the full play of a distinguished
man-wit, logic, feeling. clear
thinking. high idealism and great
good sense. The figures that he
used to drive home points were

fore the forum of the conscience

top of another until they were
half lost in the fire of his elo-
quence.
And at his smashing league
climax "a cali of the roll of al
lied nations who had signed the
league-and then the four who
had not Mexico. Russia, Turkey
and the United States-a whirI-
wind of anger and enthusiasm
swept over the delegates he
could do as he would with them
it was the most complete cap
itulation.
Even the New York delega-
ton, which had for the most part
sat mute under the chairman's
appeal was on its feet to a man
and cheering.
Well. we Democrats have a
leader in Homer Cummings.

The Republicans, but we have a

Harbinger of Spring.

Spring comes first TO the milliner
and second to the florist. Perhaps
four months afterward the public per-
ceives her. Yet moralists and ethical
students have failed to pay tribute to
the two who, above all others, keep
alive our faith in spring. How heart
ening it is to see hats Of tulle and
straw pressing through the blizzard
wild roses smiling from a snow
weighted brim! In the Valentine
month, before the swamps have shown
the pussy willow, we may meet white
lilac trees and daffodils. crocuses and
tulips, violets and iris, by merely peer
ing through a pane. Shows cannot
frighten us nor ice dismay. We gaze
upon the jocund hats, the living bloom
of peach and cherry and know that
Primavera will not too long delay

SERGT. McLAIN
OUT WITH FACTS
Well-known Salvation Army Worker
Says Her Splendid Health is due
TO Taplac

to Tanlac.
Mrs. Sarah McLain, a popular
Salvation Army sergeant residing at 5
A Summer Court, Portland, Maine, is
now an ardent champion of the
merits of the Master Medicine" Tan
lac since she began taking it few
weeks ago.
Mrs, McLain has been associated
with the Salvation Army nearly all
her life and has followed the good
work both in England and the United
States. She has carried on her work
of charity in Portland for the past
twenty-three years and is highly
respected and esteemed by all who
know her.
While dis using Tanlac, which has
been so beneficial to her, Mrs. Nc
lain, said:
Il am deeply indebted to Tanlac
for the good it has done me and will
| always praise it. My improvement
has been so great that my friends
have noticed it and have remarked
about how well look.
But before | began taking Tanlac
| was in an awful rundown condition
| as result of serious operation
three years ago, the effect of which |
| had not been able to Overcome. My
appetite was very poor, and having to
| live on the very lightest of foods on
account of weak stomach and bad
| digestion, l became extremely weak
| and nervous. The work of preparing
| breakfast for the family tired me so
| would have to lie down and rest,
| and at times l was so nervous that |
was almost frantic. l also had the
| worst kind of pains through my chest
and just felt perfectly awful
| "One day | was looking over the
| paper and came across a testimonial
| that described my case so well that |
| decided to try Tanlac, and ! can
| truthfully say l began feeling better
! right from the start and my pains
disappeared with the first bottle. |
have taken four bottles now and seem
| to be in just perfect condition. My
nerves are steady and normal and |
have strength to do my homework
without feeling all tired out like | did
| before, my appetite has returned and
| can eat and enjoy my three hearty
meals day and am feeling like an
entirely different person. Tanlac is
one medicine that everybody. should
know about, and as it was a testi-
monial that caused me to take it |
feel that I ought to make statement
myself and try to help Others"
Tanlac is sold in Ellsworth by E.
G. Moore, in Sullivan by Dunbar
Bros, in Little Deer Isle by H. G.

in South Bluehill by NJ. B. Grindle,
