which each home has It's share
His family had colored woman
Of the name Of Julia, who did the
wash, according to Mr. Dlnwiddie,
her husband transporting the clothes
to and from home One night he start
ed with big bundle Of freshly washed
clothing. 1t had been raining and
there were puddles along the street.
The unfortunate man slipped, the
bundle hit the street opened NJ, and
its contents went into mud puddle.
Needless to say, he couldn't deliver
the wash, and he hated to take it
back home. But he was forced to
face the music"
A week later the colored man
showed up at the Dinwiddie home
with the clothes spick and span The
family, of course, had found out what
had delayed their wash and were pre-
pared for Sam.

about the clothes when you had to
take them back?"
Sam grinned.

Health Habits for Children.

Health instruction and its result in
the formation Of habits, is the sub
ject of a daily record of health habits
for every child in the schools Of Wash
ington, D. c., according to the United
States bureau of education. Blanks are
marked after the morning daily in
spection by the teacher. Each school
day mark is given for the pupils
observance of such habits as brushing
the teeth, carrying handkerchief,
keeping a good posture, taking thir-
ty minutes physical exercise. Thirteen
health habits are noted. At the end
of month a rating is given to cor
respond with the daily record, and the
sheet is sent home folded around the
report card, to be signed by the pa,

The Declaration of independence

A "Hall of Fame" ought to be erected
at Washington in honor of the Sc brave,
determined, patriotic men who signed
that famous old document known to all
the world as "The Declaration of Inde-
pendence" With commendable appre-
citation we have erected memorials to the
heroes of the Revolutionary war, the
war of 1872, the Mexican war, the Civil
war, the Spanish American war and the
great World war. We have also erected
many memorials in recognition OF pat
riotic services performed by eminent
statesmen since the creation of this great
republic. Nowhere, however, has me-
mortal been esta blished in honor of the
men who signed the never-to be forgot
ten Declaration of independence. 1t will
be $50 years on July 4, 1926, since our
forefathers affixed their signatures to the
declaration. 1t would be most appropri-
ate to dedicate a memorial to them upon
the occasion of that anniversary.
1t is high time these men were accord
ed the recognition that is justly due them.
With but a comparatively few exceptions
the names of these Sc men have been for
! gotten by the average man or woman OF
the United States. During day of in
tervewing around the United States
Capitol, and on the streets of Washing
ton, one would not find a single person
who could mention more than half a
dozen of the men who signed that famous
document. Yet these are the men who
made this republic possibility. Had it
not been for their courageous action we
would have no Fourth of July celebra-
tions throughout the length and breadth
of this fair land and no occasion for any.

FOR SWIMMERS TO REMEMBER

With the coming of the swimming sea-
son once more swimmers should fix firmly
in their minds the fact that certain pre-
cautions must be observed to avoid ac-
cidents.
Those who 60 into the water soon after
hearty meal court danger. Those ven
turing too far from shore in rough wea-
ther or before they have had sufficient
practice risk their lives Those who get
themselves into difficulties in the water
through imprudence endanger not only
their own lives but the lives of those who
60 to their rescue. Deep water Is not ne
cessary to the enjoyment of swimming.
A veteran fisherman off Coney Island
greeted swimmer who had braved a
head wind in order to reach the dory, an
chored on the banks half mile from
shore with the remark that the water
close in shore was just as salty as the
middle of the ocean.
The muscular effort used in swimming
is entirely different from the muscular
effort required in other sports. Every
part of the muscular system is brought
into play in this health promoting past
time, which confers such far reaching
bnnefits that everybody who can engage
in it should do so.
Those having accest to salt water enjoy
a boon which is denied to residents of the
fresh water States. The latter must be
content with ponds and lakes and rivers;
but health ant enjoyment can be had IN
any of these down to the smallest OF the
swimmin' holes IN which the neighborhood
boys laugh away the happiest hours OF
their lives

