First Breath of Summer.

The first breath of summer finds the East
to satisfy but to anticipate the needs of its
patrons This fact is we'll demonstrated by
the adoption last week OF the summer sched-
ule by the company, which means decided
increase in the number of sailingS and,
therefore, increased facilities in passenger
traffic from Boston to Portland on the Port
land Division; to Bath on the Kennebec Di-
vision; Bangor on the Bangor Division and
st. John on the International Division:
For the Portland Division, steamers ''Gov.
Dingley" and "Bay State" are in service
and make trip every week day at p. M,
alternately, connecting at Portland with
railroad and steamship lines for interior
points and coast landings.
The Kennebec arm OF the service will
have this season, the same as last, the two
magnificent side-wheelers "Kennebec" and
"R. B. Fuller"
At present, and until June Is, only one of
these boats, the "Kennebec," is used, max
ing three trips week. The Boston sailings
are Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays at 6
On the Boston and Bangor Division, the
Great White Flyers ''City Of Rockland' and
"City of Bangor" ply daily, except Sunday,
between these points, making alternate trips
leaving Fosters wharf at 5 p. m.
This season more than ever, by reason Of
tourist steamboat travel between Boston
and the Maritime Provinces, the Eastern
Steamship Company apparently is striving
and is able to guarantee the best possible
accommodations to its patrons. The sum-
mer schedule on this division provides for
from Boston for st. John by the steamers
'sCalvin Austin" and "Penobscot," which
will stop at all landings, including Port
land, Eastp0rt, Lubec and st. John.

exert its efforts in breaking up ten
dency that will certainly work positive
harm to the party for which it SO loyal
ly stands Now as we understood our
contemporaries article it applied speci-
fically to the nomination of Congress
man Burleigh, and in defence of that
action we feel that nothing more need
be said. As to the "cut .and-dried'
method of conducting political conven-
tions in general method not confined
to one political party-The Republican

denim it as it's kindly critic. The Repub-

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

always do. The fact is our Fairfield

In a recent issue of the Commoner
William J. Bryan laid out Judge Par
ker and the New York Democratic
platform: and last week performed a
like service for Olney and the Massa-
chusetts platform. OF the two plat
forms he pronounced the Massachu-
sets the most candid. And further:
''The New York platform was cum
ningly devised and intended to deceive;
but the Bay State convention practical
ly said to the Democrats of the coun-
try: cit is none of your business what
our candidate thinks or what we will
do"
'The Massachusetts Democrats de-
clare that they have the ideal candi-
date for the presidential nomination
and they ask the country to accept
their assurance that he is all right in
every particular. To prevent any dis
appointment before the convention the
Massachusetts delegates take the pre-
caution to draw the veil over his views,
a futile precaution, for in his New
York speech, proposing MI. Cleveland's
denomination Mr.. Olney, the Massa-
CiltlSGllo Cdluludlt, gave W UllG COuHbly
a clear understanding as to the kind of
President he himself would make.
There is only one political doctrine to
which the Massachusetts platform dis
tinctly refers, and that is no longer at
issue. 1t commends Mr. Olney's posi-
ton on the Venezuelan controversy
with England. AS this has been in
dorsed by ali political parties, it can no
more be made a campaign issue than
could the nations position in the war
of 1912.
''The New York convention present
ed no issue at all; the Massachusetts
convention suggests an issue that was
settled.1o years ago; the next reorgan-
izer convention might content itself
with passing a resolution commencing
the discovery of Alabama.
"What an animated campaign we
shall have if the Wall street element
writes the Democratic platform. And
to think that all this cowardice is dis
played at time when the Republican
party is unable to defend its position
on single question; at time when a
bold, honest and consistent fight for
genuine Democracy would provide
abundant hope for success

ARE YOU SATISFIED?
If Not, What Better Proof Can Belfast
Residents Ask For?

This is the statement of a Belfast citizen.
The testimony of neighbor.
You can readily investigate it.
The proof should convince you.
Herman c. Fultz, fisherman, of Belmont road,
two and a half miles from Belfast, says: 1.-TWO
boxes of Doans Kidney Pills bought at Edmund
Wilson's drug store gave Mrs. Fultz more genuine
relief from pain in the small of her back just over
the right kidney than anything she ever used. A
friend told her while she was suffering from q
very aggravated attack to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. After a few days treatment noticed q
change for the better. AS she continued it greater
relief was received and finally the attack ceased"

The Presidents address at the annual

The Presidents address at the annual
meeting of the Maine Press Association
in Portland last January made refer
ence to the growing tendency of adver-
Using agencies to delay the payment of
bills. 1t was said that, "Firms that once
paid promptly now not only delay pay
ment, but require frequent dunning
before they pay at ALL" That was the
case with the Pettingill agency, which
has since failed for million or more,
with assets of less than quarter of
that amount. Indeed it is said that
creditors are not likely to realize more
than ten per cent. This Office had done
business with the Pettingill agency for
a great many years and until recently
had no cause for complaint. They were
ready to make contracts on fair basis
and paid promptly. OF late their meth
DDS had been the reverse of satisfac-
tory. They wanted advertising done at
ruinous rate to the publisher and pay
i'll printing material, or directory aOVer-
Using, and if cash was insisted upon it
was difficult to get it. If you did not
advertise in their directory you were
not included in the list of mediums
they recommended to their customers
and the public. As we have never been
able to discover that a newspaper di-
rectory, or an advertisement in one, is
of the slightest use or benefit to a
country newspaper, the price paid is
little short of robbery. We hope this
failure will result in newspaper pub
fishers combining for protection against
such practices as it has brought to light.
The lesson las been dear one.
