Unnatural living conditions pre-
vent civilized man from enjoying the
health and strength Nature intended
he should have, according to NJ.
Pierre Andre. discoverer Of the cele-
brated medicine, Karnak
II the body gets sufficient nourish-
ment to keep UP the strength and i'm
purities are eliminated thoroughly
there 10 no reason why we should
not enjoy good health Indefinitely,
declares NJ. Andre.
Unfortunately modern man has
surrounded himself with artificial
living conditions that make the at
taintnent of this balance practically
impossible.
The major portion of our food is
hastily cooked and hard to digest.
Constant hard work. business cares
and social activities keep our brains
and our nerves at high tension and
we do not get sufficient sleep, rest
and recreation. The over wrought
system Graves stimulants like coffee,

That Augusta. the Capital City of
. Maine, will properly observe Nation
al Defense Day, September II, in
spite of the fact that Governor BaX-
ter has declared himself against
any recognition of this day, was in
dicated yesterday when it became
known that Major Francis H. Farm
ham, representing the First Corps
Area commander, will meet with
the Board of Directors of the Au-
gusta Chamber of Commerce at 4
O'Clock this afternoon to outline the
tentative plans for the observance in
this city. 1t was understood on good
authority last night that there was
little doubt that the Chamber of
Commerce officials would give hearty
endorsement and cooperation to the
plan.
II such action is taken at the
meeting today and the general COM
mittee named to proceed with the
carrying out of the observance as
planned, Augusta will be falling into
line with Bangor, Brewer, Portland
and other Maine cities and towns
which propose to carry out the Sug-
gestions made for the observance of
the day by President Coolidge and
Secretary of War Weeks, even with
out the gubernatorial sanction.
Citizens Differ With Governor
Governor Baxter of Maine and
Governor Blaine OF Wisconsin are
the only two chief executives in the
Union who have declared themselves
against the observance of National
Defense Day, and have not issued
proclamations for it's celebration.
With the action by the several cities
and towns the Indications are that
the people of this state intend to see
to it that the day is given the recog-
milton which its purpose warrants
1t Is fairly well understood about
Augusta that Governor Baxter has
practically refused to issue orders
as Commander in Chief of the Maine
National Guard. to mobilize the va
rious units as is the nationally en-
dorsed plan for that day. Governor
Baxter has also failed to name the
state committee to direct the OBJ
servance in this state, and the action
by the cities and towns individually
Is necessary.
Guardsmen To Participate
It is understood that in spite of
the fact that the orders from the
Commander in Chief for the assem-
bling of the guard units will not be
forthcoming, tho local companies
can be ordered out by the company
com manders and their participation
in q parade will be credited as a
regular drill. This possible phase of
the situation gives rise to some con-
lecture as to whether or not in re-
fHsing to comply with the request
a the National government that the
National Guard of the states be mo-

lures slated for an early showing is

fence to the motorists. Spacious pic
mic grounds lie adjacent to the pool,
where outing crowds may come and
spend the day midst the green grass
md shady hooks where cool breezeS blow
