A Startling Statement.
New York Medical Authori-
ties Claim Dyspepia to be a
Pre-Disposing Cause of
Consumption

The post norton statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some
cases of consumption are due, at least
indirectly, to unchecked dyspepsia, espe-
cially when the victim was predisposed
to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weak ened, irritable stomach
being unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nourish-
ment, and the victim becomes thin, weak
and haggard. As a result, the body be-
comes fertile field in which the germs
of disease may lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing to ward the develop
ment of one of the most insidious and
fatal diseases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely eradicat-
ed If properly treated. We sell . remedy
that we positively guarantee will COM
pletely relieve indigestion or dyspepsia, or
the medicine used during the trial will
cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been named Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer
could be more fair, and our offer should
be proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are a dependable remedy.
Inasmuch as the medicine will cost
you nothing If it does not benefit you,
we urge you who are suffering with indi-
gestion or dyspepsia to try Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets. A 25.cent box contains
enough medicine for fifteen days treat
ment. For chronic cases we have two
larger sizes, so cents and $1.00. Re-
member you can obtain Rexall Remedies
in South Paris only at our store.-The
Rexall Store. F. A. Shurtleff & Co.

UNREASONABLE Evidence.

I feel that owe to my old time friends
and associates valuable information that
they will be glad to learn of, and to some
of them it will be of untold value If they
will 90 and do as I have done. On May
9Th, 1909, took course of four weeks
treatment at the Kelley Institute In
Portland, Maine, and am now a we'll,
sound man still growing in strength of
mind and body until every thing around
me has changed its phase for the better.
My business is attended to with ease and
pleasure, my home and the happiness 1t
brings to me and my wife we're never be-
fore experienced-my mind is clear. |
am capable of understanding business
propositions because I am a we'll man
again.
1 would be most happy to give any
person information who desires it before
going to the Kelley Cure in Portland,
Maine, if they will write me or call and
see me.
Yours in Brotherhood,

The Village Water System Turned On.

The last act in connection with the
transfer of the pipes of the Norway Wa
ter Co. to the South Paris Village Cor
poration was done last Tuesday, and
little before IL o'clock that forenoon the
gate was closed at the Norway town
line, shutting off the Norway water, and
the gates were opened which turned
the water of the South Paris village
supply system into the pipes formerly
owned by the Norway Water Co. The
village is now using water from the new
system, and the general feeling Is one OF
great satisfaction. All reservoirs are
full and running over.
When the Norway Water Co. purchas-
ed of j. FL. Clark piece Of land near
his buildings on which to build the
reservoir which the village has now &C
auired, Ii was agreed that Mr.. Clark
should be allowed to take water from
the system for his stable. He put in
pipe from the main, and as his buildings
are higher than the reservoir, had to put
a pump on it to draw the water. After
the water was turned on last week, the
water being low In the Clark reservoir,
| w hicb ia to be used as reserve, 1t was
thought best to fill it and shut it of.
The water ran in all right from our new
reservoir, which is some thirteen feet
higher. but It made q little trouble foI
MT. Clark. Hearing. racket at hi
pump, he investigated and found ths
water forcing out through the top OF 1t
Now he has to keep his pump shut on
when the reservoir near his house II
opened into the rest of the system.

GEORGE R. MORTON.
Death of Llnwood L. Powers.

Rarely does death in our community
cause such general sorrow as that OF
Linwood L. Powers, which occurred at
his home on High Street Friday after
noon. Mr.. Powers was attacked with
pneumonia on the Friday preceding,
though he was at his work for portion
of the day. Apparently of fine phsique,
the weak spot in his makeup was his
lungs, and be was soon in critical con-
dition, and in spite of all that could be
done for him, the end came after a
weeks illness. He was AZ years of age.
Mr.. Powers was the son OF the late
Edgar Fl. Powers of Hanover. He came
to South Paris some fourteen years ago,
and entered the employ OF the Paris
Manufacturing Co. For some years now
he has been foreman of the saw mill In
the company's main factory at South
Paris. In that position he was An effi-
Gent aud useful man, attending closely
and faithfully to his work. Even in the
delirium of his fever he was continually
going over it's details.
Mr.. Powers was an active member of
several organizations. He was at the
time Of his death Senior Deacon Of Paris
Lodge, r. and A. NJ, and during his ILL
ness had been elected Senior Warden. he
was also a member of all the higher and
allied Masonic bodies located at Nor
way, being Past High Priest OF Oxford
Chapter, r. A. NJ, and member OF Ok
ford Council, r. and S. NJ, and of Ok
ford Lodge, Ark Mariners. He was a
Past Chancellor In Hamlin Lodge,
Knights of Pytbias, of South Paris, aud
was a member of Hsmlin Temple, P. s.
He was man of great popularity, and
will be much missed, not only in these
associations where he has been SO active,
but in all the walks of life.
He married Miss Nellie NJ. Porter OF
South Paris. She survives him, with
three children, two boys, aged respective
ly IL and 6 years, and one girl, years.
OF his fathers family there remains only
one brother, Harvey L. Powers, OF South
Paris.
The funeral was held at O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, at the Congregational
church. Rev. A. T. McWhorter spoke
not at great length but feelingly,. and
Paris Lodge of Masons then took charge
and performed its funeral service. Ham
lin Lodge, X. of p, acted as escort for
the procession, and following 1t came a
large delegation from Oxford Chapter oil
Norway. In the three bodies there were
between $50 and 200 men. Besides these
and the relatives, there was a large a.
tendance of other friends, and the church
was filed to its capacity, the rear Of the
room being fully occupied by those
standing. Interment is at Riverside
Cemetery.

room and seemed to leave its trace upon
each face, and especially upon the face
of Mrs. Ann G.. Morse, who graced the
occasion in her usual hospitable manner.
Finch was played interspersed with sew
ing, fancy work, sociability and laughter.
Then later all partook of a most excel
lent supper, after which A. Z. Morse
showed his Family Album" which
gave much pleasure. He also recited
two other selections which were fully
appreciated. Twas pleasant, a happy
party and one long to be remembered.
Thanks to Miss Morse.
"Of course the best thing about it was
the dinner" says one of the old veterans
of the campfire of Saturday given by the
Grand Army organizations. But he adds
that there were also number of other
good features. In spite of the storm,
there were a good number present, COM
ing from Norway, Oxford, Sumner,
Bethel and elsewhere. 1t was necessary
to set the tables twice, and the second
table was about filled. New Hall was
opened, and the afternoon exercises were
held there. Department Commander A.
w. McCausland of the Department of
Maine, of Gardiner, was the principal
speaker, and spoke at length. There
were also remarks by c. T. Wardwell OF
Oxford, A. NJ. True of Bethel, and Hon.
James S. Wright of South Paris. A. Z.
Morse read two selections, and there was
singing by Mr.. Pike, Mrs. Wilson, and
Mrs. Willis from Norway. 1t was a first
class time throughout.
