wholesome fear OF appendicitis that they
DO not eat grapes, tomatoes. nys or
fruits containing little seeds because of

appendix and cause appendicitis

pendicitis, seven in ten instances, is
due to other things than seeds. Little

in the appendix and produce appendi-

OF it. In addition, a great MANY cases
are cansed by something entircly out

the inflammation.

SRm Fodgkins' Will.

''Sa1n Hodgklns, says the Lewiston
Journal. ''was in his day and genera
ton q much respected citizen Of Han
cock, and, like his son Dudley. better
known as Uncle Dudley, was well
known all over the eastern portion of
the county. An amusing story is told
by some Of his old acquaintance to an
eastern Maine paper of how he once
made his will. It happened to be done
at time when the old man was in one
of his happiest and most generous
moods, and. tealizing no doubt the I'M
certainty Of human life, concluded that
he would btqueath to his seven sons
Dudley, Z:chariSh, Moses, Sam, Shem,
Gee and E]liot-his worldly goods and
possessions.
HE was very anxious that the will
should be legal, and was careful lest
any of his children might be left I'M
mentioned in some way. So the old
man drew up the instrument, in part
like this: Half to bud. half to lack
and all the rest to Moses. Shem is
blind, Sam is poor. Gee has moved to
the Falls Sullivan Falls) and Elliot is
the baby. AS the will was never pro-
bated it answered the purpose just as
well as any.

The Alexandria Post saws
that Quay is no more a hood
Ter than Bryan or Teller.
The linking of Quay with
Bryan or Teller is an insult
to the latter. Theleadine re-
publican papers of this county
admit that Quay is a disgrace
to his party. The great state
of Pennsylvania is so
thoroughly corporation rid
den and the republican party
in that state is so rotten that
Quay is a fit representative,
but it is time that the. Key
stone state should be rid of
it's disgrace. The Post con-
dones Quay's record because
he is a republican, evidently
on the theory that a republic
can may do anything and still
be of the salt of the earth.

MOOrhedd News: We do
not know what motives in
ffuenced Gov. Lind in his de-
cision to retain Warden VOL
fer; but we are fully satisfied
that the charges made during
the campaign are substan-
TALLY true and that their
truth is proven indirectly at
least by the report of Warden
Wo1fer, recently published.
Therein it is shown that he,
with the approval of the board
of prison managers, con-
tracted for the sale of the an
nual output of the Irvine fac
tory to dealers at 6H cents
per pound, with the excep-
ton of 100000 pounds the
total output being 5000, 900
pounds. That the 100000
pounds was reserved for di-
rect sale to farmers, the A.
100000 pounds sold on time
to dealers for resale to farm
ers. That when the harvest
came on and the price had
been put up by the trust
formed by the dealers, the
direct orders Of farmers soon
exhausted the stock reserved
for them, and their orders had
to be refused and their re-
mittances returned Here is
direct, official proof and a
plea OF guilty to the charges.
The action of Warden VOL
fer, taken in the first months
OF the year, created the ideal
conditions" necessary for
forming a trust. It placed
the product Of the. Irvine plant
into the hands of the dealers,
