An Old Maine Fort.

One who has occasion to cross the
Kennebec river by ferryboat from
Dresden to Richmond may see at low
tide, where the ferry lands on the
Richmond side, few timbers which
still mark the site of the wharf built
for a landing for old Fort Richmond.
The fort itself, built in Ills. stood in a
northwesterly direction from the
wharf. Both the fort and its landing
are clearly shown in the Plymouth
company map of 1850. The structure
was not only house of defense, with
It's blockhouses, barracks and store
houses, but II was also a truckhouse
for traffic with the Indians OF the Ken
aebec and its accounts are still pre-
served The building of Fort Shirley.

AN OLD TIMER

A woman who has used Postum

experience the wisdom of US
ing Postum in place of coffee If one
values health and a clear brain. She
says:
AT the time Postum was first put
on the market | was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia. and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum. l
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste. So continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me OF its value. for / got well OF my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
MY husband had been drinking cot.
fee all his life until il had affected
his nerves terribly, and / persuaded
him to shift to Postum. II was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. 1t Ger.
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate. but steadily and honest.
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
ITO make a long story short, our en-.
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results. as shown in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed a rather unexpected i'm
A2sment in brain and nerve power"
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in very
marked manner. There's a Reason. "
