LETTER FROM LIEUT.. H. E. MARI,
u. S. A.

The following extract from a letter
from Lieut.. Mari to the Pennington
Chronicle will interest our readers in
Searsport and elsewhere.
The past summer has been a some
what remarkable one for mel crossed
the Pacific once for my wedding, then
twice with my bride, and now she is back
at her home in Searsport, Me-, while /
am down here in northern Oklahoma. In
cidentally much prefer Maine, but my
wishes in the matter were not consult
ed, When we reached Honolulu in June,
en- route to the Philippines, we learned
that my battalion had been ordered from
the Islands to Schofield Barracks, Oahu,
H. T., and were told that we might re-
main there and wait its arrival. But
thinking that might arrange to remain
in the Islands another year and complete
my three years tour of foreign service,
we decided to go on.
We arrived in Manila July 18, and found
the batteries all packed and ready to sail
on the outgoing transport. was unable
to secure a delay, with the result that
after ten days in that city, we set out on
the return voyage A week later we made
Nagasaki, Japan, most interesting
place to visit, and as we were storm
bound there for four days we had an op-
portunity to do considerable sight See
ing. While yet two days out of Honolu-
lu | received orders by wireless to con-
tinue on to the States and report at the
School of Fire September Is for the reg
ular three months course of instruction.
AS the station here is only temporary, no
quarters are available for the families
of student officers; consequently Mrs.
Mari must either remain alone IN Homo
lula. my permanent station, or return
home She chose the latter. We ar
rived in San Francisco August 31st, and
left for the East September "a. We
stopped two days at the Grand Canyon,
Arizona. and ! accompanied Mrs. MARI
as far as Newton, Kan, then turned
south and reported here for duty on the
ninth.
The School OF Fire is recent military /
institution, established about |
two years ago, and located at Fort Sill
on account of the unusually excellent !
terrain, which serves a purpose for field |
artillery officers similar to that of the
School of Musketry for infantry which
year ago was brought here from the Pre-
sidio of Monterey, Cal. Officers of the !
field artillery OF all grades from field .
officers down are detailed here to study |
and perfect themselves in the latest
methods and kinds of big gun firing, so
that this branch of the army may be /
maintained at its maximum efficiency. |
The school has undoubtedly produced re-
suits which more than justify its main
tenance, and although it means three
months unusually hard work and separa-
ton from his family, no officer regrets
being detailed here.

The Royal Month and the Royal Disease

Sudden changes of weather are especially
trying, and probably to none more so than to
the scrofulous and consumptive. The progress
of scrofua during normal October is COM
monty great. We never think of scrotula-its
punches. cutaneous eruptons, and wasting OF
the bodily substance-without thinking of the
great good many sufferers from it have deriv.
ed from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose radical and
permanent cures of this one disease are enough
to make it the most famous medicine in the
world. There is probably not city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not proved its
merit in more homes than one, in arresting and
completely graduating scrofula. which is al
most as serious and as much to be feared as its
near relative-consumptio

GIRLS OF SCHOOL AGE
Need Dr.. Williams Pink Fills to Keep
Their Blood in Good Order.

Girls in their teens are often troubled
with thin blood, making the complexion
pale, sometimes greenish, the cheeks
thin, the lips colorless. There is short
ness of breath after the slightest exertion,
a general feeling of WEAKNESS and dis
inclination to study or work. Sometimes
a slight cough causes a feeling OF alarm
that tie lungs may be affected.
There is one remedy that will surely
correct this form of anpmia in growing
girls and that is DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The action of these pills IN such cases IS
direct and certain.
Every mother whose daughter is pale
and thin owes it to her ciild's future to
at once give her a course Of treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Neglect
at this time may result in lifetime OF
misery. Your druggist sells DR.. Will
lams' Pink Pills.

State Highways.

The State Highway Commission has
started survey party at Woolwich, and
from there the party will work toward
Rockland. Last Monday two more par i.
ties were put on the road, one working
from Belfast to Rangeley, and the other
from Rangeley to Pennington. 1t is the
purpose of the Highway Commission to
complete the survey of as many miles of
the main trunk lines as possible before the
ground freezes. This survey will be COM
pleted this winter and specifications pre-
pared in order that as much work as
possible can be put under contract for
next season.

THE PREVENTION OF FIRES.
Suggestions That if Followed Will Save
Many Losses.

