WHERE THE DRAG COMES

Arsenal street is in fit condition for
travelling.
And thereby hangs a tale" In
other words, a man had a drag and
the up to- now impossible street is
almost a boulevard. But it was not
political drag
The drag in question was Just the
ordinary wood, shod with iron, drag
that is owned everywhere but used all
too seldom. But it was called into
commission at the right time in this
case and, as the advertising man
says, it got results"
Up to Monday morning, Arsenal
street has been SO bad with mud and
deep ruts that automobiles have come
to grief there and more maledictions
have been uttered than by any pirate
who trod the quarterback The warm
breeze of Saturday and Sunday dried
the bulk of the water and left the
road in high ridges, much as if it
were a plowed potato field.
And then Monday morning, man
in charge of a wood drag was placed
on the job. The continuance was
dragged back and forth along the
street several times and, 10 and be-
hold, the ruts disappeared, the sur
face became smoothed and there is
now even dust rising from the much
travelled thoroughfare.
Road experts have been saving
that the split log drag or some other
kind of drag should be used more
often. They have said many, many
times that drag used at the proper
time would eliminate the majority of
rough roads. What has happened to
Arsenal street proves it, Arsenal
street is not boulevard, even now.
but it has changed so much that even
the oldest inhabitant hardly knows it.
1t is an object lesson that should
be viewed by every road commission
er in the State. If the way the COM
missioner has got after this street is
a sample of the way he is going to do
business this year, then Augusta
seems assured of having roads that
will not cause cries of derision and
keep business out of the city.

well done and is 1t not reasonable to
suppose that the practical men of this
commission are today more valuable
because Of this experience; also be-
cause during each of the past seven
years this commission have visited
substantially every mile Of state
highway and each member is per-
sonally acquainted with the traffic
requirements Of every part of the
State? That sort of experience a
new commission could not have.
however must the State might pay
them, and it will take several years
for new men to acquire such a thor
ough working knowledge.
But it IL not the Journals purpose
to argue for or against the old COM
mission. That should stand or fall
according to what the facts show.
There is the record from which it is
not clear to the Journal why the pro-
posed change should be made. There
also is such additional information
as the old commission, it is fair to
assume, could impart if asked to do
so. It does not appear that it has
been asked. Why not? There also
should be opportunity for those wish
ing to present their objections to do
so, likewise chance for the old COM
mission to make reply. 1t does not
appear that these things have been
done, and we think it will occur to
others as it does to US, that the mat
ter should be cleared up before the
State should be asked to assume such
an increased salary expense, and
throw away valuable experience.

vs. TOBACCO

"No-To-Bac" has helped thousands
to break the costly, nerve-shattering
tobacco habit. Whenever you have
a longing for a cigarette, cigar, pipe,
or for a chew, just place harmless
No-To-Bac tablet in your mouth in
stead, to help relieve that awful de-
sire. Shortly the habit may be COM
pletely broken, and you are better off
mentally, physically, financially. It's
so easy, so simple. Get a box of No
To-Bac and if it doesn't release you
from all craving for tobacco in any
form, your druggist will refund your
money without question-Adv.

The question of declaring peace
by resolution has figured persist

garding the visit of Rene Viviani, the

not indicated tonight what part the

Viviani repeatedly have denied that
the real purpose of his pilgrimage
here was to plead that there be no
separate peace, but he is known to
be hopeful that the peace settlement
may provide for some sort of CO.

1t is taken for granted that he has
urged these views in his CONVERSE

Carl B. Everberg Of 81 Beach ST.,
Woburn. Mass, writes the Priest
Drug Co, Bangor, Mel
l was first introduced to Priests
Indigestion Powder at Salem, Mass,
during the summer of 1919. When
touring through that city / was so
distressed from stomach trouble and
nausea that I nearly collapsed. l
alighted from the automobile and en-
tered a drug store asking for some
thing to take for the trouble. The
clerk handed me one of your sample
bottles first giving me a dose. Ten
minutes after I had taken the dose,
my condition was as if l had never
had any stomach distress whatever.
For sale by all druggists. If your
dealer does not carry Priests Indi-

But tell me, We cold white SleeperS,
Is that achievement the best?
We struggle for power and win it.
But 10! like fleeing breath,
1t is lost in the realm of silence
Whose ruler and king is death.

And not in the trophy that's won;

May shine in the rays of the sun

The effort alone will avail;

The faint hearted only will fail
