auspices of the Epworth League. A large
and appreciative audience was present to
enjoy the rare treat 80. Mrs. Ada Dyer re-
Gently escaped what might have been a
very serious accident at her home at Forest
side, adjoining the Dyer homestead. A
withheld for the time being, supposing the
house to be unOccupied, discharged a re-
volver at the house, while standing in the
main road. The bullet entered the front
parlor window, passing through the lower
rooms and lodging in the back wall The
authorities will look into the matter at
once as it might have been most serious
offense. Several such outrages have been
committed in the neighborhood, among
which was the destruction of window glass
to the amount of fifi cen dollars in an uEten-
anted farm house, owned by Mrs. Dyer.

transportation of pupils" Even the

transportation of pupils" Even the
Bridgton News, which says it agrees in
the main with the Express, is forced to
admit that ''as to some districts We
know of no plan for running school
unless the scholars are in some way as
sembled there for the purpose. There
are none residential"
The Portland Express also calls at
tention to the large bills in the town
reports for transportation Of schol-
ars::' These items would in many cases
be mainly, if not wholly offset by the
cost of maintaining schools under the
old law but which have been discon-
tinued. But admitting that the pres
ent system costs more, is the expense
the only thing to be considered? 1t
costs more to build and maintain good
roads than poor ones; that is, the ap-
preparations may be larger, but when
the advantages of good roads are con-
sidered, the better facilities they offer
for transportation, the lessening of
wear and tear of vehicles, the immu-
nifty from accidents, and the fact that
in these days no place with any hope
for the future can afford to neglect its
streets and highways, and it must be
conceded that the increase is necessary
and justiiable. So with the schools.
If the present system offers superior
advantages to the old, if it gives better
facilities for education to greater
number, and our young people are thus
better equipped for earning liveli-
hood or attaining distinction, is not the
additional cost, if such there be, fully
warranted.
No doubt the change i'll the school
laws may have been to the disadvan-
tage of some localities; but that is true
Of changes generally. The greatest
good to the greatest number should be
the end in view, and if that is attained
under our present school laws they
should be retained; if not they should
be modified or repealed.

HYOME1 A RECORD BREAKER.
Novel Method Of Curing Catarrh. Sold {
Approval by r. H. Moody.

Novel Method Of Curing Catarrh. Sold on
Approval by r. H. Moody.
The popularity and remarkable sales of
Hyomei have broken all records. In nearly
every city and town in the country, this
guaranteed cure for catarrh has given most
astonishing results.
The leading druggists are SO enthusiastic
over the remarkable percentage of cures
following the use Of HyOmei, that, with
hardly an exception, they advertise to their
customers that HyOmei will be sold with
the understanding that it costs nothing
unless it cures.
In Belfast, R. H. Moody is endorsing it
and guaranteeing to refund the money
unless HyOmei cures catarrh. He has sold
great many HyOmei outfits, and to-day,
no other treatment for the cure of catarrh
has as many friends in Belfast and vicinity
as HyOmei.
1t is scientific, yet common sense method
of treating and curing this too common dis
ease. 1t sends by direct inhalation to every
cell of the air passages in the head, throat
and lungs, balsamic air that destrOyes all
catarrhal germs, purifes the blood with
additional ozone, and makes a complete
and lasting cure of any catarrhal trouble.
The complete outfit costs but 81, and in
cludes an inhaler, medicine drOpper and
! sufficient HyOmei for several weeks treat
| ment.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei
R. II. Moody positively guarantees to re-
fund your money unless 1t cures.

One feature of the annual report of
the State educational department has
attra cted particular notice. This is the
table wherein it is shown that, although
the lumber of young people in the State
of sch DOL age increased over the previous
year, the attendance in the schools
shows decrease. 1t appears that there
were 214,72 persons in the State be-
tween the ages of and 21 in 1908, a
gain of 1899 over 1902, while the total
number registered in the common
schools of Maine for 1903 was 1872, 415,
a loss of 1922 over the number register
ed the previous year.
The above facts have furnished texts
for a deal of newspaper criticism and
comment. The Portland Evening Ex-
press favors a return to the district
system, and thinks if that were done
1.-The average attendance in proportion
to the number of scholars would not
decrease in the rural schools" But the
Lewiston Sun says that "this de-
crease was in such places as Biddeford,
Auburn, Sanford, Madison, Waterville
and other places where there are mills
in which children are Employed" and
chat "there is no decreased attendance
IN the rural schools of Maine, except in
those sections where the population is
growing smaller, and where the con
slitions have necessitated the changes
in the school laws which provide fol

RE1EAST MAINE.

