The WASTES OF THE BODY.

Every seven days the blood, mus
cies and bones of a man of average
SITE loses two pounds of wornout
tissue. This waste cannot be re.
>pIenished aud the health and
strength kept mp without perfect d.
.gestion. When the stomach and
digestive organs tail to perform their
functions, the strength lets down,
health gives way, and disease sets
up. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
digest and 'sssimilate all of the
wholesome food that may be eaten
into the kind Of blood that rebuilds
the tissues and protects the health
and strength OF the mind aud body.
Kodol cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia
and all stomach troubles. 1t is an
ideal spr ny tonic. Sold by w. A,

during each of the winter months.
March came in with gale and heavy
rain which did considerable damage.
The railroad bridge at Clinton was car

roads in city and country were badly
washed. The temperature March 18TH,
IS degrees, was the highest recorded here

largest ever recorded III that month. 1t

month. There was but one snowfall III
April. not enough to measure. Inc
farming season opened unusually early;
farmers plOWed and planted peas April
5th and farm work was 10 days ahead
of 1901. The favorable conditions, how
ever. did not continue. The ground
froze May 10th and the mercury was at
or below freezing l32 degrees times

18th, 18th and 22d, and a light frost the
31st. Vegetation was well along in
June; roses were i'll bloom the 18th: field
straWbe berries were ripe the Goth: and
green peas and cultivated raWberrles
were in the market the Odd. The gale
of the 10Th was the most severe one
ever experienced here in June. Great
damage was done to growing crops.
July was very unfavorable for haylng
and other farm work. The month was
very cloudy and wet: in some Instances
hay was in the bunch days IN the held

was very stormy, and gale the 2lst

FIRES AND FIRE DEPARTMENT

An important movement made IN the
line of fire protection was the placing
of fire escapes on the Belfast Opera
House and Odd Fellows block. These
were by outside stairWays and re-
arranging some Of the inside passages to
make egress from the buildings more
direct. The Windsor Hotel additions
were planned with view to having
ample fire escapes through the regular
doors of the building. Washington
Hose Co. held its annual ball in Belfast
Opera House March 9th. The music
was by Meservey'S Orchestra OF ROCK
land. The City Council, in March,
elected VIM. A. Mackenzie Chief of the
Fire Department. He proposed num-
Der of radical changes in the depart
ment, including e-organizing the force,
putting in fire alarm system, keeping
horses for use at fires, having men
always in TIE engine rooms, etc. MI.
Mack epzie resigned May 1st, and l. L.
Clough was chosen chief. The City
Council voted to put in a fire alarm
system, and the Gamewell system with
six boxes was installed. An additional
box was ordered later and will soon be
in working order. A steam whistle on
Mathews Bros mill is used for the
alarm.
Belfast Hook & Ladder Co. gave a
supper and ball in Belfast Opera House
May 1st, with music by Lakes Orches-
ira. The affair melted sos. The com
pany resigned in July and a new CON-
pany was organized. This company
had a concert and ball in Belfast Opera
House Nov. Goth, with music by Lakes
Orchestra.
There were few fires during the year
and the property loss was small. In
the second fire Of the year the owner of
the building, Luther Gannett, lost his
life. Following is list of the fires:
Jan. 8. Railroad freight depot; dam
age SIS; no insurance; cause, overhead
ed stove.
