Mr.. Griffith was repeatedly pressed
by Mr.. De Valera to define his posi-

new case of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde.
Mr.. Griffith was challenged to define
his attitude toward the republic and
it evidently was supposed that he
would have difficulty in reconciling
his position as president with. the po-
sition of chairman of the provisional
government.
Mr.. Griffith. however, frankly

he said that when the free state was
framed and ready to come into op-
Grafton there must be a general cleo

between the free state and the con-

Mr.. De Valera's attitude toward
Nh. Griffith was considerate and re-
spectful and Mr.. Griffith expressed
his cordial appreciation of this.
Some of the De Valera supporters,
notably Erskine Childers. were anx-

which were obviously intended to
embarrass him.. He finally lost his
temper, declaring he would answer
no questions of "any damned Eng

Teams Of City Hockey League -
Carnival and Hockey Committees
Meet
Two more hockey matches were
scheduled to be played this week at
the new State Park hockey rink. at
a meeting OF the hockey committee
held Tuesday afternoon at the office
of the Augusta Chamber of Com
merce. At 7.30 this Wednesday eve-
ming, there will be game between

club will be issued by Frank B. Con-
don, George c. Clarke or Orrin B.
Frost. No person will be admitted to
the rink except those holding tick
cts. Spectators holding tickets will
be admitted inside of the rink fence.
The suggestion has been made that
season tickets be issued, but no ac-
ton has yet been taken on this mat
ter.
Another suggestion Is that the
teams which are now playing in the
City League be revamped in accord
ance with the lines of occupations,
the teams so far proposed being from
the Central Maine Power Co., the
State House, the industrial establish
ments and the business men. The
meeting yesterday was presided. over
by Frank 3. Condor, president of the
Hockey Club.
The Carnival committee, of which
Alden Hichborn is chairman, met on
Tuesday and reported that one half
of the sum required had already been
subscribed. 1t was suggested that
admissions be charged of 25' or SO
cents a person to each event, to pay
part of the expenses. Among the big
events planned are carnival parade
all participants in carnival costume
raid on Fort Western. all contestants
being in Indian or pioneer costumes;
and the big carnival ball at City
hall. This dance will be under the
direction of Lawrence Purinton and
Charles P. Kinsman. The winter

A FEW QUESTIONS

school and himself the honor of hav-
ing put it across."'
Cony High has the reputation of
winning what she gees out to get.
What will she get out of that coming
prize essay contest backed by the
Maine Life Insurance Underwriters.
and which takes place throughout the
State January 10? Cony High will
be in like class with the high schools
of Portland, Bangor, Lewiston, Deer

Which school has the pupils who
can best write English? Which has
the pupils who can best make their
knowledge function on the firing line?
These are some of the questions be-

Public Is Amazed at !. ]
Continued Enormous
Demand for Tanlac

terribly detected, depressed feelings,
state that they have been entirely re-
lieved of these distressing symptoms
and restored to health and happiness
by taking Tanlac.
Tanlac has never been advertised
as a cure-all or that it would per-
form unheard-of wonders. The ad-
vertising has been clean, straight
forward and conservative. Actual
facts and figures have been stated
and stated in a true, business-like
way that has commanded the conf
dence Of all in the conservative
claims set forth.
The enormous demand for Tanlac
is due to merit alone, for no amount
of advertising would continue to sell
any article that does not possess real
merit. Unless full value underlays
the article advertised, the advertising
will ultimately fall of it's own weight.
You can fool some of the people
some of the time, but you can't fool
all Of the people all of the time"
Tanlac has been well advertised, it
is true, but such a large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about by advertising alone. 1t is what
the people themselves say that
counts. One bottle of Tanlac is sold
in a neighborhood through advertis-
ing, but ten more are sold in that
same community as result of the
sale of that first bottle and that is
why Tanlac has succeeded. People
are always willing to talk about their
ailments, but they are more than glad
to tell others of the medicine that
helped, them. 1t is something they
could not keep to themselves if they
tried, for the impulse to sympathize
with your fellowman and want to
help him is one of the strongest, as
| well as one of the biggest, things in
human nature.
That is the reason why the people
of every section of the United States
and Canada. have become to speak of
Tanlac as the Worlds Greatest
Tonic, And that is the reason why
the demand for this remarkable med
icine has grown to such proportions
that it is almost impossible to keep
dealers supplied.
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by John
Coughlin and by leading druggists
| everywhere.-Adv.

