FRENCH ATTACKED.
Moroccan Tribesmen Kill or Wound

Headaches and Their Treatment.


In treating headache, there is one
safe rule to follow:-Never use any
medicine containing acetanilid or similar
eoal-tar derivatives without the advice
of your physician. They may give
temporary relief, but they almost never
reach the cause of the trouble and are
likely to weaken the heart. The most
common form of headache, frequently
called sick headache, arising from
iisordered stomach, may be avoided
by care in the choice of food. Shun
pastry, candy and rich food, take time
to eat, chew your food thoroughly and
keep your bowels in good condition by
using one-half to one 2teaspoonful of
L. f. Atwood's Medicine after each
meal. This old reliable remedy has
been a perfect blessing to thousands
for sixty years. Get bottle today,
and prove it for yourself. Any dealer
has it for thirty-fve cents, or we mail
free sample on request. L. T. Medi-
cine Co., Portland. Me.

ton of Dr. John Carson of the Central
church of Brooklyn as moderator of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian

spirited contest i'm years, and was decided

asks how many votes YOU have lined up

rian church This is a fine frenzy of Sec
tional differences.
Equally bold was the criticism of Dr.
John r. Davies of Philadelphia. who
nominated Rev. John Dixon of Trenton,
" j.

Palmer of Columbus characterized him
as the first man congratulated by Gov.
Hughes as the completion of the race
track fight. and the man who fought rum
and kept the Bible in the public schools
of New York"
DR.. Joseph L. Weaver of Rocky Ford,
Col, in presenting the name of Rev.

'IIe was the leader in the fight against

That the, statute relating to the
adulteultion of milk does not apply to
the so-called 'pasteurization" of that
product, was the opinion handed down
Thursday by the supreme court OF
Massachusetts. The court holds that
if there were any risk of fraud in the
sale of this manufactured article or
milk or danger to public health by use
of the product, the Legislature un-
douhtedly could make provision against
such evil; but il is not for the court to
extend the operation of the present
statute beyond its legitimate scope.

FIRES UNDER CONTROL.
But Extremely Threatening Conditions
In Forest Areas.

Bangor. Me. May 1S.-Up to mid
night there had been no developments
of importance in the forest fire situa
ton. Most of the fires reported on
Wednesday to theseast and north were
under control this morning. although
still burning, and no new fires of con-
sequence have been discovered. AS the
drought continues undated, however,
and there is considerable wind the
situation is extremely dangerous and
the greatest apprehension exists all
through the forest section. Thus far
little heavy timber has been burned,
but disastrous fires can scarcely be
prevented if rain holds off much long
er. The immediate danger in most
places is that small settlements may be
wiped out by fires that are lSindled in
dry brush by mere spark and sweep
furiously' through the sapling growth.
