GAS ON THE STOMACH

Flatulence, or gas in the digestive tract,
ls an annoying accompaniment OF lntes'
final indigestion and constipation. AS Q
rule it indicates that food is being retain
ed in the stomach and intestines longer
than nature intended.
When colicky pains accompany, the
presence of gas the need of a gentle laxa-
tive to clear away the offending food resi-.
due is imperative. Ii the condition OF
constipation is not quickly corrected
coated tongue, eruptions on the skin,
headaches and backaches soon show that
the poisons have found their way into
the circulation.
The use OF the gentle laxative pills,
Pinkleta, will not only Danish these un,
pleasant symptoms quickly but, If used
regularly for a reasonable time, Will
really correct chronic constipation.
Pinklets are not like harsh purgatives
that leave the bowels dry and in the end
worse than before. Pinklets gently assist
nature, never grippe and are so small and
easy to take that they are known as the
dainty laxative. -,

THE NICHOLS WILL CASE.
Hearing Before Justice Bird In Portland


PORTLAND, Me-, Oct. 80. Property to
the value of $241 1000 was involved in
hearing before Justice Bird of the Su-
preme court in chambers Thursday. The
property is that left by the late Mrs.
Henrietta Thompson Nichols of Sears
port. She made requests in will, but
just which will she meant as hers, for
there were supposed to be two, and how
the property will eventually be divided,
are some of the questions that Justice
Bird will have to solve.
In 1911, Mrs. Nichols made will, but
this was destroyed and copy of it was
presented for probate and allowed in
Waldo county on May IL of this year. 1t
was also found that another paper had
been drawn which altered in some par.
ticulars the provisions of the first will
This second document, it is maintained,
is not legal will, for it bears the sigma
lures of but two witnesses when the law
requires three. The question at issue is
whether the copy of the first will was an
authentic one and whether or not it should
be allowed.
The appeal from the decision of the
Judge of probate has been made by Fred
P. Thompson of Chicago. a nephew Of
the testatrix. He ls one of the six heirs
at law, all of whom are nieces and nep-
hews. Bequests to the sum of about
$40, 600 were made to various Waldo coun-
ty institutions, Should the will not be
allowed, then the heirs at law would
receive more proportionately.
Fred W. Brown of Belfast appears for
Mr.. Thompson and Hon. William Penn
Whitehouse of Augusta, former chief
Justice of the Maine Supreme court, and
Henry w. Swasey of Portland appear
for the estate.

THANKSGIVING, NOV. 10Th.
The Presidents Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. President Will
son today issued proclamation desie-
mating Thursday, Nov. 26th, as Thanks
giving day.
The Presidents proclamation dwelt on
the peaceful situation in which America
now finds herself, while much of the.rest
of the world is at war. 1t said in part:
"It has long been the honored custom
OF our people to turn in the fruitful au-
tumn of the year in praise and thanks
giving TO Almighty God for his many
blessings and mercies. The year, while
a wear of discipline because of the mighty
forces of the war and of change which
have disturbed the world, also has been
year of special blessing.
ut has been vOuchsafed to us to re-
main at peace, with honor, and in some
part to succor the suffering and supply
the needs of those in want. We have
been privileged by our own peace, and
self-control, in some degree. to steady
the counsels and shape the hopes and
purposes of day of fear and distress.
Our people have looked upon their own
life as a nation with deeper compre-
hension, a fuller realization of their re-
sponsibilities as we'll as of their blessings
and a keener sense of the moral and
practical significance of what their part
among the nations of the world may
come to be.
COOPERATION STIRRED.
"The hurtful effects of foreign war in
their own industrial and commercial af-
fairs have made them feel the more full
ly and see more clearly their mutual in
Independence upon one another and has
stirred them to helpful cooperation
such as they have seldom practiced be-
fore. They have been quickened by
great moral stimulation. Their unmis-
taxable ardor for peace, their earnest
pity and disinterested sympathy for
those who are suffering, their readiness
to help and think of the needs of others,
have revealed them to themselves as
we'll as to the world.
"Our crops will feed all who need food;
the self-possession of our people amidst
the most serious anxieties and difficult
ties and the steadiness and resourceful-
ness of our business men will serve other
nations as we'll as our own.
BUSINESS DOOMED.
"The business of the country has been
Suppueu Win new observation-disclosures anu
the commerce of the world new channels
of trade and intercourse. The Panama
canal has been opened. The two CONT
nents of America have been bound in
closer ties of friendship. New instru-
mentalities of international trade have
been created which will be also new in
strumentahties of acquaintance, inter-
course and mutual service.
"Never before have the people of the
United States been so situated for their
own advantage or the advantage of their
ne1ghbors or so equipped to serve them
selves and mankind.
''Now, therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of Amer
lea, do hereby designate Thursday, the
twenty-sixth of November next. as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer, and IN
vite the people throughout the land to
cease from their wonted occupations and
in their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks to Almighty Cod"

MENTIONING NAMES.

