The local assessors of Maine are
again with us and again welcome to
the Capital city. Their previous cor
ventions have been mutually pleasing
we have enjoyed having them with
US and they all say they enjoyed the
visit. The beneficial results Of these
conventions have been marked, in al
most every town and city Of the
State, so much so that the few Sec
tons not yet represented at one or
all will be obliged to attend in the
future or be far behind in the pro-
cession Of progress.
Yesterday afternoons and even
ing's speaking and discussion were
unusually interesting. Men Of thor
ough acquaintance with their sub
jects spoke to attentive audiences
and the discussions and questions
showed that the audience was fully
as interested as the speakers. The
program for today is equally as val
liable and promises as much of in.
tercst and entertainment. The fore
gone conclusion is that the third an
nuaJ convention of the Local AS
SCISSORS of Maine is another success.

Editorial Comment
January IS, 1920
Lewiston JOurnaD

Fifty-nine years ago Maine put on
trial the first state wide prohibition
law. But prohibition was older than
Maine. For we find that in 1852 in
the colony of Maryland the first law
was enacted publishing drunkards.
These offenders against colonial
peace were fined 100 pounds of tobac-
co. In 1864 the Virginia Assembly
passed a law forbidding ministers
from excessive drinking-the law
coming to rebuke the gospel. Quak-
ers began to doubt the godliness Of
funeral orgies. From 1905 to this
week of 1920 the fight has waged in
earnest between the vets and the
dries. Just half a century has elapsed
since the national prohibition party
was born. Some of the early sup
porters Of this radical platform have
lived to see this fulfilment of their
hopes.
Just before we entered the war
S7.8 per cent. Of the United States
was no-license leaving but 1872 per
cent under license, so that the change
brought by the war did not seem so
startling as lit otherwise would have
proved. The 18th amendment be-
comes effective January sixteenth.
Now the attention Of the public is
turned to the maze of red tape by
which q meager amount Of alcohol
may be dispensed through the two
legitimate channels, to churches for
sacramental use, and to druggists
for medical use, on presentation of
prescriptions from doctors. Manu-
facturers Of perfumes have been
driven to the use of tartar emetlc to
cure drinkers from resorting to this
kind Of beverage-an effective cure,
1t Is said. And the big wholesale
concerns are declaring right and left,
that they will not be bothered with
handling alcoholic liquors, in view of
the red tape with which the bust
ness is entangled. Retail druggists
are baking against turning tend
ers. Thus prohibition may prove
more effective, in operation, this
week than the tiplers had hoped.

HEADACHES MAKE
LIFE MISERABLE
FOR MANY WOMEN

Thin blood and general run
down condition of the system are re-
sponsible for so many trying disord-
ers that it is almost impossible to ex-
aggerate the benefit to be secured
from building up the blood. This
treatment is useful in almost all con-
ditions in which there is no acute
disease and people who are thin. pale
! and subject to headaches and back
aches and disordered digestion would
do well to investigate the remedy
that Mrs. H. McCarl, Of No. 20 Oak

"A friend who had taken DR.. Will

yised me to try them and I did. The
first box helped my headache and
continued until had used six boxes.
The pills gave me new strength. On
another occasion I took four boxes az
a general blood tonic and they built
me right up. l also used them for a
pain in my shoulder which I was
told was neuritis and they again
helped me. / recommend DR.. WI.

ty."
Those who take tDr. williams Pink
Pills for Pale People as a tonic in
variably say that their improvement
began with a noticeable increase in
the appetite. When you are sick and
your vitality is low your appetite
fails. Nothing tastes good. You take
no pleasure in your meals. Under
such circumstances good digestion is
impossible.
DR.. williams Pink Pills tone up
the entire system, the blood is en-
riched and good red blood is essential
to normal digestion. The glands that
secrete the digestive fluids are
strengthened, not merely stimulated,
and you once more enjoy a good >ap-
petite. Looking forward pleasurably
to meal time is the first sign Of re-
turning health, strength and vitality.
