Old Folks Recipe
For Weak Kidneys
To Quickly Save Elderly People from
Kidney and Bladder Miseries.

While people well along in years are
more subject to weak kidneys and bladder
than younger folks, their trouble need
not necessarily be serious and can often
be easily corrected by safe, simple homo
kidney regulator that acts promptly. A
good plan is to stop eating meat, sugar
and sweets for a few days and to take a
few doses of Solvax with which Bow
ditch-Webster & Co. or any local druggist
can easily supply you at little expense.
Solvax is harmless and acts safely but
quickly on the kidneys and bladder to
strengthen them for their natural work
ana drain out all the impurities from the
blood that cause the kidneys to get slow
and sluggish. Twenty-four hours gener-
ally show results and make the kidneys
act fine. Back Pains and weakness soon
are forgotten and sufferers are enabled
to get good eight hours sleep without
getting in and out bed several times dur
ing the night.
Do not suffer another day but see at
once II Solvax will not relieve you. If
you find 1t does not tell the druggist so
and he will cheerfully return the money
you paid him for it. We know no strong
er argument for any medicine than the
willingness Of those who sell 1t to stand
back Of 1t in this way.-Adv.

Director William r. Chapman expressed
himself as highly pleased with his recep-
ton in Skowhegan Friday night, and well
he might be, for nothing but praise was
heard for the concert given by his COM
pany. Never has a Skowhegan audience
given reader or more enthusiastic ap-
plause to any musicians than Friday
night. From start to finish every part
Avas superb. The Criterion male quartet
was, without any qualifications. the best
ever heard here, and the vocal solos by
three of the quartet, John Young tenor,
Donald Chalmers ball and George War
rem Reardon baritone, were splendid, each
singing so easily and with thorough en-
joyment. Miss Florence Austin won the
hearts of the audience from the first
touch Of her bow to the strings and kept
them to the end. The generous applause
was rewarded by several encores to each
number on the program and everything
went perfectly. It was considered the
best Chapman concert ever given here,
which is saying good deal. for the pre-
vious fine entertainments given by Direc-
tor Chapman His piano Accomplishments.

that those who are responsible for
these methods are not amenable to
the laws of the United States
I'm g1ancing hurriedly over this
speech of Mr.. Hill numerous instances
are given of the situation of our man
ufacturerst at present. In reference to
one concern it is testified that it was
compelled to pay for dyes alone over
100000 more during 1915 than it did
during 1914 We all know-every sem
ator and representative knows-the
distress that all the producers of tex
tiles who use these dyes have been
in during the last year.
II am very glad the senator from
Massachusetts offered this amend
ment, If there is a similar measure
democratic senators might well enough
allow this amendment to go to con-
terence and If the house committee
intends to do anything to help relieve
this famine and the extortion of our
citizens by this foreign trust-for it
is a great foreign trust-they can, if
they choose, modify what we propose
and let the conference committee re-
port on what may be agreed upon in
conference and put it on a bill that
will stand some chance of getting
through both houses at the present
session.
"Owing to the situation of the pub
lie business in the house, the amount
of time taken up on contested mat
tiers, I am free to say that I am not
at all optimistic that any legislation
on this subject which will be Of any
substantial benefit will receive any
consideration worthy of the name on
the floor of the house if reported out
as an independent measure. 4 think
if our democratic friends are as sin
cere in their desire to try to make
this nation not utterly dependent up-
on a belligerent for this great neces-
sity, now is the chance to demon
strate it and let this amendment go
on the bill and go to conference at
least. They will control both branches
of the conferees, and no damage will
be done by letting it go, there and
getting some consideration.
while 1 wish I were better pre-
pared to speak upon this matter than
I am, I felt that 1 would like to say
as much as i have said"

DOES NOT FAVOR
ROOSEVELT AS CANDIDATE.
Ex-Congressman Higgins Says Elihu
Root is AbIest Man in Country.

EX-Congressman Higgins, who was
elected as delegate to the national re-
publican convention last week, in view
of criticism of his presidential prefer
enCe, has this to say regarding his po
sition as to candidates, says the New
London Day:
l regard the country as facing a
crisis and the present administration
is as bad if not worse than that of
James Buchanan. 1t is supreme in
vaCillation and general deficiency. The
weakness of our national administra-
ton contrasted with the many men in
the republican party of sufficient abil-
ity to Creditably discharge the duties
of the president and carry out repub-
lican principles insures a change, and
democrats as we'll as republicans Will
welcome it.
The responsibility of choosing a
candidate in the present emergency is
great and not TO be treated lightly nor
to be decided upon personalities.
If Theodore Roosevelt is regularly
nominated by the republican conven-
ton l shall do all | can to elect him.
AS a delegate to the convention l do
not expect to vote for him.
If the Hartford Times gets any
comfort out of that declaration, let
them make the most of it. No one is
fooled as to their purpose and their
object Their predictions of republic
can discord at the Hartford conVen-
ton failed to materlaliZe.
1t is true that l am a friend of SEN
atOr Weeks. l served in congress with
him. also with Burton, Root and Fair
banks. Any of these four men would
meet the present emergency far better
than it is being met now. All of them
are high minded, able, experienced and
patriotic and there are others.
The republican party in the national
convention can be trusted by the cOun-
try to name and adopt a platform that
the people will elect and approve. /
am in full accord with the views ex-
pressed by Elihu Root in his speech
to the republican state convention of
New York and with Senator Lodge in
his recent speech in Lynn.
I consider Eiihu Root the ablest man
in the country in public life today and
the best equipped for president.
New England in congress is regarded
as one state. The rest of the country
seems to believe there is a community
of interest among the New England
states which makes them work in &C
cord. The history of legislation and
of national conventions disproveS this
One is wise if they take care of their
own, and New England has many
problems that could be the more easily
solved and her future he better Sc
cured if there was a more general in
terchange of views and a closer CO.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
TO SAVE INTEREST.
Floating of $25, ooo,o 900 Notes PIeases
the Stockholders.

Investors in the New Haven road
are much pleased over the prospect
of the company floating $4,000, 900
of notes which come due May 1. 1t
was stated last night that this block
of notes has been taken at 4 IL per
cent. and the company will thus save
an annual outlay of about 1925, 900 in
interest.
A fnancier says that the marketing
of these notes at a half of one per
cent. less than the present interest
rate, was really a feather in the cap
of the road and showing that its cred
it was improving. 1t is claimed the
replacing of this loan will have the
way for the proposed merging of all
the Indebtedness of the road and hav-
ing it backed up by mortgage
AT present there is a million dollar
mortgage on the Shore Line road.
for the building of the Thames river
bridge Years ago. and the Northamp-
ton and the Air Line divisions are
mOrtgageG but that represents prac-
tiCa!ly all the roads mortgages" said
the financier. II would seem the
company would have no difficulty in
floating 4 big mortgage. Authority
would have to be secured from sew
but this would probably be granted
1 should say the authority should be
secured to mortgage for at least $500,
600. 900, but of course not all this sum
would be placed at once. I think the
merging of the roads Indebtedness
into one mortgage would be a prac-
teal measure, as many of the big
roads put mortgages on their prop
erty. while i. has been the pride of the
| New Haven road managers not tC
have its lines mOrtgaged to any con-
! siderable extent"
