MAINE.

The first definite and Adecisive step toward the formation of Maine as a separate State was taken ninety-fve years ago to-day. when the Massachu- setts legislature granted the petition Of about seventy towns asking for separation. Under this separation act an election was held to name delegates to a convention in Portland, and tafs body elected William King president and appointed comnfttee to frame a consultation. In 1920 the United States Congress formally admitted Maine to the sisterhood of States. Portland was the first capital but in 1882 the seat of government was re- nleved to Augusta, where it has since refnained The northeastern part of Maine was originally q part of Aca- dia- After the revolution the boun- dary line between Maine and New Brunswick was not definitely decided, and Maine had been State for over twenty-two years before the contro- versy was settled The first perma- nent settlement in Maine was made at Monhegan in 1922. after several pre- yious attempts by both French and English coIonists had failed.

Get ounce of bold-sulphur cream and heal Eczema

For years, common bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cutapeous directions, by reason of its parasfte-destroytn prop erty It is not only parasiticidal. but also anti-pruritic, antiseptic and re- 11larkably healing in irritable and in hammatory conditions of the skin.
 The moment you apply it to an itch ing or broken out skin the itching stops and the healing begins, says a. noted dermatologist. Just common bold-sulphur made into a thick cream effects such prompt and remarkable results, even in aggravated Eczema that it is a never-endiHg source of amazenent to physicians.
 While not always establishing a permanent cure it never fails to sub due the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any erup- ton again appears on the skin.

London. June 19.-An elephant and rhinoceros congress- in which delegates represented all the great powers directly interested in Africa have participated, has finished a weeks sitting at the Foreign once, and as a result 1t is probable that efectIve action will be taken to pre- serve these animals from extinction in Africa
 The conference met at the sugges- ton of w. Woosrnan, game warden of British East Africa, who pointed out that the elephant and rhinoceroe are in greater danger Of eKternina~ ton than any other species of big game in Africa Delegates came from Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, It. ally and Portugal, all of which counr. tries have. colonies on tF1s African continent
 Although the proceedings will not be divulged until the delegates have reported to their home Governments it is understood the most important item in the plans of the meeting was the formation and maintenance Of absolute sanctuaries for the elephant and the r1lfnoceros in suitable Ioca1- ities. The shooting of these ani- maIs would then be permitted only on license the conditions of which would be made as nearly identical as possible in the different territories Absolute protection for the rhinocer. os would be given for a number cz years and the standard weight for Ivory for export would be raised to twenty-two pounds.
 The laws in the different territories have not only proved vexatious to the
 hunter. but have given refuge to the poaoher and illicit ivory dealer. Ev- 1 cry year the need for adequate pro- tection grows more urgent Both the elephant and the rhinoceros take
 Hong to attain maturity and, like the 1 American bison and elk, seem un-
 able to protect themselves from the
 modern hunter. They breed slowly and the stock is becoming dangerous I 1y reduced.
 Herds have been wiped out be- f cause of their occasional raids on l plantations, a course which Selous. the great game hunter, declares pn- l necessary, for the killing of their I leaders would effectively frighten
 away the rest of the herd.
 But the greatest destruction has been due to ivory hunting in the case
 of the elephant. and horns hide and meat in the case of the rhinoceros-
