MUSCULAR
RHEUMATISM
A Cure at Kennebunkport Which
Proves the Claims Made
for the Tonic Treat.

Nothing better demonstrates that
rheumatism is disease Of the blood
than the fact that it is hereditary in Ger
tain families. It may not develop until
conditions of cold and dampness favor
1t because nature is always fighting to
keep the body in health. When disease
does get the upper hand and rheuma-
tism IS seated in the blood, a remedy
that will revltalize and renew the blood
Is the simplest and best means of relief.
Mr.. D. Warren Hadlock, of r. F. d.
No. 1, Kennebunkport, Me-, was cured
of a severe case of muscular rheumatism
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills. =. If you are
suffering with rheumatism, you cannot
do better than take the remedy which
cured him. Mr.. Hadlock is now the letter
carrier on r. F. D. No. /, and is widely
known at Kennebunkport. He says:
II became afflicted with muscular
rheumatism through exposure while
working in a saw mill and suffered for
four years. The rheumatism was in
my hands, arms and shoulders. NY
hands would swell to an abnormal size
and the pain in my fingers and wrists
was so intense that would have to cry.
was unable to use my hands even to
comb my hair. was practically help
less. The pains were sharp and knife
like. During the latter part of my
sickness my heart was affected.
II was treated by several doctors and
was given treatment with electricity.
They all thought they could cure me but
although was under the care of doc
tor for the greater part of the four years
I received but little help. A neighbor
urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills as they had cured her of rheuma-
tism. I finally did so and was cured
after a thorough treatment with them
The pills were the first thing that had
ever done me any good and my cure is
permanent.
The fact that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will cure rheumatism is so well
established that it is difficult to under
stand how any sufferer can afford to
neglect the remedy. These pills are
absolutely safe and harmless.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt Of price, SO cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

TAX LOGS, NOT TREES,
Is Recommendation by President anc
MI. Conservation Commission.

The plan of timberland taxation,
which d. H. Darling of Gardiner has
advocated persistently for year OF
more, has received the strongest pos
sible support in the report of the Natl
Commission On the conservation of our
natural resources, and by Pres. Roose-
Velt's message transmitting same to
Congress.
Pres. Roosevelt in his message
quotes the report as follows:
Present tax laws prevent reforesta-
ton of cut over lands, and the perpetu-
alton of existing forests by use.
AN annual tax upon the land it.
self, exclusive of the timber, and a
tax upon the timber when cut is well
adapted to actual conditions of forest
investment, and is practicable and GER
tain
1T is far better that forest land
should pay moderate tax permanent
ly than that it should pay an excess
sive revenue temporarily and then
cease to yie.d at ALL
Second only in Importance to good
fire laws well enforced is the enact
ment of tax laws which will permit
the perpetuation of existing forests
by USE
The report of this commission. of
which National Forester Clifford
Pinchot is chairman, should have the
greatest weight in influencing the peo-
pie of Maine to decide rightly the most
vital question now before them, for it
is a report of experts made with no
other end in view than the greatest
good of the most people for the longest
time.
AS 4 pioneer in this movement Mr..
Darling is to be congratulated.

NEW TOYS ARE FEATURE
EVERYTHING TO PLEASE THE CHILDISH
FANCY AND GRONN-UPS TO Be
OUT THIT WEEK

/ Thanksgiving is just ahead and
Christmas only a little farther
away, but manifestation of the
holiday atmosphere is already to
be seen in many Of the stores.
Merchants with special wares for
| the season are anxious this year
to make a reality of early holiday
shopping, By the end of this
week, it is said, their displays will
be in order. The earlier the buy
ing the more satisfactory it is for
the dealer and the customer.
Nothing so much gives the Yule-
tide air as toys-those realities of
Wonderland that delight the child
ish fancy and strangely attract the
grown-ups. Without them Christ
mas wouldn't be Christmas at all,
and this year they are going to be
more irresistible than ever.
Among the newest Of them all are
the toy moving picture machines,
right from the TOY Maker of
Neuremburg." They sell from 81
up. They are equipped with films
showing many different scenes,
and with light behind them
flash pictures to please any young
ster.
A wonderful toy also is a train
that stops itself, rings a bell and
moves on again without the aid of
human hand. For the little girls
there are exact limitations of the
folding go-cart that babies ride in.
And then of course there is the
always-new Teddy bear. Presi-
dents may come and go but he
stays on, and it is doubtful if even
the Billy 'pOssum can supplant
him. The 'possum has considera-
bic length of tail, seemingly
good enough place for the young
ster to keep a grip on, but maybe
he likes the Teddy bear better be-

the best ever seen in Columbus.
This was all on the inside the

five hundred negroes were there,
for the sole reason that they
didn't have the price to get in.
They had taken the last step
they could without buying a
ticket; they stood right up close
to the entrance. The spoilers
had tried all their wiles on them.
They started bands out among
them, and tolled them up to the
main show, but there they balk-
ed. Then they tried the. side

in mind an old negro's idea of
the greatest punishment: to be
tied to a post and have a show
ticket torn up right in front of
his face. and then you can see
what mournful sight this was
outside the tents.

BY ELECTRIC GAR
FIRST CASUALTY ON LINE
ASLEEP ON TRACK, UAOER INFLUENCE
OF Drink, MOTORMAR DOESN'T SEE
NEGRO UNTIL TOO LATE

The first casualty on the lines
Of the Columbus Railway, Light
a Power Co., occurred Thursday
at 7.3O p. M, when a negro,
Clay Roebuck' who was lying
across the track in a drunken
condition, was killed about a
hundred feet above the park
switch, just beyond Tabb's hill.
He lived about thirty minutes
after being struck by the car.
The negro's body was lying
parallel with the cross ties, one
leg being over the rail, and Mo-
torman Philpotts, in charge OF
the car, did not see it until too
late. He had already brought
the car to a slow rate of speed. in
order to take the park switch.
Just before the car passed over
the negro he says he saw an OBJ
ject ahead which he couldn't dis
tinguish from the cross
ties, and stopped the car as soon
as possible.
The negro's leg was mangled
and a hip crushed by the motor,
but the upper portion Of the
body was not brushed.
MotOrman Philpotts imme-
diately telephoned to Manager
Greenland of the company, and
he, with President Sherrod, in
structing him to leave the in
jured man there until they ar
rived with medical aid, hastily
went to the scene, accompanied
by DR.. Henry, the comrany's
physician.
The negro lived about ten min
utes after their arrival. He was
unable to speak. Upon exami-
nation, the evidences convinced
DIR. Henry that the negro had
taken considerable quantities of
Jamaica ginger. Besides, the ne

a Play of Genuine Merit.

A play of genuine merit and
one which has probably met with
the greatest success of any drama
produced in America during the
past ten years is ''The Lion an the
Mouse" which Henry B. Harris
will produce here on Wednesday,
Nov. "a.
The play is by Charles Klein and
deals with a widely discussed
phase Of American life of today
that of the influence exerted by
the money interests upon the poll
tics of the country, and while the
drama is serious in its aspect it IS
said to have many Illuminating
episodes of humOr. Indeed, the
play is said to sparkle with wit
and brilliancy and its theme being
one of widespread interest it can
scarcely fail to interest all classes
of theatre-gOeS.
The engagement is for Wednes-
day, Nov. "a.
