WALKED As WELL
AS THE DOCTOR
Cure Of a Case Of Rheumatism
Thai Did Not Yield to
Ordinary Remedies.

There are many remedies for rheu-
matism. Most OF them are considered
successful if they relieve the pain and
stiffness. That means a temporary
suppression of the symptoms while the
disease remains in the blood to appear
again on the next rainy day.
In rheumatism the blood becomes
thin. Until it is made rich and red
again the rheumatism will prevail.
Strengthen the blood with Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and it will
throw of the rheumatic poison and the
disease is cured.
Mrs. G. G. Dean, of No. 916 Elm
street, Quincy, ILL.,, says: GA few years
ago was greatly afflicted with rheuma-
tisln. The trouble came on in the fall.
consulted our family doctor and on
my way home could hardly push one
foot ahead of the other. The next
morning was worse and in great pain.
All at once something seemed to give
away in my back on the right side and
l was bent nearly double. l could not
straighten up and was suffering intense
pain. For six weeks the doctor called
nearly every day but did not cure me.
I had spells of nervousness, which
nearly drove me mad. If l would lie
down on the bed, I could not get up
unless lifted and placed on my feet. So
for six weeks I sat up all night in my
chair and during the day moved about
as well as I could. I could hardly walk
and when 1 did it was very slowly and
if took quick step the pain would
catch me and it seemed as though I
would fall. slept but little and could
eat practically nothing. One day I
told the doctor that be need not call on
me any longer and then semitic a box
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and gave them a good trial.

MAINE FOLKS IN CALIFORNIA.

We have received copy of the His
torical Bulletin of the State of Maine
Association of California, which has or
its front cover half-tone of the State
House at Augusta and contains portraits
of Gov. Plaisted, and Secretary of State
Davis, with sketches of these officials
and of the Maine delegation in Congress;
of Hon. George C. Perkins, U. S. Sena-
tor from California, native of Kenne-
bunkport; list of the officers of the
State of Maine Association, etc. The
preface sets forth the objects of the as
ISOLATION, and it is hoped to found a
complete directory of all former resi-
dents in Maine. We would suggest here
that the directory would be more valu-
able if it gave the birthplace as we'll as
the present residence of those named,
In the biography we find the following:
Give A. Brown, President of the Pho
neer Salt Company in Searsmont,
near Belfast, on the Penobscot river,
; as many years ago as the picture in this
issue indicates. He early acquired a row.
! ing spirit on account OF Delng the son OF
Methodist minister under the old rules
when the clergy was required to seek a
new residence every three years. Con-
sequently he emigrated to California as
soon as his father and mother would per-
nit him TO leave home. Arrived in San
Francisco in 1885 and has been here
twenty-six years. Look at the picture
again and figure it out. Married Cali
fornia girl and is raising two "Native
Sons" for future presidents. If they
were suffragettes they might have bet
ter chance. Has done fairly well in this
country. Thinks Maine a good State in
which to be born and California a good
place to live. Belongs to many fraternal
organizations; has ''held on to the rope"
and has always tried to make his salt. /"
Hope many Name sons will follow his
example and give population of one
million to San Francisco in 1915.

LIBERTY RAILROAD MEETING.

The Liberty correspondent of the Ken
nebec Journal writes; "a largely at
tended and enthusiastic railroad meeting
was held at Hall St. George, Liberty,
Friday, March 8th. Hon. Lucius c.
Morse reported good progress in gather
ing freight statistics by the committee
appointed week ago with Mr.. Morse as
chairman. Something more than %, 600
barrels of apples for local shipment were
part of the available freight. Mr..
Morse and ]. j. Walker were chosen a
committee to see President John R. Ora
ham of the Lewiston, Augusta & Wa
terville Electric Ry., and other posi-
bic railroad promoters, and endeavor
to interest them in the building of a
line into Liberty. The general wish
was for railroad to Belfast, but the
disposition was against being fussy
as to the route, if only railroad con-
nection can be secured. If the Lewiston,
Augusta & Waterville ST. Ry, could be
persuaded to build the Togus-to- Warren
extension via Washington, it would be
an easy task to build a nearly level rail-
road northerly through the valley east ef
Coon mountain to Liberty village, and
the possibility of such line was favor
ably received by those present, as it
would afford connection with the markets
of both Augusta and Rockland. If that
could be built and also line to Belfast
it would put Liberty on through road
from Augusta to Belfast. The main
thing is to get railroad outlet for farm
products and lumber. 1t is also believed
that railroad connection would go far
toward helping develop the summer re-
sort possibilities of the ponds and hills
in this vicinity. The meeting was at
tended by people from Liberty, Palermo,
Montville. Searsmont and Appleton who
are interested in its purpose"

THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC IN
AMERICA.

