Keep the Balance Up,

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance Of the even balance Of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily,
the least imprudence brings on sick
ness. weakness. or debility. The sys-
tenn needs a tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it: and the best
tonic Of which we have any knowl :
edge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keepin,
healthy people healthy. in keeping up
the even balance Of health, gives t
the same distinction as preventive
that it enjoys as a cure. Its early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that a stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength, and endurance.-Adv.

SK0WHEGAN.
Law Court Upholds Verdict for
Plaintiff in Cummings Mfg.
Co. VS.. C. H. Smith, S. F.
Greene and J. Fred Hill
PLANS BEING PERFECTED
FOR MEMORIAL DAY

A rescript was received by Clerk of
Courts W. I. Seekins Friday in the
case Of Cummings Mfg. Co. VS.. C.yde
H. Smith, Sclden F. Greene and ].
Fred HILL in which the law court,
through Mr.. Justice Spear overrules
the exceptions taken by the defendant.
and confirms the verdict ordered in
favor of the plaintiffs.
This is the second Of the cases grow
ing out of the affairs of the Smith Pub
fishing Co., which recently conducted
mail order publishing business at
Skowf.egan, taking over the business
from the old F. j. Smith Co. Both cases
were argued before the law court in
December, rescript in the case Of
Folsom, Receiver, VS.. Smith ct ais,
having been handed down in Febru-
airy, sustaining the claim of the re-
ceiver against the directors for a con-
version of a portion of the assets.
The action brought by the Cummings
Mfg. Co., which is a wholesale jewelry
house doing business at Attleboro.
Mass, is on an account for merchan-
disc sold to the defendants in Octo
Der and November, 1911, prior to the
organization of the Smith Publishing
Co., while the business was still being
conducted under the name Of the F. ].
Smith Co. The plaintiff contended that
as the individual directors had taken
over the property, including the good
will Of the business, under a mort
gage, which mortgage they had fore
closed, and had assumed as individ-
uals to convey the entire assets to
the new corporation. that they were
individually liable for the debts of the
business during that period. The de-
PENDANTS denied personal liability,
claiming that the business was that
of the old corporation, which alone
was liable for its obligations.
At the trial before Justice Bird at
the April term, 1914, a verdict was or
dered for the plaintiff for the admitted
balance Of account, s3S6.54, to which
order the defendants excepted. The
overruling of the exceptions permits
final judgment for the plaintiff.
John F. Phillips, who has been II
with rheumatic trouble and confined
to his house for three weeks, is now
slightly improved.
George K. Robinson and family are
domiciled in the house at the corner
Of Bush and High streets, having va

ed to learn that they are now locat-
ed in Manchester, N. H., where Mr..
Kinds is in charge Of the Neal Insti-
tute. The couple were at one time res
idents of Skowhegan, having been con-
nected with the Smith Publishing Co.
