REV. Mr.. ROBY
GAINS Is Lbs
PASTOR OF THE IONS
DALE METHODIST CHURCH NOW
A WE'LL MAN.

Rev. w. T. Roby, pastor of the
West l onsdale Methodist church, and
residing at 800 Leroy street, Knox
Vile. enthusiastically praises Tanlac,
the new medicine that is now being
so widely discussed in Knoxville and
other cities. Rev. Mr.. Roby is well
known not only by the hundreds of
his immediate church followers, but
is exceedingly prominent and popular
as a minister of the gospel in that
section of tn Getty. In speaking of
his recent restoration to health by
taking Tanlac, he said:
For several years | suffered with
catarrh in the stomach that grad
ually grew worse. sapping my
strength and vitality until l reached
point where was hardly able to
perform my ministerial labors and
look after certain other duties.
Il could scarcely eat anything at
all. For breakfast my appetite seem
ed to revolt, and nothing Mrs. Roby
prepared for me tempted my hunger.
In fact, | didn't feel like eating any
thing at all.
"My stomach gave me considera-
BILE trouble. | felt a sourness in my
throat and gas would form in my
stomach My kidneys also panied
me and / began to gradually lose in
weight
my condition not only alarmed my
wife, but friends were solicitious
about my condition. Many express
sions of sympathy came from the
members of my church, and was
urged to seek special treatment or
spend q few weeks at some watering
resort in the hope of improving my
health, when / heard of the wonder
| full results that had been produced
| by those using Tanlac. / at once
secured a bottle and have taken three
bottles.
Il have regained about fifteen
pounds in weight, and my wife says
Fl am trying to eat everything up on
the place, in fact, she is afraid / am
eating too much. My appetite is ra-
venous and my digestion is good.
feel no bad effects from eating and
the pains about my kidneys have left
me entirely. / sleep well, and am no
longer nervous like l was; in fact,
| feel like "a new man, full of life's
vigor; my strength and vitality has
returned as in the days of my young
manhood and in endorsing and prais-
ing Tanlac l feel that l am doing suf
fering humanity a favor by telling
them of what this fine medicine has
done for me.
II want to bear testimony to its
beneficial and curative powers and
can hardly command words of suf-
ficient import to accurately express
how grateful 1 am that l have been
restored to my former self"
In commenting upon the wonder
full results produced by Tanlac as
described by Rev. Mr.. Roby, Mr.. G.
#. Willis said: REV. Mr. Roby was
in general rundown condition from
the effects of catarrh of the stom-
ach, which produced loss of appe-
tite and improper assimilation of
the food. indirectly causing kidney
trouble and wasting away of his
strength, energy and vitality. Tanlac
it is said, goes directly to the seat
of such troubles and brings speedy
relief and permanent cure in all
such cases. "Tanlac is sold at over
one hundred agencies throughout

PERSONALS AND LOCALS

A hearing was held before Trial
afternoon, involving two well-known
citizens of the town. Clyde H. Smith,
first selectmen, made complaint that
Wilkie Clark, the we'll known base
ball coach, had assaulted him the
night before. 1t was alleged that the
two men sat talking in front of the
picture show and were discussing
business matters, Mr.. Clark asking
Mr.. Smith for a payment on a debt
and Mr.. Smith told him when he
would make the payment and without
any provocation more than the un-
struck Mr.. Smith in the right eve
with his fist, making it black and
blue. The respondent was fined $40
and costs. He appealed. There was
talk that a civil case will be started.

Governor and Council Grant a
Pardon to Frank Whalen,
Serving Sentence of One
Year in PenObscot
- County Jail
THE NEXT COUNCIL
MEETING JUNE 30
Award Of Contract for Highway
Construction in Bridgton-
Letter to County Commits
sioners-Items of Per-
sonal Interest

