NV dear Mr.. Priest:
1t is with the greatest pleasure
that I recommend your Indigestion

For years followed an active out

During the last ten years I have
worked as a janitor for the Central
School Building in Ashland. This
work keeps me under cover nine
months in the year and 1t has been
hard to adjust my eating habits to
meet this new condition. / have
tried every digestive tablet could

Now when 1 am feeling miserable
from the pangs of indigestion 1 take
spoonful of Priests indigestion
Powder" in a cup of hot water. and
in a short time / am feeling fine
again.
Yours truly,

maine FEDERATION OF LABOR
CONVENTION OPENS, WATERv|LLE

The Maine Federation of Labor
opened it's 22nd annual convention in
this city yesterday morning and the
concluding session will be held each
morning and afternoon in American
Legion hall on Silver street and the
evenings will be given over to the
various entertainments.
About 60 delegates were present
when the convention was opened by
Edward F. Carey of this city, chair
man of the convention committee, A
short prayer was offered by Rev. E.
A. Pollard Jones, pastor of the
Methodist church.
The address of welcome to the
delegates on behalf of the city was
delivered by Mayor Paul R. Baird
and he said in part:
IF there is one country that should
be free from class animosity it is
the United States. Here there is NO
class demarcation. The workman of
today is the employer of tomorrow
Most of our rich men and all of our
richer men have come up from the
foot of the ladder. The active heads
Of our large railroads and other
great industries have come up from
the ranks. There is no fundamental
difference between the business man.
the farmer or the workman; all av-
erage about the same in origin and
in their hopes and ideals.
"The workman is subjected how
ever to highly organized propa-
ganda calculated to strengthen and
fortify in him a feeling of class dis
tinction and as yet the gulf between
capital and labor is still Cnbridged
and conflicts between the two are
far too numerous.
"The only way this can be over
come is by putting the human equa-
ton and the elements Of the Colder
Rule into the relationship between
employer and employee. Food, cloth
ing, shelter and all the necessities OF
| life are the products of labor and as
civilization advances, the element OF
labor involved in production increas-
es, And unless we contribute oul
part to the production of these goods
we have no moral right to rartake OF
| the fruits.
'Tn conclusion let me say that botf
sides of any industrial question will
do we'll to take heed of the patent
| fact that the country at large Is less
than ever inclined to stand for quar-
rels at it's express discomfort peri
arising from the misuse or Ignorant
| use of power by one party or the
other or by BOTH"
William c. Ham of this city mex
welcomed the delegates to Watervillt
on behalf of the labor unions of the
city. A. F. Eagles of Portland, pres.
ident of the Federation, responded tt
| tn welcome for the delegates and the

College Avenue
Closed to Traffic

College avenue, from the upper
railroad crossing to Highwood street
will be closed to traffic this morning
and it will remain closed until the
concrete roadway has been construc-
ted which will probably be about the
first of August. The detour around
the part of the avenue which is I'M
der construction will be Drummond
avenue and signs will be put up to
direct traffic.
Although there is no strict rule
that College avenue shall not be used
and motorists can use 1T if they see
fit the thoroughfare will be pretty
rough going while the road building
is going on and the more practical
route will be Drummond avenue.

Appropriations amounting to $685.

ing of the Waterville city government
to care for the city expenditures for

the amount is little higher than that

city government in joint session on
the finances of the city, saying that it
was time to stop adding to the citys
debt. He told the city fathers that

raised $4,000 over that of last year
