LARGE BODY IN
ATTENDANCE AT
UNION SERVICES

Union services were held at the Uni
versalist church Sunday evening at
which Rev. A. j. Torsliff, secretary Of
the Anti-Tuberculosis Society Of the
State of Maine gave a most entertain
ing and interesting lecture, accompa-
MED by stereopticon views. The lee
ture was given under the auspices Of
the local branch of the State Society
which has recently been formed. and
was well attended, the auditorium of
the church being we'll filled. The
speaker told of the high death rate
from tuberculosis in the United States
and also the State of Maine, and said
that the city death rate was l death in
every 10 from tuberculosis and that
in the country was / in every I. He
told Of how the disease was contract
ed, its means Of cure and care of the
patient. and stated that fresh air, rest
and nourishing food was the only
means Of perfecting a cure in this dis
ease. He went on to state that Is mil
lion dollars were expended every year
in the United States by sufferers with
tuberculosis for patent medicines ad-
vertised to cure the disease and which
were most harmful to the patient and
that tuberculosis could be cured only
when taken in the incipient stages and
not when very far advanced. Inter-
esting views were shown of the two
sanatoriums in Maine for tuberculosis
patients. one at Hebron and the other
at Fairfield.
He spoke Of the value of fresh air
IN the sleeping room and showed views
OF the open air school rooms in MANY
OF the larger cities and also schools
conducted on the roof Of buildings in
these cities. He spoke Of the value Of
proper drinking cups in public places
and told of the danger from infection
by those afflicted by tuberculosis and
means OF prevention, sanitation and cure
in the treating OF sufferers from this
dread disease. The local branch Of
this society is to raise funds to provide
district nurse, who will give her at
tention to those af1icted and needing
help along this line. The lecture proved
most instructive and entertaining to
all present.

TEST CASE OF JAIL
SENTENCES IN RUM
Y CASES, PENOBSCOT CO.

Bangor, Me-, April ia writ of ha-
beas corpus was issued Friday by AS
sociate Justice Bird in the case Of Jo-
seph Wallace Of Bangor, who has been
in Jail since February in liquor case,
affirmed from the lower court. He was
released upon giving bonds for further
appearance.
This, it is understood, will be a test
case, being one of about Is, in which
warrants were issued for the commit
ment Of liquor dealers at the February
term Of court and which warrants
Sheriff T. Herbert White has not yet
served. He has been severely crit
icised for not taking action, especially
as nearly all Of the respondents are
at their usual places Of business, and
several have appeared in the lower
court since, in search and seizure
cases.
Sheriff White says he was notified by
counsel for the respondents that there
was serious question as to whether
the sheriff had a right to serve war
rants and make Jail commitments of
respondents who were at large and not
before the supreme court when the
judgment Of the lower. court was at
hrmed. Sheriff White said this opinion
was also given him by his personal
counsel. None Of the liquor dealers
were in court when their cases were
called. sherir White says that he

Definite STEPS
TAKEN TOWARD
HANCOCK BRIDGE

Bar Harbor, Me-, April 16.-The pros
pect that sometime in the near flu
ture the State of Maine may construct
a, bridge across the Taunton river, be-
tween the towns of Hancock and Sui
Ivan. avoiding many miles of detour
or ferry across the river. is beginning
to take definite shape.
The last LEGISLATURE raised $500 for
survey, contingent upon the towns OF
Hancock and Sullivan, and others IN
terested. raising a like amount, which
was done. 1t is estimated that bridge
such as is wanted would cost about
$4,000.
Back in 1921 a bridge was erected,
through the efforts of Col. Paul D. Sar-
gent. who fought in the Revolution.
This was carried away by the ice IN
1929 and never rebuilt.
The river here is about 1900 feet wide.
1t is not properly river, but an arm
of the sea. Col. Sargent had but lin
tied amount of financial backing, little
ready funds, and his own personal
credit and magnetism was the chief
pillar of the financing of the bridge.
BY means of lottery scheme with
tickets sold in a number of states be-
side Maine, he succeeded in meeting
most of the payments on time. The
bridge itself with its probable great
income was to be the grand prize. Col.
Sargent was the manager. although the
bridge changed hands several times.
It was we'll constructed, for that
day, with draw to admit of the pas
sage of vessels. The foundations were
hemlock logs sunk about 100 feet apart,
with sharpened ends and piers built
above to resist the down-coming ice.
Cross work at the top secured the
spans and stringers; and the bridge
was a substantial and practical af-
fair.

