Gas On the Stomach

Flatulence, or gas in the digestive
tract, Is an annoying accompaniment
of intestinal indigestion and constipa-
is being retained in the stomach and
intestines longer than nature intend
ed.
When colicky pains accompany the
presence of gas the need of a gentle
laxative to clear away the offending
food residue is imperative. If the
condition of constipation is not quick
ly corrected a coated tongue, erup-
tons on the skin, headaches and back
aches soon show that the poisons have
found their way into the circulation.
The use of the gentle laxative pills,
Pinklets, will not only Danish these
unpleasant symptoms quickly but, IL
used regularly for a reasonable time,
will really correct chronic constipa-
ton.
Pinklets are not like harsh purga :
tives that leave the bowels dry and in
the end worse than before. Pinklets
gently assist nature, never grippe and
are so small and easy to take that they
are known as the dainty laxative.
Your own druggist can supply you
with Pinklets or they will be sent by
mail, postpaid, by the DIR. Williams

nearly s5o,oco,ooo as drawbacks under a
provision of law which entities them to a
refund of the duties paid on imported
articles used in the manufacture of ar

ENGLISH PULP
MAKER INTER-
ESTED IN MAINE
Talks with Pres. Arthur Chapin
Of State Board of Trade
On European Visit

President Arthur Chaplin of the
Maine Board of Trade, who has been
in Paris in attendance upon the Inter-
national Congress of the Chambers of
Commerce, with Mrs. Chaplin, returned
enjoyable trip. During their stay
abroad, they visited England, France
and Switzerland.
MIR. and Mrs. Chaplin sailed from
Boston on the steamer Laconia, in the
latter part of May with 432 delegates
to the international Congress from all
over the United States, the party hav-
ing been arranged under the auspices
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
At the wharf, a photographer from
Boston paper, who was evidently look
ing for the best looking people in the
party, although Mr. Chaplin denies it,
caught Mr.. and Mrs. Chaplin as they
were bidding farewell on the steamer,
and their pictures appeared in the
paper next day.
Arriving in Liverpool, they spent a
cay inspecting The Wonderful dock
system of that port and then took
the train for London, where they were
the guests OF the London Chamber of
Commerce fer few days. Baneuets,
tours of the city and various entertain
ments were features of the stay here.
At a banquet held in London, Mr.
Chaplin was introduced to an English
pulp manufacturer. who is said to own
the largest pulp mill in the world He
was much interested in Mr.. Chaplin as
the representative of a state that is
producing nearly as much pulp and
paper as any state in the Union, and
asked him how conditions were in that
business in Maine. He had heard that
the forests of Maine were being rap
IDLY depleted of their pulpwood trees.
Mr.. Chaplin assured him that the
pulp and paper industry is rapidly
forging ahead as a coming factor in
the States progress, and that the re-
port of the forests being depleted is
erroneous. He told the British
manufacturer that there are 15.000,0 ot
acres of forest land in the State OF
Maine, which astonished him a little
and that the big paper companies are
adopting scientific forestry methods
for the purpose of conserving the
forests.
III Idiisi the AIIleIicdH party was
royalty entertained. taking a trip to
southern France and Switzerland
after the business session was con-
| GUIDED He found that European
| farmers can teach America lessons in
utilizing every spare inch of land for
growing crops, and some of the finest
stock in the world is to be seen there
While in London Mr.. Chaplin was
| taken through the Bank of England
by Lord Fairfax. to whom he had
been given a letter by Boston
! friends. Mr.. Chaplin says that this
bank is becoming more progressive
with the passing of the years, and
adopts many American ideas.

Poachers' Firearms Condemned.

The Importance of the recent whole

Warden Gross is being made palmer
every day through the wardens scat

interest was aroused when the guns
seized from the poachers arrived at

Commission. The lot will be added to
the accumulation of firearms seized by
wardens and of which the commission
now has about IS of all kinds and de-

buy unless he wants the good and the

received. because a fair price is set
and the weapon does not have to be
