A VETERANS STORY.

Escaped w.r,a Perils and Fell . Victim to
the Grin. The Influenza Left His Blood
SO Thin That Ansemia Resulted-Cured by
DIR. Williams, Pink Pills for Pale People.
In the employ of the American Bridge
Company at Pittsburg is man whose lie
story is thrilling one. For three years
during the great Civil war he served his
country as member of Company E, Sixty
third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry,
and then completed his war service in the
Seventh Connecticut. The man is Mr.
James A. Cloves, of No. 319 Forty-fourth
street, Pittsburg. Pa, and he tells in his
own way how he escaped a greater danger
than he faced on the field of battle. He says: :
can attack of the grip in 1898 left me in
low state of health and in short time
found that was victim OF anemla. ANY
exertiOn tired me and made me short VI
BREATH My heart would stop beating at
sire to eat and there was constant pain in
the small of my back. My kidneys, liver
and stomach became affected and l was
about as miserable as man can be.
Zone day I saw DR.. Williams Pink Fills
for Pale People mentioned in the paper and
concluded to see what they would do for
me. The first box helped me and seven
boxes cured me entirely, making me strong
and energetic again and in as good health
as before my sickness. My son and his
wife and many Of my other relatives have
also used DR.. Williams Pink Pills with the
best results and we all recommend them on
every possible occasion"
Hundreds of Civil war veterans, both
Union and Confederate, whose health was
broken by hardships in the army, as well
as hundreds of others run down by over
work, worry or excesses of some sort, owe
their lives and happiness to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly
on the blood and nerves these pills have
cured many stubborn cases of nervousness,
partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vi vi
tus' dance, rheumatism. sciatlca and all
forms of weakness, whether in male or fe.
male. If you are sick you owe it to yourself
to give them a trial. But remember that
you cannot try DR.. Williams Pink Pills by
taking Something else'' which may be Of
fered as a substitute. Be sure that every
box you buy bears the full name. Sold by
all dealers in medicines, or sent postpaid at

; " The executive committee of the
! Maine State grange in session at Water
vile Oct. 14th, adopted a resolution
protesting on behalf of the 10000
! patrons in the State against any in
crease in the compensation of the
special legislative committee on the re-
vision of the statutes. Among the
signers are R. d. Leavitt, member
of the house from Turner and a
member of the special commission
to revise the salaries and fees of all
members of the State government, and
Hon. Obediah Gardner, the master of
the State grange, and prominently
mentioned as Democratic candidate for
governor.
The PenObScot river water at Bangor
has become quite salt of late. This is
owing to the low pitch of water, made
by the recent dry spell. The current
in the river, usually swift, has become
SO weak that with the income of the
tide the salt sea flows up to Bangor.
Not for many years has the stream been
known to be so salt. One curious re-
suit is that several of the mills which
get their water supply from the river
have been forced to suspend operations
for a short time as the action of the
salt in the boilers, forming crust in
the tubes, has neceSsitated the put
ting out of the fires while the tubes
were cleaned out.
Prof. George L. Files, recorder of the

total registration last year was 275 and

Joseph Williamson, Esq, of Augusta,
has some relics of the olden times in the
shape of two fire buckets such as were
used in fighting fires before even the
primitive hand tub came into use. The
buckets were the property of Mr.. Will
liamson's grandfather, Joseph William
son of Belfast, when he was member
of the fire department of that place in
1921; and later became the property
of his father who had them hung in his
law office in Belfast After his death
Mr.. Williamson brought the buckets
home. They are the usualshape of the
leather fire buckets occasionally seen,
and are embellished with a study in oil,
representing the god Mercury in flight.
Over the design. in scroll, is the name
"J. Williamson" and beneath the scroll
the date. 1921. They are interesting
relics. and much valued by their owner.

According to figures compiled by C..
V. Crossman, surveyor general, the
amount of pine surveyed at Bangor has
nearly doubled in the past three years,
while the amount of spruce has fallen
off the past year. Here are the fig

The chief reasons for this falling off
in spruce are given as the advance OF
30 cents in price the last five years,
and in the fact that during large part
of the summer the big saw mills on the
Penobscot have been closed and, there
fore, no sprdce to any extent has been
sawed. The dry pine is in part boxes
and a part of it is sawed by upriver
mills.
