Why go North East, South and West for medi-
cines? New York is the center of the world. 1t
leads in all the sciences, especially medicine.
Whyo 1t has next to Paris and London
more people. 1t has more medical schools. hos
pitals, free clinics and dispensaries than any
study of medicine; and one of New Yorks most
eminent physicians after years of labor and
thought discovered The Secret of Health, the
prevention of disease Simply this-keep the
liver and bowels purged of all stagnant accumu-
lations, and keep up the general tone of the sys-
TEN.
His two prescriptions, the very perfection of
science, are now put up in the form of DR.. Par
ker's Tonetic Tablets.
First cleanse the liver and bowels with the
Liveroid Tablets. Remember that constipation
means an accumulation of poisonous matter and
invites a vast amount of sickness.
Follow with DR.. Parker's Tonetic Tablets which
build up body, blood and nerves, restore normal
action to stomach, bowels liver and kidneys, anG
cure and prevent anemia, pimpes, loss of appe

On a fine October day we left our home
for a ride around this beautiful sheet of
water-as fine a lake as can be found IN
Maine. 1t is well stocked with land-locked
salmon, trout and >melts, and should be
protected from lawless poachers. we
started on the Monroe road by the home OF
our popular stage driver, by the farms OF
O. j. Cass and Wilbur Carter to the town
farm of Frankfort; then, turning sharply
to the left, jog up the hill by the farm OF
IL. NJ Moore. This farm is noted tor It's
early vegetables. On we go, over the hill
by the farms of W. S. York, Chas. Harts-
horn. Chas. Walker and the late Augustus
Walker. The road is about one hundred
feet above the level of the lake and gives
one of the finest views in Waldo county.
AS we ride along we pass a number OF
fine farm buildings-neary all the property
of Patrons of HuSbandry. Soon the ROAD
winds around to the shore of the Lake on
the west side, where there are many Tine
cottages. Here are the spawning beds OF
the speckled beauties, and hundreds of
them may be seen on clear day. On we

him N:ckerson-,whO is nearly four score

Now we come to the Nickerson Il Damn
store, where you can get everything but
glass of-well, they don't believe in that.
Chas N, a member of the firm, can be
found at the mill, and is always ready to
attend to your wants. MIR. Damn has
built fine cottage near the store. which
adds much to the village. In leaving the
village we pass on the right the fine build
ings of W. T. Nickerson, where you can
get agricultural implements to your taste,
and the brick house on the hill owned by the
z. L. Downs heirs. Mel. Chase lives in the
hollow, and would not feel sighted if you
should call him Nickerson. Next come
the summer buildings of a Mr.. Goldsmith.
The next farm is Nickerson's, and he has
fine herd of Jerseys and white biddies.
On the hill is another Nickerson. The
next is A. H. Ellis; then we come to Capt.
T. DPS farm. He can steer farm as well
as a ship. Dodges Corner comes next, and
everybody knows C. @. Fernald. Capt. Geo.
E. Chaplin; and last, but not least, w. j.
Mathews, Master of Granite Grange. We
are almost home now and must hurry up,
for it is getting dark. If this does not find

A Short Story Writer Wrecked.

T. Jenkins Hams, writer of short stories,
his wife and the crew of the pleasure yacht
Edna, arrived in Brunswick, Ca. December
18th. They had been rescued from the
Edna, which foundered on December 10Th.
The Edna sailed rom Ocracoke, N. c., on
December 7th for Florida and the West
Indies. She was struck by hurricane on
the afternoon of December 9th and was
blown several hundred miles out of her
course. Her rigging was torn on December
18th, her bowsprit snapped off and her
cabin flooded with water. The rudder was
carried away the next day. Then a sail
was sighted to the east and the ensign was
hoisted to half mast union down. The
vessel proved to be the four-masted schooner
william C. Tanner, Capt. johnson. A line
was passed to the Edna and all persons on
the Yacht were taken to the Tanner. The
Edna was unseaworthy and her furnish
ings were removed to the schooner. The
Edna was built in South Boston in 1884 by
George Lawley & Son. was sloop-rigged

Names Ice Harvest.

