That Somber List.
Estate Board of Health Bulletin.


The law providing for the registration
of births, marriages and deaths imposes
certain duties upon various persons
town clerks, physicians, justices of the
peace, clergymen, midwives, under
takers, heads of families, etc. 1t also
provides that the State Registrar of
Vital Statistics shall take cognizance of
lapses of duty in these directions. How
he does this by means of various pretty
efficient systems of wireless service will
be explained in a future number of this
bulletin. Suffice it to say that every
month he is obliged to write to a pretty
large number of persons because they
have not reported to the town clerk or
to the state registrar as the law re-
quires. And each case OF this kind be-
comes a matter of record in the office.
The facts are entered upon blanks and
these blanks are filed alphabetically
after the style of card catalogue. An
examination of the names on this list
shows that most of the persons are not
repeaters, or at least not frequently and
wilfully regardless of duty. The great
majority of physicians, town clerks, I'M
dertakers and others apparently try to
comply fully with the requirements OF
the law relating to the registration of
births, marriages and deaths.
But there are few persons who are
making cases against themselves.
Records are accumulating. A few OF
these have been put into the hands OF
the county attorneys. A few more
cases will soon follow. This registra.
ton of Vital Statistics is an important
matter. Its records are needed for
various purposes, and the absence OF
the record Of birth, marriage, or a
death has sometimes resulted in seri
GUS injury or financial loss to individ
uals. Our records of this kind in this
state must be az complete and accurate
as it is practicable to make them.

The Heart Can't Stand
Rheumatic Acid
Poisoning.
To Free and Correct the Blood a
Uric-0 Treatment is Advised.

There is great danger in those sharp, shooting
pains through the chest around the region OF the

Don't neglect these warnings, they are the dan
ger signal, Nature flashes to you for help. You
must neutralize and drive these dangerous
poisons from the system, or sooner or later they
will overcome you.
The only true way to cure rheumatism is To
/ get at It from the inside with Uric-O. 1t acts
with marvellous swiftness upon the muscles
kidneys and blood. Clears out the sand.like de
posts in the muscles, forces the kidneys to per
form those duties for which they were designed
and neutralizes the acid within the blood.
Your physician will admit that this is the only
| true way to cure Rheumatism permanently, and
| should know that Uric is the one remedy that
| will do 1t successfully and permanently. Uric
o is liquid taken internally. times daily, and
does not contain any morphia, opium or other
socalled "pain deaderers." 1t is good for Rheu
matism in any form. Sciatica, Muscular, Inhan'
matory and Articuar Rheumatism all yield
readily to Uric-O. Write the makers OF the rem

OLD FOLKS
CAN RENEW THEIR STRENGTH.

While it is impossible for the aged to
renew their youth we want to say to all
elderly people in South Paris that they
can renew their strength by taking our
delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol.
Vinol, being rich in the elements OF
life, is an ideal strengthener and body
builder for old folks.
Mr.. A. j. Barker of Evansville, Ind,
SAYS: "There is no other medicine in the
world equal to Vinol for elderly people,
would not take thousand dollars fol
the good it has done me-"
Vinol is not patent medicine, but a
real cod liver preparation made by q
scientific extractive and concentrating
process from fresh Gods livers combin-
ing with peptonate. of-iron all the medic.
inal, healing, bodybuilding elements OF
cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol tones up the digestive organs
makes rich, red blood, and sound, steady
nerves. In this way it repairs worn tbs
sues, checks the natural decline of the
aged, builds up the run down, tired anG
debilitated, and replaces weakness with
strength. We ask every aged or weak
person in South Paris to try Vinol or
our offer to return money If it fails t.
give satisfaction. F. A. Shurtleff & Co.

The Fight for the Forests.

Stewart Edward White is to publish an
article in the January American Maya
zine on 1.-THE Fight for the Forests. "
On one side, he says, is the destructive
greed of few and on the other the
splendid work of the government in pre-
serving wealth, which, if riotously in
vaded, may later have to be replaced at
cost of three billion dollars. The arti-
Gle is to be published just as Congress is
opening in the hope that it will help
awaken the public to the danger of a
sudden attack upon the Forestry Service
in Washington this winter. Last year
an organized raid on the service was
made. The attack failed, but more
trouble is promised this winter.

BADLY MIXED UP.

Abraham Brown of Winterton, N. Y.
had a very remarkable experience; bt
says: doctors got badly mixed up ovel
me; one said heart disease; two called
it kidney trouble; the fourth blood
poison, and the fifth stomach and liver
trouble; but none of them helped me
so my wife advised trying Electric Bit
tiers, which are restoring me to perfect
health. One bottle did me more good
than all the five doctors prescribed. '

A head-on collision of freight trains
occurred on the Maine Central at Carmel
Wednesday night. One fireman, Harry
Symonds of Waterville, was killed, his
body being found under the wreck OF
the engines. Four other train men were
injured more or less severely, but will
recover. The accident is said to have
been due to the failure of A. Roy, tele-
graph operator at Northern Maine
Junction, to deliver orders to one of the
trains.

Notice to the Patrons of the Nor.
way Water Company.

Some persons believe that the rules
and rates of the Norway Water Company
have lately been changed, but such is
not the fact. All rules and rates remain
the same as they were made at the or
ganzaton of the company.
Below we will give an extract of the
rule relating to the collection of its wa
ter bills:
"All water rates shall be payable at
the office of the treasurer six months in
advance, on the first days of January
and July in each year. In all cases
where such bills are not paid on or be-
fore such times the supply will be cut
of and shall not be turned on again ex.
cept upon payment of the sum OF - 90
for cutting off and turning on the
water"
1t is the rule of all water companies to
collect their water bills in advance.
