The Develop Maine
Movementin Augusta

The campaign for members of the
Develop Maine movement is on in
earnest in Augusta. This city has q
popula ton of about 1850 and 1t is the
hope of the officers that the Augusta
membership will reach 10 per cent. OF
the population, or about 1850. Augusta
is the home of the movement and the
offices are located here. Her citizens
will be among the first to derive bene-
fits from the movement.
Through arrangements with the
school authorities, five Cony high
school boys have divided the city into
zones and are making house to
house canvass for members. The boys
are paid a percentage ON their col
lections to compensate them for their
efforts In addition another percentage
of the total sum collected in the city
will be divided among the three who
collect the largest sums, as prizes.
These boys are W. b. Hall, F. L.
Beale, c. w. Martin, E. 4. Richard
son, and Samuel E. Jones. They will
interview everyone in the city before
they finish their work, but, through
the zone arrangement, no prospective
member will be approached by more
than one solicitor. In this manner the
annoyance of several solicitors call
ing on one person, with the consequent
waste of energy on the part of solicit
tors, will be avoided.
The movement is spreading through
the State like prairie fire. Oranges,
schools, Boards of Trade, women's
clubs and individuals are taking it up,
securing members and talking the new
boost spirit. The Augusta members
are very anxious to make this city the
banner city in point of membership.
The student solicitors are very anx-
ious to win the prizes as we'll as earn
a substantial sum for pocket money.
The movement is strictly non-polit-
ical and non-sectarian. 1t has the en-
dorsement of every candidate for gov
ernor in the Democratic, Republican
and Progressive parties and of Demo-
cratic and Republican politicians and
officeholders and former officeholders.
1t counts among its members and sup
porters members and clergy of every
political faith.

When Feeling Tired
Hoods SarsaparIIa Builds Up the
Whole System-Makes Pure Blood.

That tired feeling that comes to
you in the spring, year after year, is
sign that your blood lacks vitality,
Just as pimples, boils and other erup-
tions are signs that it is impure: ana
it is also sign that your system is
in low or rundown condition In
viting disease. 1t is a warning,
which it is wise to heed.
ASK your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This old standard tried
and true blood medicine relieves
that tired feeling. 1t cleanses the
blood, gives new life. new courage,
strength and cheerfulness. 1t makes
the rich red blood that will make
you feel, look, eat and sleep better.
Be sure to get Hoods. because it is
the best. There is no other COM
bination of roots, banks and herbs
like it-no real substitute for it-no
lust as good medicine.-Adv.

SULPHUR IS THE
ONLY THING FOR
ITCHING ECZEMA

In the treatment Of the various forms
of disfiguring, itching and burning
Eczema, such as Acne, Ringworm, Salt
Rheum, there is nothing known that
can take the place Of bold-sulphur
cream.
1t effects such prompt relief, even in
the aggravated Eczema, that it Is
never-ending source of amazement to
physicians.
For years bold-sulphur has occupied
a secure position in the treatment Of
cutaneous eruptions by reason of its
cooling, parasite-destroying properties.
Bold-sulphur is not only parasiticidal,
but antipruritic and antiseptic, there
fore invaluable in overcoming irritable
and intlammatory affections of the
skin. While not always establishing a
permanent cure, yet in every instance
1t instantly stops the agonizing itch
ing; subdues the irritation and heals
the infiamed. raw skin right up and it
is often years later before any Eczema
eruption again appears.
Those troubled should obtain from
any good pharmacist an ounce of bold
sulphur cream and apply it directly
upon the abrasion like an ordinary
cold cream. 1t isn't unpleasant and
the prompt relief afforded Is very
welcome Ado

A letter received this week from
Otis C. Webster. who has been WIN
tering at ST. Petersburg, Fla, indi-
Gates that though he is far removed
from his favorite haunts at Cobbos-
seecentee the spring fishing fever has
secured a good hold on him, for the
greater part of the letter is devoted
to the subject of catching kingfish
off the st. Petersburg shore. These
fish grow as large as 90 or 80 pounds
and are caught by hand lines, rod
and reel, or trolling, and take the bait
with such avidity that oftentimes
when one fish has been caught an
other will come along and bite off the
line before the first fish can be land
ed. Mr.. Webster admits in the letter
that he. had caught no kingfish, but
that a few days ago he bought one
for Is cents that furnished himself
and family three dinners, and that
after giving a family next door enough
for a dinner he had to throw the
rest of the fish away to get rid of it.
In writing about this particular fish
he said that it reminded him of a
pickerel that John Lemieux of Au-
gusta once caught at Three-mile pond,
some years ago when he was cutting
cord wood in that section. and of
which fish, after three hearty men
had enjoyed breakfast from him there
remained seven pounds. which was
brought into town and sold to a local
fish dealer.

A TONIC FOR DYSPEPTICS

When food lies undigested in the
stomach it ferments and gas forms.
This gas distends the stomach ana
presses on the heart, causing a pain
that sometimes arouses fear of heart
trouble. The condition in which gas
forms Is caused by a low tone of the
digestive organs and a lack of rich
red blood resulting in deficient nerve
force. 1t is a condition that calls for
a tonic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, tonic for
the blood and nerves, have been used
with great success in the treatment or
this form of stomach trouble. Cold
baths in the morning followed by
brisk friction with rough towel will
help as they stimulate the circulation
but a tonic treatment with DIR. Will
.liams' Pink Pills by building up the
blood, restoring the nerve force and
making the stomach able to do it's
work gives the most lasting benefit.
With their use the appetite increases,
digestion becomes normal and i'm
provement in the general health fol-
lows with certainty.
You are trying no experiment when
you take DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
They cannot harm the most delicate
system.
You can get DIR. Williams Pink
Pills at the nearest drug store. A
copy of the diet book What to Eat
and How to Eat" will be sent free by

From statistics compiled at the Au-
gusta postoffice it is learned that dur
ing the recent weighing period which
began April l and continued 10 days
the number of parcels received for
delivery at the office under the par
eel post system was 6092; that the
number of parcels dispatched at the
office was 7O,533, and that the num-
Der of parcels handled during that
time reached the somewhat remark
able figure of 1876.
BY comparison with the number OF
parcels handled during the first 10
days of October, 1913, which was 3D.
226, the number handled during the
same period Of the current month
shows the business of the office to
more than have doubled over that or
October. While portion of this in
crease is due to the natural growth
of the parcel post business, a por-
ton is also due to the fact that books,
which were not under parcel post
regulations last October, now go by
parcel post.

Parcel Post Business in Augusta
Shows Big Increase Since October

The number of parcels delivered
during the first Is days of April
through the general delivery windows
and postofice boxes, by city carriers
on regular trips with other mail, by
rural carriers and by special delivery
was 1886. The number of parcels de-
livered by horse-drawn vehicles was
237S, against 76S for like period in Oc-
tober 1913 The cost of delivery by horse
drawn vehicles, including carriers
time was $500, and the cost of de-
livery by all other conveyances and
by substitute carriers on foot was $3.50.
The estimated cost Of clerk hire for
handling parcel post mail from April
to April IS was s191.7S, while for a
like period last October it was S255.S4,
a marked decrease in the April ex-
pense Notwithstanding the increased
amount of matter handled.
The following table shows a COM
parison of the business transacted by
the office during the two weighing
periods mentioned above:
