Inexpensive method, be changed to one of
hower-like radiance and purity. One
ounce of common mercolized wax, sold by
DRUGGISTS generally, Will remove the most

layer of thin film-skin which hides the
healthier skin underneath is gradually
licked off in tiny, almost invisible parti-

inconvenience, and no trace is left on
the skin except that of enhanced beauty.
The wax is smeared on like cold cream

If the skin be wrinkled or saggy, a face

Hearing on Appeal in
Case of Will of Late
d. H. Mudgett, Dexter

A hearing was held Tuesday before
Associate Justice A. NJ. Spear in the
supreme court at Bangor on the ap-
peal made from the decree of the
judge of probate rendered in the mat
ter of the estate of the late David H
Mudgett of Dexter. Henry Hudson Of
Guilford appeared for the appellants
and P. HI. Gillin of Bangor and F. d.
Dearth of Dexter for the widow.
NJ. Louise MIDGET widow of David
Fl. Mudgett. was allowed under a de-
cree of the probate court an allow
ance of 1914 from the estate If her
husband, and no appeal was taxed at
the time owing to the fact that other
heirs had no notice of the act OF the
court An appeal was allowed by the
supreme court later and on Tuesday
the hearing was held under this ap-
peal.
The appellants are Hattie A. Scales
of Guilford, Mrs. Beatrice l.. Oak
ley of Portland and John E. r. Mud
gett of New York
They contend that the allowance
made by the court below was excess
sive, unreasonable and not necessary,
according to the decree and estate of
her husband and the state of her fam
lily under her care.
1t is set forth in the appeal that
David II. Mudgett left no children and
no lineai heirs and that the widow has
no family under her care. By settle
ment of her account as administra-
trix, she received the sum of $235S.21
as fees. BY the settlement and allow
ance of the account there is a balance
of S39, 4S9, of which sum she will re-
eeive under the law one-half or $19,-
1883 80, which the appellants contend
is adequate.
Under the appeal the decree Of the
court below is vacated and 1t is new
up to the supreme court to nix the
amount of the allowance of the widow.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are sf-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inf1amma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that SCOTS Emulsion buiidn
strength while relieving the trouble.

Big Lumber Cut Next Winter

The lumber cut on the Kennebeu
river and tributaries is expected to ex-
coed the amount of last year. This is
in a way due to the increase in de-
mand for paper and the war has tend
ed to increase business. One com
pany that did not plan to cut any
lumber this season, now plans to cut
100000 feet. The cut last season
was about 157,000,Oo0 feet. Crews are
now being hired out every day to go
to the big woods. The Kennebec Log
Driving Co. is at work with a crew OF
men clearing the river of obstacles to
facilitate driving conditions. AT
Skowhegan the crew is blasting the
lodges below the dam and work will
be done in repairing and building new
piers and bumpers.

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES,
 MANUFACTURES, AGRICULTURE

"Ft1t fSs Sbt1Sg HSshSS@h ~''@
 The presence of dogwood blos- sons remind us that it is time for corn to be planted. In fact thou sands of acres have been planted and much of it is coming up. i Good preparation of the land be- fore planting is half the battle in making a good crop. The corn and cotton should both be plant ed in flat seed beds if practical. If the ground is too low. then bed it just enough to protect from standing water. zi After planting if a baking rain forms q crust the harrow should be run over before the crop comes up. The first blowing of corn may be deep if it is thought best. After that cultivate shallow and level. Two inches is deep Ienough. Good seed, good land preparation. and keeping out the weeds and grass are the main that man con do to make a crop. The stirring of the soil has something to do with the moisture, and the letting of air into the soil. Shallow cultivat- ion turns up the moist earth so the moisture will evaporate and escape.
 A recent experiment made in Illinois that will prove interest ing. Six different methods were employed in corn cultivation in the same field sall the land being prepared alike and planted alike. In the first the crop was not plow- ed or cultivated at all, but the weeds fand grass were scraped away with the hoe. The crop made 68.2 bushels to the acre. In the second the crop had four shallow cultivations, and made ] 70.3 bushels to the acre. In the third there were four deep culti- vations, and the crop mode 66 z bushels to the acre. In the fourth the crop had eight shallow culti- vations and made 728 bushels to the acre. In the fifth case the crop had eight deep cultiyations and made GA l-2 bushels to the acre. In the sixth there was no .cultivation at all, and no crop was made. Il the experiment had been made during drouth or dry season the d fl e r e nc e would have been greater.
 Cow peas have been scarce and high this year. Do not fail to grlw some this season. Plant few acres in the drill, and gather and thresh them. Get you a pea thresher. They are not eXpen- sive. and are useful. Every farm should have one. Plant peas on every rln down part of the farm. and be sure to follow your oats with peas.
 By all means provide good pasture. You will need 1t for your work stock, A good pas ture saves lots of money. It will keep the stock going on light fee when not at work. Rem ember it cost about twice as much to feed work horse as it does to feed farm hand. Every hour the work stock spends in good pasture is a saving of money. Pasture for the summer and hay and forage crops for the winter will help you to be a success as
