Frozen Potatoes.

1t is really pity that the rose tint
ed dream of the book farmers did not
come true in Maine. For years these
farmers have been sitting back in
their upholstered chairs and telling US
old "hayseedso what to do and how to
do it in order to get rich. One of the
most infallible recipes for securing
quick nd early riches in Maine was
to get the internal revenue tax re-
moved from denatured alcohol and
thus permit all the abandoned farms
in Maine to blossom like rose with
thrifty crops, which should be grown
all over Maine for the purpose of pro-
ducing alcohol OF the denatured vari-
ETY., said alcohol to be sold at vast
profit for the immediate enrichment
of all Maine farmers who are unable
to get living in any other way.
And now, something like two years
after the tax has been removed on
this particular breed of alcohol, and
at time when Maine farmers should
| be ready to pay income taxes on the
profits they make out of alcohol, there
comes an early frost and touches the
undigged potatoes in Aroostook count
| ty and converts their starch into
sugar, which is the first step in the
process of making denatured alcohol
from potatoes. Naturally a potato
that h las been frozen in the ground Is
hardly suitable for table use. Fur
thermore, potato that has been
frozen and had it's constituent starch
changed into sugar is not available
for use at the Aroostook starch
factories, and the starch makers have
no use for frozen potatoes, even If
they could get them for nothing.
But il the dreams of the book farmers
who gave us sweet dope" about
making denatured alcohol from
potatoes had come true, and the
county had become vast distillery,
those potatoes which have been made
sweet by frost and which the starch
factories will not look at, could have
been sold to the alcohol stills at top
notch rates and perhaps millions OF
bushels of frozen potatoes might have
been saved.
At times when some of ns horny
handed old agriculturists get gloomy,
because Commissioner Gilman of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton does not send us more than two
free bulletins a week, and when the
for revenue only agricultural news
papers do not give us more than two
or three warranted methods Of
getting rich while we wait, we get
together on the sunny side of the
barn and snuggle up among the dead
burdocks, and wonder If there is not
a method OF farming which is known
as denatured northumberland

Drinking Men
Not Wanted

The above sign is now seen in many shops
and Offices in this city, because drinking men
are unreliable
Competition is too keen and life is too
strenuous for an employer to keep men on
his payroll whose nerves are unsteady and
whose brains are not clear.
Every line of business is beginning to
close its doors to drinking men.
Drunkenness is disease and like most
diseases,-has its remedy. Orrine is the re-
liable treatment and is sold under positive
guarantee to effect a cure or your money will

Why Sloan's Liniment and Vet
Urinary Remedies Are The Best
To Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
nient and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market to-day. In the first place,
DIR. Earl S. Sloan is the son of a vet
Urinary surgeon, and from his earliest
infancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practised as a
veterinary for twenty years, and has
bait led successfully with every disease
to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of
experiments made to save life or
relieve suffering while he was practis-
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
s. Sloan, 615 Albany Street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise
on the Horse" free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and
poultry.

Bransby Williams has made one OF
the greatest individual successes ever

Boston, hence it will be no surprise
to find him again heading the pro-

series of his remarkable character
types from Dickens.
One of the big hits in Boston
theatricals last season was the
presentation Of George AIDES very
bright sketch, "Mrs. Peckham's
tarouse", by May Irwin. This season
it is in the hands of Flo Irwin and
company, and both sketch and

mented wherever it has been played.
