Last week was the most eventful
in the Louisville tobacco market In
years. A higher range of prices for
low and medium grade Burley tobacco
than any time during the past seven
teen years was shown. 1t was the
general opinion in Louisville Satur-
day that the Continental Tobacco Co.
has cornered the market on Burley, as
during the preceding ten days is agents
had purchased millions of pounds at
prices that would ordinarily seem ex-
orbitant. As the independent COM
panies are making efforts to obtain
tobacco suitable for their purposes at
almost any price it is apparent that
they are uneasy and the trust con-
trolls the situation. The corner last
week advanced Burley prices from 50
to s. per hundred.

There is only one way 10 cure deaf

nation be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear

cases out of ten are caused by catarrb,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

The Southern Farm Journal pub
lished at Baltimore, comments favor
ably on Rev. S. O. Christians letter
printed in the News some weeks ago
on the subject of small canneries.
The Journal says his suggestions are
similar to those of other wide. awake
men who see in the great surplus of
fruits and vegetables now being raised
in the South the opportunity for in
creased wealth for the farmers. The
south is the greatest market in the
world for canned goods. says the Jour-
nal, apd small canneries ought to pay.

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY.
Still a Successful Business Man,

A man who had both jaws shot away
had trouble eating ordinary food but
found a food-drink that supplies the
nutrhmcnt needed. He says:
Il have been an invalid since the
siege OF Nlcksburg, in 1866, where 1
was wounded by a Mimic ball passing
through my head and causing the en-
tire loss of my jaws. I was a drummer
BOY and at the time was leading a
sk1rmish line, carrying a gun. Since
that. time l have been awarded the
medal of honor from the Congress Of
the United States for gallantry on the
field.
Inc consequence of my wound was
dyspepsia in its most aggravated form
ana | finally proved ordinary coffee
was very hard on my stomach so I
tr1ed Postum and got better. Then 1
tried common coffee again and got
worse. | did this several times and
finally as Postum helped me every
time l continued to use it, and how
eften L think that if the Government
had issued Postum to us in the Army
now much better it would have been
FOR the soldier boys than coffee.
CoHee constipates me and Postum
does not: coffee makes me spit IN nv
food, Postum does not: coffee keeps
me awake nights, Postum does not.
Ihere Is no doubt coffee is too much
OF stimulant for most people and is
the cause of nearly all the consti-
patton.

at liberty to use my Name" Name

MAINE SCHOOL NOTES.

The Lincoln High school, Springvale,
held very interesting exercises recently
i'll observance of Parents Day.
There are 105 pupils in attendance at
Foxcroft Academy. The class of 1904
which will graduate, next week, num-
bers IL.
Dean Blaustein of the New York Ed
ucational Alliance, is also in favor of
vacation study, for" he says, 1--WE
should not pass day in the year when
we feel we have nothing TODD. During
the summer children have nothing to
do but enjoy themselves, and it is
wrong for them to go so long without
any responsibility. Just think of all
the children from ten years to fifteen
left for one-fifth of the year with no
responsibility. A little study is desira-
BILE for moral influence and also for
memory, as the First month of school
has always to be spent in review of the
previous term"
Now that the summer vacation Is
almost at hand, the opinion of two well
known educators on study during va
cations may be of interest to teachers
and parents. Dean Russell Of the New
York Teachers College, says: What
about vacation study? Why, children
read mountains of stuff in vacation
Why should they not be guided in their
reading? Children play all the time
Why should they not play in whole
some fashion instead of initiating the
drunken man and making believe they
are thieves? If guided they will get
value from play. is the principle of the
summer Fairgrounds. The same is
| true of study. If they read. it is better
| they read something worth reading
| than haphaZard stuff"

MAINE INDUSTRIES.

Those people who thought that Great
Works would remain in state OF IN
activity after the recent burning OF tie
saw mill owned by the Penobscot
Chemical Fibre co. will experience Il
change of opinion by paying visit -
the site of the destroyed property.
Since the fire Of two weeks ago n large
crew of men have built and filled ten
stone piers. completely closing the gap
between the stone dams and where the
mill stood. A Golfer dam is being put
on outside of these piers and in a few
days all will be as tight as before the
fire. 1t is understood that the Z. &. +.
Co will continue the construction of its
stone dam as soon as the pitch of the
river will permit. and it is altogether
likely that the big electric power house
for which partial preparation has been
made will be completed this season.
With this amount of work in view,
Ward one will easily be the centre Of
Industrial activity in Old Town this
year.
The past month has been n busy
time in the Lubec sardine factories.
and those that have been running have
made n pack that a few seasons ago
would have been considered a fair pack
for the entire season. The patent seal
ing machines. while cutting off the la
torers in this department, has called
for extra help of a cheaper grade in
other parts of the work, and help of
the male laborers is somewhat scarce.
The time seems not far distant when
the sardine manufacturer will be
obliged to import the larger portion of
his help or shut up shop. The pack
for the month of May will exceed any
thing in the past, and the fish. SO far,
have been of an excellent quality for
the packing of 4 oils; very few. if any,
X mustards have been packed.
An Eastport correspondent writes:
Contrary to expectations of several Of
the local packers the supply of herring
since the week opened has been fully
up to the demand but the fish have
been running much smaller than usual
and in some cases the usual cutting off
the heads has been forgotten by some
of the cutters but the packers have
been active during the week and steady
work is now looked for. 1t was sup
posed that the early schools of herring
had died out but such is not the case as
this week number of schools of the
smaller herring came in the weirs down
the bay and as these are in demand it
will not interfere with. the canning of
the product even if the price is little
higher than usual for a hogshead of
the fish,"
