ASKS INTERPRETATION.
Charles Bradbury Wants Court to De-
eide Meaning Of Fathers Will.

-NTN--',t
Hon. o. D.. Baker, representing Chas.
Bradbury of Camden has brought a
bill in equity asking the court to in

Hon. James w. Bradbury of this city.
The papers have been served by notice
Igiven the parties concerned.
Mr.. Bradbury died. Jan. 6, 1901, leav-
ling an estate valued at at least $217,-
5O8.23, according to the statements of
the bill as drawn. This was distributed
by will dated Oct. 10. 1898, with a
codicil dated June II, 1899.
By the provisions of this document
about $4,000 is disposed of in various
smaller requests and the remainder
amounting to about $1S0OO0 is divided
into two equal shares, which are to
be held in trust for Eliza Louise Brad
bury and Charles Bradbury. Henry C.
Jackson of Boston, and Louise Brad
bury of Augusta, were appointed trus-
tees for Eliza Louise Bradbury, and
James Otis Bradbury of Saco, Oscar

AS a general rule meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men. women
and children, and grains. fruit and veg
eta bles should conSti;ute the bulk OF food
eaten. r.
But many of the most nutritious feeds
are difficult of digestion. and it is of NJ
use to advise brain workers to eat large
~ of grains and vegetables where the di-
seStion is too weak to assimilate them
properly.
suits from oar food that some simple and
harmless digestive should be taken after
meas 10 assist the relaxed digestive or
gans. and st verdl years experience have
proven stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to b.
| a very SAFE. pleasant and effective dige<-
| tive and a remedy which may ce taken
daily with the best results.
S.sa.. Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine, as they dc
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ b@t only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack pepsi
diastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion o.
hydrochloric acid.
People who make daily practice OF
taking one or ,wo Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after ca oh meal are sure to hav,
i.erfsct digestion which means perfect
health.
Tnr.e j. no danger of forming an inju
rious habit as the tablets contain absc
,lutely nothing out natural digestiyes: co
y caine. morphine and similar drugs hav,
no place in stomach medicine. and Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly tin
best known and most popular of al
stomach remedies
Ask your druggist for a fifty cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and al
ter a weeks use note the improvement
in health, appetite and nervous energy.

TAX ON SPoRTSMEN.
Hon. A. r. Niekerson Writes Letter on
Subject.

Hon. A r. Nickerson of Boothba Y
Harbor. State commissioner of sea and
shore fisheries. writes to the Maine
Woods as follows in regard to placing a
tax upon hunters of big game:
"In reply to your several questions as
to how the money shall be raised, and
what / think Of the idea of taxing non
resident hunters to protect the moose
ard deer from slaughter, l will say
To answer this question without much
thought, or without knowing much
about the feeling manifested by our
former legislatures, should say--by
an appropriation sufficient to pay the
wardens which are required to guard
our forest. But there is a feeling
know existing throughout our State
that the inland flesh and game commits
sion receive enough at the present time
to pay sufficient warden service and
also to breed fish for the State.
AS to the expense of breeding fish
I am wholly inexperienced and know
little or nothing as to the amount of
money required for the purpose, but
am satisfied that the State has a COM
petent commission to look after that
department.. and if in their Judgment it
is necessary to tax the nonresident
hunters l believe the people in this
State should agree to it,
THE commission has viewed the sub
iect from FL points and l have no doubt
that should the State proceed as out
lined by the commission we shall in the
end be benefited, and our fish and game
preserves be maintained in such a man.
ner that nonresident hunters and
spOrtsmen will visit this State and re-
turn to their homes well satisfied with
the results of their visit to the State Of
Maine. and our State be benefited by
having had them with u.s."
