What Fires Cost Us.

F. W. Fitzpatrick contributes an article
in the November McClure's on Fire
an American Extravaganza. He says:
.tFires have cost us as many as 1000
human lives in one years time, and our
loss in money value, through the destruc-
ton of property, is almost as appalling.
The production of gold in the entire world,
something like $500, 900 per year,
would not recoup US for our losses by fire,
and the incidental expenses accompanying
them. in the same period of time; the
value of all the coal mined in this country
in years time would just cover the cost
to us of our fires; the value of our lumber
production is only a trifle more. We
are fond of luxuries, and import great
many, vet the value of all that importa-
tion is but a fifth of our fire cost. We
are great and persistent advertisers, and
spend huge sums in that accessory to busl-
ness, but, vast as our advertising bill IS,
it EQUALS but two-fifths of our fire bill
and all the industrial dividends paid In
1907 aggregate but three-fifths OF the
amount of our fire extravaganza.
''In 1907 there were no great con1agr1a-
lions; it was what might be termed a
normal year; but we actually destroyed
buildings, and property contained IN
them, to the value of $215, 600, 600. "

COLD STORAGE WANTED
Also Starch Factories in Central Maine

In recent issue we referred to the
crying need of a potato house, cold storage
or otherwise, for Central Maine. Mr.. F.
A. Wing, well known shipper of apples
and potatoes, says that such house would
mean thousands of dollars paid to the
farmers in this section every year, that
now goes elsewhere. 1t is certainly a
good chance for some capitalist to make
an investment that would be permanent
and could not fail to be a paying one.
There is also a crying need of starch
factories throughout the central and
southern portion of the State to take care
OF the understandable potatoes. Every
indication points to larger acreage OF
potatoes in 1909 than ever before and the
question is what is to be done with the
by-products? 1t is poor economy to throw
them away but what use can they be
put to? In several instances there are
unused water powers that could be easily
secured for this purpose and as we under
stand it the machinery of a starch fac
tory is not necessarily expensive. One
thing is certain, if we are going to keep
on planting potatoes at the same rate of
increase in the future as we have in the
past, some provision must be made for
the understandable stock or the business
cannot be the success that it deserves to
be through this section of our State.
Here would be great opportunity for the
State Board of Trade to take hold and do
something worthy of it's name and its
opportunity. Turf, Farm and Home.

LUCKY LOBSTERMEN.
THEY HAUL UP BEER AND T"o-DOL
LAR BILLS.

One of the lobstermen arriving IN port
reported peculiar catch IN one OF MS
pots. When he drew the pot out OF
water there were no Holsters inside, but
there were two bottles. Announcer slngu-
lar thing about the haul IN tnls partlcu-
lar Dot was that one of the bottles con-
tanned as good beer, so the . inpster. 1h an

thing. which NAV seem singular to the
lavman. but which the lobsterman says
frequently happens, is that t ia , o1ner po!-
tie contained brand new 81 Dill. IL Is
not always 81 bill, but not intrequently
a lobsterman reports catcnlng currency
or silver in this way.
The owner of the lobster pots knew at
once what had happened. a yacntlng
party with An appetite for Holsters, not
desiring tn come ashore for them, had
pulled one of the pots. This is unlawful,
but it takes the temper out OF the law
when the pay for the Holsters IS le1t m
side the not. The lobstermen say that
more often they find nothing IN the pot
than they do 81 bills, but when a yacht
ing party takes Holsters without consent
of the owners of the pots 1t is generally
considered the rule to leave the pay. In
most eases the Holsters are paid Tor at
higher rate per pound than the market
price
The lobstermen would rather not have
any one bothering their property, as
there is more or less danger OF changing
the location of the pots, so that they are
hard to find. 1t is possible that the gear
NAV be left out of order and pot or two
lost in this way. The lobster catchers
prefer. however, having the money LETT
inside if the game is to be taken.

Rheumatism Recipe.
Directions to Prepare Simple, Yet Re.
markable Home Mixture


A well-known authority on Rheumatism
gives the following valuable, though simple
and harmless, prescription, which any one can
easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a
teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be OBJ
tanned from any good prescription pharmacy at
small cost, and, being of vegetable extraction,
are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for
a few days, is said to overcome almost any
case of Rheumatism The pain and swelling,
if any, diminishes with each dose, until per-
manent results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are many So
called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines,
ETC., some of which do give relief, few really
give permanent results, and the above will,
no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many suf-
ferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this neighbor-
hood elicits the information that these drugs
are harmless and can be bought separately, or
the druggists here will mix the prescription
for our readers if asked to.