The recent storms caused no material
injury to the Kennebec ice fields other
than to diminish the thickness about
l IL inches. The present thickness of
the ice in the Kennebec river will aver
age from seven to nine inches, and was
never of better quality than now:
The American ice company has all its
property on the Kennebec and the Pc
nobscot ready for the harvest, and say
they are ready to house at least 1,OO0,-
600 tons, should conditions warrant it.
Whatever conditions may exist in New
York and Pennsylvania regarding full
harvest, the American ice company will
house on the Kennebec not less than
200, 600 tons.
The ponds on the coast from which
winter shipments are made, and where
are located a few houses for the sum-
mer business, are all in readiness, and
have an average thickness now of from
8 to 10 inches of ice.
Ice lab0rers on the Kennebec are
much encouraged at the present out.

That Log Cabin.

Some of those who are responsible
for the selection of a log cabin for the
Maine building at the St. Louis Exposi-
ton boldly say that hunting and fish
ing are the chief Maine attractions.
They want to get people to come to
the State to shoot and fish and drop
some money in the pockets of the land
lords. The forests of Maine do not
need all this advertising. What the
State needs is encouragement for those
whose homes are there and who culti-
vate her soil. Maine apples are in a
class by themselves. Every other State
in the same latitude has hunting
grounds, but where can you equal the
color and flavor which Nature packs in
to Maine apple? Maine had chance
to go out into the home of Ben Davis
and make him ashamed of his own
family. The most striking "Maine
building" would be modern farm
house with apples from cellar to garret::

IN BEHALF OF THE CLAM.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: The
clam diggers working for the canneries have
been quite numerous Of late along the shores
of the islands in the PenobscOt bay. They
anchor small schooners in sheltered places
and bring their boats to the Shore At one
tide the crew will dig over whole clam
bed, taking every mollusk down to the size
of a small birds egg, not leaving, if pos
sible, even a remnant to propagate the
Species And during the past week or more
the temperature has been below the freez-
ing point, and thus every tiny creature that
escaped the eye of the diggers perished be-
fore the rising tide again covered the beach.
In this way every area thus dug over is ex-
hausted. Along the shores of Seven Hun
dred Acre Island were many large and very
productive clam flats. But during the past
four years the determination of the bivalve
has taken place on every one of these beaches
of any size. Only a few small hooks yet re-
main. On the west shore of Islesb0ro, some
200 rods north Of the lighthouse, were large
clam beds that have for generations been
immensely fertile. The sand is white and
the clans were of the same color and ex-
ceedingly large. During the past three
years the diggers have exposed every square
rod of these fertile beaches in severe wealth
er, and determination has followed. About
mile from this spot, in Gilkey's harbor,
was fertile area where, some years ago, a
bushel basket could be filled by digging a
few square feet around it without even
moving it. To-day this area is worthless
mussel bed, like the exhausted areas of
Seven Hundred Acre Island for as soon as
the clans are exterminated the musSels
take possession. There are still CLAIMS to
be found, but they are in the little hooks
and corners where, a few years ago, dig
gers never thought of searching.
few weeks since the New York Tribune
printed an editorial on "The determination
! of the Clam," on the coast of New Jersey
and New York. In the near future the
same will be written about the coast OF
Maine But there is a remedy. Every eX-
hausted beach can easily be fertilzed. Some
three years ago Mr.. Everett Ames, by pac-
ing two pals of CLANS at low water mark
on a sterile shore of Sears Island re-stocked
the whole beach, This mollusk is immense
ly prolific During the spawning season OF
early summer, when the large and vigorous
clans at low water mark exude the spawn,
the rising tide carries it upward and bathes
the beach. In this way whole area Is Ter
tilted, and in short time millions of tiny
creatures begin to grow. In order TO pre-
vent determination the following precau-
tions are necessary:
1. Never dig over beach when the tenn
perature is below the freezing point.
2 Take only the large clans. Leave the
small ones to grow and to propagate their
kind.
3. Do not dig up the whole area OF
clam fiat. Leave small space-even
square rod-near low water mark, and the
bivalves on that small area will keep the
whole beach fertiliZed.
