THE plaintiff having challenged the

comes to it's protection and to the de-

duty and she is right in her claim.
She vigorously champions the child's
cause and this is expected from any
mother.
The interests of the defendant and
of the infant in this case are to q
great extent the same.
The three Stillman children, other
than the infant whose paternity is
attacked, are of sufficient age to de-

Their preference should control in
the circumstances now presented.
While the children are with the
mother or in her charge, she must
provide for their schooling and other
necessary expenses. 1 believe TO meet
these expenses the alimony should be
allowed in the sum of $500 a month"

ROTARY MEETING
c.. P. Quimby Gives the
Address of Evening
Expounds the Subject, "FooIs' at
April list Meeting-Shows Contri-
buttons to Science Made by People
Called "crazy Fools" Interesting
and Largely Attended Meeting

A comparison of the different types
types do and the uselessness of other
types furnished the meat for most
interesting and highly entertaining
address given by Principal Clarence
P. Quimby of the Cony High school
and a member of the Augusta Rotary
club, at the regular session of the
club held Friday evening at the Au-
'gusta House. His subject was
Fools" being very appropriate for
manner he expounded his subject to
the great amusement of his Rotarian
audience.
1t was largely attended get-to-
gether, nearly 100 members and
guests being seated at the tables, and
a program of special attraction kept
UP the enthusiasm. The session was
presided over b. President Ivan Lang
who introduced Mr.. Quimby, the
speaker Of the evening.
In an address filled with humor
and keen wit, Rotarian Quimby spoke
of many things regarding Fools" but
his talk would not be his own auto
biography or u character sketch of
any of the members of the club. He
said he had chosen this subject part
iy because OF the connecting link be-
tween April / and April Fools Day
He then plunged deep into his sub
Ject, at the very outset dividing fools
into the following classes: Court
fools, educated fools, id fools. and
crazy fools.
The court fool, he explained, was
the result of the old festival when
the church gave itself up to a low
grade of ministers and carried on in
mock celebration. The fool or lester
was then furnished by the court and
came to play rather important place
with the rulers in the celebrations.
The olden rulers had these testers to
amuse them in the 10th century. And
with q humorous allusion to the pres
ent day, the speaker stated that since
the 18th century the court fool has
been ruled out in the different foreign
nations and has never been officially
accepted in this country.
The educated fool is the boy whom
his Industrious father grumbles about.
saying that he is putting out $1,000
for theeducation of a 10-cent bow.
Mr.. Quimby then told the story of a.
boy in school, whom the teacher
claimed was the fool of the class.
But when the students were asked to
go to the blackboard and write out the
Roman numerals, this boy did it cor
rectly and quickly, while many of the
more brilliant members of the class
failed. When the boy was asked by
the astonished teacher how he did
it, he replied: ut was easy; I just
copied the numbers from the clock"
In another class of fools, the speak,
er placed the man who in driving his
automobile along the street drives
speedily through mudpuddle. spatter-
ing mud and water on nearby pedes-
TRANS and policemen.
"Crazy fools seem to be the type
chat history has wished on US for our
benefit" said Mr.. Quimby. He re-
ferred, to. Archimedes, the man whom

Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick

crashes into sour bile like dynimite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be

When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and be-
Heve you need dose Of dangerous
calomel just remember that your drug
gist sells for few cents large boz
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which IS
entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute foE
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your LIVER without stirring you up in
side, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than q leopard or .
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which stsaightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly harm
less and doesn't gripe.
