The presence of good manners is
nowhere more needed or effective
than in the household and perhaps no.
where more rare. Whenever the
familiarity exists there is tendency
to loosen the check upon selfish con-
duct which the presence of strangers
involuntarily produces. Many per-
sons who are kind and courteous In
company, are rude and careless with
those they love best Emerson says:
Good manners are made up of petty
sacrifices" and certainly nothing can
more thoroughly secure the harmony
and peace Of the family circle than
the habit Of making small sacrifices
for one another. Children thus learn
good manners in the best and most
natural way, and habits thus acquired
will never lose their power or their
charm, while all spurious limitations
of them are to be despised.

and Bridge Work at Northern
Somerset

Those not in touch with the changes
appreciate what is going on there in
the line of new roads and bridges.
Last season a road was built by the
Great Northern Paper Company from
the Station at lockwood to a point
two miles in northerly direction to
point on Moose River about two
miles from its mouth. This season
the same company have continued this
road from the north bank of Moose
River in a northerly direction to Pitts
ton farm, about fifteen miles, also in
northerly direction. lockwood has
previously been known as Kineo Sta
ton and is the terminus of the Som
erset R. r. on the shores of Moosehead
| lake. Pittston farm is owned by the
Great Northern Paper Company and
these two roads will connect it with
the terminus of the Maine Central just
mentioned. Piers for a bridge across
Moose river TO join these highways
have been under construction by
Horace E. Reed of this place His
part of the work is now completed and
he returned here yesterday. 1t
should be understood that this road
from lockwood to Pittston farm,
| about seventeen miles, is an isolated
highway; that is, it is not touched or
connected at present with any other
carriage or auto road third road
is contemplated from lockwood, wes-
terly to intersect the Canadian road
somewhere south of Jackman, perhaps
at Parlin Pond. This will doubtless
be built next year and when complet-
ed it will be possible to go by auto
up the Kennebec valley through Bling
ham and The Forks to Parlin Pond,
thence to lockwood and thence to
Pittston farm, trip through heavily
wooded country which will hardly
have its equal in the world.
Another road is also laid out in
the same section. This starts from
the new bridge across Moose River
already mentioned, and is to run wes-
terly along the south bank of that
river to connect with piece of turn
pike road already built by the Hol-
lingsworth & Whitney Company in the
Brassua Lake region. When this is
built it would only require short
link of four miles from the westerly
end of the Hollingsworth Whitney
turnpike to connect it with the village
at Jackman. All this highway con-
struction is in the midst of what has
been until within very few years an
unbroken forest.

Thin Folks Made Fat

Good, healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food,
together with natural action of the
organs of assimilation. Nine people
out of ten in order to weigh as much
as they ought and be perfectly healthy,
should use Samose, the great flesh
forming food and health restorer.
Weigh yourself before commencing to
use these little tablets, and see how
your weight increases from weel: to
WeeR.
Samose does not contain a particle
of starch or pepsin, nor is it any
nauseating preparation, such as is
usually recommended to make people
fat and which does not build up good
healthy tissues. Samose has valuable
flesh-forming properties, tones up and
strengthens the whole system, helps
the food that is eaten to be assmilat-
ed in natural manner and absolute
~ restores health to all the organs.
If you are not perfectly satisfied
with the results from Samose. G. r,
Fogg will return your money without
any quibbling. Oct 8-15-22-29
