DOESN'T RESPECT OLD AGE.

It's shameful when youth fails to
show proper respect for old age, but
just the contrary in the case of d..
Kings New Life Pills. They cut
off maladies, no matter how severe
and irrespective of old age. Dys-
pepsia, J~aundice, Fever, Constipa-
ton all yield to this perfect Pill;

the Commission is free to recon-
mend whatever terms it sees fit by
which to secure permanent peace,
and the coal companies could not
lightly reject a recommendation that
they should make yearly agreements
with the workmen representing all
their employees-union and non
union. Of course such agreements
would be practically with the miners
union so long as that body main
tanned its ascendency among the
miners, but the companies could at
all times retain the r that
they we're dealing with their own
employees and not an alien organize
ton. The public will look with great
interest for the reply of the opera
tors. It will have to be skillfully
drawn as well as intrinsically strong
to counterfeit the impression made
on the public by the statement of
Mr.. Mitchell.-New York Outlook.

THE N E
The Grievances of Strikers as Set Forth
by President Mitchell.

by President Mitchell.
Mr.. MitcheIPs statement of the
demands of the anthracite mine
workers, made to the Strike Commits
sion last week, was so compact a
document that it was reprinted in
full by the more important daily
papers all over the country. In terse-
ness, in ~clearness, and in temper it
was a model of composition, and it
puts the miners case so that it will
be understood not only by the Com
mission, but by the people at large.
The demands made by the miners at
their last Convention, says Mr..
Mitchell, were as follows: Cd An in
crease of twenty per cent in wages
for the men employed on contract or
piece-work; 90 a decrease of twenty
per cent in the hours of men en-
ployed by the day; go the weighing
of coal for the miners by the "1ong
ton" of commerce, 2,24O pounds, in
stead of the varying standards now
employed; az the regulation of
hours, wages and labor conditions
by agreements between the United
Mine Workers and the anthracite
coal companies. The demand for an
increase of one-ffth in wages is
based chiefly upon the statement that
the present yearly wages of anthra-
cite mine workers are lower than
those of other workmen of similar
skill undergoing similar hardships,
and notably lower than the wages
paid for kindred work in the soft
coal fields of the West. The demand
for the eight-hour day is based in
part upon the same reasoning, and in
part upon the better quality of work,
the better health, and the better in
tellectual and social conditions which
the short-hour day brings with it.
The demand that coal shall be paid
for, whenever practicable" at its
actual weight is based upon the
statement that the small sizes of
coal-pea, buckwheat, etc.-a1e no
longer worthless to the operators,
and that the laborers ought no longer
to mine a ton of excessive weight
on the ground that the operator can
not sell a large portion of the miners
product. The demand that labor con-
ditions in the anthracite mines, as
now in the bituminous mines, shall
be regulated by agreements between
the whole body of workers and the
whole body of employers, is urged
upon the ground that the workmen
have a right to make such collective
bargains, that their organizations
are helpful to their members in every
relation, and that only through such
collective agreements between en-
ployers and employed can discipline
in the ranks of labor be maintained
and harmony preserved. The coal
companies, by the terms of their
agreement with the President, are
free to reject a recommendation on
the part of the Commission that such

Statesman and Gambler.

Charles james Fox. the English
statesman, was even more notorious IN
the gaming world than he was famous
In the world Of politics. He had squan-
dered S25O,000 before coming Of age.
He became one Of the most protiigate
gamesters Of the vicious days in which
he lived. Some Of his finest displays in
debate were sandwiched between eX-
element such az would unnerve most
men who had no serious business on
hand. Walpole has given glimpse Of
a typical passage in this extraordinary
mans life He had to take part In the
discussion on the thlrty-nine articles in
parliament on a certain Thursday. He
had sat up playing hazard from Tues
day evening until o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon. An hour before he had
recovered $4,000 that he had lost and
by dinner time, which was o'clock,
ended losing $4,000. On Thursday he
spoke in the debate, went to dinner ut
past II at night; thence to a club.
where he drank till the next morn
Ing; thence to a gambling house, where
he won $4,000, and between and 4
in the afternoon he set out Oh jour
ney to Newmarket.