ADVANCED MEDICAL
AUTHORITIES ASSERT
Auto Intoxication the Founda-
ton of Most of the Suffering
of American People

Advanced medical authorities. as
sert that auto.intoxication. Is the
foundation of most of the modern
cans suffer. 4
This condition." says Joseph Won
Trimbach, noted giver of health aids
and who created the famous form
ula Of Tanlac, lis nothing more nor
less than slow self poisoning of the
vital organs, produced by the excess
sive strain of life today" The re-
serve force Of the organs is ex-
hausted and as they function below
normal, toxine-actual poisons-are
generated within ones own body.
I'm the majority of cases the
trouble starts with the stomach.
But in any case the blame lies with
faulty methods of living. When the
organs falter in their duties and be-
come congested and the body is
tainted with poisons, the victim yields
to their influences. Stomach and inc
testinal troubles and catarrhal affecs
tions are most often caused by auto
intoxication.
"A tired. draggy feeling is the
first result. This is followed by
sluggish action of the mind, drowsi
ness at all hours, nervousness, head
aches, faulty digestion, poor circula-
ton, constipation and fitful sleep,
and eight out Of ten people-espe-
cially indoor workers-are likely to
be affected"
Tanlac, the great reconstructive
medicine that is now being intro
duced here, was created especially
to overcome these troubles. Tanlac
is designed to stimulate, the. vital
organs and to spur them back to
normal activity. First action is up
on the digestive and assimilative or
gans, thereby enrfching the blood
and rebuilding tissues. 1t enables
the stomach to properly digest food.
thereby permitting the assimilative
products to be turned into blood,
bone and muscle. 1t overcomes the
great causes Of sickness-weakness
BY invigorating the body it throws

Taniac is conceded to have greater
therapeutic value in cases Of stomach
and nerve exhaustion than any REM

JEFFERY QUADS FOR
- MUNICIPAL NEEDS

The following Is from the Boston Globe:
The past winter, with it's long contin-
ued period when the roads and streets
were buried in snow and ice, which was
preceded and followed by thaws and con-
sequent deep mud, taught municipalities
that use motor fire apparatus many
things about the operation of these ma
chimes under extraordinary conditions.
Among the most important lessons was
that with the highways in bad condition
the ability of motor-driven machines to
secure traction is highly important.
With this experience in mind, some mu-
nicipal fire officials investigating the ques-
ton Of motorizing their departments have
been looking with growing favor upon
the Jeffrey Quad, the truck that drives.
brakes and steers on all four wheels.
C. p. Rockwell, the New England
distributor Of the Jeffrey, has been
called upon to make many. demonstra-
tions Of the Quad, and these have been
so satisfactory that several orders Of
this chassis for fire department pur-
poses have been placed One Of the lat
est municipalities to buy is the town
Of birmingham. Mass, whose fire
truck is now being built and will be
delivered shortly. Jeffrey Quads for
similar work have been purchased by
the city of Northampton, Mass. and
Lebanon, n. H., and other orders are
pending.
The peculiar construction of the JET
fiery Quad, whereby the motor power
is applied directly to the front, as
well as to the rear pair of wheels, with
the steering gear connected also with
both pairs and brakes on each wheel,
gives the driver of this truck complete
control under all conditions. In dem
onstrations before fire department buy
ers by c. P. Rockwell, the truck was
given most arduous tasks to perform,
such as climbing grades in snow and
ice and ploughing through country
roads with mud hub deep.
In no instance did the Jeffery Quad
fail to extricate itself from the most
difiicult positions, for some of the
wheels were certain to obtain traction,
and the double steer and braking was \
decided advantage. No road conditions
were found, even in the severest wealth
er, that could stop the Quad and no hill
that could stall it. In this respect it
fully satisfies the premier demand for a
fire truck-that it must be ready ard
able to go all the time and in all wealth
ers. Under normal circumstances the
Jeffery Quad shas a surplus of power TO
take it anywhere that it's driver may
have occasion to go in the usual line Of
commercial work.
