A proposition to begin the municipal

general approval in Westbrook. Portland
has set the new fashion and it is expected
that number of cities make the change.
The Aroostook papers declare that
never before in the history of the county
have conditions appeared more favorable
than at present for the advancement and
development of her people and the re-
sources of the county. The Bangor &
AroostoOk railroad has to large extent
brought this about by pushing its way
up through the lakes and forests-here-
tOfore locked up in their obscurity-until
the remote places have been reached.
There is great future ahead of Aroos-

One traveler-of course, we are not
obliged to believe him-says that when
the Maine-bound trains stop at Ports

Portsmouth! Portsmouth! This train
now passes through the great New Eng.

The restaurant is on the right! Ports

by another traveller that when he tried to
get drink in Portland, even the tin cups
at the Union Station drinking fountain
had been removed. This he regarded as
the limit.

the road ought to come nearer to them
than the half mile as now laid out, and
the matter of this location was discussed
at some length.
The attorneys for the opposing roads
put on no testimony regarding the matter
of public convenience, but satisfied
themselves with cross-examination of the
petitioners witnesses along this line.
They produced evidence to show the
amount of passenger business now done
along the line of the new road. Mr..
Blaiklock of the Grand Trunk stated
that the Lewiston branch had always
been operated at loss, and that, while
he had no figures worked out, it was
reckoned in general way that the local
passenger traffic on this portion of the
| line did not pay for itself.
Mr.. Bradford of the Rumford Falls
road made statement of the passenger
traffic of that road between Mechanic
Falls and Lewiston, for the year ending
June 80, 1902. Rates of fare varied from
40 cents for a single unlimited ticket to
In $40 cents for monthly "a trip com,
mutation ticket. The total number Of
passengers carried between the points
named was 1901, and the total receipts
were $S,724.90.
On the matter of the location in Me
chanic Falls there is opposition on the
part of the steam roads, particularly al
regards the grade crossing over the Rum
ford Falls road on Pleasant Street. i
was shown that this crossing was within
the limits of the Rumford Falls yard
where great deal of shifting and backing
must be done across it, and that it wa
in a particularly inconvenient and dan
gerous location. The Grand Trunk also
objects to having another underpas'
built, and Mr.. Blackjack showed that tn
J electric road could 60 through Cobb''
underpass, now existing in Mechanic
Falls village under the Grand Trunk, ant
then cross the Rumford Falls road by al
! underpass, thus avoiding a grade cross
ing entirely, at cost which he roughl
estimated as less than that of the presen
plans. This route would leave the high
: way and 60 over private property TO
about q mile.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier lin nature but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better IL is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking. or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal ehectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels: It
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics IN tablet form. or. rather.
In the form OF large, pleasant tasting
lOZenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these Iozenges will

and the beauty Of 70 Is that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but. on the contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the benefits Of charcoal. says: I ad-
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozerges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels. and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat. I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use Of
them; they cost but % cents a box at
drug stores. and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than IN
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
