Maine News Notes.

Charles Mussey of Raymond, while
camping with friends at Little Sebago
Pond, fell down stairs and broke his
neck.
The body of William Cunningham was
found floating in the Salmon Falls river
at North Berwick Tuesday. The de-
ceased went to the river for a swim on
Sunday and did not return. 1t is sup
posed that he was taken with cramps
and drowned. Mr.. Cunningham was 81
wears of age and native of Belfast.
William F. Harrison, night operator
at the Maine Central station at Old
Town, committed suicide by shooting
Thursday night. Harrison was 20 years
of age. He had been married and left
one 3-year-old son. A note which he
left indicated that unrequited affection
was the cause of the deed. His father
shot himself.
In Pembroke on the 18th, Mont Dud-
ley and Armand Little were going out in
a boat to shoot sand-peeps. Arriving at
the boat, Dudley took, the gun by the
muzzle and was trying to put it under
the seat, when the hammer of the gun
struck the seat with such force as to dis
charge the weapon. The charge struck
Dudley in the left breast. He died in a
few minutes.
The action of the county commits
sioners of Aroostook county few days
ago in issuing an order to the jailer
not to permit any food to be brought
to prisoners confined in the Jail has
caused considerable comment. 1t was
a matter which was much discussed at
the meeting of the county commits
sioners' association at Houlton and
doubtless the action of the commits
sioners was result. The commission
ers felt that of course there might be
cases where refusal to allow food to be
brought inside would become hard
ship and would not be right, but in a
large majority of cases this would not
apply. According to the general senti-
ment of the meeting at Houlton the
jails were not made to give the prison
ers the Injuries of home, and the plain
fare is as much q part of the punishment
as the confinement. Now will the new
rule b applied TO oil our jailss

A Trip to Togus.

EAST SUMNER, Aug. IL.
In these days of reunions and short
vacation trips, allow us to suggest to
old soldiers, especially, an interesting
and delightful trip to the Soldiers Ma
tional Home at Togus. We recently
made the journey and none that we
have made afforded more pleasure. 1t
is indeed an interesting sight to look
over the neat and spacious grounds,
made beautiful by fine lawns dotted
will large plots of plants and flowers ar
ranged il artistic style, while the COM
modious and neat barracks, opera house,
hospital, reading rooms, library and
amusement halls, are well worth visit.
At meal time one can behold scene
rarely witnessed. A large dining hall
capable of seating 1900 men is neatly and
fully equipped with every needed ap-
pliance for comfort and convenience.
When all is in readiness, at signal the
big doors are opened, and in less than
two minutes the tables are filled with
the quiet, orderly men, when another
signal is given and all begin to eat quiet
ly, preserving the best table decorum
and order. For dinner, on the day we
were present, new potatoes, nice fresh
fish, string beans, plum pudding, bread
and butter and coffee were served. The
most fastidious epicure could not COM
plain at the neat and ample service.
A visit to the hospital wards, where
400 men are most kindly cared for, is
sight to be remembered. 1t is comfort
ing to find such good attention given to
the wants of our old veteran defenders
of our now powerful and peaceful
nation.
A visit to the cemeteries is sad yet
interesting sight that will awaken
thoughts as to what our present freedom
and national integrity cost.
One should by all means visit the
in neat stalls fifty-four as fine full-blood-
ed Holstein COWS as were ever seen at
our fairs. As "Uncle Sam" pays the
bills, one may imagine that nothing
needed to make the stock look> nice is
omitted. The farm comprises about 1900
acres, mostly natural grass land, and the
farming operations are conducted in the
most approved modern style.
We found ample material for full
page of the Democrat, but space will not
allow. We say to all who desire to take
vacation of day or two, try trip to
this noted home. What will it cost me-?
is the natural inquiry. Well, when at
Lewiston get mileage book, and from
there to Winthrop it will be 50 cents, from
Winthrop to Togus, IS cents; total S.
cents. The new electric line gives fine
views of the lakes and the fine farms in
ii locality, and the entire trip is full of
scenic interest. Try it and see.

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET WELL
NATURE HELPS MONA CURE STOMACH
cynpr nRnER


TROUBLES IN SHORT ORDER.
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, al! help
to restore healthy action to the digest
i've organs.
Now when Nature will aid Mona in
curing indigestion and giving strength
to the stomach and whole digestive sys-
tenn, is the best time to use this remark
able remedy. -,
Taken before each meal, Mi-o-na will
soothe and heal the inflamed and irritat-
ed lining of the stomach and sOlar-plexus,
and strengthen the nerves OF the digest
i've tract. Used at any time of the year,
it cures all diseases of the stomach, ex-
cepting cancer, but in the summer
months it gives health and strength
twice as quickly.
II you suffer with headaches, indiges-
ton, flatulency, specks before the eyes,
fermentation, heart burn, dizziness, OF
have variable appetite, and general
feeling of dependency or weakness, II
shows clearly that the stomach is not al,
costing the food as it should. Instead
of the food being assimilated and max
ing rich, red blood and good solid flesh
and muscle, it is turned in the stomach
into a sour, Shiny, fermenting mass thai
causes gases, distress after eating, and
poisonous germs that fill the whole body
with poor health.
Just one little tablet out of 80 cen
box of Mi-o-na for a few days, and al
this will be changed for the better, ant
health restored. Ask F. A. Shurtleff q
Co. to show you the Mona guarantee

be wise or wicked to save 1t in the best
condition for the dumb and helpless

Would the Maker of common sense be
better pleased to have you put it in

creatures that look to you for comfort

loot! loot! An auto goes shuddering
by. 1t is getting to be of so frequent
wonder, surprise or admiration.
Speaking of autos reminds us of a
story. A passer-by saw number of
boys down on all tours and on the move.
He was told that they were making
believe that they were an automobile.
Each one was a certain part of the ma
chine. The last one on the line was the
stink, so he said-not an elegant word,
but that Is what it is. That is the name
of It. What's in name? A rose with
another name would smell as sweet.
(Shakespeare.) Such is life. In the
long line of humanity how many there
are down on all tours representing that
sort of thing, don't you know?
After long years of blindness and
darkness Cyrus Smell has come into the
light that shall never grow dim-unless
the departed sleep till the heavens be
no more. We have our beliefs and have
a right to them, but no man knoweth
And the men who wrote the Bible did
not seem to know, as they advanced
different views. 1t is not at all surpris
ing that their personal ideas crept il
and were not in the line with Gods
thoughts. The Christ repudiated some
of them, and we may do the same ant
not be guilty of skepticism. He say
that it was said by them of old time thus
and so, but l say unto you etc. Yes
they of old time said it. The Lore
didn't say it, else the Christ of Coz
would not have repudiated it. So w
affirm and 80 we believe.
