IS THIS YOUR TROUBLE?

Some cases of stomach trouble
are nothing but constipation.
All the symptoms Of stomach and
intestinal indigestion may be caused
by constipation. The sufferer is dis
tressed after eating, gas forms in the
stomach and bowels the abdomen has
a feeling of pressure and weight and
is hard and distended.
To correct constipation the first
thing is to stop the use of strong
purgatives and use instead the mild
laxative pills. Pinklets. These tiny
pills may be used as long as required
without the danger of a reacting con-

WARDENS
EXPECTING GOOD
GAME SEASON
Bangor Commercial, Sept. 6,


Chief Game Warden Frank Perkins
of Bradley. who was in Bangor on
business Monday. looks forward to a
good game season this year. as he
says that. deer are plenty and the
license fee having been reduced to ont
of state hunters. there is no longer
any reason for them to COMPLAIN be-
cause of an nXorbitant .ate. Il is now
only SIS for the privilege of hunting
game for which s25 was charged last
year.
The season will open on Friday. Oct.
l. for deer, but. as already stated,
there Will be no opening date for
shooting moose, as this big game cam
not be shot in the state of Maine dur1
ing the next four years. Chief Wards
en- Perkins, who always favored a
close time on moose for a period of
years, believes that this will work to
the benefit of Names biggest game.
The wardens will he alert TO enforce
the close time provision, too, as they
wish to conserve moose in the big game
preserve north of Bangor.
Other Eastern States have deer and
other comparatively small game but
Maine is the only state in this section
OF the country to have enough moose
to make it worth while going after
them. The supply has been diminish
ing for several years and now it is
hoped TO give them a fresh start.
1t is not known vet who will be the
warden in charge at the Union station
in this city, which each year witnesses
the arrival of more game than at any
other station in New England. Warden
Perkins has been in charge nearly ev-
cry year for about % years, but has
game commission each year and no
announcement has been forthcoming
from that body as yet
F. Ray Neal of Waldo who was
chief game warden last year and has
concluded his duties with the state
warden service will not be here this
year Mr.. Neal has been in Bangor
each season for several years and was
popular warden who will be missed
by those who have occasion to deal
with the Bangor wardens. He is the
son of Walter Neal, formerly of the
hsh and game commission. also for
many years warden in company with
Mr. Perkins at the Bangor station.
Z. A. Bean of Belgrade Lakes. who
was in Bangor. Monday. says that the
best salmon and trout fishing in years
is reported at the lakes. Every day
several fine fish are taken and the
black bass are especially numerous,
some fishermen getting as many as IS
or 100 during their stay at the lakes.
Mr.. Bean expresses the belief that
there is nothing in the saying that
black bass and salmon cannot be taken
from the same lake. He knows from
experience that while black bass and
salmon stay in different parts of the
same lake, not associatinG together at
al they may be caught in the same
body Of water.

BIENNIAL C0NVEN-

ERANS, ROCK ISLAND

Rock Island, H.. Sept. 8.-The Gen.
eral Council of the Lutheran Church in
America, which is said to represent
about 100000 communicates. will begin
its 35th biennial convention here to-
morrow. Among the more important
matters that will come up for consid-
Grafton will be Foreign Mission Work,
which is particuary strong in the Far
East. German Lutheran Missions in
India have suffered because since the
European war began aid has not been
forthcoming from the home country,
and on account of this the American
Lutherans have been appealed to for
help. The problem Of the English
home missions in Canada is also said
to be one of the most pressing matters.

The approach in 1917 of the 400th
anniversary Of the beginning of the
Reformation under Martin Luther, will
occupy much attention. A movement
is in progress to unite all sections of
the Lutheran church in this country in
a grand Jubilee celebration and in fact
overtures have been made to have rep
resentatives of all protestant churches
give special attention to this Quadri-
centennial Jubilee. A feature of the
Lutheran Church celebration is the
planning for large memorial fund to
be used for all forms of church work
The proposal will be made to other
sections of the church to unite in rails
ing a S1O,0O0O00 fund.

ed by the use of brilliant headlights.
now feature of the modern type of
motor cars. movement is on foot in
Bangor for the enactment of statewide
or at least local regulations for the
suppression of the glazing automobile
! headlight nuisance.
committee will be appointed from
the Bangor Automobile club to secure
data from other states where the glar-
ing headlight is restricted with a view
to adopting them in part or full in this
state. For instance. in some localities.
It is compulsory for automobile driv-
ers not to use their strong headlights
within municipal limits.
In many of the narrow roads of
eastern Maine. the use of brilliantly
reflected lights makes it impossible for
an oncoming automobile to keep in the
road as the binding glare makes it i'm
possible for the driver to see the road
in front Of him. 1t is noticed that
when the Old Town cars. which have
powerful electric searchlights, meet
at switches. their lights are promptly
dimmed, but autoists do not observe
the same caution, and an embarrass-
ing state of affairs has come about for
that reason.
There have been frequent instances
when cars making an effort to turn out
from approaching brilliantly lighted
autos, have left the highway and
gone into the ditch. which is a far
from pleasant situation on dark
night. and robs autoing of much of
its advantages after dark.
The suggestion has been made that
the state highway commission draft
regulations prohibiting the use of au-
tomobile headlights and searchlights
that project their rays to a greater
height than four feet on level ground
and require at the same time that the
lights illuminate the ground from six
to ten feet on each side Of the car at
point 10 feet in front Of the vehicle.
1t is believed that such a regulation
can be complied with by motorists
without much expense. In many in
! stances, the change has been brought
about by the use Of tissue paper or
cheese cloth across the lower part of

In common with a number of other
countries. an issue in Norwegian poll
tics this year is the question of national
defense. The war crisis a year ago
found the country very poorly prepared
to meet any emergency. The army
and navy were by no means up to the
standard required by the military ex-
perts. and the people have but lately
realized how largely the country is
dependent upon foreign countries for
food supplies The latter circumstance
is due to the fact that in the last two
or three decades farming has dimin-
ished, the young people of the rural
districts having passed more and more
freely into the industrial work in the
citias.
Consequently it has been increa singly
difficult for the farmers to get help,
and the situation has made competi-

The war brought about a great cur
tailment in these importations. and has
impressed the Norwegians that some
thing must be done TO make their
country more self supporting.
The Conservative and Liberal lefts
in their platforms for the coming cleo

therefore. for the strengthening of the
national defense to the full extent that
the country can economically bear, and
for an increased duty on imports OF
grain and flour so that Norwegian
farmers may be able to regain THEN
lost ground in competition with foreign
products.
The party that is at present in power
however, asserts that there is no need
OF strengthening the defense OF the
country at present. They point to the
fact that the government has beer