Not long ago man ca me into TINS Of
flee and stopped his paper because he said
it was always printing lot OF news
about the same people and he was sick
of it.
Now, when something goes wrong
with the country the Government APP
points commission to investigate ana
find out what is the matter. And the
first thing the commission inves tigates
is the man who made the boiler to see if
the boiler was a reasonable holler.
So we appointed commission consist
ing of ourself to investigate this man.
We didn't have to go out anywhere to do
it. We just sat in the editors uneasy
chair and followed that mans career
ever since we knew him.
The first thing that happened to that
man was that he was born, but he had
nothing to do with that. However, we
mention it, and mentioned him, al
though his parents were entitled to all
the credit.
When he was in his early twenties he
got married, and we mentioned that, in
Guiding the name of the bride and the
preacher and the relatives from some-
where else. In fact we mentioned every
thing but the preachers fee which was
hardly worth mentioning.
We must confess that the only time we
have ever mentioned him since was to say
that he was wearing broad smile be-
cause of an arrival of boy or girl.
We searched our files but we must own
up that the only time he ever broke into
the paper was by the help of somebody
else.
We never mentioned the fact that he
ever won any premiums at the county
fair, because he never exhibited any,
thing. We never included his name in
list of committees because he never at
tended anything. We never printed his
name in list of donors to anything, be-
cause he never donated so much as a
doughnut.
We certainly have been treating this
man shameful. But We will agree to
run nice obituary when the time comes
and tell you who were at the funeral.
We will even give him special prcmi-
hence, although we honestly believe he
will be the most unimportant person
there.
At the same time, we are afraid we
will have to go right ahead mentioning |
those people that we have been mention
ing with such frequency. They have
habit of boosting the board of trade, |
and helping the church, and mixing in
politics, and getting up parades, and
financing the baseball team, and run
ming the lodges and lot of other things
SO their names are bound to creep into |
the paper.
But, come to think of it, that isn't
news about them so much as it is news
about the town. For it is such things as
these that are making the town life and
the town progress; and, if we left their
names out, we would pretty nearly have
to leave out the name of the town. And
we won't do that-not if We lose two
subscribers. Fairfield Journal.

THE DEVELOP MAINE MOVEMENT.

Maine people do not realize how anx-
ious the natives of the State are to hear
good news from home. When son of
Maine living far away learns that an
effort is being made to build up the busi-
ness and prosperity of Maine, he is in
terested at once and frequently offers
his aid. Here is a case in point.
Charles B. Morse, native of Maine,
now engaged as teacher at Eleele, Ha-
wailan Islands, visited California in Au-
gust and while there came upon a copy
of the Rockland, Me-, Courier Gazette.
Of course he read every line of It.
1t was paper from home. Among
the articles he saw was one concern
ing the Develop Maine Movement. He
was interested and wrote the treasurer
a letter asking for further information.
He expects to come East in 1915 and
will purchase a farm in Cumberland or
Androscoggin counties. He has sampled
the living conditions over half the earth
and wants to come back to Maine.
Thousands of Maine sons and daugh-
tiers would come back to Maine if they
realized what Maine now has to offer in
the;way of opportunities. The day is pass
ed when Maine stood still The State is
advancing and it is in the country that
is advancing that fortunes are made.
The Develop Maine Movement means to
tell the world that Maine is moving for
ward. 1t will help every man, woman
and child who owns property or earns
living in the State. You ought to be a
member. If you are not, get in touch
with the solicitor in your town. If that
is not convenient send your name. ad

A WAR ORDER FOR SHOES,

The European war brings prosperity
to Gardiner. AS result of the war the
R. P. Hazard Co., with what orders are
now in sight, will make more shoes from
now until way into the spring than has
been made at any time since the factory
started. This enterprising firm has Sc
cured an order for 80. 900 pairs of army
shoes for one of the allies. These shoes
are to be delivered prior to January l,
and the company is planning on turning
out $500 pairs daily along with normal
output of their regular product. These
shoes are made out of heavy leather and
the order calls for hobnails in the soles.
This will give employment to 90 or rs
men not now in the factory, and Mr..
Hazard hopes to pick them from the
natives of Gardiner and vicinity. Re

WASHINGTON. Oct. 81, 1914. Congressman
Frank P. Woods Of Iowa. Chairman of the
National Republican Congressional Committee,
made the following statement today:
"The Democratic party enters the conclud-
ing week of the campaign of 1914 with only
two assets-the war in Europe and the eph-
emeral Bull Moose party. The Republican
party is coming back into power. Indications
today point to the obiteration of the present
no longer the least doubt of sweeping Repub-
lican gains in every quarter of the United
States.
1.-THE people are dissatisfied with Democratic
incompetency. They are weary of Democratic
experiments. They are tired of Democratic
receptions. There is good reason for this.
The American citizen has Jared poorly both at
home and abroad. industry is stagnant. Busi-

ever before in this country. The Democrats

ton of Democracy's ineficiency and of it's

rome as an excuse for all their failures only
goes to show the dire straits in which they
found themselves as a result of the visionary
experiments.

party"
