The Soldiers Home at Camp Benson.

Since 1895 home for disabled soldiers
has been conducted on a small scale at
Camp Benson, near Newport, Me. The
Camp Benson association gave the home
association large farm with the under
standing that home was to be built
upon it. This thing the home associa-
ton has tried to do by procuring State
aid, but several legislatures have failed
to proffer assistance, and now the Camp
Benson association desires the farm re-
turned to it.
A committee from the Camp Benson
association, consisting of Abel Davis,
Esq, of Pittsfeld, John W. Webster of
Newport, E. r. Carr of Pittstield and
Mr.. Brooks of Corinna, met a commit
tee from the home association. Geo. B.

done by correspondence.

A New Town Hall with Hall for the Ma

The Masons and Knights of this town
have put their heads together and are
considering the plan of building a large
town hall with a nice hall on the second
story for their own use. Both organiza-
tons have some capital and their mem
bership comprises some of our best and
most energetic citizens. The project
may develop into something more than
talk. \ large hall for general purposes
is very generally conceded need of
this place.
The matter of new schoolhouse for
the village is still agitated and will
doubtless continue to be at intervals
until it becomes an accomplished fact
Several families have left this town and
vicinity, or have been prevented from
ings are not what they should be. The
accommodations are such that a nice
graded system in accordance with the
need of the times is impossible. With
a good house and well graded schools
this place might easily be made an edu
cational centre to which would come
the young people from outside of our
own town to our advantage, financially
and otherwise. BY taking advantage
of the free High school law the expense
of running the schools would be no
more to the town than it is now and
we could educate and graduate our chill
dren at home We have in mind fam
lily of three boys who have driven five
OF SIX miles to the Belfast High school
and have ranked we'll in their studies,
too. The little red schoolhouse in the
country district is not to be despised
All honor to the noble and distinguish
ed men who have made a success of life
with the instruction gained therein.
But this is an age of improvement and
we all want the young people of to-day
to have the advantages that many of
us We're deprived of SO let us keep up
the agitation. 1t is just about as we'll
to talk against it as to talk for it. The
result cannot be attained at once and
out of the opposition some practical
ideas may be obtained.

and The nature OF that water was a wonderful
discovery and valuable acquisition to the ma
terra medicl. They are located ON the northern
spur of san Miguel Mountain about thirteen
miles distant from the city OF san Diego. { al.
The waters flow out of the side of hill, which
is crowned with heavy strata of chaIky deposit
Unlike other spring waters that continually
form calcareouS deposits and incruStations which
require removing. or if ferrugli Gus and sulphur
Gus constantly cover the watts with slime. these
waters flow over the solid rock without showing
the least stain of accumulation of any deposit,
the waters remaining any length of time perfect

The medicinal quality is an antacid. and where
alkaline lotions are used IN feyers OF cutaneouS
diseases, warm or cold. this water has no rival.
Salt Rheum in aggravated cases, with proper
attention to the drinking and using externally,
must yield toits healing influences.
Patients suffering from gastric catarrll or acld

to remove abnormal coating and bring live tissue
into action.
Also persons from same cause or from i'm

A fight of birds changed the history
Of America under the following circum-
stances: When Columbus sailed west
ward over the unknown Atlantic, he
expected to reach Zipangu Gapan).
After several days sail from Gomera,
one of the Canary islands, he became
uneasy at not discovering Zipangu,
which, according to his reckoning,
should have been 216 nautical miles
more to the east. After a long discus
sion he yielded to the opinion Of Mar
tin Alonzo Pinzon, the commander Of
the Pinta, and steered to the south
west. Pinzon was guided in his opin-
ion by a flight of parrots toward the
southwest. The effect of this change
in his course curiously exemplifies the
influence of apparently trivial events
in the worlds affairs. Had Columbus
kept his original route he would have
entered the gulf stream, reached the
coast of Florida and then probably
been carried to Cape Hatteras and Vir-
ginia. The result would probably have
been to give the present United States
a Roman Catholic Spanish population
instead of a Protestant English one, a
circumstance of immea surable impor-

the fight of birds more important

What Would
You Give For
A Good
Appetite?

The hungry boy is the strong
and healthy boy. Farmers and
horsemen never buy animals that
are dainty and won't eat - not if
they know it. The man or woman
who cannot eat, cannot work long,
will soon be sick.
Weknowsomething that will give
you an appetite. 1t will not be a
fictitious appetite such as is aroused
by powerful drugs, but healthy
appetite for good food. 1t will also
arouse the vital organs not only to
an appetite for wholesome food,
but it will put them in condition
to take care of food, to grow strong
from it.
This preparation is called Vinol.
Its composition is no secret. 1t
is a happy combination of the
valuable and essential principles of
cod liver oil, with iron and a good
table wine. 1t is pleasant to taste,
and both nourishes and creates an
appetite for nourishment. Thou
sands upon thousands of bottles
have been sold on the guarantee
of money back if not satisfied with
the results, and it is very rare to
have a customer call for the money.

WEEDS

Consumption is 4 human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