The Governor and Council granted
an unconditional pardon at the meet
ing Thursday to Frank Whalen Of
Eastport, serving a years sentence in
the Penobscot county Jail for convic-
ton on a charge of assault and bat
terry. Whalen was sentenced at the
October term by Justice Savage.
The grand jury returned an indict-
ment for assault with intent to kill
and the jury brought in a verdict Of
assault and battery in this case. 1t
appears that a quarrel arose in the
course of a July Fourth celebration
and it was alleged that Whalen as
saulted George w. Ferguson feloni-
ously and inflicted considerable in
jury. However, Ferguson was one of
the signers of the pardon petition pre-
scented by Attorney L. D. Lamond of
Eastport; the petition was signed al
SO by the mayor of Eastport and
Lamond argued that the case was
not as serious as the sentence would
seem to indicate and that sufficient
punishment had been melted already.
Ex-Governor w. T. Cobb of Rock
land appeared before the Governor
md Council at the Wednesday meeting
20 explain the rates charged by the
Camden and Rockland Water Com
pany for service at Thomaston State
Prison. 1t appears that there has
been dissatisfaction over the rates,
and it has been said that they are too
high. In the capacity Of president of
the water company Ex-Governor Cobb
explained that the rates are com
mensurate with expense involved and
that the water service is not a profit
making proposition and the salaries
of working officials are not exorbitant
He suggested that there might be a
chance for a saving by the installa
ton Of water meters at Thomastor
but said it had not been done for the
service in general because OF the es-
timated expense of $4,000.
The contract for construction OF
LOS miles Of gravel road in the towr
Of Bridgton was awarded Thursday
to James H. Kerr of Rumford The
bids on the work were as follows
Marco Lavargona. Canton, s63O3

ALARCE POTATO
&C ACREAGE EXPECTED
49, IN AR00STo0k

Houlton. Me-, May 26.-"The potato
growers Of Aroostook, especially In the
northern part Of the county, are show
ing much interest in seed inspection
work. and there will be large acre
age for .certification this coming sea-
SON." declared E. A. Rogers, secre-
tary Of the Maine Seed Improvement
Associations who has been in the copn-
nv during the past week in the inter-
ests Of certifcation seed potatoes, yes
terday, in an interview with the News
correspondent
THE regulations are not very mucn
different from the recent certihcatlon
furnished by the Federal Government
for Seed Potatoes, cancelled early In
March. Apparently at the time the
full value Of Federal Certification was
not appreciated. While the present
plan is not offered as substitute. II
will be in a way If carried out fully
by the growers, and in the end greatly
improve the seed potato standard"
In connection with the above state
ment of Mr.. Rogers, comes the news
from up the country that d. w. Corey
& Co., of Pressure Isle and his asso-
ciates, are to plant 800 acres. Thls
is probably the largest area controlled
by any firm or individual in this coun-
tv. other than the contracts. All these
notatoes will be offered for certif1ca-
tion. The Corey Company have just
closed a most successful season, SELL
ing all their products at good prices
p. H. Reed Of Fort Fairfield. will also
offer 500 acres of Cobblers for certif1-
cation. These potatoes are to be
grown by Mr.. Reed by various farmers
under contracts which require that all
seed shall be disinfected before plant
ing and we'll sprayed throughout the
season. Carl C. King of Caribou, has
already entered 200 acres for certifica-
ton.
Apparently the present low prices
has not had a disheartening effect up
on the growers who are making an
effort to improve conditions. Those,
it Is admitted by all, who think only
of Aroostook''s great product, realize
that market conditions have changed
materially and that there has been
but little effort on the part OF the
growers and shippers to get into line
Fifteen years ago shippers from
Aroostook rounded out about 100000
bushels. This year the crop is prac-
tically five times as great and the in
crease is not offset by increase In
population. 1t is admitted by those
who know conditions in the county
that scores of dealers are neglectine
their duty.
Farmers should disinfect their seed
spray we'll and thoroughly. Coco
stock-"better than the other fellows
will only be obtained by following
out these methods for a good product
always commands good price.

Why Do French Women
Always Look Young?

In France mothers and daughters look
like sisters. How are the women there
able to retain their youthful looks until
long past middle age? Is it because they
are much given to the use of mercolized
wax? This wax possesses a remarkable
absorbent property which quickly removes
the tine particles of cuticle which are
constantly dying and which are the i'm
mediate cause of an old-looking complex
len. Thus the livelier. healthier, younger
skin beneath is given chance to breathe
ard show itself. Try this treatment your
self. Most likely it will not require two
wceks TO make your complexion as clear,
soft and beautiful young girls. Just
one ounce of mercolized wax tall Amer
lean druggists have it, usually does the
work The wax is put on nights like cold
cream and washed off mornings.
Another valuable secret with which the
French are familiar is how TO quickly re-
move wrinkles One ounce of powdered
saxolite dissolved in a half pint witch ha-
Eel, makes marvelously effective astring-
ent lotion. The face should be bathed in
this daily until even the deepest lines are
