Don't Breathe Iodine Fumes.

Z. Fumes Of iodine have recently been
urged as a method Of administering
that drug preferable to the usual
tincture. 1t has been shown by ex-
periments that. fumes are absorbed
through the skin; and when inhaled
are absorbed by the lungs, but it was
shown also that inhalation is very
dangerous even in small quantities,
especially when there is any disease

Happiness in Labor.

Nothing is more talked about than
happiness. But what is it? Here is
the answer: Happiness is great love
and much service. The great mass
of men are reasonably happy because
they are in love and at work. They
complain Of their work.; even call Ia
Dor curse. They dream Of a
life Of idleness and self-indulgence,
and imagine that is heaven. 1t is not.
1t is hell. This world was made for
lovers and servants.--Exchange.

observe. They have been going
through their stocks. taking account,

and then visitors will be given the
chance to see what they will be able

city will be open to purchasers. If
you need anything from q milk bottle

Features of the Fourth's Noise

There also blew into Main street an
ancient cannon, which was quite ro-
ciferous in stating its mind In fact,
so powerful was it that Officer Roder-

used. and the fire extineuished. but
the awning is practically loss.
Naturally, no one knows who threw
the fire cracker.
Another similar occurrence took
place the night before the Fourth.
Francis Bartlett was driving his
touring car along the principal thor
oughfare, when someone hurled a
large fat cannon cracker. with a
sputtering fuse, onto THE top Of the
car. The cracker did It work max

fine Job by ripping the top to pieces.

Naturally. no one knows who threw
the fire cracker.
The billboards by the Haines the

show the signs Of the Fourth In
many cases, there are holes blown in
the boards by the judicious appIi-
cation of giant cracker, and in
other instances. the signs and post

Fourth Night as Wild as Night
Before

If the night before the Fourth re-
sembled day in d western boom
town in the days Of the gold rush. the
night Of the Fourth in Waterville re-
sembled most of all night in some
invaded city in Belgium. Every sort
of a noise-making explosive known ~
the modern boy. and there are many,
was in evidence. Main street from
the Kennebec Journal Office looked like
a street under bombardment. Giant
firecreckers, ignited from somebody S
cigarette. hurled into the air. burst in
midair with deafening report. Des-
peradoes on this side of the street
emptied their guns full of blank car
tridges at similar outlaws on the other
side. Gangs paraded up and down
hurting torpedoes against the sides
OF the buildings. These exploded with
sharp noise and made pun of
smoke. They resembled fire bombs
and it required little ina ginstipn to
picture the throwers as details out
setting fire to the occupied town. Ever
and anon the reverberating boom of a
cannon in the north end rumbled down
through the town. The intermittent
swapping of firecrackers was mingled
with the cracking of explosive SUB
stances under the feet of passers-by.
and was punctuated by the hurried
reports of revolvers as their owners
emptied the chambers at top speed.
Autos went through the streets at
top speed, the occupants looking out in
a terrified manner shrinking at the re-
port of cannon-crackeds hurled at
them. The wild shrieking of their
horns added to the din. Every now
and then the scream OF some woma n
or girl. frightened by too close fire
cracker. gave color to the scene. 1t
was a wild. wild night. and was a most
satisfactory celebration of the ma
tons birthday.

Suffers Several Fractures

Two passeBs.by who were in front

man. they picked him up and carried
him into the house. where they
found that he was Mr.. Dunbar him
self A physician was called, and
after making an examination. found
that Nr. Dunbar had fractured his
collar bone and three ribs, one of
which had punctured his lung. An
other physician was called into con-
ference, and it was thought Saturday
night and Sunday that there was very
little hope for Mr. Dunbar's recovery.
but Sunday night and Monday he
showed signs of improvement.
Mr.. Dunbar had gone up the ladder
to repair the rain gutter at the caves
Of the house. 1t is thought that he
slipped or in some way lost his bal
ance, and fell to the ground beneath,
a distance Of 30 feet or more, strik-
ing in such a way that he broke his
collar bone and ribs.

AUGUSTA LOCALS
Mild Celebration of
The Fourth in Augusta

Baseball flames, Augusta vs.. Port
land K. Of c. Chief Feature Of Day
Heat Oppressive in City and
Many People Go to Lake and Ocean
Resorts
While Augusta staged no special
celebration of the Fourth, the noise
Of the exploding hrecrackers and
torpedo throughout the day and the
many displays of fireworks in the
evening, gave evidence that the
young folks were busily engaged in
making it a real day for celebration.
With the ringing of church bells and
the firing of revolvers, the day was
ushered in soon after the Sunday
midnight hour, and as daybreak APP
preached the noise increased. Bright
and early in the morning the young
people commenced to make it aday
Of days.
The chief feature of the day were
the baseball games at the Williams
Field, forenoon and afternoon games
Augusta VS.. the Portland Knights of
Columbus. the report of whcih will
be found elsewhere in the Journal.
Many baseball fans also went to To-
gus to see the Togus-Vassalboro
contest.
Old Sol put over celebration all
by himself sending the mercury well
over the 80 mark. 1t was indeed a
hot day and many Augusta people
journied to the lake or to the Ocean
resorts to enjoy the breezes and es-
cape the heat Of the city. The Is
lander carried many passengers on
it's trips to and from the Boothbay
resorts, and the open cars of the
electric road were largely patronized.
The American Exposition Shows
opening at Capital Park proved a
coed drawing card in both afternoon
and evening. Altogether. it was a
mild celebration of the Fourth in
Augusta. but yet a real holiday with
plenty of out of door attractions
No fires or accidents were reported
on the day.

has never been in danger asd we
have always heretofore had the feel
ing that il is never likely to be,
though this feeling has been some
what shaken by recent events.
Contrast this condition of mind
with that of some European .coun-
tries The French know what IL
means to have a victorious enemy
march through their capital, to lose
territory and pay heavy indemnity
Other continental powers have had a
similar experience. In all these
countries the national defense is a
live issue. The military forces must
not only be adequate in material
and personnel but they must be kept
intelligenty efficient through con
slant training in readiness for war.
Under these circumstances the
truth about the actual condition OF
their armed forces is so vitality i'm
portant that anyone who can point
out a defect or suggest anD improve
ment viii earn the gratitude of his
government. Criticism is recognized
as so vital to the efficiency that it is
not only welcomed but is invited and
is rewarded when it proves benefi-
cial.
"Oficers not actually on duty are
at liberty to publish any criticisms
they please Of the actions Of the
government or of any OF its depart
ments. For example, since the sign
ing Of the armistice books have been
published by Adn1irals Jellicoe,
| Fisher, Scott and Bacon and by
Field Marshall French. These books
contain criticisms of such severity
as to make any of those which have
in comparison.
I I'm the United States We have not
only always neglected to provide for
public critism of our officers, but we
j have actually forbidden it. More
! than a year ago a senate committee

ter of vital Importance to our first
, line of national defense. Practically
all Of the naval witnesses testified
that the organization of our navy
depa rtnent is such as to make At inn
possible effectively to prepare for
i war or TO conduct war. The evil
dence was apparently conclusive
that we entered the war unprepared
that a makeshift organization had 70
I be attempted during the war; and
that it was not completed when the
! war ended Notwithstanding the
Importance Of this investigation the

The government. and to a certain

warfare and less about the actual
condition of their military forces
than the people Of any other great
powers"
Admiral Sims expressed the hope
