Charles A. Norton Of Branch Mills,
China, who was arrested in that town
Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff Jones of

ed before Judge Lancaster of the mu-

the store of the complainant to the
value of 5000, which larceny was al

plainant during the period between
March and May, 1913.
The respondent entered plea Of not
guilty, and while admitting that he
took the goods in question claimed

What Is Old Ags7
Some Younger at IS Than Others Are

Old age is not marked by years, but
by the stiffened frame, the hardened

So many people whom you meet
about the time they reach 40 begin by
saying II can't do this, and / can't do
that, because I'm getting old now
they begin to act old. feel old and they
are older in appearance than many who
are much more advanced in years.
When you begin to feel old, when
your energy begins to fail build your
self up with our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, Vinol. 1t is a wonderful
blood-maker and strengthened.
Fl. C. Klyce of Corinth, Miss, says:

very poor. 1 was in a rundown condi-
ton and felt that l must have q. tonic.
Vinol was recommended and 1t built
up my strength until / felt as strong

Sick Headache
PinkIets, tho New Laxative, Gives
Quick Relief In Most Cases.

As a rule a sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours in advance when an
attack is coming on.
The trouble is caused by gradual ac-
emulation Of poison generated In the
digestive organs and when certain
point is reached this poison produces
nausea and the attack follows
In very many cases the use of a proper
laxative before the condition of prostra-
ton is reached will force the poisons
from the system and the attack will be
avoided. Pinklets are a dainty laxative,
tiny, sugar -coated granules that arouse
no feeling of repulsion, and they act so
gently that they are the ideal laxative to
use in correcting a tendency to sick
headache. They do not upset the diges-
ton, do not grippe and have no unpleas-
ant effect to make them Objectionable to
the extra sensitive sick-headaehe patient.
Old-fashioned, harsh purgatives will not
do at all in such cases. For complete in
formation regarding the treatment of
sick headache send to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y. for the
Pinklet book. 1t is free.
Your own druggist can supply you with
Pinklets in 25-cent bottles.-Adv.

POTATO MEETING
AT BANGOR, me-,
GREAT SUCCESS.

Bangor, Me-, Jan. 29.-The first an
nnal Potato meeting of the State of
Maine Is now a matter of history, and
if the amount of interest taken is q
criterion, it will be the first of long
series of such meetings. A great amount
OF practical information was obtained
by the growers on the raising of
Names great crop. Someone said that
every man here has a unique and val
liable idea about potatoes that he
wishes to impart to hisIellow grow
ers."
After every address, there was a dis
cussion that sometimes lasted as long
as the address itself. Indeed at times,
| the speaker was interrupted in his
| address and made to answer questions
of the growers. It was a social meet
| ing, too, the routine of investigation of
methods being relieved by funny
story or two that a potato man would
rise to tell about his troubles in rails
| ing potatoes.
Clarence A. Day of Pressure Isle
told of the growth of the potato indus
try in Maine. In 1899 the acreage was
about $4,000 acres, and the crop was
valued at 100000. The number of
bushels raised was about 712,00o. In
| 1902 the crop amounted to $4,000, 000
bushels, with corresponding increase
| in the value and acreage.
Prof. w. ]. Morse of the University
of Maine, was the last speaker, dis
cussing Some Potato Diseases" G. w.
Cleaves of Easton, who was scheduled
| to give the final address, did not ap-
pear. There was long discussion at
the close of Prof. Morses formal re-
| marks, the growers firing questions at
him as fast as he could answer them.
Among other things, it was brought
out that the new Aroostook farm, at
Pressure Isle, which has been bought
by the State for the purpose of con-
Quoting experiments in potatoes. will
doubtless prove a boon to the grow
ers of Aroostook. Tests of potato
growing, conducted on one of the
largest and best potato farms of the
garden county, will be made in soil
that is typical of the Aroostook va
riety. Practically. nothing but pota-
toes will be experimental upon here,
the fruit and grain tests of the expert
ment station being confined to High
moor farm.
The formaldehyde treatment for dis
injecting potatoes was talked of at
length, Prof. Morse agreeing with pre-
viops speakers that the best method
for insurring an absence of blackleg
and other diseases is to soak the seed
in, formaldehyde liquid for several
hours Other ways of using this dis
infectant have been tried, such as
placing the potatoes in a closed room
and filling the room with formaldehyde
gas. If conditions are perfect, this may
be done successfully but it is difficult
for the grower to get a room hermet-
icaIiy scaled, which will keep the gas
confined. -
Sprinkling the liquid on pile of
potatoes Is not the best method, eth
er. for every portion Of the seed is not
reached in this manner. The safest
and best way Is to soak the seed in
the LIQUID. -

While coasting is one of the joys
nearest to the heart of every small
boy who has red blood coursing through
his veins, and it is safe to say that
the average Augusta youngster Is
thus blessed, observation leads to the
belief that quite a delegation of this
class between the ages of six and a
dozen years should have impressed
upon their youthful minds the fact
that Water street and streets leading
to that street are not the places for
the enjoyment of the sport, because Of
the dangerous feature Of the practice,
not only to the boys but to others as
well. Court street seems to be ia
vorite coasting place for the boys Of
that neighborhood, and while as yet no
youngster has run into the fence at the
side Of the walk that runs along at
the head Of the steps leading from the
railroad track, or slid under the fence
and taken drop down over the bank.
the chances of some one being being
hurt are good every day that the prac-
tice continues. The foot of Court street
from the Maine Central platform to
Water street, Rines hill and the foot
Of Winthrop hill are other favorite
places. The boys who use these places
are many of them too small to control
their sled or realize the danger. Thurs
day afternoon a little fellow came
from the foot of Court street across
Water street In front of a team, the
sled going so that he could not stop
it, and 1t did not stop until it went
slam against the side of Masonic Tenn
pie. The same afternoon another young
ster on a sled went across Water
street at Market square flying and
down the driveway leading to the
steamboat wharf. These boys got by
all right, but all boys are not born un-
der a lucky star.
