BANGOR'S QUIET FOURTH.

BANGOR, July 4. Bangor's first ''safe
and sane" Fourth of July under the new
city ordinances proved great success
and the night before and the day were
the quietest ever known in the history of
the city. The new law shut off the use
of all firearms and limited the sale of
torpedoes and firecrackers to the small
est sizes.
No accidents Of any moment to cele-
orators have been reported The only
municipal celebration was three concerts
by the Bangor band, but there was horse
racing at Maplewood park.
There was a general exodus to other
places. Oldtown and South Brewer drew
several thousand, while Ellsworth, Pitts
field, Penobscot park, Camp Benson and
other places were we'll patronized.
The city was positively dry" every
saloon and bar being tightly closed by
orders of the chief of police, who put
them in effect at 10 O'Clock last night.
Last night the Globe hotel, Riverside
hotel and Mark Burke's saloon were raid
ed, and the proprietors ordered into court
Wednesday,. This appeared to have con-
siderable effect and there were but few
if any infractions of the rules today.
The number of arrests was below the
average and for the first Fourth of July
on record there was not call for the fire
apparatus during the day.

When a man ceases to doubt he be-
gins to do things.
Every man is said to have his price,
but he rarely gets it.
And it's what a man has been that
makes him what he is.
It's funny how sympathetic some
people are when it is useless.
Probably there is nothing more in
dustrious than an idle rumor
Holding his nose to the grindstone
will not sharpen mans wits.
Many man acts like a genius when
all that ails him is Indigestion.
Love at first sight may look like
blind love to disinterested persons.
Some men go about seeking tempta-
ton in order to test their will power.
A man is never too old to learn that
he knows lot of things he should forget.
Occasionally a man makes his mark
in the world because his wife makes him
toe it.
1t isn't difficult for a man to get
woman to agree with him if she isn't
his wife.
When you hear al man say that he
fe els better when he works, it's your
cue to make getaway.

EXPLOSION FROM WITHIN
That is the Opinion of an Expert on the
Destruction of the Maine,

WASHINGTON, July 6. The loss of the
battleship Maine was caused by thee X
plosion of her three magazines. No
such effect as that produced upon the
vessel could have been caused by all ex-
plosion from without. Such is the
opinion of General William H. Bixby,
chief of engineers, U. S. A., who has
returned from a personal inspection of
the work of raising the Maine.
Gen. Bixby said that portion of the
deck over the magazines was blown up
ward and laid backward and that there
were numerous conditions of the hulk as
it lies in Havana harbor, which prove
the explosion was an interior one. No
explosion from the outside, said the gen.
eral could have caused the same result.
"What the primary cause of explosion
was," said General Bixby, "never will
be learned,
Gen. Bixby does not believe that the
bodies of those who lost their lives will
be found on the Maine. He says they
are probably buried 200 feet or more
from the wreck in the mud.

The Cause Of Colds and a Safe Cure.

A common cause OF many colds IS
the sudden checking of the unconscious
perspiration by exposure to a change of
temperature. Colds, whether taking the
form of Coryza with sneezing, running
nose, and perhaps sore throat, or with
chilly and feverish symptoms, should
never be neglected in the earliest
stages, serious illness often results
from such neglect.
1t is well to get early to bed, to get
the body well warmed, and most i'm
portant to have the bowels move freely.
There is no safer or better remedy to
use at the beginning Of cold than
Ell. E'.' Atwood's medicine. Two to
four teaspoonfuls will quickly relieve
congested conditions, drive out impuri-
ties from the system and ward off fur
Their trouble. Always keep bottle in
the house. Any dealer will supply you
for thirty-f cents. If you have
never used them, write today for free
sample to the L. f. Medicine Co., Port

NOW IS THE TIME To SWAT THE
FLY

If you see fly walking over the fooc
and dishes, or alighting on your baby s
face, remember that he is messenger
of disease and death, says the July
Woman's Home Companion.
The rules for dealing with the fly nui.
sance, published by the Merchants AS.
ISOLATION of New York, and widely cir
culated by them, are worth reprinting.
We repeat our suggestion that an excel
lent work for any live woman's club
would be to reproduce these rules on
cards and distribute them broadcast.
Keep the flies away from the sick, es-
pecially those i'll with contagious dis
eases. Kill every fly that strays into
the sick-room. His body is covered with
disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of any
sort to accumulate on or near your prem
ses All refuse which tends in any way
to fermentation, such as bedding straw,
paper waste and vegetable matter should
be disposed of or covered with lime or
kerosene.
Screen all food. Keep all receptacles
for garbage carefully covered and the
cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil or
lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or pit.
screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or
other cheap preparation. See that your
sewage system is in good order; that it
does not leak, is up-to-date and not ex-
posed to flies. Pour kerosene into the
drains.
Cover food after meal; burn or bury
all table refuse. Screen all food for
sale.
Screen all windows and doors, espe-
cially the kitchen and dining-room.
Burn pyrethrum powder in the house
to kill flies.
Don't forget, if you see flies, that
their breeding-place is in nearby filth.
It may be behind the door, under the
table, or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth, there will
be no flies.
If there is nuisance in the neighbor-
hood, it would be advisable to write at
once to the health department.

