For the Piazza.

kinds of furniture. js also used for paint
ing piazza chairs; So that if yours have
grown shabby and heed repainting. cover
one or two with IA coat Of enamel paint
in forest green. which is dark green
with Il blush cast. These chairs look
well with others Of white or scarlet.
Pjazzas are sometimes furnished with a
certain color scheme. One piazza that
il very pretty now. but will probably not
look SO well by midsummer, has white
hammock. green and white piazza chairs.
cushions covered with pale green linen
and dark-green corduroy. and mating
rug of pale sage color. The spreads on
the little tables are of green denims,
and the plants are in white jardinieres.
The other plants massed in the corners
and out-of-the-way places are scarlet
geraniums in green jardinieres. A piaz-
III with tropical color is nearly all in
orange and black. Scarlet and white is
often an effective color scheme for the
piazza of a country house. When med
ley of colors is used, the East India
cottons are used for the table covers and
| some of the pillows. Small white and
| colored hamlnocks for children are
shown, the most convenient being at
tached to Il stout standard. so that the
hammock may be swung very low and
placed anywhere on piazza or under
trees without other support.

To the Farmers Of Waldo Co:

The time is near at hand when the new
crop of hay will be ready for market, and it
is essentially necessary that the same should
be pressed in such manner as to command
the highest market price. This can best be
accomplished by using a Dedrick Column
bian Press, three of which are now ready to
start in the vicinity of Belfast Hay put up
by these presses is sought for and acknowl-
edged by all dealers to bring higher prices
than the same quality of hay put up by other
presses. From twelve to thirteen tons of
Dedrick pressed hay can be loaded in a
common box car at a saving in freight of So
per cent. to the shippers and 20 per cent.
more hay can be pressed in a given time
than with the old style presses.
These presses are being introduced and
placed within the reach of the farmers at
considerable expense by the owners and we
ask the farmers of Belfast and vicinity to
cooperate with us in this matter and make
the standard of Waldo county hay equal in
preparation to that of any section of the
country from which hay is shipped.
The Dedrick presses will be managed by
Freeman Ellis & Sons, South Brooks; Her.
bert Hamlin, South Brooks, and Charles
Barnes of Waldo. Communications to any
of the above parties will receive prompt at
tention.

given for a disease Is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such IL the
case, however, with the usual treat

Notwithstanding the great progress
made in many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know

the form of powder, pill or liquid, the
doctors prescription is always the

Too much cannot be said of the harm
full anddisastrous effectso of these drugs.
The doctors are unable to rid the sys-

efforts toward covering up the symp-

mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry it up in the system, but 1t
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital

sp1otches are but indications of worse
results to follow. No oon has the
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that supp1eness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
