Belfast journal; "rhe way to adver-
tise town or city is to- build up the
local press" says writer In the Tacoma
Daily Ledger. "The world today meas
ures the status and enterprise OF every
city and town by the appearance of its
newspapers. The columns of the prin-
cipal paper In any city are supposed to
reflect the business and enterprise of the
place as unerringly as the mirror reflects
the human face. The value, therefore,
of having every line of business and
every enterprise represented in the prin-
cipal paper is readily apparent. The
Importance of building up your home
paper so that it may show up as we'll as
any paper In your State or within the
sphere of Its influence Is equally plain"

The rising sun had scarcely kissed
the snow capped hills that surround our
peaceful city last Saturday morning
when an awful tragedy occurred on one
of the most public thoroughfares The
whiplike crack of rifle sounded on the
clear morning air, and leaden messen-
ger of death crashed through the brain
of human being. summoning his soul
to the Judgment bar of God without a
moments warning and with all his sins
full blown and ''ripened on the tree :
The fatal bullet had been sent upon its
deadly mission by hand that few
hours before clasped his victims hand
in friendship. One now lies in the cold
mbrace of death and occupies mound
in the silent city on the hill; the other
languishes in the county Jail, alone
with his conscience and his deed as he
awaits the outcome of the trial for muir
der that must surely follow. -Lonacon-

A Boon to Horse Breeders F.!
TR0TW00D
by Messenger Wilkes, 2. 23


Will make short season at farm of his
owner, miles above Skowhegan village
out Madison Ave. on Joseph Wyman
farm.
TROTWOOD is an ideal road horse of
high action and fine finish, standing 10
hands and weighing over 1850 lbs, dark
bay color, with good turn of speed.
TROTWOOD has demonstrated his
string qualities both in the show ring and
in his produce which are his best adver-
tisement. showing that he transmits his
good qualities to his offspring in remark
able degree. Out of tour seasons in the
stud he has produced the bay color in
every case. From mares of all color and
breading you can see the Trotwood styles
AMI action.
Breeders can spend little time in no
better way than in investigating the breed
ing and produce of the stallion you wish to
palronize, for in these times you can not
afford to spend time or money on expert
ments or uncertainties.
TROTWOOD will serve a limited
number of approved mares at $40 100 to
warrant mare in foal, payable when mare
proves in foa. 2If

Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it..
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatistied feeling as if it
must be at once repeated, or if the urine
has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, Inflammation, causing stop
page, and sometimesrepuiring the draw
ing of the urine with instruments, or
may run into Bright's Disease, the most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is a positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
worldwide and it is so easy to get at
any drug store that no one need suffer
any length of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Yale
Expositor and write to DIR. Kilmer q
Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a sample
bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail.
