CAUSE FOR ALARM
LOSS OF APPETITE OR DISTRESS AFTER
EATING A SYMPTOM THAT SHOULD
NOT BE DIsREeARDED.

Appetite is just q natural desire for
food. Loss of appetite or stomach dis
tress after eating indicate indigestion or
dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit very
dangerous to a persons good general
health.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you good;
Some of the strongest, heaviest snd
healthiest persons are moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause more
trouble than disordered stomach, and
many people daily contract serious
maladies simply through disregard or
abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in South Paris who suffer
from any stomach arrangement, indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia, whether acute or
chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
with the distinct understanding that we
will refund their money without ques-
ton or formality, If after reasonable use
of this medicine, they are not perfectly
satisfied with the results. We recon-
mend them to our customers every day,
and have yet to hear of any one who has
not been benefited by them. We honestly
believe them to be without equal. They
give very prompt relief, aiding to neu-
tralize the gastric juices, strengthen the
digestive organs, to regulate the bowels,
and thus to promote perfect nutrition,
and eradicate all unhealthy symptoms
We urge you to try 25c box of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives ID days
treatment. At the end of that time
your money will be returned to you II
You are not satisfied. Of course, In
chronic cases length of treatment varies
For such cases, we have two larger
sizes, which sell for SOC. and S1.00. Re
member, you can obtain Rexall RENE
dies in this community only at cur store

A Millionaire,

The term millionaire" is Of inter-
national use. but 1t does not mean the
same thing in the mouths Of different
nations. TO every one 1t means the
possession of million. but not neces.
sarily million dollars. In Great
Britain a millionaire has q million
pounds. or nearly 100000. while
In France they count francs, so
that there a millionaire is a compare
lively poor individual with but $780,.
600 to bless himself with. Million
eires are quite common in Prussia.
but million marks don't mean
much these days. amounting to triae
of $2JO.OO0 In our money. For mil.
lionaires of real class 1t Is necessary
to go back TO old Babylon. The Baby
lonian millionaire had 100000 talents
and would not he regarded as a poor
man even by Wall street office boy.
A talent was about $1,000, and a mil.
lion of them would be $4,000! 900. 900.

Green wood.

Our visitors and callers have been so
few the past week as to be unworthy OF
mention, so We will notice few other
matters.
CHANGING at the weather, it has been
cold, rainy and windy by way of variety,
but no more than might be expected at
this time of the year.

Were well acquainted with G. W. Rip
ley and wife years ago, and her death
was the last one TO 60 on our record for
October; were equally well acquainted
with Edwin Andrews and his name was
the first to go on for November.
There were six birthdays during the
four months of July, August, September
and October in our family; and few of
nv own, which occurred on the 26th Of
August, l will mention as they come to
mind.
OF course | was too young to remem-
Der my first birthday; but was told later
that my folks were we'll pleased with the
sex, as the three older ones were all
girls.
The day was II my mother-in-law
gave me lesson on being good boy,
which is still fresh in my mind whatever
the result proved to be.
On my 18th birthday the weather was
hot. and as we were still haying was
glad when the last load was disposed OF
in the barn.
NV next birthday distinctly remem-
bered was Aug. &c, 1851; was at work
for Capt. James Staples, and moving
back from the dinner table, remarked
that was 21 years old on that day.
''You are" said he, 'then you will have
a right to vote this fall; so be sure and
vote right"
Five years later found me on the New
foundland Banks, hauling in the cod and

anchor for home in a week or two,
Providence permitting, all hands were
feeling rather jolly.

messed the execution Of two murderers
as related few years ago, and need not
be repeated here.
My 10th birthday is still fresh in my
mind, as l was at work on the railroad
in Lincoln and went to Bangor to have
my photograph taken, which still hangs
up against the wall, looking somewhat
differe ut from the old white haired man
of to-day.
NY intention was, when reaching my
fourscOre years, to have my picture
taken again; but the day proved I'M
favorable so that none was taken and
perhaps never will be; and possibly the
world will eontrive to wag along in some
way, whether l do or not.

Marjorie. Marjorie! Won't you come

It was a very weary voice that call
ed, but It brought a frown to the face
of the little girl swinging lazily In the
hammock at the end Of the garden. 1t
was hot everywhere but under the
the cherry trees. 1t was fun to lie
there and eat cherries and throw the
stones up at the robins and watch the
great clouds drift across the sky.
The hammock tipped. and Marjorie's
rubber ball fell to the ground with
bounce. upsetting two big ants that
were carrying sand to their home at
the edge Of the tall grass. Marjorie

Last Weeks Elections.

Although this is the loft year. pc.
litically, a number of states held regular
elections last Tuesday, for the choice of
state officers, legislatures, or municipal
governments, and there are to the re-
suits certain interesting features.
To the people of this part of the coun-
try the chief interest was in the election
in Massachusetts,, where there>hsd been
a very lively campaign. Governor Eu.
gene " Foss, Democrat, was reelected
by a plurality Of S0OS over Louis A
rockingham, his Republican opponent,
who is the present Acknowledgements
of the state. This is a reduction OF
about 27,OO0 from his large plurality OF
last year. The rest of the Republican
state ticket was elected, and the legis
lsture is Republican.
New York elected a legislature Re-
publican by good majority in place of
the former Democratic body.
In New Jersey legislature was elect
ed which is Republican in both branches,
and significant feature of the election
Is the defeat of number o. the candi-
dates whose election was specifically sd-
vocated by Governor Woodrow Wilson.
Another interesting phase of the re-
suit Is the increase of the Socialist vote,
which is considerable. This Is especial
ly the case in the middle west. Eight
cities in Ohio elected Socialist mayors,
and even Schenectady, N. Y, elected al
most complete Socialist city govern
ment.
Taken as a whole, as between the two
old parties, il may be said that the re-
suits, as far as they have significance, in
dictate that the height of the Democratic
wave was reached in last years election,
and that il is now receding.
Much, however, seems to depend up
on the point of view. Some Of the news
papers which attempt TO divest them
selves of political prejudice are unable
to discover any particular significance In
the results, while Judson Harmon, pros
pective Democratic candidate for the
presidency, sees the foreshadowipg Of
Democratic landslide. Governor Har-
mon is the rosiest kind Of an optlmist.

venient source of supply, the river.
