At present there is but one breeding
place of the elder duck in the United
States that is Old Mans Island, sit
uated in the town Of Cutler in Maine
1t is one and One-half miles east OF
the Cross Island Life Saving station
and was leased by the State with the
understanding that it was to be used
for the protection, propagation and
preservation of all wild birds. Cap
tain Fred Small, who is connected with
the life saving station has also been
appointed warden to look after these
birds. The State through the efforts
of the Audubon society who are adyo-
eating their cause is trying to preserve
three species of wild fowl, the elder
duck, the putin and the laughing gulls
from determination in Maine. Their
eggs are large and very palatable and
highly priced by fishermen for food.
Those Interested are asking the coop
Grafton Of sunners and fishermen to
preserve the birds.

The poland kettle controversy of

, The pot kettle controversy of
Bryan and Parker wakes acrimonious
and entertaining. The gentleman from
Esopus began it by saying few
things in sarcastic and contemptuous
Wien about Bryan's scheme for the
government guarantee of bank de-
rosits. The gentleman from Nebraska
retorted that he took his medicine in
Parker in 1907 and added few COM
ments about the Democratic conven-
ton and campaign of that year which
had more vinegar than molasses in
them. Now Judge Parker fires
another hot shot in return. referring
to the way in which Bryan wrecked
the party in 1886 and has kept it
wrecked ever since. 1t is now Bryan's
turn again. This sort of thing
naturally causes deep grief in the
Republican camp.

FROM THE PINE WOODS.
Hyomei's Aromatic Air is Guaranteed
to Cure Catarrh or Cost Nothing.

Hyomei is natures true cure for
catarrh. There is no stomach dosing
in using Hyomei. no more than there is
when you go to the mountains or the
sea-shore to get relief from lung
troubles.
When using the Hyomei treatment,
the air you breathe is like that on the
mountains high above sea level where
the pine woods fill the air with
aromatic healing that gives health and
strength to those suffering from
diseases of the respiratory organs.
Breathed through the neat pocket in :
haler that comes with every outfit. the
healing balsams of Hyomei reach the
most remote air cells of the throat,
nose and lungs. destroying all
catarrhal germs and giving quick relief
and cure.
Hyomei has performed almost
miraculous cures of catarril, often
restoring health in chronic cases that
had given up all hope of recovery. It's
best action is at the start of the
disease, when the breath is becoming
offensive and when discharges from
the nose. drOppings in the throat and
frequent sneezing' or spasmodic
coughing begin to make life a burden
At the first symptom of catarrhal
trouble, use Hyomei and see how
quickly you get relief and cure.
The complete outfit costs but 81 90
and is sold by Bowditch, Webster &.
Co, under guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville

AS newly drafted the Aldrich bill will

visions This provision will insure it
absolute soundness, and the confidence

The bill has it seems to us been very
much improved in another important
respect. In its original draft, the
municipal bonds which could be used as
a basis for currency issues We're con-
fined to cities of $4,000 or more Inhabi-
tants. In the new draft this restric-
ton will be removed. The bond OF
any Maine city today is practically as
good as a government bond, and, under
the amended provisions OF the Aldrich

In its new form we believe that the
Aldrich bill will escape much of the
criticism it has. thus far, encountered.

and is hard at work. The name OF the
association Is the LincOln-Douglas

pleted. One speaker will deliver the

by a contingent of the civil war 8u-
sicians. Invitations will be sent out to
all persons known to have attended
the debate and for whom special seats
will be reserved.
1t is the intention Of the society to
reproduce as far as possible the vari-
Gus public features of the original de-
bate, which would include professions,
typical banners and special illumina-
lions at night. Quite a number who
attended the debate survive, and some
stiH reside In Quincy.
The last of the seven debates be-
