There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incura BILE.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and, therefore,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teasPoonful.

FREEPoRT ELECTRICS.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Freeport Is to be congratulated on the
stand taken in refusing to grant the right
Of way through the town insisted upon
by the Lewiston, Brunswick and Bath
Electric Railroad company.
1t IL the duty Of every city and town OF
which such privileges are sought to study
the wants of its people, and when valu-
able rights ore given away, to see that
they carry with them obligations for the
recipients which conform to the reason
able wants of the community. The town
is making Rratuity which ever route is
taken, and yet gets nothing by way Of
taxation, for the railroad Is net taxable
nor Ia Its stock or rolling property.
These are exempt by the statute Of the
state; therefore the people should see to 1t
that In giving away to corporation such
valuable franchise Of going through tho
town. of erecting poles and using the
highways and bridges built by the oiti-
zens OF the town, their wishes are In some
measure considered by the corporation
they teneiitsd.
Thus less than an additional mils Of
track In this instance would open up for
the town communication with it's harbor
and with Casco Bay. thing which Ia
much needed and growing in Importance
from year to year. There Is no special
call for trolley line on the upper road,
and this fact that the railroad company
desires the shortest possible route to Mer-
rymeeting Bay In order to rush cars
through the town at top speed should
offer no Inducements to our citizens to
sacrifice the hope Of having shore lire
sometime In the near future. Something
has appeared in the press regarding the
increased cost OF material which enters
into the construction OF electric roads,
giving this as reason for the company's
abandoning ths proposed extern sion; In
reply to which 1t CAL be said that quota
tons OF steel rails and other material
neces sary have not changed since last
October. with the single exception of wire
which 10 at present a trifie cheaper than
1t has been.
We can well afford to walt few years,
for once the upper road Is given for this
purpose, no hope need be held OF another
line ever being built by way Of the shore.
Further and more mature reflection upon
this matter viii but strengthen the con-
viction OF our people that to recsive any
substantial benefit from an electric road
In Freeport, 1t must he built by way of
the shore, where the public interests lie.
Better no road than by any ether route.