There seems to be need for descrip-
ton of the white slave traffic in this
country, and for some account of the
movement that has arisen for it's sup.
preston, together with discussion of
the methods that may be employed to ac-
co plish that end.
There are multitudes of parents, teach
ers and other persons having charge of
young people, who are unaware Of the
dangers that threaten young women
through the adroit agents of this traffic.
These need to be informed.
There are many social workers who
should know the facts herein related,
and have presented to them methods by
means of which they may assist in the
suppression of the evil.
There are many others who if they
knew and understood the facts would Of
fer moral and financial support to
movement to prevent the moral and
sustains through the operations of the
white slave trafficker.
And finally, there are those who, in
bondage and suffering too acute for
words, make their pitifu appeal for
help, for freedom and for sympathy.
To meet these demands, book has
been published, written by DR.. o. Ed
ward Janney, Chairman of the National
Vigilance Committee, entitled 1.-THE
White Slave Traffic in America" in
which the subject is dealt with in sane,
accurate and interesting manner.
DR.. Janney's careful study of the SUBJ
ject, in this country and abroad. enables
him to present it in such way as to
hold the attention of the reader and con-
vince him of the extent and terrible re-
suits of the traffic.
Every parent and every social worker
should know the facts contained in this
book in order that the innocent may be
protected, the ignorant enlightened, the
foolish and reckless warned, the weak
safeguarded, the wicked and designing
thwarted, and the traffic suppressed.
The price of this book is one dollar,
postpaid. Orders should be sent to The
National Vigilance Committee, 1876 Fifth
Avenue, New York.

money in irrigating arid lands in Ari-
IONA and other places. If some of that
money were used in draining good lands
in the East and South, where the coun-
try is thickly settled, think it would be
more profitably spent.
Water users in the Salt River Valley,
Ari., under the great Roosevelt Dam,
are about to ask Congress to extend the
time 10 or 20 years in order to enable the
farmers to meet their payments. In
that region $4,000, 200 was spent by the
Government on irrigation, but the farm
ers have not been able to pay the water
rates.
Not far from this irrigation project
the Government is planning 10 build an
other big dam to irrigate the Colorado
River Indian Reservations of $50, 900
acres. This seems to me unwise, be-
cause the country is exceedingly hot,
good mostly for Indians and Mexicans.
| believe each State should do its own
irrigating, for these great projects help
the real estate boomers more than any
one else.

DRUNKENNESS
Is a Disease and
We Can Cure It.

Most men who drink to excess do
so because they cannot help it; they
are controlled by craving which is
practically irresistible. This is
diseased condition, but can be, and
is, promptly relieved.
How? By taking the Kelley Treat.
ment at Kelley Institute. the only
place to get it and the only treatment
which cures alcoholic and drug in
ebriety.
The "KeeIey Cure" removes the
craving for liquor and drugs and
leaves the man master of himself.
The system is rational, it embodies
no suffering or sickness, no absurd
or preposterous claims are made; the
hypodermic method of treatment is
constantly used. which. according to
all reputable physicians, is safe,
painless, prompt and efficient.
The "KEELEY CURE" does not
nauseate patient and no attempt is
made to cure inebriates by creating
disgust for liquor. A treatment
depending upon nauseants or emetics
for cure can never be anything but
a failure because the patient will
soon learn that it is not the liquor
which nauseates him but that he has
been made the victim of a trick; the
diseased condition not being relieved
the patient naturally goes back to
liquor.
The diseased conditions produced
by five to thirty years constant or
periodical use of liquor cannot be
cured by few days of nausea and
emesls. Such methods are irrational,
brutal, and, sometimes. permanently
injurious.
The "KEELEY CUBE" has restored
over 100000 men and women who
were addicted to liquor and drugs; it
is the pioneer in this work and has
many imitators, but no rivals or COM
petitors as far as results are con-
| cerned.
If you have need to take treat
ment for the liquor or drug addiction,
investigate the "KEELEY CURE"
look for something that is substan-
tial and has stood the test of time.
Where health and happiness are con-
cerned you cannot afford to expert
ment or take chances, and for that
reason you cannot afford to take any
treatment but the "KEELEY."

tidential and all inquiries answered

BUSINESS IS fine.
Improvement In Trade Is Noted All
Along the Line.

New York, July 6.-Bradstreet's says:
The weeks developments have been in
the main favorable. These include the
arrival of much needed moisture in
parts of, the Northwest; the regaining
LOT some earlier ground lost by the corn
and cotton crops; the continuance OF
exceptional activity in finished steel
outputs; the enlargement of fall trade
and last but not least, the expansion
due to hot weather and midsummer
holiday influences, of demand at retail.
The net result is the growth of a rather
optimistic feeling in general trade and
industrial circles.
Encouraging reports come from the
iron and steel industry. The last half
of 1912 opened with a noteworthy spirit
of optimism, born OF heavy specifica-
lions, liberal consumption so far as sur
face indications go, a favorable recep-
ton of higher prices recently inaugu-
rated on various finished products. The
railways have again started to buy cars
and locomotives, export trade is of en-
couraging proportions, and there is q
heavy volume of structural steel bust
ness in prospect.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending July 4, aggregate 2,993,538
bushels, against 1,347, 275 this week last
year.
Corn exports for the week are 49, 2T2
bushels, against 976,017 bushels in 1911
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending July 4 were 10,
against 239 last week, $50 in the like
week of 1911.
