A Communication.

My Dear tOufnal.
| also have a grievance against the
L., A. & w. Street Railway. | am sor-
~ it is so. | dislike to find fault and
l would not for myself alone. but in
behalf of a long suffering public | de-
sire TO state a few facts. Certain Hal
lowell patrons have recently laid be-
fore the management of the road COM
plants which have arisen in HalloWell
and the reply was of such a nature
as to require too much investigation by
the general public. 1t was hardly salts
factory.
I dislike to find fault because the
Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville Street
Railway is one of the best constructed.
best equipped and best managed roads
either in or out of the State. The cars
are elegant the conductors polite and
attentive and the general service
splendid In fact. the conductors on the
Lewiston line almost oVerdO the thing
and 7 want them to distinctly under
stand that a man Sc. SO or 106 is Just
as spry as anybody and needs no help
to get aboard. Thanks just the same
| do not complain OF schedule time or
fast time; in fact, the cars go too slow
for me-a mile a minute would be my
delight. Oh, no! There is no complaint
from me on that ground. il is the I'M
repaired and unwarmed waiting rooms
and the lack of a proper waiting room
in Augusta, one of the most important
points on the road. When the Granite
Hill station was first built it was nice
and we'll warmed in winter: now it is
ND ,Lo = \
health when one has to wait long: but,
must people who try to be decent and
have proper regard to the rights Of
others be made to suffer because a few
careless or mischievOus boys-pcssbly
some of them men grown-break out
glass, kick out sheathing and heating
arrangements? l do not blame the
management for feeling indignant, still,
think their duty to the general pub
lie ought to require them to keep this,
the Grove street and all important sta
tons in good repair and we'll warmed
in winter. If damage is done. better
efforts should be made to find out and
punish the guilty.
But there is a greater grievance to
me and it is because there is no proper
waiting room in Augusta. The one now
occupied is too small: it will accom-
modate but few and scores OF men, Wo-
men and children have to stand out in
the cold waiting for the cars. Mr. Par
fridge is very kind. no doubt. to open
his place of business to the patrons OF
the road, but when he closes patrons Of
the road are compelled to stand shiv-
ering in the cold, walk the streets or
intrude themselves into places where
they are not wanted. More than once
have tested the courtesy of Angus
ta's courteous landlords or walked the
corridor of the postoffice, where signs
stare one in the face saying, "Loafers
not allowed here" A good berth in q
lookup might not be bad. My dear man.
agement, this ought not so to be. There
ought to be a good, large comfortable
waiting room such as the beautiful
and fast growing city of Augusta ac-
tually needs. So say l, and so say all.

Cause for Alarm
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptoms That Should Not
Be Disregarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire
of the system for food necessary to
replace natural body waste. Loss
Of appetite or stomach distress after
eating indicates Indigestion or dys-
pepsia. Overeating is habit very
dangerous to persons good general
health, and Unsuitable appetite is a
common symptoms of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
a disordered stomach. and many
people daily contract serious mala-
dies simply through disregard or
abuse of the stomach.
We urge every one suffering
from any stomach arrangement. in
digestion or dyspepsia, whether acute
or chronic, to try ReXall Dyspepsia
Tablets. with the distinct understand

reasonable use of this medicine they
are not satisfied with the results. We

them.
We honestly believe ReXall Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be without equal

policy was dated May %, 1908 About

going to do?" And the agent replied.
You want to get busy and go to some
other agent, you have got three
hours" Rosen then asked the agent
if he couldn't place the risk in anoth-
er of his companies but the agent said
he could not. and he would have to go
elsewhere Thereupon Rosen said,
well, Charles, you can do better than
I can. Won't you do it for me?" and
the agent said, Il will try if you want
me to, I can't say that can but I can
try will do it if | can"
The agent at once entered into ne
gotiations with another agent for
other insurance but at 4 o'clock on the

Automobile goggles for the navy is the
latest thing. Men who are required to do
duty on the deck of the Flusser, the
swiftest little torpedo boat destroyer in
the navy, have introduced the goggles
into the service. They found them mighty
handy to keep the spray out of their eyes
as they swept along at 80 knots an hour.
and likewise the smoke from the tunnels
that open out just about on a level with
their heads So useful have the goggles
been found that they may become general
on the smaller craft of the navy.

