She Says

Everything is dropping in prices
but there's nary a drop in the cellar.
They do say that some women are
so fond of an argument that they will
not eat anything that agrees with
them. But the woman who tasted be-
cause her husband wouldn't agree
with her and get her kind of religion
couldn't just be included in that class.
Speaking of the Blue Laws, we'll
say they would go pretty we'll with

On the Sunday night that the lights
all over Augusta were out for quite
a few minutes one Of the young la
dies in my acquaintance had an eX-
perience. She was walking along the
street with another young lady and
they passed some folks. The young
lady who tells the story says that in
one of the party she recognized a
friend. She spoke to him and a short
rather impersonal conversation was
carried on. Then the lights flashed
on suddenly and she discovered, much
to her CONSERVATION that she had
been talking with a dark colored
young man that she didn't know Now
that the story is going the rounds,
she says 1t is only one that he made
up for fun But there is still q
doubt. '.'"

Lewiston Man Declares Tanlac Has
Completely Overcome His Troubles
After Two Long Years Of Suffering

81 have just finished my second
bottle of Tanlac, and it has already
got me to feeling like brand new
man." said William r. Therrien, 30
Birch ST., Lewiston, the other day.
For two years before taking Tan
lac I had never felt right. had no
appetite and nothing agreed with
me. had such pains in my back I
could hardly stand it and at times my
head ached like it would burst. My
whole system was completely run
down. had no strength or energy,
and it was just a drag for me to get
through my work every day.
But since taking Tanlac can eat
three corking big meals every day
and my stomach never bothers me a
particle. My back has quit hurting
me, never have headache, and
get up every morning. after good
nights sleep, feeling fine and ready
for my days work. Tanlac has done
my brother world of good too. It is
simply great

Editorial Comment
Small Potatoes
(BOStOn Post)

The Harvard Athletic authorities will
have the respect of everybody in this
region for their determination to carry
through their Southern trip, notwith-
standing the University of Virginia and
the Naval Academy have cancelled
their dates with the Crimson because
the athletes of those institutions would
not tolerate on the track the presence
of Gourdin and Jourdain, two runners
whose skins are somewhat darker than
those of men called white.
One of the reasons given for this
exhibition of narrowness was that the
Southern trackmen would feel deeply
humiliated' should they chance to be
beaten by colored flyers Just why, is
one Of the mysteries of race prejudice.
The Negro can be and often is mighty
fine athlete; if he. were a poor one. it
might be disgraceful to be beaten BY
him; not otherwise.
1t is to be hoped that Harvard will
get other dates from colleges not so
absurdly proud of their compiexions,
nor so fond of putting forth small
potatoes.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoon Of Salts II Back
Hurts or Bladder sethsrs

We are q nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid.
says a well-known authority who
warns us to be constantly on guard
against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork:
they get sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and thus the waste u re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have
stinging pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full Of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night: when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells. sleeplessness. acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning and
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts Is made from
the acid OF grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, TO neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t Is no
longer source of irritation. thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia- water drink, and no
body can make mistake by taking
a little occasionally to keep the kid
neys clean and active.-AdY.

Hollands Nuisance

Holland granted right Of asylum to
the Hohenxoilerns In defiance Of the
Allies. The risk was not great, as
public sentiment, bitter as it was
against the deposed, would scarcely
tolerate invasion Of that right even
in 80 good cause a. putting halter
around the neck of William. and
making a martyr OF him was the last
thing to be desired.
While standing 20 stoutly on the
right Of asylum Holland may have
experienced the contentment Of sat
isfaction. SO long az Germany con-
tinued to send the money and he
continued to spend it in Holland.
Lovely, but even those beatitudes
have responsibilities in their trains.
Bill Hohenzollern as a peaceable star
boarder is one thing and every
Dutchman would fight to the last
drop Of schnapps to protect him
from the punishment he so richly de-
served and which he was to receive
under the Versailles Treaty. But Bill
plotting revolution against a friendly
government is different proposition
and that is just what 1t appears Bill
has been doing. It may be, about
time for Holland to get nervous.

Maine to Lose a Congressman

The national House of Representa-
tives has performed it's duty pertain
ing to apportionment Of representa-
tives and has decided, in effect, that
each representative must take on
more constituents to look after. 1t
has done so on the plea that other
wise the number of representatives
would be too large for the proper
transaction of business. But in ar
irving at this conclusion it voted to
disregard the mandate laid upon 1t
by the Constitutional amendment
which demands that when the right
of suffrage is denied, as in the case
of the blacks in the: South, the basis
of representation of such states shall
be reduced in proportion. .~o@.
That is what the Constitution re-
quires of Congress. If done there
would have been no need Of reducing
the number of Names congressman
from four to three. The House failed
to perform this duty; its vote indi-
Gates that it intends to ignore that
requirement which the people put in
to the Constitution. Manifestly that
requirement should either be square
ly met or else should be taken out of
the Constitution. 1t is not for the
national House Of Representatives to
say what part of the Constitution it
will observe and what part it will ig-
more. It is however. the duty of Maine
to comply with the requirements of
the apportionment fixed by the ma
tional House. As the limitation to
three representatives goes into eff
feet in 1923 the election of 1922 will
have to apply under the change.
1t appears that some Of the Con-
gressmen had plans for redistricting
the II states which will lose under
the new apportionment but their
schemes were voted down and the
states will be left to do this. This
present Legislature will therefore be
called on to do this work, which may
add materially to it's duties.

A Mighty Answer

(The National Grange Monthly
The strength of an organization lies
in the whole-hearted support of the
rank and file of it's membership and
without that possession no amount Of
passing resolutions, outlining programs
or making plans will ever accomplish
anything. Here is the effective refer
endum which is always in the hands
OF the Patrons of the country, by
which to guide the destinies of their
fraternity, one of the largest and most
influential in the land, whenever they
choose to employ it.
The National Grange, In it's annual
session at Boston. took no more i'm
portant step than when it put the
Grange organization of the country
squarely on the side of the "open
shop" in industry. when it adopted its
declaration that every man should
have the right to work. when, where
and for whom he pleases, without in
reference from any other man, or
group of men. The announcement Of
this out-and-out Grange declaration
has created interest in every section
of the country; but even more impress
sive is the fact that with remarkable
unanimity the Patrons everywhere
are vigorously declaring their unqual-.
flied approval OF the Boston declara-
ton and are speaking forth in no un-
certain tones their belief that the
time has come to make a firm stand
on This great issue. That the farmers
of the country are thoroughly aroused
on this matter is amply evidenced by
the deluge of letters from Oranges and
from Individual Patrons that have
poured into the office Of this magazine
the past three weeks, all virtually
voicing the same strong convictions
on the open shop question.
