L0okouts' Instructions.

The following clear and explicit IN
structions are being sent to every look
out Waterman in the service OF the
Maine Forestry Service by Frank E.
Mace, forest commissioner:
Cd Remember that the lookout
, service is the most important branch
of the forest protective work. You
can't discover fires at the foot Of the
mountain or at the nearest settlement.
You are paid to be OF: top of the noun
tain throughout the day in danger
periods.
(2) Begin work on the order Of the
chief warden; your work is under his
direction; leave your station only with
his comment or order.
60 You cannot take too much pains
with your weekly reports. Do not
forget to set down all fires that you
discover. If you do not, you will be
called upon to explain why. If fire
occurs in your territory and you do not
discover tan explanation will be
asked. Plan to get your weekly report
in to Augusta at the earliest possible
moment after the week ends. This

the season ends as this is the only rec
ord we have Of the stationn. Do not
leave the station expressly to mail
them in dry times. Send a copy to the
chief warden, if he desires it.
"a See to it that you have supplies
to last over continued dry spell. Ar
range it with the Chief Warden when
YOU leave the station to replenish your
food supply.
60 On discovering a fire, locate it,
then telephone to the chief warden OF
the nearest deputy or some one inter-
ested at once. Fires can be best eX-
tinguished in their early stages.
CO. Your telephone must always be
in working order. Test it out two or
three times aday; if out Of order. re-
pair at once. The Chief Warden is
instructed that when your line is out
of order, he shall start to find the
trouble from his end of the line. With
out telephone service, your station is
useless.
ca In wet weather, clear trails and
improve telephone line, station, camp.
etc. Put In important landmarks on
your map if they are not there. Study
the forestry laws carefully.
80 You are responsible for all
entrusted to your care. Take
good care Of it and turn the same over
to the chief warden at the end Of the
season.
(9) See that your station Is equip
ped with map, glasses, alidade. shovel,
axe, mattock, etc. if not report the
same to the chief warden. The noun
tain trails and immediate vicinity
should be posted with fire notices.
d0) Get thoroughly familiar with
the territory in range of your station.
If you can't direct a warden to the ex-
act location of a fire your station is
useless.
QD Get acquainted with every
body who visits the station and
everybody in the vicinity. Get them
interested in your work. Treat them
and kindly. They might
be able to help you when you need
help.
Q2) You will be paid $3.50 per day
including board while on duty. Seno
bills promptly at the end Of the month
to your chief warden for his ap-
prevail.

Travelling Libraries

The travelling libraries sent out by
the State library since Jan. now
amount to ia and with the others sent
out during the latter part of 1915 make
the total number in circulation 23s.
The special travelling libraries are
meeting with great favor, filling a
want that has seemed impossible to
many to be filled. The libraries in
clude the High school, Teachers Moth
ers', Children's and Juvenile collec-
TOMS and are highly appreciated by all
who have had the use of them. The
Home Economics books are the latest

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are Of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
. est application Of its untiring research
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal sani-
5tation Of the drainage system of the
human body as it is to the drains of
. the house.
Those OF US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as q
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole Of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone. whether ailing, sick or well,
should, each morning, before breakfast,
'drink glass of real hot water with q
,teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
1T to wash from the stomach, liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins;
thus cleansing. sweetening and purify
Hing the entire alimentary canal before
quitting more food into the stomach.
THE action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach Is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans out
all the sour lamentations, gases, waste
and acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the phosphate
ed hot water is quietly extracting a
large volume of water from the blood
and getting ready for thorough flush
ing Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness:
: Others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is suffl-
scient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject Of internal SANTA
. tion.-Adv.

State Dairy Instructor J. H. Blanch-
ard left Thursday afternoon for Oro-
no. where he will confer with the
University Of Maine authorities in re-
gard to dairy matters. Friday he will
be at Bangor on business connected
with the duties of his office and Sat

About 161s miles Of road has been re-

about 2.55 miles Of road were started
in 1915 and will be completed in 1916.
A total of 49S applications for 1915
State aid were received as follows:
Cities, 10: towns and organized plan
tations, AIS; unorganized plantations
and townships, IL; total, 498.
Applications for State aid were suf-
flcient to more than exhaust the States
appropriation. This was due to the
fact that IL towns increased their an
preparations under Section % of the
law and these towns alone applied for
s2S,0S6.45.