Use LINONINE
(Flax-Seed Emulsion)
For Cough, Colds
Bronchitis.

Countless grave sicknesses are rec
ogniZed by the medical profession as
having their direct or indirect cause in

the flax seed emulsion, is the most
helpful thing in the world to YOU
Medicine knows no surer healing agent
for inilamed mucous membranes (the
medical term for the Innings of nose,

Lnonine is curing colds coughs,
bronchitis and consumption it is also
building up the body as nothing else

For scrubbing, house cleaning and dish
washing Fels-Naptha soap is Just as superior
as it is for washing clothes. 1t does all any
soap will do-besides lots Of things lmpos-
sible with other soaps.
For instance, it whitens floors in addition
to cleaning them; takes dirt off vanished
surfaces of hard wood without dulling the
varnish; brightens dingy paint work, and
brings out the colors in oil-cloth and lin
oleum;-and in doing this cleaning you
use cloth instead Of scrubbing brush:
Easier, isn't it? 1t will remove grease and
stains from carpets and rugs as thoroughly
as can be done by professional cleaner
1t will even take out blood stains-thc
severest test a soap can be put to.
Full directions for doing all these things
the Fels-Naptha way are printed in the
wrapper-the red and green wrapper.

Karriman's ''Rest Cure"
At Arden Absolute.
Rain Keeps Him in Mountain
Retreat Thursday.
Superintendent of His Estate Says
He Is Looking Much Better.

Arden, n. Y, Aug. 26.-Whatever the
actual prognosis for Mr.. Harriman's
recovery, it is evident that his family
has determined that he shall make no
further sacrifices of vitality in the eff
fort to reassure the public and buoy
up the stock market. No armed guards
patrol hs\ estate, but for all effective
purposes of human intercourse, his is
olaton on his mountain top is abso-
lutte as any devised for an Eastern po-
tentate. Except the selected few of his
own immediate encourage. not soul
sees him and no word from the outer
world renetrates his seclusion. His
rest cure is absolute. All approaches
to the grounds are picketed and add
mission is unqualifiedy denied to out
siders. The telephone operator at Ar
den with access on a direct line to the
house, has orders to make no connec-
tions from the outside. The mountain
and private funicular railway to the
heights are both forbidden to every
one but the household. 1t is impossible
to reach Mr.. Hartman either directly
OF indirectly unless by his own wish
or that of his family, communicated
from within the gates.
DR.. Lyle, the family physician,
bridged the gap today with brief ac-
count of his patients progress. Mr..
Hartman, he said, had been confined
to the house for the day by the rains
which shrouded all the Ramapo noun
tain, but his eager inquisitive mind had
been busy with the construction work
still in progress on his new home. And
there DIR. Lyle laughed.
IF a certain physician would per-
nit he said, "Mr. Hartman would
be out on the job today, bossing the
finishing touches on the inclined rail-
way himself.
"Mr. Hartman passed a good night
and ate hearty breakfast at 10 o'clock
this morning His appetite Is better and
he relishes good food and plenty of it.
His present condition is due to a
general nervous breakdown and there
is nothing he needs more than abso-
lutte rest
Judge Robert s. Lovett, who has
been mentioned as Mr.. Harriman's pos
sible successor, came to Arden this af-
ternoon for, another conference. Judge
Lovett positively refused to discuss to-
day the purpose of his frequent visit.
1t is thought, however, that with his
first lieutenant SO often at his elbow,
Mr.. Hartman canont be wholly out OF
touch with the market or completely

A|driCh and Macveigh.
AIdrich Believes in Withholding
Bond Issue for the Present.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 26.-President
TAFT had two-hours- and-a-half talk
;hiS afternoon with Senator Nelson w.
Aidrich and Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh. Senator Aldrich is about to
take up the important task of adjusting
the monetary system of the country
and it was in connection with his work
as chairman of the monetary commits
sion that he was called in conference
by the President today.
Mr.. Taft, before framing his own
legislative plan for the coming session
of Congress, was anxious to ascertain
whether or not the monetary commits
sion will be ready to report its recon-
mendations this winter. 1t is under
stood that a definite answer was not
given today, but the chances are that
the monetary commission will not be
CONTINUED on Paga Two).
