Sensible people have learned that
the hest diet is variety of whole

starvation diet will regulate it, but
will tend to aggravate rather than
remedy the ailment. If you are bill

have sick headache, cure yourself
with Baxter's Mandrake Bitters, and
then eat reasonably of wholesome

REAR DRIVE PASSES.
Last Of kennetec Logs Go Down the River,
Saturday. Earliest for Years.

The rear drive Of the Kennebec drive
passed the city, Saturday, the earliest

trouble in bringing the logs down ow-

in the places where the jams usually
formed. There has been a good pitch
of water all the spring and summer
and consequently no trouble has been
experienced from this source.
The rear passed Waterville three
weeks ago and would have been here 10
days ago had it not been for the pre-
vailing south winds which prevented
sorting the logs at the boom above the
dam. The logs are now all in the
