dividend OF Ia. per cent on the preferred.
A statement from Chairman Gary to the
board explaining the reasons for the ad-

from time TO time in the future was
made public and the usual report of the

total earnings a little under the recent
predictions. but was, upon the whole. re-

The raising OF the common dividend
had been taken by the Street for some
time as a practical certainty, although
il was recognized as a possibility that
after all the directors might decide to
adhere TO the old rate of 4 per cent, and
owing to that possibility the stock mar

Judge Gary's Statement.

Judge Gary's statement. justifying the
increase in the dividend rate on the
common stock and holding out the hope
OF even larger disbursements in the fut-
ure. was as follows:
The finance committee recommends to the
boa I'd of directors the declaration Of a dlVl-
dend of II. per cent for the quarter ended
on April l. During the nine wears of the
existence of the corporation ended on April
l. 1910, the net earnings of all companies,
over and above all interest charges ana
dividends at the rate of Z per cent on the
referred stock OF the corporation. have
averaged about sIb per cent a year on the
common stock. while the dividends actually
paid on the common stock have averaged
only 3-l0 per cent. In view of the earn
inRs many OF the holders of common stock
from time to time have requested more lib
eral dividends. but the members OF the
finance committee have acted on the belief
that the interests OF the holders of COM
mon stock would be best protected and pro
mOted by the use of large sums of money

This policy has been approved by the
board. II is now believed conditions Justify

criticised and were understood to have
been made chiefly in pursuance of

came into the Steel Corporation as sub (
sidiaries. The total dividends in 1903
amounted to 3l2 per cent. and in. the
poor years 1904 and 1905 nothing was
paid on the common. At the quarterly
meeting on July 81. 1906 the directors
gave the Street an agreeable surprise by
declaring two dividends of y per cent
each on the common. one for the quar-
ter ended March 81 and one for that
ended June 30. placing the stock on >

BLAMES LIQUOR AGENCIES
For the Deaths of Togus Veterans.

AUGUSTA, Me-, March 30. Gen. Joseph
S. Smith of Bangor, local manager of the
national soldiers home at Togus, appear
ed before the Governor and Council today
to see if the selling of liquor to veterans
at the liquor agencies at Chelsea and
Randolph could not be stopped. These
agencies are situated within few miles
of the national home.
''The conditions are terrible at these
agencies, said Gen. Smith. "You have
no idea how bad they are. We have more
trouble and more deaths at the home on
account of the loose way in which these
agencies are conducted than from any
other cause. Liquor is sold openly to
these old soldiers at the agencies. They
return to the home intoxicated and three
or four die every pension day after they
have visited these agencies.
every morning." continued General
Smith, There are from to 80 soldiers
before the governors court at the home,
and the majority of these have been to
the Randolph and Chelsea agencies the
preceding day."
1t was decided that Gen. Smith should
take up the matter with the committee
on liquor agencies of the Governor and
Council.

GOOD ROADS FOR BELMONT.

We have already called attention to
the generous proposition made by Mr..
Chenery of Belfast to pay his taxes into
the town of Belmont, where he owns sew
eral large farms, five years in advance,
provided half of it will be expended
under competent supervision on the high
ways. 1t occurs to US that here is a
practical solution of how the poorer
towns in our State can get the highways
renewed without waiting forever for
them. Much naturally depends upon the
practical way in which the town of Bel
mont uses Mr. Chenery's tax money. If
she shall have for it highways that will
attract attention of visitors from far and
near, if every town increases in value as
it ought to, because Of her improved
highway, it will certainly be good
investment, and there ought to be no
trouble in getting we'll to do citizens in
other towns to 60 and do likewise. The
whole plan is so new that there is good
chance to make some grievous mistakes,
but we trust that these will be avoided
to very great extent. Mr.. Chenery is
giving the matter his personal attention
and has been in conference with State
Road Commissioner Sargent as to how
the work can best be conducted. We
shall take particular interest to note the
progress Of the work, and hope to be
able to report SO favorably on it that a
number Of good towns where improved
highways are sadly needed will see to it
that the example in Waldo county is fol-
lowed in their municipality.-Turf, Farm
and Home.

CAUSE AND CURE
OF SC|ATICA
The Typical Case Of a Massa-
chusetts Woman Who Is Now
Entirely We'll.

AAIASAy w SAs
The proper medical treatment for sci
atica, rs we'll as for other nervous dis
eases, is to build up and purify the
blood. The nerves receive all of their
nourishment from the blood and remain
strong and healthy unless the blood be-
comes impoverished or there is some in
jury to them. This is we'll illustrated
in sciatica where the sciatic nerve be-
comes irritated and infamed through
lack OF nourishment because the blood
has become impure, either from the
grip, colds, malaria, work, Or some
weakening disease.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the most
direct cure for sciatica as they are a GER
tain blood builder. AS the blood becomes
rich and pure. it carries an ever increas-
ing amount of nourjshment to the starv-
ed nerve thereby completely removing
tie cause of tne disease and making a
permanent cure.
Mrs. Eliza A. Snow, of No. 574 Hyde
Park avenue, Roslindale, Mass. says:
1.-The cause of the sciatica in my case
was taking cold while I was in ii run

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. of Sufferers Is Enormous
and There Seems but Ono
Remedy,

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis, it is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent. Of the prison population of the
country Is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out Of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time. not less than 10000 are infected
with this disease. If the Philippine
islands III other insuiar possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons OF Pennsylvania. Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state. and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.

A Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently call
ed upon In one of her marvellous crea.
lions to enact the role Of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust in view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in han
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhardt
exhibited they showed that they knew
little Of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter Of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked, and over it is
placed damp clay Of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

full condition. He was in the last
stages of desert exhaustion, devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blistered and
crazed. with his tongue swollen enor

The Fast Cure.

DR.. Forbes Ross in the London EXPRESS,
Only in cases Of people between the
age Of 80 and 65 should starvation for
one moment be thought of, and even
then the patient should be one of those
beetroot-faced parsons known in the
medical world as "gastronomical hogs.,'
whose oyerindulgence makes such
treatment necessary. Up to the age Of
80 the fast cure would be suicide, for
up to the age of 25 the bones are still
growing, and the brain power Of an in
diviaual Is being strengthened UP to
the ago Of 80. 1t scapacity being greater
than at 40.
In the young the inevitable result of
frequent rssouras to his cure will be
consumption. for the patient is only
starving in a literal sense. Tho feeling
of the pangs Of hunger which are ex-
perisncsd for the first two or three
days means that the digestive organs
are working fruitlessiy. After that
they find work In consuming one an
other. This Is proof that the patient
Is living on himself. After the ago
Of 30 the danger Of consumption is very
small, and the body requires less nou-
