The statement that l have been act
| ing in the interests of the larger
creditors of F. III. Gray & Co, is un-
true. l have acted exactly as if APP
pointed receiver by the United States
court with authority to continue the
business and every act has been per-
formed with the one object in view of
realizing as such for the creditors as
a whole in the proportion that the
claim of each and its rating bears to
the whole.
THE larger creditors never suggested
and different course. and there was a
distinct written understanding at the
outset to that effect and it has been
lived up to absolutely 1t is unfair to
the high standing of the larger credi-
tors that an allegation to the contrary
should go unanswered.

1t is set forth in the petition that on
Aug. s the firm made a general as
signment to John =. Reynolds Jr., Ior

WORSE THAN ONIONS.
Bad Breath From Indigestion Can
not be Overcome With Perfumes.

All of us suffer from bad breath
sometimes our own. but oftener that of
our friends.
Nine tenths of this bad breath
comes from some stomach trouble, and
cannot be overcome by breath per-
fumes or any other palliative measures.
If you occasionally have a bad
breath; if there is heartburn,
flatulence and acid gulpngs of I'M
digested food; if the stomach burns or
smarts if there is sleeplessness,
nervousness, headaches or any other
of the many symptoms of indigestion.
use Mi-o-na stomach tablets and get
WELL
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive nor
a physic, but a tonic remedy that
strengthens the muscles of the
stomach and bowels so that the flow y,
gastric juices is increased. and the
food is digested naturally and does not
stay in the stomach to ferment ana
poison the breath with nauseous odors.
A little 50-cent box of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets lasts for a couple of
weeks, and will ward off a dozen mild
attacks of indigestion. If you suffer
with a chronic case of stomach trouble,
the use of Mi-o-na for a reasonable
length of time will give you an abso.
lutte and complete cure.
Bowditch, Webster & Co.. have seen
so many cures made by Mi-o-na
stomach tablets that they give I.
guarantee with every 50-cent box that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy fails to give satisfaction.
They take the whole risk, and a box
of Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny
unless it cures you.
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville
by Geo. w. Dorr and in Gardiner by
C, H. Beane.

The National Biscuit Company, fol-
lowing the lead of the Steel Trust, has
encouraged its employees to purchase
its stock, and of it's 1900 stockholders
1895 are employees. it appears by the
annual report dated Jan. 81. The
company is ten years old. and in the
period of it's existence has increased
it's annual sales from $34.OO0.OOO when
It was started to nearly $42.000,00O in
1907. Here is an interesting para
graph from the report dealing with
this topic, which it gives US pleasure to
reproduce: "Our increase in sales is
not due to the fact that there is less
number Of rival manufacturers of bis
cult than there was in the first year of
the existence of this company. On the
contrary, the number has increased.
We have. frequently stated that tho
policy of this company was not to buy
out competition, nor to attempt, by a
ruinous war of prices, to crush the
same, and to that policy we have
steadfastly adhered. We offer our
goods for sale at fixed price and
upon stated terms, available to all
grocers." To succeed not by the trust
method of running competitors but by
making the best goods, and by extend
ing their sale by all fair means Of
advertising. that is good American
policy, and one that the National
Biscuit Company has followed. The
National Biscuit Co., are large users OF
newspaper space throughout the year
and to this factor is attributed a large
moaSu Of their success.
