why SALvES FAILS
TO CURE ECZEMA.
anherttsrmrnH.
They Clog the Pores Only q Liquid Car
Reach the Inner Ska.

Since the old fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different salves
have been tried for skin diseases. But it
has been found that these salves only clog
the pores and can not penetrate to the
inner skin below the epidermis, where the
eczema germs are lodged.
This-the quality of penetrating-prob-
ably explains the tremendous success OF
the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil
Of wintergreen as compounded in d. D. D.
Prescription. After ten years of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to recon-
mend D. D. d. Prescription at 900 bot
tie, but for the benefit Of those who have
never tried the prescription, we arranged
with d. d. d. Laboratories OF Chicago for
a special large trial bottle at Is cents ON
special offer now. This first bottle ought
to convince every sufferer, and, at any
rate, it will surely take away the itch at
once. E. E. MOORE, Ellsworth, Me.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER II, 1909.

Electric Railway Charter Extended.
A hearing was held at the Office OF
the railway commissioners in Augusta
last Thursday on the petition of the
Mt. Desert Transit Co. for an extern
sion of it's charter for three years.
The petitioners were represented by
L. B. Deasy and E. s. Clark, of Bar
Aar5sr, and the remonstrants by
John 3. Redman and E. E. Brady, of
Ellsworth.
The remonstrants contended that
the charter had been in existence for
about three years, and as during that
time no part of the proposed road
had been built, the charter should not
be extended except for very limited
time. They also asserted that il the
Transit company's charter were not in
existence, other parties would obtain
charter and build trolley line from
Ellis worth or Bangor to Mount Desert
island.
The petitioners showed that while
the Transit company had not built it's
road. it had raised and expended for
such necessary purposes as surveys
and terminals about $4,000, thus
showing it's good faith, and urged that
of the many railroad companies
which for the past twenty FIVE years
have been chartered and authorized
to build railroads all over Hancock
county, this is the only company
which has ever raised or expended
any money for any purpose.
The petitioners also argued that
as no new charter granted by the
legislature can 60 into effect until
about July 1, 1911, there could be no
reasonable objection in any event to
extending the charter to that date.
From the discussion it appeared
that the petitioners and remonstrants
were both anxious for an electric
railroad from Ellsworth to Mount
Desert island, and would welcome any
person willing to put capital into such
an enterprise. The parties interested
in the Transit company are, however,
opposed to the location of trolley
lines in the public roads on the east
ern side OF the island, and believe
that whenever such railroad is built,
it should follow its own line indie
pendently of the highways.
The hearing resulted in the com
missioners' granting an extension Of
the charter for eighteen months-one-
half the time asked for.
As is we'll known, the late John 8.
Kennedy had the largest financial in
terest in the Transit company, and
Just what effect his death will have on
the plans of the company is not yet
known. 1t is probable, however, that
Che company will be glad to dispose Of
its charter and the property it has ac-
quired to anyone who will guarantee
to carry OF the project substantially
according to the plans adopted.
That an electric railway from Els
worth on to Mt. Desert island would
be of inestimable benefit not only to
Ellsworth but also to the inhabitants
of the island goes without saying, and
the public probably cares less who
builds it than that is is built.

A COW moose trotted fast quarter mile
ON the main road in West Ellsworth Sat-
urday afternoon. The moose came into
the road at the foot of Dollard's hill. DIR.
Lewis Hodgkins, driving down the fur
Their hill from the upper district, was the
first to see it, The moose struck up the
hill toward Ellsworth at trot, and DIR.
Hodgkins, who thought then it was a
horse, caught himself wishing he owned a
horse which could trot Dollard's hill at a
2.30 clip. ID. G. Trueworthy was in front
Of his house talking with John Meader,
who sat in his wagon, when the moose
doomed up over the hill, coming like
race horse. The moose came TO within
seventy-fiye feet OF then, then took the
fence opposite the house and disappeared
in the woods. The moose are getting
yearly more numerous in this vicinity.
One day recently West Surry man saw
two bull moose fighting in the main road
near his home. He shot one OF them.
Only day or two ago, Mrs. Stackpole,
living on the North Bend road, received
an afternoon call from bull moose which
ate apples from a tree within ten feet OF
the house.

TWO BIG WATER TANKS BURST.
Many Homes Are Wrecked in Parker
burg, w. Va.

Two persons were killed, three 9TH
ers probably fatally injured, many
more slightly hurt, ten or more houses
completely wrecked and forty more
badly damaged when two large water
tanks which supplied the city Of Par
kersburg, w. Va, with water burst at
$3.50 o'clock Friday morning.
When the tanks burst an immense
stream OF water rushed down Prospect
hill, sweeping everything before it,
Houses were swept into the streets and
residents knocked9from the beds, One
whole family, while asleep in an up
stairs room, were carried down the
street seventy-five yards, their house
being split almost into ribbons, yet all
escaped, except one girl, who had a
collar bone broken.
The two tanks contained the entire
city supply of water and a famine now
is imminent. The damage will amount
to between 100000 and $250,000. st.
Johns Lutheran church was almost
completely demolished. but through It's
sacrifice many lives were spared and
much damage prevented, as it was en-
tirely in the path of the water.
The breaking of the tanks is believed
to have been caused by some miscre-
ant, who dynamited them, as there
were two explosions card.
