G. r. FOGG SUCCESSFUL
Induced DIR. Howard Company to
Make Special Prices

After great deal of effort and cor
respondence G. r .Fogg, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
DR.. Howard Co. to make special
half-price introductory offer on the
regular fifty cent size of their cele-
brated specific for the cure of consti-
patton and dyspepsia.
This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the
stomach and bowels. 1t not only
gives quick relief, but it makes per-
manent cures.
DR.. Towards specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles that G. r. Fogg is willing to
return the price paid in every case
where it does not give relief.
SO great is the demand for this spe-
cific that G. r. Fogg has been able to
secure only limited supply, and
every one who is troubled with dys-
pepsia, constipation or liver trouble
should call upon him at once, or send
25 cents, and get sixty doses of the
best medicine ever made, on this spe-
cial half price offer with his personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure. 3w31

BLOOD ON PILOT Of

Dead Bodies Found Be-
side Tracks
Tragedy Enacted and the Leg OF One
of the Victims Was Found SO Feet
From Scene Of Accident

FAIRFIELD, Aug 16-Following
the discovery of blood upon the pilot
of west bound Maine Central En-
CINE at Waterville Friday evening,
two men were found dead beside the
tracks of the railroad two miles
above Burnham station Both were
badly mangled and a leg of one Of
the men was found SIS feet from the
scene of the accident officials were
notified, but it was not until $50
o'clock Sunday morning that the
bodies of the men were discovered.
Mark Perkins. light tender. found
them while patrolling the tracks and
he at once notified the station agent
at Burnham Coroner c. A. Lawry
of Fairfield was in turn notified. and
after a conversation with County At
torney c. A. Anderson of Ptitsfeld.
Mr.. Lawry set out with the medical
examiner, DR.. W. l.. Gousse of Fair
field to view the bodies.
III ilt pOthSl VI OHt lidu dS
found a note which read as follows:
IF anything happens to me, please
take my body back to Augusta, Me,
to my sister, Mrs A Rush, Crosby
st. My name is Eugene Codnane
but | go under the name of Jim Snow,
and l am 10 years of age the 18th day
of April, 1915, and | am no one in

Snow, A. No. q" Nothing whatever
was found around the body of the
other man to identity him. Besides
the note, several initials and address,
es were found in Codnanes pockets.
but nothing which could be used for
further identification.
According to the tone of the note
some are of the opinion that Codnane
and his companion made a suicide
pact. 1t is the opinion of the Off
Gals, however. that the two men sat
back to back on the rails and after
tiresome journey they fell asleep
waking up too late to see the ap-
preaching train in the fog and con
sequently being hurled to death over
the embankment at the edge of the
track.

MARRIED AND SINGLE
MEN CLASH
The Ball Game mt the Park Was
Called in the Fourth Inning Be-
cause of Rain

For the second time this season
the married and single men played
ball at Fairview Park, the game re-
sulting in tie score, to 2, called in
the fourth inning on account of rain.
1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago the married men trimmed
the singles by score of 20 to 4. The
singles, evidently bent on revenge,
arrived on the field with a much
strengthened team, having secured
the services of Dunton, Pennington
Highs star twirler, and WILDER,
Skowhegan's new pitcher, who shut
Madison out Saturday by a score of
10 to 0, the latter covering first base.
The feature of the game was the
heavy hitting of WILDER, when the
second time up he pounded one to
deep right for two base hit but be-
ing little too ambitious was called
out by umpire Curtis for trying to
stretch it for three Dagger and fail
ing to touch second base.
The married men wish to impress
upon the singles that in the future
they are to have no more ringers.
such as Dunton and WILDER in their
lineup, only players who have not
played the game for at least four
years are eligible.

MILITARY DRILL
IN SCHOOLS

President A r. Hadley of Yale
is the first college president to come
out for broad course of military
training for co lege students. The
movement for better military prep
aration has led many people to fav-
or introducing 1t into colleges and
high schools. This is a cater on
which there are many points Of view.
Most people would admit however,
that a certain amount of such work
is very useful to any boy.
Performances of military exercis.
es, movements, and evolutions under
a good drill master, should give a
boy an erect posture. People stoop
too much. They cram down their
lungs into narrow box OF bone.
when the organ was meant to be free
and loose. The body misses its fresh
air and becomes anaemic.
There is too much shuffling and
stumbling along the streets by these
STOPPING people. Going along VITA
their eyes on the ground, they look
absorbed or discouraged, which Is
forbiding and depressing. The fel'
low with head erect looks hopeful.
and inspires confidence.
Military drill also makes boys
quickly responsive to commands.
The human mind naturally works
slowly. If unused to acting in COM
pany with others, the order of
commander seems 20 run up against
some blank walls of slow thought. SO
Il is that the bunch of raw recruits
are all over the street. Their mon.
al reaction is slow, and their nerves
md muscles don't keep time with
heir minds. As they practice the
taking and receiving of orders, the
faculties become alert and respons-
I'VE and the drill acquires precision
md uniformity.
Modern life calls for quick think.
ing and immediate actions. Any
experience that promotes these &C
ruirements has great value. The
sense of rhythm and the enthusiasm
# numbers make any kind of drill
BY companies of people an invigorat-
'ng and awakening experience. Boys
are never tired of playing soldier.
Tney would find such drills as a part
If schools or college work, PHYSICAL
" stimulating and mentally pleasur-
able. to say nothing of the possible
military value.

SUGAR BEETS
IN MONTANA

The tests undertaken last spring
by the Glasgow Commercial Club OF
Glasgow, Montana, relative to the
of growing sugar beets In
the lower Milk River district, tribu-
tary to that city, have been product
i've of very satisfactory results. s..
C. Moore, Secretary of the CONNER
cial Club, reports that forty-six far
mers undertook the sowing; cultiya'
ton and harvesting of this expert
mental crop, and analyses Of the
beets grown showed a sugar content
of from 1871 to 1875 per cent with
a purity ranging from us to 1913
per cent, although grown under many
adverse conditions.
The success attending these eX'
periments indicates that this section
OF northeastern Montana Is suitable
for the profitable growing of sugar
beets, and the location OF a sugar
beet factory. The extension of the
beet sugar industry into this part OF
the state would considerably increase
Montana's sugar production, which is
now confined to the territory sur
rounding the one factory located at
Billings.
