MAINE LEGISLATURE
New Legislation
Nov. II for Thanksgiving Day

Nov II for Thanksgiving Day
Garcelon of Androscoggin-M
rial to Congress urging that Novem-
Der 18th be designated as Thanks
giving Day. The memorial is as fol-
/ lows:
/ Whereas, Armistice Day. November
18th. is a day Of great rejoicing
! throughout the civilized world on ac-
; count of hard-won deliverance from
the whitening blight Of autocracy, the
greatest menace to civilization, and
therefore day of heartfelt thanks
giving to the God of Battles and to all
the brave soldiers who made the vic
: tory possible; and
/ Whereas, on November 18th was
signed the Mayfower Compact, the
very beginning and foundation in
this country of free government
which, spreading abroad, was saved
on the fields of France On that later
November 18th; and
Whereas, November 18th should
therefore be made a public holiday,
uniting in it's observance free peo-
pies of the world around; and
Whereas, Thanksgiving Day, the
day first established by the Pilgrims
as a day of thanks for bountiful har-
vests, is usually observed on the last
Thursday OF November; and
Whereas, it is undesirable because
of the requirements of modern indus
try unduly to multiply holidays. and
especially for two holidays to occur
SO near together; and
! Whereas, the date of Thanksgiving
has never been definitely fixed, but
has varied at various times in the
/ past and is still subject to selection
by the President and by Governors
of States; now therefore be it.
Resolved, That the 80th Legislature
of the State of Maine respectfully
urge the Congress of the United
States to designate November 18th as
Thanksgiving Day; and be it further
/ Resolved, That the secretary of
State be directed to transmit copies
of this memorial to the President OF
the United States and to the Senators
and Representatives of the State OF
Maine in the Congress of the United
States. 4e

ucational worker of Manchester, N.
H., after being in i'll health and run
down" for years, says that today, at
81 years of age, he is as strong and
vigorous as he was at %, following
his use of Glandex Compound, the
new animal gland tonic.
Mr.. Budlong's successful expert
ment is of even more interest to the
public than the famous monkey gland
experiments which startled the world
few months ago, for this new treat
ment is within the reach CT everyone
as it does not necessitate an opera
ton.
When interviewed, Mr.. Budlong
said:
For many years had been trou-
bled with nervous and general debil-
ity At times nervous prostrations
were so severe that I was forced to
spend much time in bed.
II tried many remedies with vary
ing success, but no lasting cure was
obtained until after had used Clan
dex Compound. 1t was to me most
beneficial from the first treatment,
and improvement was rapid.
To-day, although "a years Of age,
I am fully as strong and vigorous as
the .25 year old period. I believe
Glandex Compound is the greatest
known remedy for loss of strength.
1t certainly has done wonderful
things for me and 1 unhesitatingly
recommend it to the public in general.
It is my sincere hope and belief that
my happy experience with this truly
wonderful and rejuvenating prepara-
ton will be that of everyone that
uses it."
Amazing Results Everywhere

results that are being brought
