Uncle Sam’s Attitude.
President Wilson on Tuesday

blow on the German peace fake

United States could not think of
talking armistice, until the Huns had
left all Invaded territory'- Some
thing of a setback for the Germans
who expected us to swallow the slick
looking peace bait, wasn't It?
The Piealdent then proceeded to

A "Touching" Affair
At the instigation of certain Dem#
oerats the House has made'a present
of $50u to a messenger who carries
documents shout the House Office
Building. This is not a contribution

faithful employer, hut a gift from the
public funds to a man already In re
ceipt of a regular annual salary.
Thrrr is no rlalm that he is more
• (th lent than the hundreds of thou
sands of other government employees.
Hts good fortune is due simply to the
fact that he has worked under the
eyes of those who hold the Federal
purse strings. "This man. as I per
sonally know." said a Democrat from
Illinois, "works long hours—more
than eight hours a day." "He is one
of the most faithful men in the House
Offii e Building." testified a fellow
partisan from Nebraska. The hearts

touched and the money was donated.

with a vtew, according to appear
ances and signs, of raising their
voice* from a whisper to full round
tones of willingness to throw them
selves on the mercy of the court.
And what mercy shall be accorded
them—barbarous. merciless, ruthless
and lit comrades of the kultured
Run' Can you think of any sign but
the old “thumbs down" of the Ro
mans, when they had decided that
the gladiator was no longer fit to
fight' If you ran—and we know you
cannot—read what the Boston Tran
script has to say upon that very sub
ject:
NO SOFTNE88 TOWARD THE
TURKS
The Turk*, we arc told by an au
thority that has lately been strangely
friendly to them, “realise that they
were in on the wrong side.’ We may
hope that they will soon realize it
ptill more Intensely, with Damascus
K
and Beirut in the bands of the Brit
ish and French, and Aleppo at least
directly menaced, and a Greek, Brit
ish and Bulgarian army ready to ad
vance through Adrianople upon Con
stantinople. We Americans have not
helped the allies against the Turks.
On the other hand, we have rather
helped the Turks. We have stood by
and have seen them massacre the
Armenians, refusing to declare war
on them or to help the Armenians.
Only with the utmost effrontery could
we now offer our advice or our in
fluence in behalf of a patched-jp
peace with them.
The. Turks, like the Bulgarian*
have had their day in court. They
were offered their opportunity. They
chose to go against civilised Europe.
They struck their side-blow, intended
to be fatal, against civilization and
Christianity in the East. The decis
ion is now going against them. The
hand of the law is upon them—and
they and their friends are coming
around and raising the plea of weak
ness, and mere human error, in their
behalf!
Let us hope that there will be no
tenderness for these unspeakable
barbarians, who have done all they
could to turn the fairest corner of
Europe into a desert, who have de
graded its populations, who have
cursed the world with their mere tol
erated presence mpre than Attila or
Saladin cursed it with their swords,
who have no politics except bribery.,
no argument except massacre, no
oriflamme except ignorance, no am
bition except tyranny. Beaten again
and again by the arms of European
nations, the Turks have been saved
each time by the weakness and blind
ness of other European nations. Eng
land and France saved them in 1S.‘S,
England and Germany in 1878. and all
western Europe again in 1912. They
have remained recalcitrant, ingrate.?
Etill, butchers still—Turks still. The
days of softness toward them should
be over now. They have richly merit
ed the fate of total expulsion from
Europe, from Mesopotamia, from
I’alesiine, from Armenia, from the
Or^ek coast of Anatolia. Let thpm
hucdle together, if they can, on the
Phrygian and Karamanian plateaus

Sunday Observance
Aroostook county is enjoying pretty
general observance of the Sunday
laws and has profitted thereby. The
•thoroughness of the enforcement may
l>e imagined from the fact that the
sheriff of that county thought it nec
essary to inform the people that, ow
ing to the weather conditions that
had threatened the success of the
crops, no one would be facing a
charge in court if lie went out on a
Sunday to do a little harvesting. His
official notice said:
“Owing to the long and rainy sea
son just passed, and the lateness of
the season, I would say if any farmer
should consider it necessary to secure
his crop from waste or loss he would
be justified under the present law in
gathering his harvest on the Sabbath
Day. This is a matter which must be
left to the individual conscience but
wherever farmers feel that work on
the Lord's Day is required for the
conservation of food they may rest
assured that they in no way lay
themselves liable.”

