mittee, and Mr.. Bicknell. as repraSen-
tative of the Red Cross. will direct the
distribution of supplies.
State Department officials have not
had a part in arranging the plans Of
the Rockefeller foundation for Bel
gian relief and will not discuss such
relief plans, owing to the controversy
which has arisen over Germany's
course
Charges have been made that Ger
man forces, which are administering
affairs in the greater part of Bel
gium, not only have taken no steps
toward relieving Belgian distress. but
have shipped food supplies out of
the country.
On the other hand it is said for
Germany that 1t is hard put to pro-
vide food supplies for its own troops
in the field and is in no position to
feed non-cOmbatants.

GENTLY ASSISTING NATURE

Those who find their breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, a mean feeling in the
head, will do well to try Plnklets, the
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because 1T means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. It is condition which,
if not corrected, becomes chronic,
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and persistent
treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatives, untortun..
ately so common, gives temporary rellef
but in the end asgravates constipation.
Pinkets are dainty, sugar-coated pills,
hardly larger than a mustard seed ana
they act gently, causing no nausea or
gripping. They aid digestion and are
good after-dinner pill, especially when
more food has been taken than the needs
of the body require. They clear away, the
waste and prevent congestion. WITH
little persistence, which the result is well
worth, they really correct chronic con-

fine Aroostook kspublican !

Aroostook, admittedly the ''Garder
Spot Of New England, /" where agricul.
ture,grows and fourishes 40 in no other
section, where more potatoes are grown
per acre than anywhere else, doubling
and trebling some sections, where more
tons of hay are produced on the same
amount of land than in any eastern
State, where the yield Of oats and wheat
per acre is more than double the average
yield in the United States, FORCES one
more link in the chain Of wonderful pro-
Effectiveness when the full returns of last
seasons crops are analysed.
According to General Agent Snow
figures, Aroostook shipped out in June
over the b. & A. 685, 211 bushels of po-
tatoes, making the total of the season
which went out over that road 1867,
023 bushels. In addition to the B. & A.
road the shipments over the C. P. R.
now form quite an important factor in
carrying out the county's crops. The
Aroostook Valley road hauled to WASH
burn junction with this road nearly a
million and half bushels. As the C. p.
R. few years ago carried out over g.
600, 900 bushels, and has since that time
increased its business in that line, and
with the added link of the electric road,
the total number of bushels OF potatoes
going out of the county by other roads
than the B. & A. must be in the neigh
borbood of 5000, 900, or total output
of nearly "a, 600, 900 bushels. The amount
used for seed stock, home consumption
and starch factories would not come far
from 5000, 900, giving grand total of
about 27,0O0,000 bushels of potatoes
raised in Aroostook last year
The financial end? Taking as basis
the "a, 600, 900 bushels sold, and we'll in
formed potato dealers say the average
price has not been short of $1.35 per
barrel, and the gross returns to the hus-
bandmen of Midas-touched .Aroostook
from their one crop, not to mention the
hay, oats, etc., or the lumber industry,
is about SIP, 0OO, 900. As the population
of the county is about $4,000 the above
figures would give to every man, woman
and child an average gross income from
one product of about $500.
OF course there is an expense, an out
90 for fertilizer, draft horses, etc., but
when one seasons crop can produce SO
much wealth, is it any wonder that the
farmers in this Ceres-kissed county can
have such modern homes, with all con-
veniences, own automobiles and live in
the lap of luxury, as it were? Is it any
wonder that the eyes of the commercial
centers are focused upon US? Is it any
wonder that other agricultural sections
gaze upon US with envious glances? Is
it any wonder the county has been call
ed the Garden Spot of New England?"
