IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS

Worry never brought any good to any,
body. But, you say, 81 don't worry be-
cause | want to, worry becauseI can't
help it.. Or, II worry because l have
80 much to worry about"
We all have our troubles and worry, Of
course, makes matters worse. The patient
generally recognizes this fact without be-
ing influenced in any way by it.
The doctor who could meet this nervous
condition and cure it would be the most
popular medical man alive. But he can
not do it because the form of nervous ex-
haustlon known as neurasthenia, of which
worry is characteristic symptom, must
be cured by the patient himself That is
why you should write today for the book
Diseases of the Nervous System" and
read the chapter on" Neurasthenia." So
many people have read it and written
back, "This hits my case exactly, 1 am
giving the treatment trial and being
benefited" that the DIR. Williams Medi-
I5cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. has had
not OF these books printed and will send
you copy free on request. Ask for
|diet book also if your stomach is off.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are nom
alcoholic tonic, particularly suited for
nervous, neurasthenic people. Your
druggist sells them or they will be mailed
postpaid on receipt of price, so cents per
box, SIX boxes for So. so.

AROOsTOOK POTATOES.

HoULToN, Jan. 9Th. Potatoes have
taken another jump and it was reported
on the street late Wednesday afternoon
that few potatoes went for So per bar
rel, but the average price was around
w. rs per barrel. Many farmers are now
hauling and it was estimated that on
Tuesday in the neighborhood of 1000
barrels were hauled in. This was a big
increase over previous arrivals. Natu-
rally farmers are feeling quite eated
over the prospect for high prices and
already many are having visions of the
stock soaring as high as S. per barrel be-
fore spring. The average farmer, how
ever, will probably sell his stock at the
So mark.
FORT FAIRFIELD, Jan. 5th. Potatoes
seem to be mounting higher and dong
it pretty fast, too. On Tuesday they were
going in Fort Fairfield at from So SO to
S2.68, with better prices in sight. Those
who have recently been in Boston and
New York say that the people want pc
tatoes, and they will not predict as to
high they will go. 1t is quite evident
that there are fewer good potatoes in
the whole United States this year than
for a great many years in the past, so
that high prices are naturally expected
as the inevitable thing. They have been
reaching the Fort Fairfield market bit
faster than usual, bit still not all rapidly.
There are not nearly so many to come in as
everybody wishes there might be. Big
lots are very few indeed in number,
while great many farmers have for
some time been practically cleaned out
of good stock. 1t looks as if good seed
will be mighty scarce here in the spring
unless the selling is kept down pretty
severely. Fort Fairfield, Review.

Bishop Hamilton said at the Alumni
meeting. "when schools and colleges are
everywhere in the land, you may ask,
What is the necessity of this peculiar
school with three years period and
without degree?' Our public schools
are crowded by youths from many for
eign countries, who require so much at
tention that the native fails to receive
the personal care of his teacher, as he
did in the years past. Tuition is so high
and living expenses are so great. and re-
curing an extra year, that few INDECENT
students can spare the time or gather the
cash for college career. The expense
at Kent is not only very reasonable, not
much above that incurred at home, but

while pursuing the course of study which
! they choose. Thus the bark of knowI-
! edge is opened to many an ambitious
| youth, who otherwise might saunter in
waste places.

and l thought it should interest every in

tention to too modest institution of
learning, which except to d favored few
has too long hid its light under bushel.
We natives of Maine should be prouder
of Kent because true scholarship there
prevails, and she has not yielded to the
insane craze for athletics, which seem to
be rampant at the expense of scholar
ship in so many other schools in the
United States. And now, | would ask

for hacking our hacs.


The six O'Clock train took US only to
Del Monte Junction, and we had the
choice of waiting there for the Lark"
the midnight train to Los Angeles, on
which we had made our reservations, or
of taking local to Salinas, the county
seat, and waiting for the Lark there in
stead of at the Junction. The obliging
Del Morte porter, who came TO the
junction to look after our baggage, gave
US friendly advice to go to Salinas, since
there we could go to the ''movies" for
entertainment during our long wait We
took his advice, and attended the movies
at Salinas. but am afraid We were not
properly appreciative of the excellence
of the show. At any rate, after sitting
through an hour or so Of it we decided
that the deserted railway station was
preferable, SO back we went, and finish
ed memorable evening sitting upright
on the uncomfortable benches, writing
post cards, with the sleepy telegraph
operator our sole companion. A burned
out tunnel at Bakersfield on the Valley
division had temporarily shifted all the
through trains to the Coast division, con-
sequently none of them were running on
schedule time. The Lark finally pulled
in, however, half an hour late, and our
Pullman section, which was made up and
waiting for US, looked SO good that we
were in our section sleeping the sleep of
the weary in mountaineering time.

At the conclusion Of lengthy talk
the minister announced he should like

church. The pastor, thinking there
must be some misunderstanding, said
to him: II believe, sir, you are mis-
