THE STARVATION PLAN
of Treating Dyspepsia and stomach
Troubles is Useless and Unscien-

The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but even now a
course of dieting is generally the first
thing recommended for a case of indi-
oestion or any stomach trouble.

Marconi is being improved upon by
the United States Army's signal serv-

some of the army's experts succeeded
in transmitting wireless telephone
messages over a distance of two city
blocks, or about $50 feet. The words
were not sent by Morse code, but by
the ordinary speaking voice. and they
were heard distinctly at the receiving
end of the circuit. The system en-
ployed is said to be much like that of
wireless telegraphy.

Suit is to be brought IN the Court of
Claims in behalf of Cuban merchants
for the recovery of all duties, collected
on goods shipped to or received from
the United States during the term of the
American occupation of that island. If
the move is successful the United States
probably will be compelled to pay out
something like $20,000,000.
Sec. Shaw has made arrangements to
release about 50, 600, 600 of the treasury
holdings. He has had list prepared
of those national banks throughout the
country which held free or unpledged
bonds at the date of their last report
and has made inquiries for others.
After making allowances for changed
conditions since last reports he expects
this will release at least 4,00c, 900. He
has sent notice to all such that if they
will send these bonds to the treasurer of
of the United States in sums of $50, 900
or more, they will be designated as
temporary repositories, and the face
value of the bonds will be deposited
with them to the credit of the treasurer
of the United States He also has de.
cided to anticipate the October interest
amounting to about 81 200, 900 and with
this in view orders have been issued to
the various sub treasures to cash such
coupons as may be presented to them
for payment and the treasurer of the
United States has been instructed to
mail checks for interest on registered
bonds. All this was decided upon some
days ago and letters and kilograms pre-
pared for today.
The President has removed William
Vaughan, United States district attorney
for the Northern district of Alabama,
for neglect of duty. The President has
appointed John P. Debolt judge at Hon.

signed. Mr. Debolt is prominent men,

The appointment of Representative
George W. Ray to be United States dis
trict judge for the northern district of
New York was announced today. 1t
was not expected, as the place was be-
lieved more likely to go to Atty. Gen.
Davies of New York or to Representa-
tive Sherman.

Hospital Accommodations.

For some yeas past Skowhegan ply
sicians have felt the need of hospital
accommodations for this section of the
State, and the proposition of establish
ing hospital for this town, other Som
erset towns and this part of Maine, has
been discussed among our medical men
and others.
1t will be source of qualification to
those who have felt this need in this Sec
ton Of the State to learn that Skowhe-
gan is to have such an institution in the
near future. The building on the south
side OF Elm street on the bank of the
river, formerly owned and used by DR..
5. F. Conant as a sanitarium, has been
purchased by our enterprising physician,
DR.. John Z. Wadsworth, and will be
thoroughly renovated and fitted up for
hospital purposes.
DR.. Wadsworth has already begun the
work of preparation of the building for
his own Office and for hos pital work. He
will occupy the easterly end of the
building and is changing the arrange
ment Of rooms to suit his convenience as
a suite of offices. This will occupy some
little time and DR.. Wadsworth will oc.
cupy his rooms in Ordway building in
the mean time.
The floor beneath on the river bank
will be used as formerly for dining
room and kitchen. The remainder of
the building will be given over to the
accommodation of patients. The best OF
trained nurses will be employed and
everything possible done for the comfort
and convenience of sufferers brought
there for treatment. The institution
will be open to any physician in this
part of the State who desires to bring
his patients TO suitable place where
he can have them under his personal
supervision. DR.. Wadsworth has con-
templated this pre- ject for some time and
is entitled to much credit for his energy
in bringing about this arrangement
which must be very welcome one to
many physicians in this vicinity by the
solving of the problem of affording hos
pital accommodations and giving the
patients the care of trained nurses
without going far from home, at reason
able expense. The locality Is an excel
lent one, being easily reached from both
electrics and steam cars, centrally stu
ated and commanding an elegant view
up the Kennebec, one of the finest to be
seen the whole length of the river.
A matron will go into the hospital on
Monday next and it will be ready for
patients at very early day. The sue
cess of the enterprise will be to the ad-
vantage of our town and DR.. Wadsworth
will have, as he deserves, the support of
our citizens.

North Arson.

1t was matter of regret 70 the school
officials to lose Prof. F. ". Jackson
from the teaching ranks of this town.
His resignation WAS due to his unwilling
ness to try to run the high school with
out sufficient accommodations. He has
accepted another position.
The old pine which has sung it's re.
quinn for three score years and more
over graves in the cemetery has at least,
met the fate of the woodsman's axe.
During the long gone years this tree has
stood like sentinel above the sleeping
dead. In summer breeze, in winter
storm, in sunshine and in rain il has
stood in its loneliness ever pointing
heaven"ard, significant of It's mission.
BY vote of the school committee, the
writing books throughout this town
have been changed. The vertical sys-
TEN, which has not proved to be the
success II at first promised, has been
abandoned, and system in which the
letters are Is degrees from vertical has
been introduced The vertical system
is passing out of use in very many cities
and towns. Ii will be of interest to tax
payers to note that this change is an
economic advantage, as the new books
are bought TO better advantage than
were those formerly in use.

