for corn and other growing crops

aims have been of great benefit to
corn, especially in the late planted
delds. Grass has revived and pas
ures and meadows are again looking
green. The second crop of clover is
growing rapidly and the indications
are favorable for good yield of seed
rwo1thirds of the corn is in excellent
condition and, with normal weather
Until the end of September, will pro.

BELFAST PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN TO
DETECT THE APPROACH OF
KIDNEY DISEASE.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so un-
mistakable that they leave ground for
doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy
offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage attended by sensation of scaiding
The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy
spells may occur and the victim is often weigh
ed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is danger of
dropsy, Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough to begin
treating the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than Doan's
Kidney Pills Here's Belfast proof:
w. J. Clifford, 9 Northport avenue, Belfast,
Me-, says: II can strongly recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills. l have already told what this
remedy did for a member of my family in
testimonial. published in 1904. 1 still think
just as highly of Doan's Kidney Pills, as 1 did
then and keep a supply in the house all the
time. Different members of my family use
this remedy occasionally when in need of a
kidney medicine and never fail to receive
benefit"

NEWSPAPER COMMENT.

The Record editor does not believe that the
people of Maine want resubmission. If, how
ever the people do want it, then the legisa-
ture should at once accede to their WISH
Civic League Record.
The stenographer who ran away with the
dentist who murdered his wife has been ac~
quilted of the charge of accessory after the
fact. But she ought to be convicted of what
she was guilty of; she was far from guiltless.
Six Towns Times.
The incoming Democratic legislators are
promising to put cider among the list of in
toxicants and prohibit it's manufacture. To
prove that cider is an intoxicant the Demo-
cratic papers have been widely circulating the
story that an OK in Skowhegan got intoxicated
at cider mill the other day and behaved in a
very unseemly manner.-Portland Press.
The direct loss to the farmer through bad
roads is very great. 1t costs 54 cents bushel
for the haulage of wheat an average of "a
miles to market. but it costs only 3.S bushel
to carry it from New York to Liverpool 1t is
estimated that the agricultural products of the
United States in eleven years were worth
$70,OO0,O 100000. The loss caused by bad roads
in the haulage of that stupendous quantity
must have been enormous.-Halifax, N. S.,
Chronicle.
There is really no danger of the licensed
grog- shop coming to Maine, whatever the leg
islature votes to do; nevertheless the influences
of any success of the contemplated action
cannot fail to be deleterious from the moral
point of view. But, if the clamorers have the
votes. let them re-submit; have carnival of
rum in plenty and easy to be had; then, in
September 1911 and 1912, We'll show them how
the people of Maine feel as to Statewide pro-
hibition and its Fundamentally idgeton News
We do not take it upon ourselves here to de-
fend the prohibitory law. Most people know
as much about it as the Waterville Sentinel OF
anyone else. The people of Maine will look
after that matter in their own way and at their
own time, but the everlasting endeavor on the
part of Democratic newspapers to make it ap-
pear that Maine people are drunkards, crimi-
mails and immoral, compared with the people OF
other States, is disgusting and unreasonable
1t hurts the State, it Injuries business, and il
holds the good old State of Maine up to ridi-
cule and to unjust criticism. 1t is, in word
altogether unfair and uncalled for.-Portlanc
Press.

Mrs. Howe on the Open Door.

Among the beautiful poems of Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe that are now being quoted in the
press, the following should not be forgotten
It is plea for cause that was always dear to
Ter:
THE OPEN DOOR.
The Master said, 81 am the Door,
The world is dark with doubt and sin,
Hidden the good that men implore,
But after me we enter in.
1.-THE ancient barriers disown,
The distant and the dark control,
Who with your onward steps have thrown,
Gods sunshine open to the SOUL
Another mystic door l know
The entrance to this world of ours;
And she who opens it bears low
A wondrous weight of pains and powers.
O men who plan the stately pile
Where law and learning hold their sway.
And drive with subterfuge and vile
Your mothers from the door away!
Undo the doors In Gods high noon
An equal heritage have we;
Your cold exclusions out of tune
With Natures hospitality.
See where the Word of Freedom lives
To bridge the gulf of ages DER;
Learn how the Eternal Giver gives,
And keep with Christ the open door!
Only few days before her death Mrs. Howe
gave out the result of the census she had
taken of ministers and editors in the fou,
States where women vote-a result that great.
ly pleased her. Of the 624 answers to her cir.
cular letter asking if the effects of equal sui.
frage were good or bad, 81 were unfavorable
46 in doubt and SIG in favor.
