Brunswick, Me, June 26--Two Au-
gusta boys now in Bowdoin have
made lasting mark in the annals of
the college life. They are George
Partridge and Kimball Fisher. both
former Cony High boys and both ten
mis- stars. Back in their undergrad
uate days at Cony High, before Fish
er went to Hebron, the boys used to
be the pride of the school on the
court and now after some years of
separation they have again stepped
into the linelight as state cham pion
racquet wielders. After the pair had
cleaned up the doubles championship
in the recent state tourney by defeat
ing Cow and Smith of Colby 6-1; SO:
4-6; 6-1; Ga they We're matched in
the finals for the singles champion
ship. Fisher defeated his team mate
in the final match GA; 4-6: 6-3; Ga,
thus crowning a spectacular season
in which he has been the mainstay of
the Bowdoin quartet. 1t is rather
phenomenal for a freshman to sweep
all before him as Fisher has done but
he came to college holding the state
interscholastic crown and he has
capably demonstrated that he more
than deserved 1t. Barring accidents,
he should be the leading light in
Maine tennis circles for some time to
come. Like Partridge, Fisher is also
some what of track man, his spe-
cialty being the sprints. He is also
fellow member with Partridge of
the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and the
U. Q. freshman society.

girl who marries and has to turn her
attention to caring for a house and

housewifcly habit of mind if she sue

other things that have occupied her
mind and put more of her time into
the care of her house. Women in

would be infinitely better if politics
were in it all the time. He pointed
out that the men who rise to high
political places are usually those who
have had training in local affairs and
that il we want good officials in high
places. we ought to insist on having
them in local positions.
Women are more attentive to de-

THERE'S DEATH In THE POT'
A Celebrated London Deetse Ussl tAs Absvs
to Emphasize the Danger Of Ovoessing.
worss Thar OveTeatiag is Failure
70 Eliminate Waste.

Nature could not devise a way to
feed and repair the body without the
production of considerable waste
matter. But Nature provided for
the regular, thorough elimination Of
such waste. To disregard her in
tention is to break a natural law.
Whether you help Nature by wise
or foolish means is left to your own
judgment. To simply force bowel
movement is unwise, unnatural and
ineffective. You can choose harsh,
drastic, violently acting drugs or
take such without caring what their
action or effect is, or you can select
some old time-proven, trial-tested
remedy, that has been used Cor 20
years or more by thousands of people
all over the world, with the result
that it has won an enviable reputa-
ton as a reliable household remedy.
Take Beecham's for example. All
the world knows Beecham's; a good
~ part of the world uses Beechan's,
has been using it for years, handing
its use down from father to son,
from mother to daughter, for gen.
Grafton after generation, recommend
ing it to others. In spite of such
extensive and general use, who ever
heard complaint or criticism Of
Beecham's? That in itself is q
powerful recommendation.
Don't take anything for granted.
Reason it out All druggists sell
Beecham's-areg glad to sell them.
Beecham's reputation has been
made by its users not by its sellers.
