ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS
BOOKED FOR BIG YEAR
Association Has Increased 100 Per
Cent. with Representatives Now in
Largest Commercial Centers.

The development which the year 1s1s-14
has witnessed in the electric vehicle field
is phenomenal. Starting OF last year in
October the Electric Vehicle Association
had but 437 members, with but two cities
in which local organizations had been
organized. Since that time the member
ship has been increased to approximately
$50 about 100 per cent, and the sectional
representation has expanded until 1t now
includes New England. Chicago, Phila-
deiphia, Washington. Cincinnati, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, New
York, Detroit. Cleveland, and Toronto
with expectations of having local sec
tions in the immediate future in Buffalo,
st. Louis, and three or four other cities.
In each Of these local sections organfZed
efforts are being put forth to promote the
sale and use OF electric vehicles. both
passenger and commercial, and 1t is safe
to predict that these mediums will great
ly facilitate electric vehicle development
work in 1914-15.

Now that We have dug the Panama

matte here. And even before the first

prove more serious than that Of Mexico.

Central and South America in their
palmiest insurrecto days were not in
the class with this black island. There
are seven revolutions in progress at the
present moment. one in Haiti and six

Besides this, innumerable bands Of

For 100 years the island has been in

WILD RUNAWAY
DOWN WATER STREET

AS the horse attached TO the Gardiner
delivery wagon OF the Grand Union Tea
Co.. the property of Frank Auber of West
Gardiner, was standing in front of a
house on Harrison avenue he became
startled at something and bolted. Along
Harrison avenue, through Fountain street
and down Winter hill he dashed avoid
ing several collisions until Water street
was reached. Here the wagon collided
with an electric light pole near Days
store. The impact threw the horse to
the ground, cutting him slightly about the
fore legs. The shafts and whfffietree were
demolished and the off hind wheel badly
dished The animal quickly regained his
feet and with tapping harness continued
his wild career through Water street. AS
he neared the corner OF Main avenue he
slowed down and was stopped in front
of Harrington's coal office. The contents
OF the wagon had shifted position and
was badly proken and messed up.

Eat Less Meat
Ii Back Hurts
Take a glass of Salts to flush kidneys
if bladder botl,ers you.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says n well-lnown authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region
rheumatic twinges. severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid liv-
er, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and Stimulate them to normal
activity; also neutraliZe the acids in
tb4 urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing 1t with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt.
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat UNI
til your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tific discovery. it is now possible to
combine into simple form the very ele-
ments needed by the digestive organs
to help them convert food into rich,
fat-laden blood. This master-stroke
of modern chemistry is called Sargol
and has been termed the greatest of
flesh builders. Sargol aims through
it's re-generative, reconstructive pow
ers to coax the stomach and intestines
to literally soak up the fattening ele-
ments of your food and pass them into
the blood, where they are carried to
every starved, broken-down cell and
tissue of your body. You can readily
picture the result when this amazing
transformation has taken place and
you notice how your cheeks flll out,
hollows about your neck shoulders and
bust disappear and you take on from
10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh,
Sargol is absolutely harmless mex
pensive, efficient Bowditch- Webster
Co. and other leading druggists of Au-.
gusta and vicinity have it and will re-
fund your money if you are not salts
fed, as per the guarantee found in
every package.
Caution:-While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming nerv-
Gus dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles il should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten.
