" lille it has been rumored that the
season of the Kennebec division of the
Eastern Steamship Co. will terminate
on Nov. IS. this date is not official and
none of the agents at the river landings
have rs yet been notified of any such
intention of the company. AS the
weather this fall is exceedingly favor
able for the steamboat company's bus
mess, il is not believed that the Ran
som II. Fuller will be taken off much
before Thanksgiving week. The season.
this year. did not commence until rath-
er late, April II, and it is not the in
tcntion of the company to shorten it
by amy means. Even as it is. the sea-
son will he short one. The longest
season of the past decade was in 1895.
when the line began operations, March

alarm and the fire department reached
the scene as quickly as possible. There
was some delay in getting d stream of

but not until the lower part of the
house had been badly damaged by the
water. Much of the household fur
nishings on the first floor had been re-
moved but practically nothing was

The proclamation follows

The proclamation follows:
BY the President of the United
States of America. A proclamation.
When nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came TO the country which
has now become this great republic,
they frontcd not only hardship and
privation,' but terrible risk to their
lives In those grim years the custom
grew of setting apart one day in each
year for IL special service of thanks
giving to The Almighty for preserving
the people through the changing sea-
sons. The custom has now become ma
tional and allowed by immemorial
usage. We live in easier and more
plentiful times than our forefathers,
the men who with rugged strength
faced the rugged days: and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at any previous time IN
Our history. II is emincntly fitting that
once year our people should set
apart a day for praise and thanksgiV-
ing to the Giver of Good. and, at the
same time. that they express their
thankfulness for the abundant mercies
received, should manfully acknowledge
their shortcomings and pledge them
selves solemnly and in good faith to
strive to overcome them. During the
past year we have been blessed with
bOuntIful crops. Our business pros
perity has been great. No other peo-
pie has ever stood on as high Il level
of material well-being as ours now
stands. We are not threatened by
foes. from without. The foes from
whom we should pray to be delivered
arc our own passions. appetites and
follics: and against there is always
need that we should war.
Therefore | now set apart Thurs
day. the 30th day of this November. as
Il day of Thanksgiving for the past
and of prayer for the future and on
that day I ask that throughout the
land the people gather in their homes
and places of worship, and i'll render
ing thanks unto to the most high for
the manifold blessings of the past
year. conSecrate themselves to life
of cleanliness, honor and wisdom, Sc
that this nation may do it's allotted
work on the earth in Il manner worthy
of those who founded il and Of those
who preserved it.
In witness whereof ! have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
second day of November i'll the yeal
of Our Lord. one thousand nine hum
dred and five. and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and thrtieth.

NOBODY is EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
Will Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less. and the COM
monest thing they do for it is to take
some one of the many so-called blood
purifiers. which. in many cases. are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in a
elogged condition. they need only a 1T
tie help and they will right themselves.
Cdthartics irritate the sensitive Innings
of the stomach and bowels and often
do more harm than good.
PurSinS is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food III con
dltion to be readily digested and as
simulated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and eXcrction of the di-
gestive fluids ard relieve the con-
gested condition of the glands and
membranes. They put the whole di-
gestive system in condition to do its
work. When that is done you need
take no more tablets. unless you eat
what does not agree with you. Then
take one or two tablets give them
needed help, and you will have nc
trouble
It's a common-sense medicine and a
common-SenSe treatment, and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes
