fast and Moosehead Lake R. K. are extreme
ly rough. Work on The annual report will
be begun as soon as the returns from all
the railroads which ara now coming in have
been received, and it viii be issued in De-
eember.
At the Office of the Secretary of State the
clerks are already busy receiving the returns
from the different cities and towns of votes
east at Tuesdays election. The returns are
coming in with unusual rapidity, and already
large proportion are received. There are
two sets of each, which are stamped upon
the envelope with the date of receipt, the
certified copy intended for public inspection
being opened at once, while the regular re-
turn awaits the action of the Governor and
Council.
At the office of the State superintendent of
schools, Mr.. Waisworth is sending out the
necessary blanks for the returns of such free
high schools as have full term, and which,
under the present law, ean receive their al
lotment of State aid under the free high
school act, without waiting for the end OF
the school year, which is in June. Former
~ all schools received their aid in June, and
where fall term was held, were obliged to
wait some seven months for the amount due
them. Under the present law the money il

commodation TO small towns, providing
means of early settlement of school bills
The maximum amount which can be paiC
to any one school is $3.50; the rule being IL
pay one half the sum expended for salarie
aud board of teachers, providing that amour
does not exceed $500. Last year out of l6i
cities and towns who drew the high schoo
aid 20 drew the full amount of $3.50. Thi
| year, the number receiving aid will probably
reach l15. Ii seems that where a school re-
ceives this aid from the State, scholars liv

charged the exact cost per pupil of the regu

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop at first slow ly
and are showuby slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravsges they extend TO the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca.
tsrrh. Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with promptuess
allowing a cold to go without attention lie
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschee's German SyInp. II will

Two Hundred Dollars In Gold.

We are authorized by advice received
from |. 5. johnson and Co., Boston, to
say that they have for three years offered
poultry raisers, premiums payable in gold
coin, for the best result obtained from using
Sheridan's Powder to make hens lay. Their
object has been to Salty themselves beyond
the shadow of doubt, that the claim made
by them that Nothing on earth will make
hens lay like Sheridans Powder'was positiv-
ely true. The hundreds of testimonials sent
them from people who have used the Powder
prove the statement; SO that it seems folly
to again offer premiums; but so many per-
sons, especially women who kept few hens,
have made such good showing in former trials
and been beaten by some one else by a slight
fraction in average, that in justice they GU ght
TO have another trial. johnson and Co..
have devised plan this year, to overcome
that trouble in a measure. by offering twice
as much cash and six times as many Gold Coin
Premiums rs last year. The larger premium
is $50 90. 1t is well worth trying for. If
you miss that there are twenty three more
chances for some other premium. But sup
posing a competitor did not get any premiums
they would still have the satisfaction of get
ting lot of eggs to sell at good round
price. The retail price for eggs in Boston and
New York last year reached as as high as 80
to 60 cents per dozen. 1t pays to use
Sheridsn's Powder when eggs sell for ever
10 cents. One of competitors last year
wrote as follows: | am well paid in eggs
without 4 premium. | will cheerfully recon-
mend Sheridan's Condition Powder to Poultry
raisers generally for egg production, and all
diseases of hens. | can now say confidently
that it will beat anything | have ever tried
to make hens lay. was surprised at the end
of the eight weeks trial" He was evidently
Satisfied and well he might have been; for
during eight weeks he got from 80 hens,
1920 eggs which at the average of prices
above would amount to S65.0S.
Any person can compete johnson { Co will
send full particulars free to anyone, whether
they they order Powder or not. For so cents in
stan ps, |. S. Johnson & Co, % Custom
House Street, Boston, Mass, will send to
any 7. o. address two % cent packs, five