The answer of Mayor Drake of
! Bath regarding the time the closing
order will be kept in effect, as re
ported by the Bath Times, seems to
l>e about the right thing for all sec
tions of the State. It follows: •
To those who are asking how long
the closing rule will be in effect in
Bath, Mayor Drake makes good an
swer: "Just as long as the epidemic
continues and we won't take it off
until wc know the last vestige of
danger is passed." That ought to be
good enough for most of us.
The Democrats stated that "poli
tics were adjourned until after the
war." The Portland Oregonian on
Sept. 17 announced that the Demo
cratic National Committee was solic
iting Congressional campaign funds
from both Republicans and Demo
crats who arc office- or stockholders
in shipbuilding companies engaged in
; building ships for the government
, and depending upon future contracts
from the same source. If this has
been done It is reprehensible in the
highest degree. If it has been done
; in Oregon it has doubtless been done
In all other sections where govern
ment contracts arc being filled. Di
rect and personal solicitation of par
| tlsan contributions from a concern
| having a war contract is the grossest
kind of utilization of the war for par
' tisan political purposes.
Great Scott! The Boston Globe
ran an item about our Uncle Eben
Leighton, aged 102 years, of Mt. Ver
non, Me., and made him a resident of
Mt. Vernon, Mo. It now has a par- !
agraph about our pet grey squirrel,
that recently crossed the river on the
wire from Randolph to Farmingdale,
and made the little chap do the stunt
across the Sandy river from Ran
dolph to Farmington. Te Gods!
That's the way to talk to the Huns:
For every place you now destroy on
leaving the territory you illegally
hold, we will wipe out two from Ger
man soil. And it will be no idle threat,
either, for every one of the 2.000,000
Americans now in France have prom
ised the home people souvenirs from
Berlin.
As usual, word comes from Maine
that there are more deer in the woods
now than at any time in the last 10
of 15 years. The number of moose 1n
the Maine woods must have been in
creasing. too, but the law on moose
will not be oft until next year.—Bos

SUFFERED FOR THIRTEEN YEARS
CURED BY FLAXOLYN -
Lif* seems different to Mrs. O. J.
Vermette, R. P. D. 1, Sabattus Road,
Lewiston, Me.
Who can picture the relief she
must now experience. For 13 years,
as she herself■ says, she was in a ter
rible condition. Her bowels, stom
ach, kidneys and liver troubled her
constantly.
"I could not think of going to bed,”
she says, “without taking a cathartic
of some kind. With me, goin^ to bed
did Dot mean going to sleep. I
would toss and turn, leave the bed
and return to it. 1 never felt rested
when I got up in the morning. I
suffered a complete nervous break
down, which culminated in the last
three years in spells of nervous pros
tration. Needless to say, my appe
titie was terrible. Whatever 1 ate
distressed me; cereals were my only
food. Disry spells and headaches
were my constant lot. The pains of
indigestion then developed. Things
get so tad that I was advised to live
in the country, so my husband sold
his grovery business which he had
been conducting for 18 years in Lew
iston and we moved to our present
address.
I was absolutely hopeless when I j
started taking FLAXOLYN and to
ray great joy I felt an improvement
from the very start. Now' how dif
ferent things are. For the first time
in years I konw what It is to pet a ;

eat food is now my pleasure. My

headaches and dizzy spells have
gone, and my nerves are better. In
deed I feel as if I had taken a new
lease on life. FLAXOLYN^pertainly
has done wonders for me.
So grateful are we, that my hus- i
band and I have both become "Flaxo- ■
lyn Boosters.'*

Ijist Sunday was the first in the
history of the town of Norway in
which no public religious services!
were held, all the churches being
closed on account of the influenza.
Dr. A. S. Beckwith of London, O.,
who has been aiding Bath physicians
in their rush work caused by the
Spanish influenza, says the Times,
read the appeal for physicians a week
or so ago at his home in Ohio and
the next day was on his way to Bos
ton to offer his services, which were
accepted gladly and the doctor was j
sent to Maine. Saturday he went j
from Bath to Lisbon Falls to aid the
doctors there. His services here
were highly appreciated. The physi
cian left a good practice at home for
the purpose of doing his duty in the
epidemic.

CRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother’s old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- i
ed, brings back the natural color and j
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way j
to get this mixture was to make it at j
home, which is mussy and trouble- i
some. Nowadays, by asking at any !
drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound," you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe, I
improved by the addition of other in- j
gredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray: Try it: No one '
can possibly tell that you darken 1
your hair, as it does it so naturally j
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or !
soft brush with it and draw this j
through your hair, taking one small j
strand at a time; by morning the j
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. /

