ACTUAL STARVATION.
w. n. Sheldon Gives Facts Re-
asrdinq Dyspepsia.

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There Is no reason why people
should not eat anything they desire-if
they will only chew it carefully and
thoroughly. Many actually starve them
selves into sickness throu- h fear of eat
ing every good looking, good smelling
and good tasting food, because it does
not agree with them.
Dieting connot cure Dyspepsia. If we
refuse every article of food that dis
agrees with us. before long we have
nothing left, and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptice.
We can cure dyspepsia. We are 80
confident of this fact that we guarantee
a cure, and promise to supply the med
icne free of all cost to everyone who will
use it, who is not perfectly satisfied with
the results which it produces. We
exact no promises, and put no one under
any obligation whatever. Surely, moth
ing could be fairer. We are located
right here in Middlebury, and our re-
putation should be sufficient assurance
of the gPnuineness Of cur offer.

The state military authorities have
under consideration the matter of hav-
ing the two regiments of infantry In
camp at the state grounds in Augusta,
during the month of August. For many
years prior to 1900, the two regiments
were mobiliZed at the same time but
since then each regiment has been here
separately, the first regiment coming the
first week and the second regiment the
second week, alternating every other
year. 1t has been practically decided
that the soldiers will not "hike" to
camp this year.
The resolutions adopted by the Maine
Methodist Conference, at its annual
meeting at Augusta, take firm stand
on prohibition and against the resub-
mission to the people of the prohibitory
liquor law; also against the passage of a
druggist license law for the sale Of
liquor; make plea for better Sabbath
enforcement, especially in the matter of
Sunday excursions, and condemn the
lax nature of the Maine divorce laws.
A special committee was chosen to join
with other denominations in urging on
the legislature laws against Sunday
excursions.

One of the Wonders Of Prehistoric

men of fantastic erosion-an island
in the air, q rock with overhanging
sides nearly 400 feet high, seventy
acres in area ON the fairly level top,
indented with countless great bays,
notched with dizzy chasms. The great
er part of the island overhangs the sea
like huge mushroom, and on the top
stands a town which for artistic charm,
chronological interest and romantic his
tory has no peer.
This little town Of Ancoma Is one or
the most perfect types Of the prehis-
toric Pueblo architecture. Most OF the
houses remain of the type invented
when every house must be fort. one
climbed ladder to his first roof and
pulled UP the ladder at night, living
ON the second and third floors and
using the ground floor as a cellar.
Against enemies armed only with bows
and arrows this was fair defense.
Comfort had TO be sacrificed to safety.
Nothing except the eagle sought such
inaccessible eyries as these victims OF
their own civilization.
Because they were farmers instead
of freebooters, because they had homes
instead of being vagrants, they were
easy TO find. and they We're the prey OF
hundred nomad tribes. With incon'
ceivable labor this island town IN the
air was built and fortified. 1t was
reached only by mere trail OF toe
holes up the stem Of the mushroom.
The age of the island is not known
except that 1t was already old in lo4O
when the first explorer visited it and
wrote an account Of its wonders.

She New Oepositor Made Quick work
With His Check Book.
During financial stringency a
Swedish farmer In one of the middle
west states had sold some hogs on the
local market and upon receiving his
check in payment Immediately went to
the local bank to realize on his sale.
Upon presentment of the check the
banker said to him, do you wish the
money OH this cheek"
"vell, tank yust so veil take him"
was the quick reply.
"You really want the money"
yah; tank I take the none"
but do you really need the money"
asked the banker.
"vell, no; l don't exactly need him,
but tank take the NONE"
WELL" said the banker, "if you real
ly want the money Of course l will
give it to you, but l thought If you
did not need 1t perhaps you might open
all account and deposit the money and
then check against 1t as you needed
It."
"Den ven send my shecks here you
will refuse to pay dem."
ooh, no, we won't. II you open the
account, we will pay your checks
whenever they come in"
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said, well, If you pays my
shecks, den | open de account" And
the account was opened and passbook
| and check book handed to the new GUS
| toner.
Half an hour later close friend OF
the new depositor appeared at the
cashiers window and presented a
check signed by his friend for the full
amount Of the deposit, which was
promptly paid by the banker without

In about an hour the Swede appear
ed and, walking up to the cashiers
window. handed the banker his check

remark. "Vell, l don't tank l needs

Notes on the Congregational Campaign.

Delegates so far chosen are, for Swa-
sey 11S; Sewall 70; Blanchard 81; Wing
II; Libby 6; uninstructed SO.
The ball rolls merrily on. Not sim
gle "header" yet has Hon. John p.
Swasey received. Nearly all the towns
and plantations In this county ha9e
chosen delegates and every man is for
Mr.. Swssey. Perhaps by the time this
paper goes to press Brownf1eld, Stow
and Milton Plantation will have held
their caucuses. This will complete the
county.
Androscoggin County Is doing finely
for the Oxford County candidate since
our last issue. The Wales caucus in
structed for Mr.. Swssey, as did also
Leeds. The former has one delegate,
and the latter three. May 4th Lewiston
has its caucus which will complete the
county. As this county now stands Mr..
Swasey has 20, Mr.. Libby 13, Mr.. Wing
II and three are uninstructed. The
second choice of the Wing and Libby
delegates is Mr.. Swasey.
In Franklin County so far Mr.. Sewall
has only one delegate, Mr.. Blanchard 10,
and 15 are uninstructed. It is probable
that on the first ballot Mr.. Blanchard
will be given a complimentary vote by
his own county delegates. The succeed
ing ballots will develop great strength
for Mr.. Swasey.
Rockland in Knox County, which has
13 delegates, did not declare for any
candidate, but it is known that they are
hostile to Mr.. Sewall. Perhaps the
Knox delegates may ultimately decide
the contest and If 80 it will certainly be
Mr.. Swasey. 1t was at first reported
when Rockland and Vinalhaven chose
their delegates that they were for Gov.
ernor Cobb. 1t does not appear, how.
ever, that he has entered the fight.
