tistry business. DR.. e. c. Bryant of

Maine Dental society as it's president
and secretary. He was also a men,
Der for ii years of the State Board of

many patients regret they cannot
longer have his services. His con-
scientious work has been his chief as
set in building up a splendid trade.
He has the reputation of doing work
which lasts and his decision to re-
tire. places first class dentist in in
activity.

Six Directors
to Be Elected in
Augusta c.. of c..

The fiscal year of the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce closed May LIST
and the annual banquet will be held
Wednesday evening. May 18th. Pre-
vious to that date, according to the
bylaws of the organization. six
members must be elected to the
Board of Directors. each for a term
OF two years to replace those whose
term expired May list. 1922. In ac-
cordance with this provision of the
bylaws ballots were sent out Friday
to each Of the 3S1 members in the or
ganization together with a complete
roster of all members of the Cham
Der OF Commerce. From this list
each voter is permitted to select six
names. which he places in nomina ton
as his preference for the positions
that are vacant. Since 1t is hardly
likely that all Of the members will
agree upon their candidates, IL Of the
names selected, they being of course
those securing the highest number of
votes, will be declared nominated and
their names will be printed on the
Anal ballot. The preliminary ballot
will be returned to the Chamber of
Commerce by high noon on Monday;
the final ballot will be printed as soon
as the returns are counted and it is
expected that the polls will close on
Saturday of next week.
1t Is highly important to the life
of any organization that the most
earnest workers and the real enthus-
lasts be elected to Office and. to a cer-
tain extent. that the members rotate
in office in order that as many as
possible may get the benefit of the
intensive training in public affairs
that the positions afford. 1t is also
important as bringing new ideas to
the front as new men make their ap-
pearance on the board. This coming
year is probably the most important
Of all to the local organization. 1t is
the third year OF the three-year trial
period for which the Chamber Of
Commerce was organized. Work that
has been started In the interest Of the
community must be completed and
the task so well performed that the
citizens will be glad to continue their
memberships at the close OF the year.
The Board Of Directors have ap-
pointed the following men as tcllers
TO count the votes in both the prelim-
mary and the final contests: Leigh
Flynt, Charles Chase and Earle
Church.

Probably Young Clergyman Feared He
Would Get Into Yet Deeper Water
If He Kept On.

In Georgia they tell of young
clergyman, newly settled over a large
parish, who had occasional fits of en-
5arrassment when standing before his
congregation.
One Sunday, after reading a notice of
woman's missionary meeting to be
held In the chapel a few days later,
he endeavored to add a special appeal
of his own for a large attendance.
After stating that it was to be a
meeting of great interest and import
ance, he said 1--WE, the women of this
congregation"
With a flushed countenance he
stopped and retraced his steps.
"We, who are the women of this con-
gregation," he began.
This was no better, and he beat a
blushing retreat by saying: LET us

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisemen

hero, was thrilled thereby at was

ed inhibitions vanished. They were
normal people, after all"
Marion did not seem so to u.s. We
do not think she should be allowed to
qualify. If she had been a normal
heroine of today, it would have been
the hair which had vanished and the
inhibitiOns which were let down.

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. As Nujol is not laxative
1t cannot grippe. 1t is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it is
harmless and pleasant.
Nuiol is prescribed by physicians
used in leading hospitals. Get bottle
