SAVED Ely LIFE.

Octave Clair, Fairfield, Maine,. the well,
known lumberman, says: Last fall started
for Moosehead Lake. I was not feeling very
well, but hoped the disease would work otf;
but, instead, L kept growing worse every
day. [ could not sleep nights; my head
ached most of the time; was cOnstipated,
nervous. and what little coarse food ate
would distress rue, until got in such bad
shape that I could not eat nor do anything.
1 finally wrote home to my wife to send me
some Kind of medicine. In answer TO my
letter I received bottle of Groder's
Botanic Dyspepsia Syrup. l commenced
to nse it at once. To my great surprise,
after using two-tfirds of. bottle. my
stomach was able to digest any kind of food;
my bowels were regular, and could sleep
like child. | have not been troubled
since. Groder's. Syrup is the greatest
remedy Of this civilized world.

if it's made with Cottolene,
the new pure substitute for
lard. Cottolene is simply
pure cottonseed oil and
pure beef suet, two of the
healthiest foods known.
Properly combined they
are better than lard for all
kinds of shortening, and
everyone can eat, digest,
and enjoy food cooked with
it. Food that was indiges-
tible when cooked with
lard is easily digested when
cooked with Cottolene, and
many of the leading house
keepers of the land say
they can make nicer bread,
rolls, biscuit, cakes, cookies,
ginger bread, pies, patties,
tarts, griddle cakes, GRO
quettes with Cottolene than
with either lard OF butter.
Get it ofyour grocer and try
it. Beware of limitations.

THE PENOBSCOT CLEAR


BANGOR, Jan. l3.-The Commercial says
tor ighs: The men who have large inter-
ess in the ice business on the Penobscot
are not yet sure that they will not be forced
tude Of Name to secure an ice crop this
winter.
Today there is prsct c,lly no ice in the
river and it is open to full navigation as in
midsummer.
When the warm rain commenced las
evening" there were two or three inches of
ica the mlst of the d.-tsi ca between Bar
yer and Crosby's Nsrrows, 4 distance q
l-2 miles. At dffarent points where
he current OF the river changed
the channel showed no signs Of
freezing. An examination of the
fields revealed the fact that some of
them we're full Of sswdust and sh4viugs
wh ca hsd been thrown into the river a. up
liver mills AID when this morning davnet
sith continued warm weather the operators
decided that the cheapest lhing from them
to Go was TO break up the thin Fl elds, allow
them TO be carried down the river AID tr,
for q new freeze.
Ths steam tug Howell was therefore
ergsgei and she left Bucksport shortly
sfter noon, reaching the hsroor at 3 O'Clock
and experiencing no difficulty whssever in
sailing through .he ice.
l. is thought that the current is strong
enough to carry away all the drift before
4 cold wave comes. II it does not some
of the down river operators will be = little
cross. as they did not want their fields dis
turbed, it is said. Consiiersbls indig7s.
tion is manifested at the work Of the saw.
dust fends sbove Bangor and they are
prom.s I'D trouble unless they desist.
As it now spoesrs, the Boston steamers
will find no difficulty whsrever in reaching
port tomorrow and it is an open question
whether this winter is good for any ice OF
not,