Icppthcnfnr n Fees Tongue,

Man is often blamed for driving to
extinction many sorts Of beautiful
creatures, but the account Is far more
than balanced by the amount Of good
he has done for those animals which
proved useful and could be tanned.
Take the case Of the bee. The bee
lives by Its tongue, with which organ
it Is able to extract the honey from
flowers. Now, n bees tongue is natu-
rally about twenty-ffth Of an inch
long. Clever beekeepers. by keeping only
those bees with naturally long tongues.
have succeeded in frightening the
tongues of Il number Of bee colonies
to the extent Of another hundredth of
an inch. 1t does not sound much, but
It enables those insects to do a quar-
ter as much work again In the same
time.
Man has done more than this for
bees. He has given them ready made
homes. where they are safe from wasps
and other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large guam
titles Of wax for outside walls, and
food during fowerless weather.

EAST SUMNER.

Election passed off very quietly. The
polling place was at the Congregational
vestry at East Sumner. The vote was
light as only 102 ballots were thrown.
However, the country is safe just the
same.
The excursion to the lakes on We'd
nesday was quite well patronized as
about $50 made the trip. Trains now
run to Rangeley outlet at Oquossoc
strtion. The hotels and camps will be
well filled again when the hunting sea-
son opens. The scenery along the route
is wild and picturesque and the traveller
is well repaid by its attractions. Travel
is still quite heavy over the line.
Rev P. Z. Miller of Cumberland Gen.
tire was in town on Wednesday.
Mrs. S. Robinson visited friends at
West Sumner last week.
At this date it is a query whether it
will pay to start up the corn shops. The
outlook is indeed dubious. A hard sea-
son for packers as well as for farmers.

HON. OLIVER ALLEN.

Hon. Oliver Allen died in East Hiram,
Sept. 4th of heart disease and kidney
disease after long and distressing ILL
ness. He was born in Wells, Maine,
Avg. Sd, 1924, and came with his
parents, Hosea and Dorcas Blaisdell
Allen, in 1925, to the farm where he has
ever since resided. He was a most dill
gent, thrifty, and successful farmer,
also a genial, courteous, and obliging
neighbor and his domestic life was a
model of affection, devotion, and kind
ness. He was educated in the common
schools and Parsonsfield Seminary, and
his sound judgment, sterling integrity,
and far-seeing sagacity made him a safe
counselor and a valuable citizen. He
was a strong temperance man and a
loyal Republican. He served thirteen
wears as selectman, record not equalled
by any other person in Hiram. He also
served one term as representative to the
legislature. He leaves widow, two
sons, two daughters, and two brothers.
His funeral was attended at his resi-
dence on Sunday by Rev. Charles F.
Sargent of Denmark, who spoke in fit
ting terms of his long, and useful life
and his pure, Christian character. 1t
will be remembered that some two years
ago, his golden wedding was observed
by Mt. Cutler Grange, No. l52, of which
he had been a charter member some
twenty-seven years. The members of
the grange attended his funeral in a
body and followed their venerable and
beloved brother to his well-earned rest.

The Bark Of n Dog.

Strangely enough. barking, which

worth observing that the habit can be

WHERE PAIN MOST HURTS.
Extreme Sensitiveness of the Fift
and Dental Nerves.

Extreme Sensitiveness of the Ftftn
and Dental Nerves.
Which part of the human body is
the most sensitive to pain?
A sharp definition must be Drawn
here between irritation and pain. lrra-
tation is not pain, but only frequent
cause of 1t. Thus, crumb lodged In
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
weed violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often results In actual
pain. So, too, a fly or speck Of dust In
the eye sets up violent irritation ana
Inflammation, followed by acute pain.
OF the surface of the body, the hnger
tips and the end of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would be, while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as q
rule, save as regards the surface In
fury. OF pains not caused by external
injuries, neuralgia of the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin OF the
head and face, is the most intense. II
has frequently driven people mad for
the time being, and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
In desperate attempts to relieve II. Inc
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve In tooth drawing also causes
agony so intense that it has been stated
that no human being could endure II
for more than two seconds at "a time
