It has been often limited that the
labor vote had its own little part in
forcing the passage Of the Adamson
law just before the presidential cleo
ton Of 1916. Now this Democratic
paper thinks the same game can and
should be put over again. After the
opening remarks quoted above the
editorial goes on mellifluously as fol-
lows in a line that means much or
nothing:
Under wise leadership, organized
labor has never shown anything but
a proper attitude toward public
rights and interests. 1t is only when
it has been unwisely led that it has
shown a tendency to insist upon the
favoritism implied in extreme de-
to open it's eyes as to the folly of
such unwise leadership, and if the
convention will counsel with it's true
leaders there is every reason for be-
lieving that a constructive program
for labor's betterment can be agreed
upon and Incorporated in a platform
which will meet with the entire ap-
proval Of that large group Of voters,
while at the same time preserving
every right Of public interest"
The final paragraph is devoted to
eulogy Of th@Democratic party as
the party Of progress, as it's record
in Office amply proves" OF late the
words and actions Of an increasing
number of United States citizens has
gone definitely to prove that the head
of the Democratic party is altogether
too much Of a party Of progress"
Not only Republicans but hosts of
good Democrats ceased to follow him
into the airy heights of progressive
ness some time ago. They are down.
right afraid of the advanced altruism
and ethereal socialism with which he
would rule the country. If the Dem
ocratic convention adopts an attitude
of extreme radicalism or even of
pronounced radical tendencies, it is
foredoomed to greater failure than
now looks probable.