William L. Fairbanks

The many friends of William L.
Fairbanks, only son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank L. Fairbanks, will be very sor-
ry to learn of his death which occur
red at his home Tuesday forenoon.
MIR. Fairbanks has been in poor
health for some time and the latter
part 'of last week underwent a sur
gical operation at his home from
which time he rapidly failed up to the
time of his death. His age was 20
years.
Mr., Fairbanks was in the navy
when the war was declared and when
he received his honorable discharge
from the navy he re-entered the SER
vice reenlsting in the regular army
as a member of the 3rd Co. 1st Bat.
Infantry Coltz. After his discharge
from the service he went to an under
taking school in Boston where he
completed his course and received his
State permit to do undertaking and
embalming. He assisted his father in
his business here and later opened up
a furniture and undertaking estah-
'llshment at Unity which he was con-
|ducting up to the time of his death.

Interesting Session. Of

The meeting of the Augusta League
Of Women Voters which is usually
held every other Tuesday evening was
held in the afternoon, Tuesday, as an
evening meeting would conflict with
the MacDowell recital. AS usual the
meeting was held in the assembly
hall at the Y. NT. c. A. building and

This is the first meeting under tie
newly elected officers and in the alb
sence of the president, Mrs. Horace
Sturgis, the chair was occupied by
the first vice president, Mrs. w. r.
Pattangall. The regular business
meeting was first held and it was
decided that hereafter the meetings
would alternate, first one in the after
noon and then one in the evening.
Following this meeting there being
no speaker invited for the afternoon,
the time was occupied with a few

ers His friends accounted for it by
the fact, as Mr.. Griffith himself said
later, that he had been engaged for
many months in continuous and
arduous public work in London and
Dublin and must now assume re-
which would tax his whole strength.
The irreconsilables sought to op-
pose adjournment on the ground
that meanwhile expenditures could
not constitutionally lie incurred
without the Dai's approval. Mr..
expenditure was involved except the
ordinary weekly wages of the de-
partment officials, which it was not
desirable to stop.
Mr.. Griffith requested adjourn
ment Indefinitely but on appeal by
Mr.. De Valera consented to fix the
date as February IA. A general
agreement was thus reached.
Mr.. De Valera. however. had not
exhausted all his requests for infor.
nation. He arose again to ask
regarding the position of the army
Richard Mulcahy, the new minister
of defense. announced that it would
be his policy to keep the army alb
sOlutely intact. Mr.. De Valera SAID
an order to the army should be
given in the name of the organized
republic. The minister replied that
the army would continue as the
army of the republic. At this De
Valera expressed satisfaction.
Immediately after luncheon the
Dali was brought face to face Will
an urgent practical matter by {
deputation from the Irish labor
party. The dcputation submitted
the question of unemployment il
Ireland and the standard of living
The situation was declared to be
serious, and the Dali was asked tt
deal with the problem. Mr.. Griffith
promised that a committee would
be appointed to inquire into the
matter.
The intervention Of labor is re.
garded as plainly intended to
strengthen the hands of the makers
of the treaty and to show that labor
looks for practical and immediate
results from the provisional govern.
ment and afterwards from the Free
State.

People All Over Ameri-
ca Want to Know
What Is Behind the
Phenomenal Success
of This Preparation
That Makes It the
World S Greatest
Tonic

Day after day the question is be-
ing asked all over the United States
and Canada: What is the reason for
the phenomenal success of Tanlac?
Why do we hear so much about it?
and, Why do Tanlac sales keep in
creasing every year, when other med
icines seem to have a short lived
popularity and are then forgotten?
The answer is simple enough. The
test of time has proven to people all
over the American continent that
Tanlac always produces most graft
flying results and that the remarka-
BILE relief it brings seems to be more
permanent than ever before believed
possible.
Tens Of thousands of persons, ev-
erywhere, who took it when it was
first introduced six years ago, report
that they are still enjoying excellent
health and millions of American
homes are now using Tanlac as the
family medicine after first trying it
cut thoroughly and proclaim 1t the
Worlds GREATEST Tonic.
Thousands of men and women. of
all ages and in all walks of life afflict-
ed with stomach, liver and kidney
disorders, some of them of long
standing, as well as thousands of
weak thin, nervous men and women
apparently on the verge of collapse
have testified publicly that they have
been fully restored to their normal
health, strength and weight by it's
use.
Still others, who seemed fairly
we'll, yet who suffered with indiges-
ton, headaches, shortness of breath,
dizzy spells, sour gassy stomach,
coated tongue, foulness of breath.
