ENDORSED AT HOME.
Su oh Proof as This Should Convince An,
Belfast Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local citizen is
the best proof that can be produced. None
better, none stronger can be had. When
man comes forward and testifes to his fellow
you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced
or he would not do SO. Telling ones expert
ence when it is for the public good is an act of
kindness that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident of Bel
fast adds one or more to the many cases of

mended Doan's Kidney Pills through the Belfast
papers several years ago, have continued to
advise my friends and acquaintance to use
them. know of many cases in which they
have brought about prompt relief and lasting
cures. My testimony..was based on my personal
experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. They
cured me of backache and other troubles aris-
ing from disordered condition of my kidneys
and the cure has since proven to be perma-
nent one."

Many readers of the ''more than
million a week" Saturday Evening Post
are familiar with the Wallingford stories
Wallingford, country youth, falls in
with some fakirs at fair, gets initiated
into the shell game and other games for
separating people from their money, and
after few successful ventures at home
sets out to 'do' the country at large.
Anything suits his purpose, from card
game to floating a stock company. He
could visit new field, issue a prospectus
for a railroad to the moon and sell an I'M
limited amount of per cent gold bonds,
principal and interest guaranteed by him
self and his accomplices, the latter dis
guised as capitalists. People would mort
gage their homes to invest in such vision
AIRY schemes, and J. Wallingford would
depart with the proceeds. He specially
enjoyed fleeing the same people sec.
ond and even third time. So familiar
have these stories become that Walling.

ford is now the recognized name for'this
class of swindlers, and in recent issue
Of the Saturday Evening" Post is an edi-
torial captioned 'Doing Business with
Wallingfords. The closing paragraph
is suggestive:
People who enter into any sort of bust
ness engagement with members of the
numerous Wallingford family, Of high or
low degree, take large chance of find
ing out by intimate experience just how
the Wallingford genius works. Broadly
speaking, we doubt whether anybody
ever got MUCK satisfaction out of doing
business with a liar
When after many years of fruitfess
agitation Belfast secured system of
water works sewerage system became
a necessity. Parks & Wheeler, the con-
tractors for the water works, prepared a
detailed plan for sewer system, and the
policy was adopted of building a section
each year, as the finances of the city
permitted. The Importance of this work
from sanitary point of view cannot be
over estimated. Cess pools and well
water contaminated by sewage are pro-
life sources of disease and menace to
the public health. Since the agitation
for good roads began this very important
matter has apparently been lost sight of,
and there are sections of the city without
the sewers provided for in the plan of
Parks & Wheeler. Only two short sec
lions of sewer have been built in the past
few years-one on Park street, where
city water has not been introduced, and
one on Court street, north from Spring
street. The latter has not been entered,
and can be used by only one house, the
two other houses on the west side of the
street having entered respectively the
Spring and Franklin street sewers. On
the east side is the Unitarian church, and
one house, and neither could use this
sewer as the grade would not permit
their entering it. 1t is said that no as
sessments have been paid on the Park
street sewer and the one assessment
paid on the Court street sewer could not
have been legally collected, as the grade
would not permit of the use of the sewer
by the owner of the property. A piece
of rock-surfaced road, or a section OF
new sidewalk, judiciously placed, is no
doubt more effective as vote-getter
than sewer that performs its sanitary
work underground, and in each case the
city pays the bills out of money con-
tributed by property owners. Meanwhile
one of the best residential sections of the
city is without sewerage and has to de-
pend upon cess-pools, which are every
where considered menace to. health.

TIE iefeat Of the Hastings bill will be
vsrisusly regaried. 1t depends altogether
upon The standpoint The friends of en-
forcer1ent will grieve and those who favor
notification will rejoice. The rumseller
breads a jail sentence above all else, and
there can be no question but that this
measure would have been more effective
than any number of Sturgis deputies
Gov. Fernald's veto will displease the
temperance element. He argues agains
depriving the courts of ga certain dis
cretlonary power in imposing sentences
in criminal cases.; but the Hastings bill
took away this discretionary power in
anly one class of criminal cases, viz,
violations of the prohibitory law. Now
it is well known that we have had Judges
on The bench who were opposed to the
prohibitory law and to its enforcement,
and their discre tionary power was used
to protect the rumseller Notorious Of
Tenders whose conviction had been Sc
cured with much difficulty have had their
cases put over from term to term and
finally mol pressed. The law has been
enforced in one county and not in an.
other. One court has administered even
handed justice, another has shown leni-
ency to law-breakers. This condition
should rot exist. The law should be en-
forced equally in every section of the
State, and all offenders, whether of high
or low degree, should receive the same
punishment.

STOMACH AGONY.
Abolish the Cause, and Misery and Distress
of Indigestion Will Vanish.

Can Indigestion be cured? Hundreds of
thousands of people who suffer from belching
of gas, biliousness, sour stomach, fullness nau-
sea, shortness of breath, bad taste in mouth,
foul breath, nervousness and other distressing
symptoms, are asking themselves that question
daily.
And if these same doubling dyspeptics could
only read the thousands of sincere letters from
people who once suffered as badly as they do
now, but who have been quickly and perma-
nently cured by the use of Mi-o-na, the mighty
dyspepsia remedy that cures by removing the
cause, they would go to A. A. Howes & Co. this
very day and get large box of Mi-o-na tablets.
The price of Mi-o-na tablets is only so cents
and A. A. Howes & Co. guarantees them to
cure Indigestion or money back.
Thin or leae or scrawney people will find in
Mi-o-na maker of flesh and blood, because it
causes the stomach to extract more nutritious
matter from the food.
