The remains of Miss Olive F. Head,
who died in Maiden, Mass, on Saturday,
Aug. 5, were brought to Sumner Hill
and the funeral services held at her
former home and birthplace on Tuesday,
the Sth inst, conducted by Rev. l..
w. Muttart. The deceased was Is years
of age, and was held in high esteem for
her many amiable and ladylike qualities.
Although an invalid for many years and
most of the time confined to her room,
still her genial presence and refined man
ners won the respect and sympathy of
all that knew her. Had her health not
failed when quite young lady, she,
doubtless, would have acquired more
than local fame as musician and artist,
as she was by nature qualified for those
positions, and had instructed classes in
piano practice in Lewiston, Bangor and
other places.

while, since the girls have outnumbered
the boys three to one since the present
year came in.

Farmers in this locality have very gen.
orally finished haying. This has been
an exceptionally good season, but little
cloudy or rainy weather to injure the
hay. Some have got in their entire crop
without drop of rain, although those
who had hay out during the heavy rain
of two weeks ago were some of them
heavy losers. Hervey Hastings of Newry
Corner lost ten tons, washed into the
river, and the injury to the standing
grass was great, making total loss OF
$500, estimated.

WILL. CAUSE SICKNESS UNLESS STOMACH
rs STRENGTHENED WITH MONA.
One tablet of Mi-o-na taken before
each meal during the summer months,
whenever the stomach is out OF order, or
the digestion weak, will do more than
any other treatment to prevent the dis
eases caused by germs at this season.
If the stomach is weak 80 that food
does not readily digest in it, the food
will become sour, Shiny, fermentlng
mass in the digestive organs, the ideal
condition for germs to cause bower
trouble, diarrhGa, or other summer
illness.
Mi-o-na will soothe and heal the irri-
tated mucous membrane of the stomach
and digestive tract, stimulate the solar
plexus, and strengthen the whole nerv-
Gus system. This remarkable remedy
will make the whole digestive system 80
healthy, clean and sweet that food can
not ferment, and any disease germs
which may enter the stomach will be
destroyed.
Just one small tablet out of a so cent
box of Mi-o-na before eating, and you
will have no headaches, back-ache, poor
appetite, distress after eating, heart
burn, furred tongue, sleeplessness, OF
general debility. 1t will tone up the
digestive system and give perfect health
and strength.

Poultry Experiments.

The Maine Experiment Station has for
some years been engaged in breeding
hens for egg production. BY means OF
the trap nests a systematic attempt is
being made to establish productive
strain by breeding only from birds of
known records. All the breeding fe-
males now carried are tested hens that
have laid from 100 to PSI eggs in year
and $50 pullets and hens whose mothers
produced 200 or over, eggs per year. All
males used in breeding these two classes
since 1901 had mothers that had laid 200
or more eggs in year.
Bulletin III, which is just being issu-