Dear Sir: As your business is to get peo-
pie into and out of trouble. suppose you
consider their paint; it makes 'em almost
as much trouble as money, except of course
matrimony.
They buy poor paint good DEAL they
don't mean to they don't know any better !;
they buy without thinking. Bad paint isn't
good. 1t looks good enough for year :;
then begins to get rusty; but changes SO
slowly, one don't notice it.
Looking isn't ALL The business Of paint
is to keep house dry inside, the wood and
iron of it !; keep it from rotting and rusting.
Takes good paint to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one price
or about that. One can't go by the price at
all as with lawyers, the price has nothing
to do with goodness or badness; and costs
are worse yet the painter and sheriff come
in for their share.
But the probability is that man who
paints Devoe will come out on top.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. Mason & Hall sell our paint.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu u
cOus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
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.

permanent good OF the city.
The general cutlery against yellow
journalism has had its effect. Its
spread has been checked, and today the
only conspicuous examples are the
Hearst newspapers. A far greater evil
confronts us, in our opinion in the per-
nicious literature of the day which is in
vading our homes and flooding our H.
hraries. The dime novel of the past,
the theme of SO much hostile criticism,
and so universally condemned, was
T ar less injurious to the young reader
than the great mass of the fiction of
today. The dime novel dealt in eXcit-
ing and wildly improbable adventures;
but it was morally clean and never il
reverent. This cannot be said of cur
rent fiction, Much of it is silly, vulgar.
and unhealthy in tone. Fortunately it
! 5 as perishable as the mushroom but
unfortunately it contains the poison of
lie non-edible kinds and during its
very brief popularity may do much
harm. Those who become addicted to
this unhealthy class of fiction lose all
relish for better books History, tray
els, biographies, works on the arts and
scie nces have no attractions for them.
There is also danger that they may be
morally as we'll as intellectually cor
rupted BY all means let US have clean
journalism; but it is no less important
that we should have clean literature.
The graduating class of the Gardiner
High School is planning to make trip
10 Washington, ID. c., and will prob
ably 90 during the vacation rather than
wait until after the school closes in
June, and it is proposed to substitute
this trip for the customary graduating
exercises. Hon. W. W. Stetson, State
superintendent of schools, thinks very
yavorably of the plan and in discussing
1t brought out these points:
First, | think the lavish expense
which is incurred in connection with
the average high school graduation is
in bad taste and inflicts a burden upon
the parents which they ought not to
bear
Second, it ma'les possible certain
social distinctions and is responsible
for social rivalries which are unwhole-
some
Third, l can't see any good results
Erom the display and exercises as we
find them With most graduations.
Fourth, but l do approve most
hea rtily of the educational value of a
trip to Boston, New York, Baltimore
and Washington. think the pupils
will take up their subsequent work
with greater zest and intelligence be-
eau Sc of the learning which they get
during the trip. wish all pupils who
go might earn the money for them
selves, independent of their parents,
or ave it from the amount allowed for
the usual graduation exercises.

Republican COwardice.

For the last six years both brances
of Congress and the executive have
been controlled by the Republicans.
During that:period they have bad to
make a new apportionment determin-
ing the number Of representatives in
Congress and thereby fixing the
number of votes in the electoral coll
lege. Under this apportionment the
solid South casting 1,3l4,650 votes
has a representation in Congress of
125. South Dakota casting 122,932
votes has two representatives, in Con
gress. 1t takes 10000 votes in South
Dakota to equal 5,621 in Arkansas,
while in Georgia only 3,759 voters
equal 6l,000in South Dakota.
New York state alone would have
over 100 votes and South Dakota
would be entitled to "a votes
in the electoral college if the same
rule applied in the North as in the
South.
The Republicans have shown COW
ardice in not dealing with this Unjust
ice. They have the power, the right
to make tho representation equal
Had they done this the solid South
with its unjust proportion of votes
in the electoral college would not
endanger the success of the party
every four years.
A vote in South Dakota is just as
intelligent as q vote in Georgia, but
the Georgia voter counts 20 to bis
one in voting for a Pr esident,-
Huronite.
