Senator Hale on the Tariff.

Senator Hale does not anticipate any
effort to change the tariff law during the
present session OF Congress, says WASH
ington despatch. "Once in while," said
Senator Hale "you will hear such sug-
gestion, but it is clearly out of the ques-
ton and it will not be undertaken. And, {"
he added, sit is safe to say that there will
not be any radical changes when the much
talked OF revision is made.
"Recent events have made it certain
that there will be no Strengthening of in
terests. Necessarily there will be some al
terations, some readjustments, but no gem
eral tearing down and building up. 1t is
clear that the country does not expect
such a course, and Congress will not enter
upon it,"
The senator expects the extra session to
be called very soon after the fourth OF
March. He does not count upon any inn
portant legislation beyond the passage oil
the appropriation bills during the last
session of the present Congress.

MAKES ASTOUNDING CURES.

Mi-o.na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by
Promptly Removing the Cause, or
Money Back.
Dyspepsia cannot be cured by tax
ing digester, such as pepsin, because
pepsin simply digests your food arti-
ficially, and not all of the food either,
for it has no effect at all on starcny
food, such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal,
bread, etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders, trivial
or serious, and that is to tone up or
put energy into the stomach walls, 80
that they will be able to properly mix
or churn the food.
Mi o-na tablets cure stomach trou-
bles by putting strength and energy
into the stomach. They quickly
arouse the stomach from it's inaction,
and in a short time it is able to do it's
work properly.
Mi-o-na is successfully used in vom-
iting of pregnacy, in car and sea sick
ness.
And bear in mind that when the
stomach is in good condition, consti-
patton disappears, also nervousness,
drowsiness, night sweats, heartburn,
etc.

In his conclusion ana recommendations
to the legislature Mr.. Ring says:
"The forest fires of the season of 1908 should
drive home to the people of Maine the need of
the most thorough protective legislation.
The long continued drought OF 1908 made con-
ditions more than usually difficult, but we
have had dry seasons before and we shall
have them again. The results of this seasons
work show that Maine has as good fire laws as
any state in the Union.
at is unnecessary to speak of the value of
our forests; they are extensive and valuable
and unless destroyed by fire the danger from
a lumber famine is very remote. The waste
full cutting of our spruce is practically
thing of the past and our woodlands will be
reforested by nature if proper care is exer-
cised in cutting the timber. There is no fear
but this will be looked after by the land own
ers, but if they are to be protected from fire
the State must do it.
"But while the hunters who flock to our
State during the open season are welcome
guests. they should not be allowed to enter
our forests during a dry and dangerous
period, and believe a law should be enacted
Similar to that recently passed by the state of
Vermont, authorizing the governor to issue
proclamation to prohibit all hunters from en-
tering the woods of the State during an ex-
tremely dry time.
"As further protection recommend that
the close time upon all inland animals, game
and game birds be extended to October l, at
least upon the wild lands
"For some years an effort has been made by
the Sportsman association to have a law en-
acted prohibiting the taking of firearms into
the woods during the close time on game.
Like all new legislation that is suggested for
the better protection of our forests and game,
considerable opposition to it was shown and
the matter was dropped. believe the time
has come when such law should be passed.
Few persons take gun into the woods dur
ing close time with any good intent. The
claim by some that guns are needed for pro-
lection from wild beasts is too absurd to no.
tice.
esuch law will keep out of the woods dur
ing the summer season class OF men who
have undoubtedly been the cause OF many OF
our forest fires.
81 can suggest NO change in the fire warden
law, but sufficient emergency fund should be
available to work with during an extremely
long dry season. We should have sufficient
fund to patrol all our waterways and thor
, oughfares. While but $7,olo was expended
during the season OF 1907, 1t will require at
least $4,000 to do efficient work for season
like 1908. Such . season is rare, but we
should be prepared to meet 1t when it does
come. The sum Of $4,000 is expended annu-
ally for the protection OF our game. Is Names
game more valuable Shan its forestss"
