Leonard Y. Gray at Cape Roster, was
burned recently. Mr.. Gray succeeded
in saving but small part Of the furni-
ture, losing all of his and the family S
clothing and provisions and seeds for
the spring planting. Loss about 500;
no insurance. The cause of the fire is
unknown.
Fire broke out in the basement of the
Sagadahoc block on Front street, Bath,
presumably from spontaneous combus-
ton or defective wiring. The fire was
confined mostly to the basement of the
clothing store Of Thompson Bros,

smoke and water. The office of DIR. r.
Fl. Donald on the second floor was
damaged $500. The loss is covered by
insurance.

Extras Augier. The fire department
vas at once called and worked heroic
ally for nearly an hour before the fire

cuy,ied the building. and quite lot Of
the furniture was saved. Mr.. Angler

THE NEW REMEDY.
Take it Now That Vacation Days Are
Fast Approaching.

Thousands of men and women are
anxiously looking forward to the vaca-
ton days that come in June, July and
August-not SO much for the pleasure
or enjoyment as for the chance of get
ting rid Of their i'll health.
To thoroughly drive away troubles
Of the stomach most people think they
have to make a business of it with
dieting, exercise, and perhaps a vaca-
ton.
But Mi-o-na stomach tablets taken
with regularity, in very few days
will drive away Indigestion, dizzy
spells, distress after eating, headaches,
sleepIessness, and the many other
symptoms of bad digestion and slug
gishness of the digestive organs that
keep people from enjoying themselves.
Day after day, at work behind desks
or in the factory with poor sunlight
and air, soon results in sluggishness of
the entire physical and mental appara-
tus. The first slight symptoms of in
digestion can be easily cured, but
when they are allowed to increase
without any help, then the stomach
complaints become hard to shake off.
Strengthen the whole digestive sys-
TEN with Mi-o-na and YOU will soon
find that both stomach and bowels do
their work as they should.

How. to Clean the. Teeth.

The properrwayr toscleanse the teeth Is to brush from the gums downward for the upper teetheaad' from the gums upward for the lower teeth. By this method the bristles, go between the teeth as we'll as oyer the front and sides. Remember that the inside of the teeth requires more careful cleans ing than the part which shows. The most important cleansing of the day is the one which takes place before going to bed. No vestige' of food should be allowed to cling. to a tooth during the night. as this induces decay. To keep the teeth in perfect condition they should be cleansed after each meal. Any acid like vinegar will dissolve the lime. of the teeth and destroy their solldfty. A pleasant mouth wash when the mouth Is at all sore Is made by shaking up a few drops of tincture of myrrh in a little warm water. It is also useful for sweetening the breath.

 h Hungary they Go not eat etesh bread. Whether it is because the. Hun garians believe In hygiene more. than sheir American or European brothers and sisters or not has nerc" been told. but the Magyar is partial to stale bread, and the staler the better. His ''rozskenyer," or ordinary black bread. as 1t is eaten by the very large ma iority of the Magyar population, is carefully laid away on a shelf and dug out for consumption months and months after it has come out of the great ovens. If the huge loaf, weigh ing something like five pounds and for which the Hungarian pays 6 or . kreutZer, equivalent to about 3 or cents in American money, has careful ly been hidden away for two years. it is considered all the better. The Hun garian never thinks of where the bread is to come from tomorrow. He thinks of where it is to come from next year, for he has at least q years supply on the shelves. The Hunga- rian bakes her bread 365 days ahead of time. Her Wednesday baking is for the Wednesday of year to come; her Thursday baking for the Thursday of a year to come.

How to Care For Ones .Hantfh.

The manner of washing and wiping ones hands has much to do with their general condition and even. with the shape of the finger tips. These cam be helped to taper If each finger Is; wiped separately by taking the toweaibetween thumb and forefinger of the oths hand and pressing each finger at. the, side;, beginning at the nall and rubbing. down to the palm. This: after al long time, will affect their. shape, says, a writer In the New York Postt. The common way of wiplng by passing q towel over the hands, rubbing from the palms down to the finger tips;, is a mistake and will. thicken the flesh about the nails. We'll. shaped. nails are essential, and unfortunately few per sons have them naturally. Many are made worse, though. by the. way they are mistreated, and, like. the, fingers, they may be improved in. wiping. Each should always be dried separate ly by pressing from the top of the nail down to the base, whichl keeps con- stantly pressing back. the. cuticles from the moon. 1t takes only a. couple of more minutes to treat-thes fingers this way each time; they areswet, and 1t is more than worth whtle.. Another aid is to rub cold cream over the nails on going to bed, using only just enough to fill in the space~between cutiefe and base of the nail This.will not rub of on the bedding andr will prevent the cuticle romphardening:
