A. w. Lord, carpenter and builder,

annoyed with kidney trouble for several
years. Ny back was weak and lame, %.
peoIally on arising of q morning. / could
hardly dress myself as the shooting pains
caught me across my back, every little
move made. Ny kidneys didn't act
regularly and the .secretions bothered me
lot BY being too frequent In passage.
There was sediment In the secretions,
too. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills adver-
tised led me to try them and they soon
relieved tho trouble. Four boxes cured
me and am pleased to recommend this

The Legislature Adjourns.

At q late hour Saturday night accord.
ing to the record, which was actually an
early hour Sunday morning, the legisla-
ture adjourned finally. The session was
at the end of Its fourteenth week, though
there was one week at the time OF Gov
ernor rkhurst's death when nothing
was done.
Among the more important acts which
were passed were that establishing .
full-tims highway commission and that
revising the automobile law and the law
Of the road, the latter being the most
voluminous of the acts that went
through. A most important law was
that establishing the state school fund
and providing for Its apportionment,
which will result generally to the bene-
at of the rural towns and reduce the
amount returned to the cities.
Some of the most important proposed
measures which failed OF passage were
the forty.eight hour law, the Maine
Medical School (which failed through
the governors veto), the Mt. Katahdin
State Park, the reduction of tax on steam
railroads, and the amendment to the
constitution presented by Governor Bax.
ter, providing for state control OF water
power.
Governor Baxter vetoed In all fourteen
acts and resolves, and Of these all but
three failed of passage, though some OF
them secured the necessary two-thirds
vote In one or other Of the houses.
The governor having vetoed the re-
solve making an appropriation for Q
central school building at the State
School for Boys ct South Portland, State
Senator Arthur R. Gould of Presque
Isle made an offer to give the sum OF
$4,000 for the purpose II the state
would match IL with an equal amount,
and bill to that effect was passed with
enthusiasm and was signed by the gov
ernor.
Three resolves were passed over the
vote of the governor, making appropria-
tions respectively for Cary Hospital at
Caribou, new building at the Northern
Maine Sanatorium at Presque Isle, and
the University of Maine. In the case OF
the University, the governor expressed
bis willingness to sign resolve for q
smaller amount. The Sanatorium re-
solve was passed over the veto by Q
unanimous vote In both branches and
only two In each house voted against
the University resolve.
Appropriations made for the thirty
months' period from Jan. 1, 1921, to
June 80, 1923, total approximately
$40, OOO, 900. The state tax rate, includ-
ing one mill for obligations resulting
from the war. ia 8 IL mills for 1921, and
6 mills for 1922, against Z IL mills In
1919, and Z IA mills in 1920.

except some light, scattered rains and
a few snow flurries in the eastern part
of the state. The. ground is generally
free from frost and fields in the east
ern third are so muddy it is difficult
to get around in them.
In the extreme southeast counties
wild flowers are blooming and wheat
is as green as in the spring, while
blowing for oats is about finished. The
abnormally high temperatures have
swelled the buds of peaches, apricots
and early cherries so much there is
danger of them being injured by Sc
yerely low temperatures in about all
the counties east of the middle ling
of the state and south of the Kaw

felt for earlS apples in the northeast
counties.
Conditions continue fine for wheat

good shape for some weeks to come

States, 1 understand, has held upon
some technicality that it could not re-
view the decision. And so / have
failed in my efforts to have a decision
by an unbiased and unprecedented
court upon the merits of this great
principle.
I can say this much now: Only two
people in the world know who killed
that r3an@Ihe boy and myself The
mother accused of the murder does
not know. Make out of this what
you will.
Children Not Liars.
Successful work in juvenile courts
depends not SO much upon statutes
and law books as on the understands
ing of the psychology of child life. l
can say that in more than twenty
years as a Juvenile judge, 1 have had
very few if any children lie to me.
During my work during the war in
courts in foreign countries, a common
expression was:
These children are such eXtraordi-
nary liars" They were not liars. The
courts were simply stupid institutions
that promoted lies and perjury. They
did not know how to lift the spell OF
fear that was the cause of the lies
