THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win
the Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised. all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself. as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kimer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a sale"
certified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation. the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that it fulfills almost every wish in over
coming kidney, liver and bladder dis
cases. corrects urinary troubles and neu-
tralizes the uric acid which causes rheu-
matism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

Assails Liquor
Evil Vigorously

Orono, Me, March 2-Rev. j. M.
Harrington, pastor of st. Mary of the
Assumption, delivered two striking
sermons at both morning services
Sunday, on the evil effects of intem-
perance. He used the gospel of the
day, which was that of st. Matt. Oh.
4, V. Ill, and which tells of the fast
and abstinence of Christ in the desert
as the key note of his discourses.
Father Harrington deplored the fact
that the majority of rumsellers are
members of the church and whilst he
made it plain that the sale of drink in
itself is not sin, or violation of
any of Gods commandments, yet the
abuse in its sale was both sinful and
scandalous.
He then showed mans relations to
God as Creator, to Christ as Redeem
er: his relations to society and his
sacred relations to himself. He dem
onstrated how the drunkard erased
the image of his Creator from his soul
by losing. through drink, the faculties
which make him a man; how he pre-
vents the Redeemer to extend the hand

Indigestion Overcome
Overcome by Simple Remedy.


Hurried and careless habits of eat
ing, irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonic, tend to weaken
the digestive organs and result in
different forms of stomach trouble.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu-
larly and take Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic.
Mrs. H. ]. Smith, Thomasville, Ga,
says: Il suffered from a stomach
trouble, was tired, worn out and ner-
vous. A friend advised me to take
Vinol. My stomach trouble soon dis
appeared and now I eat heartily and
have perfect digestion and I wish
every tired, weak woman could have
Vinol, for 1 never spent any money
in my life that did me so much good"
The recovery of Mrs. Smith was
due to the combined action Of the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties Of tonic
iron, which are contained IN Vinol.
We will return the purchase money
every time Vinol fails to benefit.

two ways in the State Of Maine. The
great wild land area is organized into
the Maine Forestry District for pro-
tective purposes, and the forests In
the organized towns and territory out
side the district are under a different
system.
You are all familiar with the af-
fairs of the forestry district. You
know that this district was created
by the Legislature of 1909 that you
are taxed directly for its support, and
think that most of you have a re-
port of the forest commissioner deal
ing with the work of the past year
You will notice in this statement that
at the beginning of the year 1918 there
were little bills outstanding amount
ing to $22, ,S6422 and that $15,50759 was
available for the payment of same.
These old bills have been paid, the
expenses Of the department paid for
the year 1918, and balance brought
over Of $S11S23, less a small amount
for abatement and uncollected taxes.
Fifteen new lookout stations were
established during the year bringing
the number up to AZ. These stations
reported 303 fires. One hundred and
seventy three patrolmen were en-
ployed during the season and II fires
were reported by them. The area
burned as reported was 1928 acres, the
estimated damage $685. and the cost
Of fire fighting $9935.79. This reported
damage of 1926 is, Of course. insig-
nificant when compared with the area
Of 9476,773 acres protected.
ga hout II miles Of feleDhone limos were
constructed during the season. additional
added, and all stations erected were
equipped with maps, glasses, alidades
compasses, etc.
This protective system is not perfect
and can be improved. 1 believe that it
is as efficient as any system in operation
now. We plan to build more lookout tow
ers. provide more adequate supervision.
install more fire fighting tools, extend
out telephone system, install camping out
fits sufficient for crews of fire fighters in
central localities, bring our stations up
to the best point of efficiency and gener-
ally to perfect the system.
Outside the district there is a wooded
arear of over 1000, eco acres. Here the fires
are handled by the selectmen of the towns
and the reported fire loss in this area last
year was five times as great as that in
the forestry district. I believe that the
next Legislature should appropriate s25, coo
for State wide protection, part of which
should go to the towns for the construc-
ton of lookout towers and for the pur-
chase of fire fighting equipment, and
think that the same system of protection
should be extended as is now in operation

A DELIGHTFUL LECTURE.
Mrs. Morrill, HamIin Tells Of Chinese
Republic Difficulties.

Mrs. Morrill, Hamlin of Portland gave a
delightful lecture Tuesday evening at the
parlors of Mrs. Frederick Danforth,
Pleasant street, on THE New Republic" !"
Although the evening was against there
being a large attendance, the spacious
parlors were filled and all felt amply re-
paid for the effort. Mrs. Hamlin Is a
lady of pleasing personality and force
full and convincing speaker. She traced
the development of China and gave the
causes that brought about the revolution
that resulted in the formation of the
present republic as many, thet we prin-
ciple ones being the revolt OF the pro-
vinces against government ownership or
the railroads and against the rule of the
nomadic Manchus. The exploitation of
China by England, France. Germany and
Russia and the retention of the open
door by the United States were skillfuliy
described by her. Yuan Shi Kai she des-
ignated as China's man of the hour, de-
scribing him as an ambitious diplomat
who introduced every civilized improve
,nent into the province over which he
was governor To DIR. Sun Vat Sen was
also ascribed much credit for the placing
of China among the republics of the
world.
The opium evil was traced from the In
PRODUCTION of the traffic In 1873 to the de-
cree of 1906 which lifted the ban OF the
opium trade forced on China by treaty,
so that In 1917 the last ton of opium will
be sent into that country.
During the last 133 years England alone
has exnorted to China the enormous sum
~ 20 1000 Oeoooo worth of opium to China.
