New Hampshire not only originated,
and observes yearly with increasing
success the Old Home Week, but for
some time past has made systematic
efforts to increase the summer boarding
business. The success attained in this
direction is strikingly exemplified in
The summary of results published by
She New Hampshire State Board of
Agriculture. Compiled statistics show
that since 1890, the year when the con-
rerted movement to bring summer
Doarders into the State was started,
l,2l3 summer homes have been built in
New Hampshire. The number of sum-
mer visitors has increased from $4,000
to nearly 200,0 each year, and the cost
of summer homes Improvements since
1890, summer hotels and Improvements,
boarding house and farmhouse improve
ments on account of summer board,
reaches the grand total of S11, 1921, 975.
Our railroads, the Maine Central and
the B. & A., have done a good deal in
this direction through the distribution
of attractive advertising literature; but
much more could be accomplished if
the people in the towns and villages
would move in the matter. AS it is
there is in some localities not only no
attempt to induce people to come there
for the summer months, but obstacles
are placed in the way of their coming.
Those who want board find it difficult,
if not impossible, to obtain it, and those
who want to buy land and build are
shut out by the exhorbitant demands
of land owners. Old Home Week, which
was an important factor in bringing
people to Maine and ensuring the re-
turn OF many year after year, is no
longer observed, although the money
required for it's observance could not
be more profitably invested. Maine
should profit by the example of New
Hampshire.

MASS OF SORES
Awful Suffering Of Little Boy
from an Itching Humour
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch Of Skin on
His Whole Body Unaffected

"My little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At the
time I was induced to try cuticura
he was so bad that I had to cut his
hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and in removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break.
ing. I began to think that he would
never get we'll, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment I
began to see signs of improvement,
and with the third and fourth appli-
cations the sores commenced to dry
up. His skin peeled off twenty times,
but it finally yielded to the treatment.
Now 1 can say that he is entirely
cured, and stronger and healthier
boy you never saw than he is to-day"

GREAT BEAR DEN.

# On the right hand branch and the left hand bank of Skytes creek, some two
 miles from it's junction with Big Birch river. Webster county, there stands a poplar tree that surpasses in size any tree of any kind in Webster county.
 This monarch Of the forest measures twenty-seven feet in circumference three feet from the ground, and as it's annual growth shows an inch in twenty years, we find that it has withstood the storms of eleven hundred years. Like all things earthly, however, death and decay mark it's present condition, and while at one time 1t contained many feet of valt,able lumber, yet early log gers and mill men viewed 1t, sighed and passed on. No crosscut saw would reach it's girth and no team of horses could move a log of twelve feet long were 1t possible to cut it into such lengths.
 Immense cavities are found in the up- per trunk and large limbs, where many generations of bears have hdbernated throughout the winters. This is evident from the fact that the body of the tree is slightly inclined from perpendicu- lar and what Is termed or known as the upper side" is scared and .raked from the ground to the first limbs by the claws of many bears ascending and de scending for ages. Early trappers and hunters were familiar with the tree and knew 1t to be a bear den," but none were found with the necessary industry and nerve to chop down the tree and se- cure the gane.--F'airmont (W. Va.) Times.
