LUMBERMEN

These big, brawny men of the
woods know the worth of a strong
arm, a steady hand and true eye.
They have keen appetites, and so
long as they can eat we'll and sleep
we'll, they can do mans work.
But all lumbermen know that a bad
stomach or a sick headache can put
the strongest of them out of business.
Men in the woods cannot be fussy
about their food, and too much of the
same kind, day after day, is apt to
bring on a stomach attack, cause bill
iousness or a splitting headache.

instead of the fire. He claims. and facts
seem to Justify his claim, that nearly
nine-tenths of all stomach trouble Is due
to acdity and food fermentation; and
that the only way in which to secure per-
manent relief is to get rid of the cause
j. e. to neutralize the acid and stop the
fermentation. For this purpose he
strongly recommends the plan now gen.
orally adopted throughout Europe Of
taking a teaspoonful of ordinary bisurat-
ed magnesia in a little water Immediately
after eating or whenever pain is felt.
This Immediately neutralizes the acid.

Several people living in Georgetown, in
the vicinity of the Riggsville postoffice,
have petitioned the postoffice department
for a change in the name to Robin Hood,
says the Boothbay Register. Since the
movement was started toward the change
many of the old-time residents of Riggs
vile have demonstrated and there is
much interest now as to what the out
come over the argument will be. A large
American flag flying breezily from mast
head there on Saturday was taken by
travellers to mean that victory was won.
No one was able to guess which side the
bird perched on. One of the old resi-
dents there declared the state granted
the change Of name without a murmur.
We wouldn't suppose anybody would op-
pose the change Of name from Riggs
Vile to Robin Hood, but perhaps the old
story brings unpleasant reminders.
