There Is more Catarrn IN this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years

treatment, pronounced it incurable.

The snow storm Sunday was reported
all the way from 10 to "a inches. But
little road breaking was done Monday on
account of the wind, and consequently
there was no mail Tuesday they were
broken out, but so bad was the travel
ing that although two horses were used
the mail was one and one-half hours
late. 1t was much the heaviest snow
storm of the season, and if it stays on no
more will be wanted for the winter.
DR.. Talmage used to say there is no
such thing as happen so, but Frank
Morgan thinks the hunters luck is one
exception at least. He has formerly
been very successful hunting deer, gen.
orally securing his complement during
the open season, but last fall bad luck
seemed to follow him, and although he
tried all through the open season not
deer succumbed to his rifle.
Quite similar was his luck at first fox
hunting. For a while he lost the fox,
trap and all, but later fortune seemed to
smile on him so that one day he captured
four and did fairly well to the end of the
season He caught part of his game
in wire snares, and when he went to
take up the last two, being some dis
lance away, he found fox in one and
mink in the other, the two estimated to
be worth eleven dollars.
Several weeks ago Chas. B. Brooks
came up here from bis home in Bristol,
partly on visit and at the same time
taking orders for tea and coffee as men,
toned at the time. He has been with
his folks about here ever since, has had
several i'll turns during the time, and
now we learn he is with his son, Rev. G.
A. Brooks of Norway, and unable to re-
turn home.
Chicken pox is still with US and usual
ly goes hard this winter. At present it
is Mrs. Newton Bryant, and her son Will
mer, who are prostrated; the mother at
the same time being troubled with heart
disease, and the same is true in regard
TO Clinton Cole, who is nearly SIS years
of age.
No, John, we never read Dante's In
ferno since it never happened to come
this way, but have read Josephus' letter
to the Greeks on Hades, and have been
trying the last fifty years to find out
where he learned such a heathenish
doctrine, since it cannot be found in the
Old Testament nor in the Apocrypha.
Possibly he deduced 1t from the Talmud,
which we never read; but how person
of common sense can take any stock in
such an absurd, not to say monstrous,
doctrine, it is hard to understand.
We never can expect to compete with
Los Angeles in planting potatoes early,
although they begin to sprout in the eel
lar, thus reminding us that spring and
planting time will be here some day.

A POSITIVE CURE
FOR INDIGESTION

If you have indigestion, your food
ferments In the stomach and bowels. 1t
does more: 1t decays, and the nutritious
matter which should 60 to make new
blood decays with 1t, and this leads to
an impoverished condition of the blood,
to nervousness, biliousness, constipa-
ton, sick headache, bad breath which
disgusts your friends, and other dis
agreeable and unpleasant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest, but ferments
and ofttimes rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix the
food with the digestive juices.
MONA is responsible for tens OF
thousands of cures. In fact, 1t is such q
positive cure for indigestion and all
stomach troubles that 1t is guaranteed
by F. A. Shurtleff & Co. to cure or mon.
ey back. The price of a large box OF
Mona tablets is so cents, and they are
sure to promptly relieve the worst case
of indigestion or gastritis. Try them.

The Lincoln Centenary.
STATE OF MAINE, EDUCATIONAL DE-
PARTMENr.

STATE OF MAINE, EDUCATIONAL De-
PARTMENT.
AUGUSTA, MAINE.
The most notable anniversary of the
present year is the Lincoln Centenary.
The life of no other American has had
a more powerful influence than that of
President Lincoln in the molding Of
national character.
His services to the nation rank among
the greatest achievements of the century
in which he lived, while he has been
universally held worthy of rank among
the truly great men of the werld.
1t is strongly urged that on Friday,
February 18th, all the public schools OF
the state join in exercises commemora-
tive of the life of Lincolr.
Such exercises might include the read
ing of the Gettysburg Address, of poems
and abstracts of sketches relating to his
work and to that period of our national
history in which he was the commanding
figure.
Original essays upon appropriate
topics may be prepared and read by
students of high and grammar schools.
Very many of our citizens would no
doubt respond willingly to the invitation
of teachers to address the pupils Of their
schools upon the critical events OF the
Civil War.
Especially appropriate as part OF
this observance would be the presenta-
ton to the school of q Lincoln portrait
or cast, OF framed copy Of the Gettys-
burg Address.
viii you kindly take these sugges-
lions under consideration at once and
bring them to the attention Of your
teachers, pupils and citizens?

State Supt. Of Public Schools.