Honorable J. w. Blunt, Insurance
Commissioner of the State, is calling at
| tention to some of the cases of fires
which, with little care, could be pre-
vented. His suggestions regarding
chlmneys, furnaces, stove-pipes, ashes
and kerosene as an iluminant, are of
especial value at this time when we are
about to make the most use of these
the fact that this is the season of the
year when large percentage of the fires
reported to the insurance department are
shown to have been caused by careless
ness and neglect of the occupant to see
that the heaters, furnaces and stoves
and the connections thereof, which in
many cases have not been used since last
spring, are in suitable condition to I'M
dertake the work to be imposed upon
them. A little effort and care now may
save you from bad fire later in the win
ter. You, as householder or tenant,
should see that the chimney is in good
repair, and if you find bricks loose or NOR
tar falling out between the bricks it
should be repaired at once, as many fires
are caused by the condition of chimney
neglect. Also see that the chimney is
cleaned. If possible have the creosote
which has collected removed. Don't
wait until it burns out itself, for if you do
you may be without a home some cold
night during the coming winter.
Have your stove pipe taken out and
clear ed. 1t won't cost much and may
save bad fire; if it is found to have
rusted through, or the seams to have
opened, insist on its being replaced or re-
paired. Stoves should always be placed
on a sheet of zinc or some other metal.
This should be extended in front of the
stove some little distance to catch ashes,
Goals and burning wood which is likely
to fall on the floor. If the stove is set
within three feet of the wall a shield of
metal or asbestos board, which is not
expensive, should be placed over the
woodwork or plastering. This should
extend at least foot above the top of the
stove. A little time along these lines
may save serious fire.
Ashes are another source of danger.
They should never be placed in wooden
boxes, barrels or receptacles of this ma
ture or piled up against the back OF
wooden buildings or partitions. Many
fires have been caused by these things,
which are sheer carelessness.
Another great danger from fire i:
caused by kerosene lamps. Lamps are
/ responsible for nearly two thousand fire!
/ each year in the United States. Under M
circumstances fill a lamp which is burn
ing. Never use paper shades. If lanterns
are used around the barn be sure to han&
them up Do rot leave them on tn
floor for the cat or dog to upset.
A little attention to these things ma,
save you a big loss, and if people as
whole in the State of Maine would exer
else an amount Of care along these line
we would not have as many fires as W
do now by one-half,

GOVERNMENT REPORTS LOWEST
FIRE LOSS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6. 1918. With
the middle of September the fire season
on the national forests came practically
to an end with less damage than ever
recorded. There is always some danger
from carelessness of campers or of set
tiers burning brush and clearing land,
but the real danger season extends only
from the middle of June until the middle
of September.
Forest officers throughout the west
are congratulating themselves on a sea-
son So markedly free from heavy losses.
They feel that the immunity from loss
has been due to two principal causes,
partly to favorable season, but, largely
to a much better organization for fire
prevention than has been attained here
tofore. The effectiveness of the organ l.
cation is shown particularly by the fact
that while there were in all approximate
ly2, 26O fires, as against =, 470 last year,
yet the area burned so far this year is
only about 60, 600 acres as against 230, 0Oo
acres in 1912, and 78O, 600 in 1911.
A single administrative district, which
covers the intermountain region OF
southern Idaho, western Wyoming, Utah,

example of the most favorable situation.
Only 43 fires were encountered, ~ OF
which originated in Idaho. The total area
burned over amounted to only 956 acres,
which is considerably less than four one
hundred thousandths of the total area pa
trolled by forest officers in these States.
California Arizona, and New Mexico
have suffered most during the past sea-
son. The various causes of fires have not
changed greatly in their relative, proper
tions. Railroads and lightning head the
list, with campers next. There has
been, however, marked decrease in
the number of fires caused by burning
brush, which, according to the forest
officers, indicates closer cooperation
with the settlers in and near the forests
and with timberland owners in flre pre-
vention and control. 1t ia still true.
nevertheless, that large proportion OF
all fires started are due to human agen,,
cies and may generally be charged
against carelessness. Fires caused by
lightning are of course not preyentabie.
but the system of lookouts by which they
may be detec1ed Immediately after beng
set is greatly lessening the loss from this
source.

This craftsman bungalow,
just completed, is one of the
finest examples of it's kind in
the city. If you are looking for
a house that is absolutely unique
this will surely appeal to you.
The hall, living room and dining
room are finished in white
enamel, and are all connected by
plate glass sliding doors. There
are two fine window seats, fire
brick mantel and oak floors in
these rooms. In addition there
is a large kitchen with pantry
and screened porch downstairs.
Upstairs there are four bed
rooms, all finished in white with
we'll decorated walls. The clos
cts throughout are unusually
large. At $A25O this is very
attractive buy.
Near Eleventh East we have
an eight-room modern, two
story home, complete in every
detail. The entrance hall, living
room, library and dining room
have oak floors and beamed cell
ings, while in the living room
and library are massive brick
fireplaces. On the second floor
are four large bedrooms, with
a tiled and white enameled
bathroom. On the third floor is
a large room suitable for a bill
lard room. The basement is
fully cemented and has a fur
mace. There is a large front
porch, a screened rear porch, and
two sleeping porches. At the
rear of the lot is a house that
could easily be converted into a
garage. You cannot duplicate
this place for less than $7500.00,
but we can sell it to you for
$4,000, because the owners pro-
fession has taken him out Of the
city. He is to be gone perma-
nently and will sacrifice for q
quick sale.
