She Was Weak,
Thin and Nervous

The greatest strength-giver and
producer of good healthy flesh Is Cod
Liver Oil, it's full of vitamines.
But it's nasty smelling
and hard to take, and usually upsets
the stomach.
Thank goodness! we don't have to
take it from the bottle any more, for
now Coughlins Drug Store, Sex
tons Drug Store and all druggists
are selling McCoys Cod Liver Oil
Compound Tablets, sugar-coated, and
as easy to take as candy, so that you
can get the real Cod Liver Oil in
condensed form and get just the
same results as with the horrible
smelling liquid.
Men and women, weak, thin and
nervous. are urged to put on weight
and get back their health and
strength with these wonderful tab
lets.
One woman gained Is pounds in
five weeks and that's going fast en-
ough for anyone.
Only 60 cents for 60 tablets. and If
they don't put five pounds of flesh on
any thin person in 80 days-why,
money back and no quibbling about
it, either.
'But be sure and get McCoy's the
original and genuine Cod Liver Oil
Tablets"

| Tells Rotarians
! Of Holy Year
Pilgrimage to Rome

George d. Hegarty gave the Rotary
club one of the most interesting talks
that it has had for some time when
he told of his recent trip to Europe
at the meeting at he Elmwood hotel
yesterday noon. Mr.. Hegarty and
his wife were the only people from
this city to make the Holy Year pill
grimage to Rome and besides visiting
in the Italian city for some time
they travelled extensively about the
other countries of Europe.
Not only did Mr.. Hegarty tell of
the incidents of the journey but he
discussed the economic and social
conditions as he met them in Italy
and France. He was of the impress
sion that Italy was better off eco
nomically than was the rest of
Europe and he saw signs of improve
ment and prosperity. France, he
said, was especially bad off economi-
cally and he saw many signs of dis
tress in that country. Begging, Mr..
Hegarty said. was to be found in all
the larger cities to an extent never
dreamed of in this country.
When in Rome and again when in
Paris Mr.. Hegarty visited the Ro-
tary clubs of those cities and he said
that he found them greatly different
from those of this country.

MEMORIAL DAY
PLANS OCCUPY
LEGION MEETING

Plans for Memorial Day obser-
vances occupied the greater part of
the time of the regular meeting of
the George n. Bourque post of the
American Legion at its hall last
evening.
Preparations are being made for
one of the biggest meetings of the
year to be held next Monday. At
this time there will be first class
speaker, an entertainment by expert
talent and a memorable feed. Final
touches will be put on the program
for Memorial day and it is hoped
that every Legionaire in the city
will be present.
The Legion caps which the men,
bers are to wear to meetings and
other special occasions so that they
may be identified as members of the
George n. Bourque post were worn
for the first time last evening and
the Legionaires looked quite dis
tinctive with their new headgear.
Comrade Daley of Ohio. field repre-
sentative for the Legion attended
the meeting last evening.
Indications are that the post will
own home before the year Is over.
The matter of procuring home has
been under discussion for several
weeks now and the committee in
charge of investigating feasible sites
has done thorough job.
Next Sunday the Legionaires, ac-
companied by the members o. the
auxiliary will attend the Unitarian
church in a body and from present
indications from 25 to so will meet
at the Legion hall at 1915 Sunday
morning. Comrade Harry Brawn has
made arrangements for the decora-
ton of the graves of dead comrades
in outlying towns next Sunday af-
ternoon at 1 o'clock when a group OF
Legion men wNl leave Legion hall
for that purpose.
Officers of the Legion are making
a determined effort at present to
compile a complete list of the dead
comrades and it is not the intention
of the Legion to overlook any de-
parted members. However. as mem
bers are continually moving away
and active membership changing 1t
it is difficult to keep an accurate
list. The officers will be very thank
full to any relatives of deceased COM
rades who will notify them so that
proper action can be taken.

that he was driving between Is and
Is miles an hour at the time of the
accident. that he had become blinded
by the lights of automobiles going
in the opposite direction and that he
came on the two pedestrians so
quickly that it was impossible to
avoid striking them.
Police chief Franklin 3. Gaskell,
deputy Alfred Poirier and F. M. Frost

the scene of the accident as quickly
as possible. Mr.. Gaskell said that
he did not think Daye was going
more than 20 miles an hour at the
most.

"A Safe Tin"

Yesterdays initial clue was the
final operation in working the COM
bination Of the Adventure safe,
now in the entrance of the Augusta
Opera House. The article told that
the clue was inserted in one of the
local Merchants ad. 1t was inserted
in that space which dealt with the
New State Highway Map, and it
read: safe Tip'-Turn once to right
to 40-it opens then at S5. This gave
stimulus to the efforts to secure the
prizes locked within of good many.
Adventure" being a new Paramount
picture, this safe stunt will probably
be adopted in many cities, and Au-
gusta, for being the first city to in
novate it will reap commensurate
publicity. To further this project,
and supply some magazine. N. Victor
Campbell, local photographer, took a
picture of the entrance yesterday
forenoon. On the other hand, We are
very keen on seeing some local person
succeed in working it's combination,
SO that a perfect campaign may be
achieved by presenting the lucky one
with the goods offered by Davis & Co.,
and the family pass by this news
paper. Therefore, again today, and
then until the safe is opened, we will
publish daily a clue-relating to the
combination. We will insert that
clue-or tip-near a local merchants
ad-each day a different merchants
ad. Consequently, it is up to you to
read first this article then look over
the different ads until you get hold
of the one where the inserted Safe
tip is located. Make list of these
daily tips and work them out on the
safe. The big picture Adventure
comes here Friday and We want the
safe open by then. Go to it-now
look for the clue near local mer-
chants ad-and good luck!

briefly the struggles of the men and
women of the cisy who are interested
In the Fairgrounds and told of how
they were helped out by the Commu-
nifty Service, and of how they had been
FOR the past three years going forward
in their work. The winter part of the
program being self-supporting by rea-
son of the sale of the season tickets
to adults and the summer part being
taken care of by the city, which has
given each year for the last three
Years $1,000 to the work. Mr.. Cyr told
interestingly of how learning to swim
when he was a young man saved his
life, and how he was unable to take
part in the games and swimming of
the boys when he was young and of
how now the service of which he is
the head is helping the boys and girls
of the city to learn to swim and learn
to play. How it is helping in the
Americanization of the aliens in the
tude which have been expressed to
him. He also told how the big men of
the country have taken up the matter
as they seen in the education of the
children the opportunity to bring
about a better understanding between
capital and labor and a lessening of
the economic strife which is frequent
in this country. He described how his
making a friend of small Italian boy
who was employed on one of the jobs
he was doing enabled him to stop the
strife which had been started between
rival gangs of Italians in the crew.
and from this drew the lesson of how
children could help to steady the in
dustrial situation. He closed by point
ing out some of the work being done
in other places and making an appeal
for carrying forwar the work in this
city.
