TO BOON BELFAST,

In campaign to raise funds to give Belfast
better advertising among the manufacturing
and tourist places in the State, the Belfast
Board of Trade has issued the following letter
from the Office of President Coombs:
MY DEAR SIR: AS a business man, and one
of the public spirited citizens of Belfast, we
are calling your attention to the Belfast Board
of Trade and what might be done by concert
ed effort on the part of the men of this city.
The Belfast Board of Trade owes its exist
ence to the active and public spirited men who
have willingly and efficiently borne the brunt
of the labor in organizing and carrying on the
work. To them is due much of the credit of
promoting the welfare and improvement of the
city, and great deal has been accomplished
(more than you are aware) in the past few
years. through the efforts of the Board of
Trade. The active members have Increasingly
sought to bring new industries to Belfast, and
though their labors have not always been
crowned with success, they will certainly keep
on trying.
Ninety per cent of the men of Belfast have
never Joined the Board of Trade. have never
lent one hour of their time toward helping the
Board of Trade do something for Belfast. Then
do you wonder that the Board of Trade has
been handicapped? A majority of those who
are members are conspicuous by their absence
from the meetings. Ask yourself if you have
done your share in encouraging the work?
How do you expect the Board of Trade to be
successful under these conditions?
A live Board of Trade is very necessary in a
city the size of Belfast, for it must be admitted
that movement originated by the Board of
Trade receives far more consideration than
one coming through private individuals.
Every resident of Belfast, whether engaged
In business or not, surely profits indirectly by
the development and progress of the city,
aside from the fact of its being our duty to
Belfast and her people to join. encourage and
help our Board of Trade, SO we can have big
ger, better, booming Belfast.
We are enclosing membership card, the
price of which is one dollar, and we asking
that you forward to the Secretary, Orrin ].
Dickey, that amount. which entities you to one
years dues; otherwise return the card Don't
JON the Board of Trade with the thought of
doing Charity. You are simply doing your
duty. as it behooves every public spirited man
to do. If you are not already member. don't
wait Tor another invitation, but send the dollar
at once.
A united effort this year will give more adj
vertising to Belfast than has ever been done
before. Attend the next regular meeting.
Don't say 1.-THE Beard of Trade does nothing,
but if you believe it. have you attended the
meetings or helped any to make it success?
Think 1t over seriously, pass the Secretary One
Dollar for the card we have enclosed and then
attend the meetings, al d with your help We'll
see what We can do for Belfast.
Very truly yours,
CHAs. R. CooMBs,
President

EXPERT PHARMACIST
Gives Advice to People Run Down in
the Spring, or After the Grip, Etc.

The best treatment I know of for
those run down or exhausted by the
grip or fevers, and cannot seem to
recover strength, is this:
Get bottle Of that standard blood
purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla, and a
box (200D Peptiron Pills; take one
teaspoonful Hoods Sarsaparilla be-
fore meals, and two pills after meals.
What are these medicines made Of?
Why, I understand the formula for
Hoods Sarsaparilla is similar to pre-
scriptions that come every day for
blood impurities, scrofula, rheuma-
tism and such complaints, for of
course Hoods expert chemists know
as much as any Of the regular profess
sion about ingredients indicated in
such troubles. And Peptiron Pills are
a new combination Of pepsin, iron,
manganese and other blood tonics and
strength builders. Iron is great to
increase red corpuscles in the blood
and give it health power. Get the
medicines from any druggist.

gether with his English ancestry, leOO-l9l4.
By Alfred johnson, 36 Monmouth street,
brookline, Mass, published at the Stanhope
Press, Boston, 1914.
For the frontispiece of this excellent genoa
logy of two hundred pages is given cut
showing the autograph signatures OF Capt.
Edward johnson and eight of his descendants
in direct line to the compiler. Alfred Johnson
For one interested in tracing character by
hand writing this in itself furnishes most
interesting study. The johnson family settled
for two generations in Massachusetts, in the
town of Woburn; then for two generations one
finds them in the adjacent towns of Plain6eld
and Canterbury. Conn, and for the two sue
ceeding ones in Freeport and Belt asst, Maine.
Descendants of Capt Edward johnson in other
lines of descent are to be found in the Fred
erick William Poole edition of 'Wonder Work
ing Providence; "Capt. Edward johnson and
some of his Descendants" by Edward Franci
johnson: and in Capt Edward Johnson and
one Line of his Descendants" by Byron Berkely
johnson. The line of descent treated in this
book is as follows: Capt. Edward Johnson who
married about 1920 Susan Munter; John john
son who married in 1867 Bethia Reade; Oba-
diah johnson, ST., who married in 1886 Rebecca
Brooks: Capt Obadiah Johnson. Jr., who mar
ried in 1723 Lydia Cleveland; Jacob Johnson
who married in 1853 Abigail Waldo; Rev. AL
fred johnson who married in 1888 Sarah Cross;
and Judpe Alfred Johnson who married in
1917 Nancy Atkinson. This includes Col. Oba-
dian johnson, Col. during the Revolution, who
married first Mary Howard. and second. Lucy
(Cady) Spaulding, and number of Revolu-
tionary heroes. The book is well indexed, and
an appendix gives not only the English ances-
try of Captain Edward johnson, but also cop
les of number of Johnson wills and inven-
tories and a short record of allied families
