Choice of Successor
To Late Sen. Burleigh

Governor Oakley c. Curtis in dis
cussing the successor to the late Hon.
Edwin c. Burleigh, junior United
States senator from Maine, that mas
much as there was some dispute as to
the method of choosing the senator
that he had referred the matter to the
attorney generals Office for a decision
as to the law covering the subject.
The Governor further said that he
believes that there will be a special
election to fill the vacancy and of
course a special primary election, but
he wanted to be absolutely sure Of his
ground before he made a move
1t seems to be the impression at the
Capitol that Governor Curtis will do
nothing as regards the United States
senatorship until next week.

Warden Bertrand E. Smith Of Angus
ia, one being that by Scott Harris of
Winthrop, who was in the Augusta
municipal court on the charge Of guild
ing without being licensed by the de-
partment. He was given the usual
fine (s50). but owing to extenuating
circumstances the fine was RENTED on
payment Of SO and costs.
The other case was the payment Of a
fine of SO by Edward c. Genthner of
Augusta for illegal fishing in tribu-
tary to Belgrade stream.
Curator Thomas A. James Of the
State museum has returned from Port
land, where for two weeks he was in
charge Of the State Of Maine exhibit
of fish and game at the Maine EXPOSE
ton. Mr.. James reports that he is glad
to return home, as the care and work
of looking after the exhibit away
from home is something quite beyond
the general understanding Of the lay
man. He is much pleased with the fact
that the State exhibit was the great
attraction for the people and apparent
ly pleased all who saw it. 1t might
have been larger. but what was shown
was all the product Of Maine waters
and woods and was good.

In Pulmonary Troubles
of Every Nature

one Of the first needs is rest, combined
with pure food and abundance Of fresh
air night and day. Sometimes these
agencies are sufficient to effect relief. In
other cases, rundown systems need tonic
help.
Where the latter is indicated. 1t Is wise
to try Eckmans Alterative-a lime-bear-
ing compound which is easily assimilated
by the average person.
For more than twenty years this prep
aration has been widely used and many
recoveries are attributed to It. Even in
advanced cases of pulmonary affections 1t
has proved beneficial.
me feature not commonly found in eff
fective medicines is its absolute freedom
from poisonous or habit-forming drugs.
Therefore trial is safe.

HEALTH BOARD STARTS
 ITS SPRING CLEAN UP
Summons to Police Court: Will Follow Failure
 to Obey.

A new drive in the interest of public health is aimed by the board Of health in the form of new ordi- nance drafted for the regulation of food stores, dairies and resta urants. The ordinances were considered at a three hour session of the board yes- terday and will be presented to the common council for action Wednes- day night. In explaining the matter today Health Superintendent Reeks said. the new ordinances would govern the handling of food intended for public consumption. Cleanliness is cardinal object and the new regula- tions will make for that condition.
 One regulation of special interest relates to screens. The board is de- termined to make a strong campaign againts flies this year and will require that food stores, which includes gro- ceries, restaurants and dairies, which includes milk distributing stations within the city, must be adequately screened from April to November.
 The health board also decided upon regulations for the care of dumps back yards and manure piles It was decided to make a strong effort to regulate these matters, especially be- cause they are fly breeding places. The board takes the attitude that the last two years have been largely in the nature of educational work The inspectors have exercised extreme patience in their work and many orders have been given property owners and others to clean up and the orders repeated without taking drastic action. Now the board cin- cludes it is time for action. Only one notice will be given to "clean up'' and unless some good reason is offered why it is not done summons to police court to tell it to the judge will be the boards answers to the negligents.
 A petition signed by property own CTS residing in the neighborhood of Ash and Cherry streets was received Ey the board complaining against the dump maintained at that point.