A prominent Skowhegsn Democrat
stated to US since election, that rum
seller of another Somerset town asked
him, a few days after election, what
Sherif-elect Lang is going TO do In the
way of enforcement of the prohbitory
law, and furthermore said that he was
satisfied with the present law as it is
now enforced, it being cheaper for him
than license law could be. A contrib
utor, whose article appears in our paper
this week, estimates that under license
law an annual license fee would be 81 900.
This is not high estimate. Liquor
dealers in MaineIdo not pay as rule on an
average.more than $500 per year as fines.
Thus the prohlbitory law is practically
run on the license principle and very
low license at that-dluted to about
one-ffth normal strength. To the per-
sistant, defiant lsw-breaker this is a
bagatelle, Just sufficient to give him
pretext for putting stiff price on his
wares. Fines should be placed at a
figure that give them the essence of pro-
hibition, that will in fact prohibit, and,
II fines do not have this effect, they
should be reinforced by imprisonment as
the law provides. There are sufficient
penalties in the law to prohibit, IL ap-
Piled. Is there any logical reason why
they should not be applied? Would
leniency be continually exercised toward
persistant robbers, burglars or highway
men who should defiantly pursue their
lsw-hreaking work? OF course not.
Observance Of law, and enforcement of
law by adequate penalties, are PROPOSE
tlons that cannot be successfully assailed.
They are invulnerable.

divided between the speakers until,

Letter to L. B. Huntley.
Skow hogan, Ne.

Dear Sir: Here is curious condition
in the paint business, but il exists. N.
Avery, Delhi, y. Y, owns two houses
exactly alike; he painted one with a
mixed paint-took IL gallons. Painted
the other with Devoe; bought IL gallons
and had gallons left. Same painter
George Gilbert. Same result, so far as
looks 60.
AS you are not paint maker, you
probably don't understand why a gallon
of Devoe lead and zinc contains twice as
much paint as gallon of some of the
mixed paints. Well tell you: gallon
of milk that's half water, isn't a gallon of
milk; neither is gallon of paint that
half lime and china clay, gallon of
paint The following is the analysis of
one of the mixed paints sold in your
section:
Lead, zinc and color Al per cent
Lime and China Clay SO per cent
This SO per cent of Lime and China Clay
is whitewash; it is to paint what water
is to Standardization consequently
this paint contains only Al per cent of
legitimate paint material dead, zinc and
COLOR while Devoe lead and zinc con-
tains 100 per cent.
That explains why gallon of Devoe
lead and zinc contains twice as much
paint as a gallon of some of the mixed
paints.
Yours truly,
4s F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. Rawles & Co. sell onr paint.

A. . L. w. Field Day.

The Somerset County lodges, Ancient
Order of United Workmen held a field
day, Wednesday, the 18th instant at
Lakewood. A more pleasant autumn
day would have been hard TO have
selected, yet the attendance from all the
lodges excepting Madison, East Madison
and Skowhegan was very small.
The days program as laid out gave
the afternoon to the Degree OF Honor.
Rather than devote the time to exercises
In the hail. they chose to spend 1t in
recreation. The steamer Margaret B.
was put into commission and delightful
sails about the lake were enjoyed. The
park afforded nice place for Just such
a day and pleasant social afternoon
was the result. Bowling proved a fav-
orite pastime for many.
The hotel which had been closed for
the season was kindly thrown open by
the management for the use of the Work
men and ladies for their picnic supper.
Hot beans and coffee were furnished,
adding much to the lunch. Pwo cars
from Madison and Skowhegan arriving
at $50 brought many more which filled
the spacious dining room to OVERT owing.
The exercises OF the evening were held
in the hall. There was much disappoint-
ment when the announcement was made
that Rev. C. S. Cummings of Auburn
Sheriff elect OF andre coggin county and
Grand Master of the order, was unavoid
ably prevented from being present.
Grand Recorder a. G. Andrews OF
Augusta was present and spoke to some
length relative to the order and the wol \
principally In the State. Judge Albert
Spear, who is presiding at the term OF
Supreme Court at Skowhegan, was dis.
tinguished guest durieg the day but was
unable to remain for the evening
E. F. Danforth, Past Grand Master, and
L. L. Walton, Esq, of Skowhegan were
also speakers and their remarks were
much enjoyed.
The field day terminated with grand
ball at which Harlow's orchestra fur
nished music, about sixty couples par.
ticipating. The Somerset Co. Workmen
all enjoyed this, their first outing, and
expressed thanks to the management OF
the Somerset Traction Co. for the hospi.
tality shown them.
