Smith is making the trip on Il

wits and his rifle to provide himself
with food and fuel.
At Washington he met President
Roosevelt and picture was taken at
the White House with Quentin Roose-
welt in the sled which has made this
remarkable journey.
Smith is not very laxative man
and it is only with effort that in
formation is secured from him. He
loves the north and is anxious to get
back to Alaska. His dogs are the

Rheumatism Cannot
Be Cured Unless
UriC=O is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and Paralysis
Are Caused by Poisonous Uric and Rheu-
matte Acids

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regarding
the claims of almost any remedy advertised as
a cure for Rheumatism and one can scarcely
blame him for being so. All the plasters and
liniments combined never actually cured a case
of Rheumatism. They may relieve it in one
quarter but it is sure to break out some
where else. The only true way to cure Rheu-
matism is to drive it from the system, for as
long as the Uric and Rheumatic Acid remains
in the blood, one is never entirely free from
the trouble. Uric-O seeks out the Rheumatic
poison in the blood, muscles and kidneys. rem
ders it inert and harmless and drives it out of
the system. 1t is composed of perfect anti
dotes far the rheumatic acid poison in the sys-
TEN, and the secret of it's wonderful success
lies in the fact that it is designed to cure Rheu-
matism only.
Uric-O is sold by VIM. o. Poor & Son at 75c
and 800 the bottle. A liberal sample may be
procured by writing to the Smith Drug Co.,

MAINE BANKS PROSPEROUS

Gain of S4,257 ,548 in Assets Last Year
Increase of SO Per Cent in Savings
Deposits.
There are ffty-two savings banks,
forty trust companies and thirty-fve
loan and building associations now doing
business in the State of Maine, according
to the report of State Bank Examiner
William B. Shelton of Lewiston. These
institutions have total assets of $40, 635,-
S61, gain Of s., 257, 54S over last wear.
Including dividends, the deposits in the
savings banks during the past year
showed a years increase of S748, 1868.
The percentage Of gain for the year was
IS per cent, as compared with 3.3 per
cent the year before.
The table Of deposits and withdrawals
gives the total amounts of deposits as
$50, 13l, 40, the years total additions be-
ing SIS, 919,999, against which there
were withdrawals amounting to S19, Ill.,
OBS. The estimated value of the resour-
ces OF the savings banks above liabilities
| is given as So, 965, 7S4, against S11 ,O67, TO
for the year 1907. There is an increase
of 1913, 172 in reserve fund and of S81 ,316
in undivided profits.
Regarding the decrease in the estimat-
I ed value of resources above liabilities,
due to the increased rates of interest,
Bank Examiner Shelton says:
This shows marked decease in the
estimated value Of resources above liabi-
lities due to the increased rates of inter
est paid on all classes of investments and
the consequent marking down of the in
vestment value of individual securities.
AS the normal interest rate varies the
investment value and the market value
OF any given security fuctuates.
eff the former change is due to a per-
| manent change of conditions, or one
| which promises to continue for a long
period of time, both the investment and
| the market values are materially in
| fiuenced thereby. If it is due to temper
airy conditions, the value of longtime
| investment is not seriously affected. 1t
| is not easy to separate the two and say
| to what extent abnormal conditions may
! be disregarded in fixing these values.
Justice demands that in times when con-
| ditions are unsettled a serious effort
should be made to distinguish between
| values for investment purposes purely
speculative or fixed by the necessities Of
the individuals.
1T is gratifying to observe that even
with the lower values given the securities
the surplus remains largely above the
| book surplus claimed by the banks them
selves, and amply demonstrates their
| strength and conservatism. -

NAVY LACKS CHAPLAINS.
Home Folks Seek Services for Tars in Life
and Death

Reorganization in This Line to Be Demanded.
Home Folks Seek Services for Tars in Life
and Death.
New YORK, February l. On behalf of
some hundred thousand parents and rela-
tives of the Yankee boys in Uncle Sans
sea service a movement to procure an
adequate staff of chaplains for the navy
has been started in this city. To the new
administration and Congress this demand
from thirty thousand homes all over the
country will be presented at Washington
by the American Seamen's Friend So
ciety, which has been pressing action to
place the American navy on an equal
footing with that of every other nation
in this respect for several years. Scores
of other national religious. civic and phil
anthropic organizations can be counted
upon to join them in vigorous efforts to
this end, officers of the society declared
today.
With Senator Knox, who introduced a
bill for more navy chaplains last year, at
the head of the Taft cabinet and new
secretary of the navy just installed, the
leaders in this movement believe that
more than the usual attention will be
paid in the new year to this matter OF
providing American tars with religious
reorganization in the navy is in more
pressing need of attention, they declare;
for the records show that not one single
chaplain has been added to the naval SER
vice in the last siXty-seven years, while
the number of enlisted men has grown
by the hundred each year. Only twenty
four chaplains are at present allotted to
the 1000 tars of our navy, 81 per cent.
of whom are taken from American homes
in every section of the land.
Backed by the home folks and neigh
bors of all the American tars, who must
now often lack decent Christian burial,
as well as the ordinary chance for re-
ligious service, the American Seamen' S
Friend Society will appear at Washing
ton in the near future to urge immediate
remedy for these conditions. 1t will be
pointed out to the authorities that, while
Great Britain and almost all the foreign
powers provide one chaplain to every
ship at sea, only two such officers are
allotted to the entire American fleet now
cruising about the world. That the Uni
ted States Navy is sadly inferior to the
sea services of every other nation in this
particular will be shown by many striking
facts and figures.
1.-THE call from American homes through
out the country for the chance of religious
service for their boys has never been
needed at Washington, said G. McPher-
son Hunter, secretary of the American
Seamen's Friend Society at its headquar-
ters, rs Wall street. Though President
Roosevelt, who is one of our vice presi-
dents, interested himself in the matter,
all measures to this end have been quiet
ly neglected and killed for the last fifty
years or more. This year, however, we
feel that Congress and the new admins
tration can no longer fail to heed such a
widespread demand from the people Of
the nation. We have pushed this cause
steadily since 1910 and we do not intend
to stop till our navy is placed on par in
this respect with those Of the other ma
tions."
