A CASE OF INFLAMMATORY RHEU
MATISM.

"Some ten weeks ago, sudden pain came in
my right arm,'' writes Mrs. Marguerite Rau,
629 Franklin ST., York, Pa. ''The doctor called
it niammatory rheumatism. For about seven
weeks l doctored with different remedies with
out getting any relief. My arm was swollen
from the elbow to the tips of my fingers and
was all black and looked as though there was
something drawing at the elbow and as if it
would break open. The pain was so great that
could not sleep. finally bought bottle of
Sloan's Liniment and that gave me relief at
once. I have used three Csc. bottles and am
now using Soc. bottle.
l feel that my recovery is due to Sloan's Lin
iment 1t did more for me in three weeks than
all the other doctoring ever did,"
Before it slips your memory buy bottle of
Sloan's Liniment. There are three sizes, &c.,
Soc and $780, Every druggist carries it in

John Clair Minot.

The Kennebec Journal is to lose one OF
its most efficient editors. Mr.. John
Clair Minot, who has been associate
editor for the past dozen years, has &C.
cepted position on the editorial staff of
the Youths Companion, Boston, and
will enter upon his duties there about
the middle Of May. This is not the first
contribution the journal has made to the
Companion, as the Boston papers pres
emit editor, Mr.. Edward Stanwood, grad
uated from the Journal office. We dis
like to lose Mr.. Minot from the press of
the Kennebec valley. A young man of
culture and refinement, a facile and
pleasing writer, be has made great strides
in journalism the past few years; and it
is no wonder our Boston friends, in look
ing around among the bright and shining
ones, picked him out from among those
who have made good in their chosen
profession. Somerset Reporter.

First Catch of Mackerel.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 16. The first catch
st mackerel of the season was taken into Nor
folk, Va, today by the Gloucester schooner
Electric Flash, according to telegram received
here tonight from Capt Bissett, master Of the
vessel. Capt. Bissett reported the arrival of
his schooner with 13 barrels of large mackerel,
caught 80 miles east of Cape Henry.
The catch of the Electric Flash was shipped
to New York. Between 60 and 10 other Glou-
cester vessels are following the schools and the
supply of mackerel is expected to be constant
from now on.
Although the fleet started out early this year
in the hope of getting on the track Of the
mackerel schools, the season has been disap-
pointing up to the present time, and no vessel
had previously reported catch. 1t is figured
from two to three weeks later than in former
years.

They will Open up Rich Agricultural Dis
trict

trict.
AUGUSTA, Me, April IA. Petitions for
three important branches were received
from the Bangor and Aroostook railroad
company today by the State board of
railroad commissioners
The first is to connect at Masardis and
extend to Stockholm, a distance Of 48
miles entirely in Aroostook county. 1t is
intended to pass through Ashland, Map
Teton, Washburn, Wade and Perham.
The second connection is between Fort
Kent and St. Francis plantation near the
rivers, distance of Is miles. The
Fort Kent through Frenchville, NADIA
distance of forty miles.
granted by the legislature the past six
tention of the company to proceed to
future or as soon as locations are grant
ed by the commissioners.
Pres. Cram of the Bangor and Aroos-
took railroad at Bangor today stated
that the proposed branches of the road
are intended to open up the rich agricul-
tural district along the st. John river
valley in the north of Aroostook county
and the well settled section in the centre
of the county.
1t is probable that work on one of the
branches will commence this summer
and be rushed to completion. The Off
Gals of the road cannot state which
branch will be put through first. 1t is
considered here that the new mileage
will be great boon to Aroostook county
and to Bangor.

know OF no better way OF answering
him than by asking him in return, Does
anything else concern you more? Very
naturally and justly the farmer is proud
OF his independence. AS the President
has said in his letter to you upon this oc-
casion: Successfully managed family
farms give to the father, the mother,
and the children better opportunities for
useful work and for happy life than
any other occupation. The farm is rich
in opportunity enjoyed under slight
restraint. The farmer is less disturbed
than anybody else about other peoples
money. Yet all this independence and all
this opportunity must have basis some
where. This basis is unquestionably the
farmers inheritance in the natural re-
sources of the land. When we say of a
man, generally, that he is independent,
or man of independent means, the very
last thing that we mean is that he has no
wealth. We mean that he has the wealth
which makes him independent. And so
TIE IdIHleI Ids Tie wealth. WHICH H1dheS
him independent, and this wealth is the
forests, the soil, the water, and the
minerals. By the direct aid of the soil
and the water he produces his crops; in
directly he draws also upon the forests
and the mines. The depletion of the soil,
and the want or excess of moisture, cut
down his crops. In precisely the same
way he will feel the change when the
price of iron or of coal rises, or when it
costs more to get the wood that he needs.
So true is this, that though wood has
rarely been regarded as farm crop, the
farmer is coming to see that it really is,
and that good woodlot is the source of
both saving and profit. Often, indeed,
the way the farmer can make the best of
all his land is to grow wood on part of
it.
But the need of wood for fences, for
fuel, and for building material is only
part of the farmers dependence upon
the forest. Just as the New England
the water which he uses to drive his mill,
so the farmer. needs the forest to protect
the soil which he cultivates Stripping the
forest from the wrong place, that is,
from the slopes on which nothing else
grows so well, has exposed the soil of
these slopes to the wash of the rains,
with the result that at least one billion
tons of fertile soil is swept away by the
freshets, every year, and lost in the sea.
Too often, the soil washed from quilted
hills, sandy and infertile, is spread over
the rich bottom lands by the flood
waters, and they are made hopelessly
barren.
1.-The individual farmer is not always
himself responsible for these results of
wasteful forest use, that is, he has not
always brought them on by his own
positive action. But he is responsible if
he fails to grasp and act upon the truth
in this matter when it is laid before him,
when he has not asserted his rights as a
citizen against the injury done to this
New England of ours which is his home
Thus both his pocket-book and his public
spirit should impel the New. England
farmer to insist upon the conservation
of the New England forests"

BOARD FILES ANSWER.
Claims Full Jurisdiction in Granting
Medical Licenses.

The District board of medical SUPER
vision today filed answer to the rule re-
Gently issued against them to show cause
why they should not be compelled to issue
a license to DR.. Henry Honeyman Hazen,
a Baltimore physician. to practice medi-
cine in the District
DR.. HaZen. in his petition, declared that
honeymoon trip of five months In
Europe had broken a continuous practice
required by the law. and that this was
being used against him by the board
which declined to grant a license to him
The boards answer declares that no
final refusal has been made by ii, and
that after granting a rehearing at the
request of Attorney George f. Sullivan
representing the petitioner. it directed its
secretary to secure certain desired infor-
nation from Baltimore. Since obtaining
this information the board has not held a
session. and therefore the matter is still
pending and undsposed.
Under this condition of things il Is
urged that the board alone has exclusive
Jurisdiction as to the findings of fact. and
may not be coerced herein by the court.
Assistant Corporation Counsel White
represents the board.
