Waldo County owes it's name
To Samuel W aldo of early fame.
A general he of great renown,
Who from childhood was reared in Boston town.
At Louisburg second in command,
For the English he he ped to save the land
Then Names forests stretched far and wide
Like to those now seen by Aroostook's side,
And many fine and sturdy tree
Furnished mast for the King navee.
The Surveyor of the King s Domain
Vexed the early inhabitants of Maine.
Of all the trees demanded the best,
Nor would he allow the settlers to rest;
Set fire to each home and lumber mill,
And drove them from place to place, until
Patience virtue long ceased to be;
Then sought they aid from over the sea.
At their behest General Waldo went,
Of his time and money freely spent.
So we'll worked he while on EHgland's shore
The Surveyor controlled the woods no more.
Thus confirmed from across the seas
The vested rights of the patentees.
In gratitude for what he had wrought
A gift the Thirty Associates brought
Of half their grant, and laid at his feet,
And the Waldo Patent thus stood complete
Three hundred thousand acres of land,
With both stream and forest at his command.
Hoarded he them for himself? All no,
But far and wide did his messages go:
'Let the people come and occupy
All these new-world lands that so fertile lie;
Where Penobscot flows down to the sea
You may each have an hundred acres free.
And so with their families they came,
For at home and abroad had spread his fame;
Some hailed from Brunswick and Germany
Still others from Scotland and SaXony.
In little colonies settled they,
And all steadily toiled from day to day,
Till many plantations one might see
Where before the wilderness used to be.
The Patent to wider bounds laid claim;
Then the small county that now bears his name
Seven forty eight square miles has she
Encircled within her boundary.
On the northwest flows Sebastlcook;
From the green hills of Waldo you may look
Into six counties. On every hand
Our county is surely goodly land.
Southeast, beautiful isles we descry
Where the river and bay of Penobscot lie;
Fort Pownal at Fort Point you see
Still marks the first site in her history.
And Belfast, Waldo county seat,
Is as fair city as may meet.
Coal-pockets there at Mack's Point today,
Aroostook's potatoes we ship away
And Mt. Waldo granite is counted meet
For paving in many city street.

MONEY MOST WISELY SPENT
Millions Expended In the Campaign
Against tuberculosis viii Surely
Have Its Effect.

More than $2O,5OO,OOO was spent last
year in the campaign against tubercu-
losis In the United States. Of this
sum 66.S per cent was derived from
public funds, either federal. state,
county or municipal, an6 the remain
der was contributed by private philan-
throphy. These are some of the in
teresting figures contained In the an.
nual statistical statement OF the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention OF tuberculosis, made pub.
lie recently. The statement is based
largely on actual reports received
from anti-tuberculosis agencies To-
Gated throughout the country, but
where reports are not available. the
figures have been estimated.
Institutional care and treatment OF
consumptlves in hospitals and sana-
toria makes up the largest share OF
the total expenditure More than ST.
100000 was spent for this purpose,
with an additional $925,000 for spe.
cial treatment of tuberculosis insane
and prisoners. These figures include
not only the cost of maintenance, but
In some instances the cost of construc-
tion of institutions. Antituberculosis
associations spent the next largest
sum, amounting to a little over $780,
900. Care of patients in dispensaries
and by visiting nurses cost almost as
much, approximately sS60,000. The
growth of the open-air school move
ment is shown in the fact that last
year more than 100000 was spent for
this purpose, as against $4,000 ex.
pended five years ago. State and
city boards of health spent 100000
directly on tuberculosis work.

IF Half. IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look oldl Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, LlfeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every.
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re
stored to its natural color and look
glossy, soft and abundant. ADV.

Excerpt from one of Mrs. L. NJ. N.
Stevens Annual Addresses.)
A young society woman, a total alb
stainer, remarked that it was very
hard to make strong argument in
favor OF total abstinence when there
were so many moderate drinkers in
her circle who were successful in
business and happy in their home
life. To this we say, in your circle
you see but one section at one stage
of action. Let us shift the scene a
little.
A temperance specialist was per
mitted to sit in the office of a certain
sanitarium while the patients came
filing in with barred arms to take their
semi-daily treatment. When the last
one had passed out the doctor said
IN that line were representatives Of

tional institutions, of every profes-
sion; men who are still possessors of
large wealth, and others who have
wasted their fortunes and are now

LIQUOR BUSINESS A PARASITE.

Business Is an exchange OF com.

merce the gain must extend to both
parties to the transaction. If the re-
sultant advantage of a business deal
inures to the benefit of one party only.
there is an economic defect The buy
er must benefit by his purchase as
truly as the seller by his sale. The
buyer gets from the grocer -four, from
the hardwareman nails, from the lum-
herman lumber, and In each case buy
er and seller are benefited. The same
buyer goes to the saloon to get wine
or beer or whisky. The dealer makes
profit on the goods sold. But here
is break In our business principle.
The buyer makes no gain. He parts
with his share of the barter, and gets
nothing valuable in return. At every
other counter there was gain on both
sides; here the gain was on one side
only. The transaction limps; il is
false to business principles. II repre-
