crime
Justice sometimes goes wrong. Men are often punished for
crimes they do not commit. And when we thoughtlessly
take purgatives and cathartics to relieve stagnant bowels,
we are committing a similar injustice.
When the system is unable to remove food waste at regu
lar intervals, it is the food waste, and not the system,
that needs correction.
Every other form of treatment either irritates or force*
the system. Nujol works on the waste matter instead ol
on the system. By this entirety new principle Nujol
will keep the poisonous waste moving out of the body.
Nujol prevents constipation by keeping the food waste soft, thus
helping Nature establish easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular
intervals — the healthiest habit in the world.
It is absolutely hacmless and pleasant to take — try it.

“A Day in Camp”
Original Production
City Hall, Wednesday, Mar. 24
The entertainment and dance to
be given by the local troop of Girl
Scouts Wednesday evening in City i
hall promises to be one of the sea- |
son's most unique and interesting,
attractions. The program prepared ;
is of exceptional m»-rit and the S"v- ’
eral numbers a"e each in themselves
especially pleasing and are sure to
meet with the sincere approval of
the audience. The entertainment is
jn the form of an original play en- {
"titled "A Day in Camp." Throughout
the two acts songs, solo dances,
wig-wag signalling, and an exhibi- ,
ti^n of first aid are introduced, add- i
ing much to the enchantment of the
play. Those who witnessed the en
tertainment given last year by the ■
Augusta troop of Girl Scouts were;
loud In their praise and commenda
tion of the work of the youthful ,
woodcrafters. This year, with the
knowledge that past experience has
given them, the Sco’uts are in a posi- |
lion to stage an exhibition far su- ,
perior to that of last season. This j
entertainment offers the people of '
Augusta and vicinity an opportunity >
to learn something of the nature of ]
the work the local Girl Scouts have |
been doing and the progress they i
have made.
Music for the play and dance will j
be furnished by Douglas’ orchestra.

1919 CHAMPS TRIM
CONY FIVE 44-25
IN ASSEMBLY HALL
Cony’s State championship basketball
team of 1919 trimmed the ’varsity outfit
in Assembly hall Monday evening by a
score of 41 to 25. The boys of 1919 dls-^
played great teamwork for an outfit
that has not played together for a year ,
and at Intervals they would show their
old-time snap and "pep,” bewildering i
the Ceny lads as much as Rumford was '
“at sea" last season in the final and j
decidin' game in Cit. hall, Lewiston.'
The high school lads fought gamely and j
hard but were up against a superior;
combination, men who knew the tricks
of the game and who were in It every
minute. The schoolboys, however, dem
onstrated that all they need is experi
ence eo make a winning combination.
One of their greatest faults is keeping
the leather too long, and another fault
is passing to a man who is already
covered. With the experience gained
this season they should round out into:
form and by next season develop so that!
they will be contenders for first place I
in the State. •
The game started a bit after • o'clock
owing to the train on which one of the
players arrived being late. When the
champs trotted on the floor they were'
greeted by a roar of cheers both from
the alumni and the students. A few
minutes later Cony came onto the sur
face and were greeted as heartily. Prom
the start of the game until Its end the
ball was kept moving all the time. At
the end of the first period the score was:

HEARING TODAY
Against Governor in
R. I. Test Case
Will Commence at 10 O’elook Thie
Tuesday Morning Before Chief
Justice Leslie C. Cornish at the
Courthouse in This City
Hearing in the action brought by
Representative Winfield Scott Reed
of Bangor against Governor Milliken
to restrain him from using the name
of the State of Maine and employing
counsel to contest the case of the
State of Rhode Island to test the
vabdity of the prohibition constitu
tional amendment, which was con
tinued from March 15, will be held
before Chief Justice Leslie C. Cor
nish at 10 o'clock this Tuesday morn
ing at the courthouse in this city.
James D. Rice and Myer W. Ep
stein of Bangor are the counsel for
the petitioner. .
The writ alleges that sovereignty
is the right to govern and in the
State of Maine it rests with the peo
ple; the Governor is the agent of the
people and he has no personal power,
only official, nor does he partake in
the sovereignty otherwise, x)r in other
capacity, than as a private citizen.
Further allegation is made in the
writ that the Governor of the State
of Maine has only those powers
which are specially given him by the
constitution aa necessarily inferable
from powers clearly granted and
those powers which are conferred are
to be executed in the manner and
under methods and limitations pre
scribed by the constitution of Maine,
and the statutes enacted in accord
ance therewith.
The plaintiff prays that Governor
Milliken be restrained and enjoined
from presenting to any department
of the government of Maine for pay
ment any bill or expense account
contracted by himself or others un
der his orders which may have been
incurred In opposing the suit of the
State of Rhode Island now pending
In the Supreme Court of the United
States.

joined the Rebekahs and went through
the chairs of the subordinate lodge and
the Canton. Mr. Gerrish has served as
quartermaster and lieutenant co'cnel of
the 2nd Maine Regiment, P. M.t and it
was because of his good record in these
offices that he was chosen to the com
mand of this regiment, which includes

and east to the Canadian line.
In the educational system of Maine
Mr. Gerrish stands among the leaders.
While teaching at Calais he was chosen
superintendent of the Caribou-Limestone

a system which is recognized as or.e of
the best in New England. Mr. Ger
rish’s office at Skowhegan is a mine of

cussing the benefits one derives from
membership in the l. O. O. F. ar.d its
