Mr.. Green fancled his voice, and

rather nervous, for his wife was going

her expression as a criterion of her

the honor In her family of saying the

supper her father transferred this
privilege to. clergyman who was a

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, "will you
say the blessing?"
Isabel shot 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
Mr. Finderkin murmured the blessing
The prayer completed, Isabel lifted
her head beaming triumphantly.

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, nl.-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 a
little time. for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course
when 1t 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.

REPUBLICANS WIN
VICTORY IN MAINE
RETURNS SHOW THAT THE
WOMEN PLAYED AN lMPOR-
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 $1,000 to 10000
votes. 1t was landslide, and the final
count may show an even greater ma
jorlty
Strong feeling against the league of
nations and the outpouring of the
women voters-who were almost unit
against this alleged entangling alli-
ance-are given as the cause for the
unprecedented showing by the Repub-
lican candidates. General dissatisfac-
tion with the Democratic national ad-
mlnistration 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 illuminating 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.