MAINE INTERESTED IN
r. r. CONSOLIDATION

The Transportation Act of 1920 directed
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
prepare a plan for the consolidation of the
railroads of the United States into few
great systems While the Act does not
direct that Commission actually to effect
consultations, it specifically declares that
future railroad combinations must care
fully follow the specifications of the plan
finally adopted. That Commission has
proposed and published tentative plans of
consolid alton. Its final plan will be de-
termined after public hearings on this
subject beginning at once, and it is ex-
pected that the hearing concerning the
New England roads will be. held in Boston,
in August.
This is a matter of vital interest and of
fundamental Importance to Maine and
New England and it is absolutely essential
to Names future welfare that she takes
correct and determined action at the
pending hearings.
II is of the utmost Importance, there
fore, that there be formulated at the
earliest possible moment, for presentation
I to the Interstate Commerce Commission
at the hearings, a plan tor the consolida-
ton of the railroads of Maine which will
protect her best interests and most fully
meet her future needs.
The Maine State Chamber of Commerce
& Agricultural League, with the Maine
| Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
i merce, have had several meetings in Bos-
ton and Portland with the Presidents OF
the various New England railroads, and
| also held several public meetings, and, so
| far, there have been four proposals SUBJ
mtted, with the Interstate Commerce
| Commissions recommendations:
1 no. hac faA nntlt IN
this matter by committing the interest S
of Maine to a well balanced committee
composed of the following able men:
Ex Gov. Carl E. Milliken of Augusta.
chairman, representing the state at large.
Hon. Charles E. Gurney of Portland,
chairman of the Public Uti tiles commits
sion, representing that body.
Hon. Edward w. Wheeler of Brunswick,
representing the railroad Interests OF the
state.
Edwin NJ Hamln of Milo, representing
the manufacturers and shippers OF the
state.
Leslie E. McIntire of Waterford, repre-.
senting the agricultural interests OF the
state.
All sections of the state are represented
on the committee.
This committee takes up its work with
out in anv way being committed to any
plan, and it has free hand to makt
whatever recommendations and sugges
tons it may desire. The various con
mercial and trade organizations OF th'
state, such as the Associated Industries
chambers of commerce, the grange, th'
Association of Bankers, the labor or
panizations and other bodies will be in
vited to appear before the committee ane
give it the benefit of its knowledge ane
advice. Gov. Baxter hopes that hearings
will be held within the state, that some
plan may be agreed upon and that united
front may be presented to the Interstate
Commerce commission. 1t would b'
highly desirable to have this done.

Our Ancestors Treated
Constipation Naturally.

Constipation is as OLA as the world.
Most people must fightit from birth to
death. Some use harsh cathartics or me .
tallic drugs that force relief, but do not
strengthen the organs so that they per-
form their functions normally.
Our early ancestors turned to Nature
for pleasant relief. From herbs, barks,
roots and leaves blessed with laxative
properties, they prepared pleasant, eff
fective extract. Such a remedy as cur
forefathers made is Dr, True's Elixir. the
True Family Laxative and Worm Expeller.
Prescribed for bis patients originally
seventy one years ago by DR.. j. F. True,
conscientious Maine country doctor, it
has become household favorite. Con-
tains no metallic druQs-just pure ex-
tracts that purify the bowels as they
cleanse. Used over 70 years. 40c-60c

Alienates Sympathy.
fSprinQfield Union.l

The affair is likely to be greater blow
to the striking unions than to coal opera.
tors. Nothing alienates public sympathy
OF respect quicker or more thoroughly
than violence, and especially violence OF
this murderous type. No strike can win
by such methods or long survive such out
breaks. The effort to find excuses for
extenuatina circumstances only fires pub
lie opposition.
Furthermore, under decision of the
court the unions become liable for the
damages thus wrought and union funds
subject to attachment. Mr.. Gompers re-
sents such decision, yet to deny justice
and the power of the law in such cases is
but another way of justifying violence
and murder to prevent the freedom of ac-
ton among working people who do not
belong to the unions, or to the particular
unions that are on strike.
