Frank B. slish.

Frank D. Blish, local, merchant, aied at his home at 56 Maple avenue Monday morning after an illness of four months. Bright's disease was tho cause of death. MT.

Electric Sparks.

The United States Government will study Alaskan water powers this sum- mer with a view of developing them electrically.
 Western states have been much more progressive than eastern in rec ognizing the value of electricity in the household, notably for cooking pur- poses. Many of the boards of educa- ton are equipping the high schools and colleges with electric household appliances and the state and city in stitutions, notably the hospitals are doing the cooking by electricity.
 A mans efficiency, as machine, is about per cent, assuming that the food consumed daily has a calorif1c value of kw-hr. Twenty -four men working tradmiIl in one-hour relays could drive a 0.2-lcw. dynamo capable of supplying eight 25-watt tungsten lamps. If each man were paid a day their wages would amount to $500 per kw-hr. of output from the dynamo.
 Preliminary work has been begun by the Cumberland County Power & Light Company, Portland, Me, in con- nection with the erection of a 20000- h. D. hydro electric station at Hirma Falls, on the Saco River. About S500,- 600 will be expended initially upon .

Physicians Prescription
 For Rheumatism

Business and professional men of large means who have taken expen- sive baths at famous resorts and have spent money lavishly to rid them selves of the tormenting agony of rheumatism, have turned to Rheuma and got well.
 When Rheuma goes in, poisonous secretions go out. No opiates or mar cotics are used. Rheuma drives out the cause of rheumatism and speedily brings comfort and health, and most druggists will admit it.
 Two bottles of Rheuma will cost you a dollar at Lee & Osgood's or any druggist, and if this purchase does not bring you the freedom from pain and misery you expected, your money is waiting for you.

HOW TO BE SLIM ,

If you are too fat and want to reduce your weight 15 or 20 pounds, don't starve and weaken your system, or think you must always be laughed at on ac- count of your fat, but go to Lee & Osgood or any good druggist, and get a box of Oil of Korein capsules, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night.
 Weigh yourself once a week and note what a pleasant and reliable method this is for re- moving superf1uous fat from any part of the body.
 It costs little. is absolutely harmless, and weeks trial should convince anyone that 1t is unnecessary to be burdened with even a single pound of un- slightly fat.

The rainfall was very heavy and caused quite a little damage to the city streets, and a large part of the loose dirt On the hill section was washed into the valley. The street depart ment was kept busy Monday carting this dirt back to the hill.
 The house of Julian Dorrance in Scotland was struck by the lightning, some of the clapboards being torn off, but the damage was slight. The Southern New England Telephone company reported about ITS telephones on thirty lines, out of order, as a re- suit of the storm.

Total number of electoral votes, 5; Necessary for choice, 266.
People Favor Hughes.

The people of the United States have made up their minds in favor of MT. Hughes and against MT. Wilson, and that is all there is to it, says Republican National Committee. They have given positive proof of it on numerous occasions this fall. Proof that cannot be denied, misunderstood or misinterpreted. In a dozen states from Maine to California from Michi- gan to Maryland, where the voters have had a chance to stand up and be counted, they have unfailingly taken advantage of the opportunity to show their determined preference for MT. Hughes instead of MT. Wilson. There is no exception.
 This is the thing that counts. It doesn't make any difference what claims campaign managers put forth, it Is the way the people vote that does the real taking.
 Here is how they have been vot- ing: In California, 3O7,793 Republi- cars voted in the primaries and only 77,8S0 Democrats. In Maine the vot- CTS were counted at an election and Maine's answer was emphatic and conclusive. That was after a cam paign hotly contested on both sides, and where the Democratic nlanagers made support of President Wilson the cardinal issue. New Jersey and Mas sachusetts show exactly the same sit uation. In each state there was a Democratic contest with one side SUD- ported by the administration, in each state the administration candidate was defeated, and in each state the total Democratic vote was far below that of the Republican
 In New Jersey, Senator Martine seeking renomina&ion polled 50, 961, Judge Wescott who had the adminis- tration support against Maritime poll ed 29,627, this was hard fight, which attracted attention all over the coun- try because of the efforts of President Wilson's friends to defeat Martine.
 While this contest bitter was going on, there was good natured cam paign in the Republican primaries be- tween Joseph Frelinghuysen and Franklin Murphy, each of whom poll
