The Journal has often called atten-
ton to the decreasing number of the
smaller coasting vessels, and the fact
that none we're being built to replace
those sold or worn out. 1t seemed as
if there must always be demand for
this class of vessels, AS there are many
ports which the large schooners of today
cannot enter, and where there can be
no competition from barges. An article
in another column from the Rockland
Star indicates that the conditions thus
anticipated have at last come about, the
independent lime burners finding great
difficulty in procuring small schooners
for shipments to Boston and New York,
and this is true also of the stone carry
ing trade. We doubt, however, if it
would be profitable to build such YES
sells in the expensive way in which our
larger schooners are built today. Less
costly material and cheaper methods of
construction must be used, and here we
may take lesson from our Provincial
neighbors, whose vessels, ton for ton,
cost little if any more than half as
much as those built in our yards. These
vessels might be built specially for
carrying stone or lime, which would
give them an advantage over craft not
so constructed

HAY FEVER FOR II YEARS.
Well Known New England Woman Cured of
Hay Feyer-Cure Was Lasting.

Well Known New England Woman Cured OF
Hay Fever-Cure Was Lasting.
The thousands of discouraged people who
dread the approach of summer because they
have hay fever and cannot find any relief
from it, will read with interest and graft
tude the following statement from Helen S
Williams of Mansfield, Mass
"For q years, from the month of August
until heavy frost, have been afflicted with
hay fever, growing worse and worse each
year, until of late years l was unable to at
tend to my work during that period.
"Last summer fortunately gave Hyomei
trial, and am happy to say that it entire
ly cured me, and have had no occurrence
of the disease since"
This letter is only one of many that have
come to the prOprietors Of Hyomei, and the
results following this treatment have been
so remarkable that it is proposed at the
annual convention of hay fever sufferers to
recommend Hyomei.
By breathing the germ-killing and heal
ing balsams of Hyomei, anyone can have at
any moment of the day, either in their home
or office, climate like that of the White
Mountains.
The complete outfit costs but 81, extra
bottles so cents. H. H. Moody agrees to re-
fund the money to any hay fever sufferer
who uses Hyomei without benefit.

1t is somewhat surprising to learn
from the official figures of the chan
celler of the exchequer, that the con-
sumption of both beer and spirits was
less in Great Britain in 1904 than in
any one of the preceding Is years and
that the decline has been continuous
since 1900. 1t appears that the outlay
for alcoholic drinks in Great Britain is
estimated at $500 5000, 900 for the calen-
dar year 1904, decrease of about s27,-
0000 600 in comparison with 1903 and of
about $50, 900, 600 compared with 1899.
In quantity consumed beer declined 1-2
gallons per capita in 1904 as compared
with 1908, and spirits from 100 gallons
to OBS gallon. To make provision for
the expenses of the nation there must
be % per cent of the revenue raised
from the sale of liquors. In other
words, the people of Great Britain
must expend $500, 900, 900 on liquors
annually or there would be deficit in
the revenue of the kingdom. Accord
ing to the British board of trade
statistics no other country derives so
large proportion of its public revenues
from the liquor revenue-that of the
L nited States being given as 20 per-
cent, Netherlands 10, Russia, Sweden
and Belgium IS Denmark IS, Norway
u, Austria Hungary II, Germany and
Italy and Servia ,.

The summer months are the best in the
whole year for the treatment and cure OF
stomach troubles. The outdoor life, with
natural exercise, the fruit and berries which
are SO freely eaten, all help to restore healthy
action to the digestive organs.
Now when Nature will aid Mi-o-na in cur
ing indigestion and giving strength to the
stomach and whole digestive system, is the
best time to use this remarkable remedy. -.
Taken before each meal, Mi-o.na will
soOthe and heal the inflamed and irritated
lining of the stomach and solar plexus, and
strengthen the nerves of the digestive tract.
Used at any time of the year, it cures all
diseases of the stomach, excepting cancer,
but in the summer months it gives health
and strength twice as quickly.

The Democratic talk about special
session of the legislature to consider
the question of resubmission of course
amounts to nothing. The same men
who would be called together have
placed themselves on record on this
question and while there might be some
who would change their vote from nay
to yea the result would be the same. A
Maine politician and member of the
house of representative" -Republican
or Democrat is not stated-is quoted
by the Bangor Commercial as predict
ing that the next Republican State con-
vention will declare for resubmission
and that the proposition to resubmit
will be defeated in the legislature, "al-
though by a rather narrow margin,
while the solons will enthusiastically
vote for the abolition of the commits
sion. Then the situation, so far as en-
forcement is concerned, will be put
back where it was before the creation
of the Sturgis commission while the
question will, for time at least, be re-
moved from politics."
