! ster. Mrs. Margaret Rollins and
Mrs. Annie Murphy. r. was by the

was composed OF 20 high school stu
dents, led by Mrs. Mary &. Smart

tons played were much enioyed by
the audience.
DR.. Thomas then opened his ad-
dress, the early part Of his address
dealing with music and art in the
schools, which he claimed were
doubly worth their teaching in that
they cultivated the appreciation OF
music and art in the souls Of The
pupils.
DR.. Thomas gave a plea for the
younger generation OF TODAY. He
spoke Of the 10000 boys and girls
OF Maine as Names greatest re-
sources. and after speaking quite ex-
tensively of Names beauty and re-
sourcefulaess he said: II am glad
! have faith in our young people.
We are their custodians. They are
naturally imitators and we should
guard our deeds aud standards 81
honor. that We DO not lead them
astray. The aim Of our schools
should be to train the present gen
Grafton to go little farther up tho
slope than we have gone intelieotu-
ally. morally and in the virtues of
goodness. virtue and kindness"
The progress in the educational
line now in Maine r. the betterment
of school conditions. such as fresh
air schools. better lights
DIR. Thomas brought his speech TO
O. close urging that the church., the
home and school should Join hands
in the protection of the building Of
the character Of the present genera
ton. He said that the bulwark Of
honor should be made stronger, "the
spirit OF thrift and honesty cuitivnt-
Cd he said. The spiritual train
ing should begin at mothers knee
but should not stop there, but con-
tinue throughout the school course,
preferably by some one teacher or
more III the community who was
known TO be lifted for such teach
ing.
After DIR. Thomas brought his ad-
dress to a close the audience arose
and sang America" accompanied
by the orchestra. Nearly everyone
| IN the hall was given an opportunity

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
Eating too much meat may clog Kid neys, then the Back
 hurts

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasion ally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney re- zion. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any drug store here. take tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal ac- tivity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine 50 it no longer irritates thus helping to relieve bladder disor- ders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful efferyescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be- lieve in trying to correct kidney trou- ble while it is only trouble.

pointed out that the legal town chair not within the province of this con- vention to elect a town chairman. Ma jor Buckley claimed that in Madison certain condition existed which led to election of set of delegates which the state convention had recognized, and that it was perfectly proper, the gentleman from Windsor Locks to the contrary to recognize a new town committee and elect a new town chair man.
 Col Bingham said that if Mir. Healy made the point of order that the con- vention could not act on the resolu- tion he ruled the point not well taken.
 There was some further discussion in which Senator John N. Brooks took part. Representative Averill of Bran ford declared the republican party had a right to interpret its own rules. The previous question was ordered and the resolution was adopted ap- parently Without dissenting voice.
 Provision was made for filling va cancies which might occur in the Cleveland delegation, and the conven- ton was about to be declared ad- journed when it was suggested from the floor that the convention would like to head from districts as to choice of delegates. A member from each district then read the list of names and the delegates began to leave the thea ter and the chairman's gavel dropped, declaring the convention ended.
 The state central committee met inn mediately after for orga nization.
 It was quite evident that large number of guests will go to Cleveland with the delegation as a number of prominent republicans who whould be delegatesdeclined the honor preferring to be guests. Major Buckley who was thought likely choice for a delegate at large declined to go that way, but will be a guest as will Col. A. N. Shepard of Portland.
 35th District
 Major John Buckley of Union, and Mrs. Annie E. Vinton of Mansfield were elected members of the republi- can state central committee at meet ing of the S5th senatorial district dele gates to the republican state conven- tion. These elections completed the new committee.

 "I hadn't sought the limelight." he said. T had thought that what is come out"
 "T don't believe the secretary Of war will indorse any action Of this kind" commented Senator Jones.

 Senator Wheeler directed Lane to tell in detail of the Standard Aircraft case.
