Xhy 6 Anuric - is ar
IN s UR A N c e
AGAINST Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are . good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backsche, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times o night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DIR. Pierce of the
1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
rAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
cAnnric" is the most powerful agent
In dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves. of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration OF the blood vessels. as
we'll as regulating blood pressure:
"Anurio" is 9 regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for "Anuric" put up

In the matter of the drowning Of
Ralph Grant, by falling from the
steamer Vinalhaven, owned and oper-
ated by the Vinalhaven & Rockland
Steamboat Co., while engaged in plac
ing tenders in position over the side
after leaving Rockland, it is found that
1T appears that it was part of Mr..
Grants duty to care for the gangways
and tenders. He had had considerable
experience in those duties and there
was nothing unusual in the work they
were doing. Unfortunate as the circum
stance is, our investigation discloses
nothing which warrants us in holding
either the Einalhaven & Rockland
Steamboat Co. or any of the officers
responsible for the fatality"
The Public Utilities Commission
Tuesday afternoon handed down a de-
cision dismissing the complaint Of
James o. Brown and IA others Of North
Haven, against the Vinalhaven &
Rockland Steamboat CO. The COM
| plant alleged that the service of the
company between North Haven and
Rockland was unreasonable, INSULT
cient, unjustly discriminatory and in
adequate and that the people of North
/ Haven could not obtain satisfactory
service. 1t was further alleged that the
steamer Vinalhaven was not Of suita-
| Bile size for efficient winter service be-
tween said ports and that the arrival
| and departure of the Ninalhaven were
| irregular so that the United States
! mail was delayed.
| All of these complaints were gone
into extensively by the commission in
its report. The commission finds that
the hull of the Vinalhaven is sound
and solid and that the boat is good for
| service, and that the evidence sub
mitted does not disclose neglect nor
failure to give adequate service.

Commission, and the assessors. The
great pulp mills of the Berlin Mills
Co. were inspected.
We then went to Gorham, where we
met the assessors and looked through
the Cascade Pulp Mills, also owned
by the Berlin Mills Co. These were
all the places on the list and we re.
turned home Friday.
We had a very enjoyable trip
meeting many very pleasant people,
all of whom did everything in their
power to make our visit agreeable and
profitable. We told them all that we
were there for the purpose of examln
ing into their methods of taxation, for
the purpose of use or incorporation, il
available, into our own methods-and
we were given every facility for OBJ
tanning what we were after.
We saw numerous splendid manu-
featuring plants and were given full
insight on all the inquiries we made
We consider it a profitable trip IN
many respects, but I feel very frank
! to say that We returned home more

arriving at a just and equitable taxa
tiCn for all concerned. We feel that
Maine has the best system, or at least
che Of the best systems in the entire
country-and we shall continue to
sticl: to it and praise it until we can
secure something better.
We sought information regarding
all classes of property, though of
course our primary intention was to
inquire principally concerning the cot
ton and pulp mills and property. 1t
surely paid us for going, because while
the results of the trip may not lead
US to change any Of our methods of
work, it gives US the added confidence

The bureau Of the census has issued
a bulletin showing that the beet sugar
production Of this country increased
from $4s,0oo,0oo in 1909 to $62,e00.0 900
in 1914, an increase Of 80 per cent in
five years. In view Of the fact that
the beet sugar industry is still in its
youth, this is an exceedingly poor
showing. There were IS factories in
1909 and only the same number in
1914. But for the threatened repeal of
the duty on sugar. which was the chief
encouragement for the beet sugar in
dustry, the number Of factories should
have increased very materially, and
the production should have increased
not Less than 100 per cent. II the
Democrats will give us assurance that
the sugar industry will have adequate
protection we shall experience an even
greater increase than that in the next
five years.