5 inches. She was built expressly for
the California trade and during her
career in that trade, besides Capt. PEN

commanded at times by the following
Searsport captains: John G. Pendleton,
Joshua B. Nichols, James P. Butman
and Theodore P. Colcord and David B.
Scribner of Thomaston. Her passage
from San Francisco to Searsport was
made in IS days. The run from the
Equator to Liverpool being made in 20
days.
While in command of Capt John G.
Pendleton, on the passage from San
Francisco to New York she made the
run to Cape Horn in so days, then to the
Equator in the Atlantic in 10 days and
from the Equator to Sandy Hook in 10
days, making the passages from port to

made from New York to San Francisco
while under the management of the New
York owners and commanded by the
Searsport captains and Capt. David B.

from New York to Cape Horn were
made in less than so days.
In 1890 while under the command of
Capt. James p Butman she made the
run from New York to the Equator in
: the Atlantic in 20 days, thence to Cape
Horn in 10 days, making the passage
from New York to Cape Horn in SO days,
from Cape Horn to San Francisco in IS

While under the management of the
New York owners she was very sue
cessful ship financially, paying her own
ers large sums of money She was sold
to the Pacific Transportation & Naviga-
ton Co. by her New York managers,
many Searsport people being owners in
the ship. She ended her days on Cape
Henry, while in command of Capt. Fred
Pearson of Rockland, Me-, by breaking
away from tug while in tow, going
ashore and becoming total loss.
The ship was very fast sailor in light

CHECK INSECT PESTS.
Shorebirds Shown to Devour Mosquitoes,
Locusts, Flies and Crasshoppers Their
Diet. Plea for Protection.

Diet. Plea for Protection.
New YORK, July 10. That mosquitoes,
flies or other insect pests are preyed
upon by nearly one thousand varieties OF
American birds, of which the vanishing
shorebirds occupy prominent place. is
shown in special bulletin that is being
prepared to be sent throughout the coun-
try from the headquarters of the Nation
al Association of Audubon Societies in
this city. Based upon recent investiga-
lions of the government Biological Sur
vey, this circular of warning will present
proof that for every shorebird of the
thousands that are now allowed to be
killed, natures fight to keep down the
spread of disease and crop plague is
weakened by the loss of very active
agent. Unless the killdeer, the upland
plover, the sandpiper and other shore
birds are speedily granted adequate pro-
lection, hygienic and agricultural condi-
lions all over the continent will undoubt-
eddy suffer, it is declared.
Nine species of the shorebirds that are
found in almost every region of this
country are known to consume enormous
quantities of mosquitoes, for whose ex-
tinction many millions of dollars have
been spent by the people of several sec
tons. Scientific examination of the
stomachs of twenty-eight of the North
ern Phalarope variety of these birds is
reported by the government authorities
to have just disclosed the fact that So
per cent of their diet had consisted of
such noXious mosquitoes as the salt marsh
breed, which the authorities of this city
are now attempting to suppress at great
expense. These birds, which do so much
to check the mosquito plague and it's at
tendant spread of disease through the
continent, are shown to be among the
species whose extinction is at this time
threatened on account of lax laws for
their proper protection.
Grasshoppers, locusts and cranefies
that destroy the farmers crops as we'll
as horsefies and mosquitoes that plague
his livestock, are the natural prey of the
disappearing shorebirds, according to the
warnings now being sounded by the
workers of the Audubon association.
The waning forces of the killdeer and
upland plover are also able to destroy
the North American fever tick that has
an injurious effect upon cattle, it is
shown, while some Is species of shore
birds eat the grasshoppers that ruiz
acres of corn, cotton and other crops.
Few of our native birds need protec.
ton more than these shorebirds, some
species of which are found on the farm
ers' fields, the coast and almost every
locality on this continent" said T. Gil
bert Pearson, secretary of the Nationa
Association of Audubon Societies, 1917
Broadway. "In our constant campaign
to protect the nsect-eating birds that
check disease and crop plaques all ovel
the United States, we are at this time
urging all Americans to help save these
economically valuable shorebirds from
the swift destruction that has already
driven the Eskimo Curlew to extinction. ~