M COUNTRY'S SERVICE
A letter received by Mra. Laura
Cain of Augusta from her eon, Cor
poral Kenneth C. Jarvis:
Dear Mother and the rest: I «m
still waiting to hear from you as
nothing would be better than a let
ter from home with all the news in
it. When you write send me all the
latest news as we don’t get any war
^ews over here. And for goodness
sake send me some tobacco as we
don't get enough to have a decent
smoke after we eat. I have had one
;ack of Bull Durham in three weeks
but I am still alive and well and
ready to fight for my home and
country. But when we have to go
without our smoking which is the
only luxury we have it is pretty
tough. Today is Sunday but it is a
pretty busy day for us as this morn
ing we had to walk two miles to take
a bath and wash our clothes. This
afternoon we have to stand muster
and sign the pay roll, and draw one
month of our back pay. It will be
the first money I have had since I
joined. But it won’t do any good as
we can't buy anything here except
wine and I wouldn't buy that as I
came over here to fight and not to
drink. And we sure are able to
light. We are all healthy, hard and
strong and we have had enough drill
ing so we know how to fight. I can
take a corn beef can, set it two hun
dred yards away and plunk it three
out of four shots so you can see how
much of a chance a Hun has when he
shows himself. I have seen several
air fights and three or four Hun ma
chines brought down. And every
night we go to sleep by the music of
the big guns and the roaring of the
air machines. It is a great life and
when I get home T will have some
stories to tell you. And I wouldn’t
bo surprised if we were home before
long as the Hun is about ready to
ijiiit. They claim that the Austrians
are laying down their arms in great
number and that on some parts of
the front the Huns are refusing to
fight. I hope it is true hut we don’t
know only what wc hear from re
turning French and Italian soldiers.
Well, the Fourth of July is only a
few days off and I will have all the
fireworks I want. Say, i would like
to set down to a nice big green din
ner now right out of the garden, and
when I get home I am going to hang
around the ice box all the time, as I
am in condition now to eat every
thing in sight. Well, I will close now
with love to nil and kisses for the
kids. Your loving son,
KEN.

FOR THE PAINS !
OF RHEUMATISM:
--
New Hampshire Woman Telia How
Recovery Followed Building Up
Her Blood
Kvery rheumatic sufferer knows
that pain is one characteristic symp
tom of rheumatism. Whatever theo
ry may be held regarding the cause
of the disease it is conceded that a
remedy that will relieve the pain can
bo regarded as successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. Less con
spicuous than pain but more dan
gerous is the thinning of the blood
that almost invariably occurs In
rheumatism. In no febrile disease is
this symptom more marked.
A remedy that not only relieves and
banishes the pain but that also builds
up the blood is an ideal one for rheu
matism because it rebuilds and re
pairs the ravages of the disease.
Such a recovery is of a permanent
nature. As long as the blood is thin
and filled with impurities it is very
difficult if not actually Impossible to
make any gain that will not be fol
lowed by a corresponding relapse.
Mrs. Harry Adams of No. 51 West
Terrace street, Claremont. N. H„ as
cribes her recovery from rheumatism
to Ur. Williams' Pink Pills. She says
“Many years ago I suffered an attack
of rheumatic fever and have had
rheumatism and stomach trouble ever
since.
"1 was in terrible shape and could
not dress myself or do any work. My
hands were swollen so badly that I
could not use them at all. My stom
ach also was disordered and any
thing l ate distressed me.
“The medicine I took gave me but
temporary relief and at one time I
thought recovery Impossible. I read
in a paper about Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills and gave them a trial. The re
sult at the end of one week was won
derful and I kept on until I had taken
four boxes. By that time the pain
had entirely left me and my food no
longer caused me discomfort.
“Ur. Williams’ Pink Pills certainly
are a wonderful remedy and I hearti
ly recommend the'm to any one suf
fering from rheumatism, or stomach
trouble.”
The purpose of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They
do this thing and they do it well.
They are for this reason an invalua
ble remedy in diseases arising from
bad or deficient blood, as rheumatism,
neuralgia, after-effects of the grip
and fevers The pills are guaranteed
to be free from opiates or any harm
ful drug and cannot Injure the most
delicate system.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent by mall, \
postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents
per box; six boxes. $2.50. by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady,

Blood.” will be mailed free to any ad
dress upon request-—Adv.

I'm able to make myself understood
by using my French vocabulary, my
bands and my eyes. No Frenchman
gesticulates more than the Americans
who attempt to handle the language
of this land.
We are now quartered in billets
which means that we are at home in
any empty house, barn or shed
available. This company has the
good fortune to be billeted in a
farmer’s grain storehouse situated at
the end of the town. Others are not
so fortunate and occupy small sheds
adjacent to houses that are still oc
cupied by the civilian population.
We have the freedom of the town
and takq jt too, for every moment
brings pleasure. There are about
15,000 people in St. Armand, I be
lieve, and never have I. met a more
congenial people. As I said before
there is no telling what the future
may have in store for us. We may
leave any moment or we may re
main for months. In either case I
have no fear of being in other than
a happy frame of mind for things are
going well with us. Change of
water and change of climate make
no difference; I'm immune so long
as the old supply team keeps up with
the eats.
I shall be glad when T get a letter
from you, but realize that we can’t
count on quick delivery. This would
be the best kind of a time if the war
wasn’t in the background. May be
in the foreground sometime and then
wo may begin to worry.
I follow the war news in the
French papers. Every time 1 write
I have a change to make in my ad
dress. See latest edition below. All
is well with me. I.ove to all,
STAN.

Three days ago, my arm was simply

But Joe had a jar of Rcsinol in his kit.
I used a little and the itching stopped

redness was gone and a few more
applications finished it up.
