est and surest Stomach

gas and eructate sour. undigested food.
or have a feeling Of dizziness. heart
burn. fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache, you can
surely get relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
f1fty-cent cases Of Pape's Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles Of all kinds must go,
and why it relieves, sour, out of order
stomachs or indigestion in five min
utes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is harmless:
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
ton into the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with a healthy appetite; but
what will please you most, is that you
will feel that your stomach and intes-
tines are clean and fresh, and you will
not need to resort to laxatives or liver
pills for biliousness or constipation.

Diapepsin" cranks, as some peope will
call them, but you will be enthusiastic
about this splendid stomach prepara-
ton. too, If you ever take it for indi-
gestion, gases. heartburn, sourness,
dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.

Fish and Game

Chairman Harry b. Austin of Phil.
lips and Commissioner Leon G. G.
brown of Milo are in the city attend
ing to Maine Fish and Game Commits
sion business.
Repohts coming to the department
vary as to the number of bears in diff
ferent sections, but reports are numer-
Gus concerning the damage done by
them. An Aurora farmer recently killed
a 200-pound bear that had just killed
two of his best sheep and spoiled an
other. He favors a restoration of the
bounty on bears.
Bears have also killed q heifer owned
by II. H. Putnam of Kossuth, in upper
Washington county.
Bears are also reported to have killed
a year-old heifer in Kossuth, upper
Washington county, owned by H. H.
Putnam of Danforth.
b. G. Walker of Island Falls writes
that bears have recently killed II out
OF his flock of sheep in a pasture and
asking how he can secure recompense
He was referred to the Laws of Maine
relating to Agriculture, Section IL,
Chapter 222, Revised Statutes, as
amended by Chapter 40, Public Laws
of 1911, which provide that when sheep,
lambs or other domestic animals are
killed by dogs or wild animals, the
owner may make complaint to the mu-
nicipal officers within seven days of
the occurrence and the officers shall in
vestigate and if satisfied that the dam
age was done by dogs or wild animals,
shall estimate damage at the full
which they are kept. whether as breed
ers or other purposes, and direct that
the same shall be paid from the town
treasury.
Many sections report the skunks and
foxes destroying many cartridges, the
scarcity of which is reported from
about all directions. The squirrels have
also helped in this line, eating the eggs
whenever found. The cold, backward
season at the partridges' breeding time
was another setback to the amount of
that game and taken all in all it is no
wonder that the hunter considers a sim
gle. lone partridge. a pretty good bag.
The work at the fish screen at Jones
pond in Gouldsboro is practically COM
pleted and quantity of small trout
and salmon from the State hatcheries
were last week placed in the pond. This
screen work is done by private parties,
but has the approval of the commits
sioners. the original permit being is
sued in 1918.
Surveys have been made by Civil
Engineer Henry F. Hill of Augusta for
the Fish and Game Commission for
hshways at Columbia Falls on Pleasant
river. at Dennysville on Denny's river
and at Topsfield on Musquash stream.
The commissioners have investigated
the needs at each of these places and
were all in favor Of the fishways.

State House Girls Defrauded

A chain letter scheme, which is evil
IDENTIFY of fraudulent nature, numbers
among it's victims several of the young
ladies at the State House. A Chicago
concern proposed to give a 1916 model
petticoat retailing at $3.50 to anyone
who would send 10 cents in silver and
at the same time make five copies of a
circular letter sent out by the con-
Germ and mail to five Of their friends,
whose names and addresses also to be
mailed to the concern. That the con-
Germ is fraudulent and being investi-
gated so closely that it dares not re-
ceive its mail is indicated by the fact
that letters sent out have been return
ed to the sender and there have been
no $3.50 petticoats of the 1916 model

fire warden for the upper part Of
Washington county, writes as follows:
There have been no big fires during
the season and my deputies have done
great work. The locality is well post
ed with danger signals. The bushes
should be cut and the brush and logs
piled back from the road on all of
these plantations. This would have a
lot of fires"
]. B. Rosignol of Grindstone, chief
warden for the south end of the east
branch of the Penobscot river, writes
as follows:
II have fixed the road so that l can
drive within one half a mile of the
lookout station with a team. have
fixed up an old lumber telephone line.
l suggest that the lookout station to
Milestone Falls on the east branch be
improved another season"
D. H. Boswell, chief fire warden for
the southern part of the Maine Fores-
try District in Piscataquis county,
writes as follows:
"a new telephone line has been built
during the past season in the White
Cap region from B. Pond to Charles
Bemis' camp at Yoke Pond. A new
cabin at Boarstone Mountain for the
lookout man to live in has also been
built. 1 think that it would be a good
plan to continue the line from Yoke
Pond to the line of the Great Northern
Paper Company at Crawford. Then
the state would have a continuous line
from Moosehead to Twin Lake. l also
think it would be good plan to have
the line at Boarstone connected direct
to the main line instead of running to
Drew"

HIGH COST OF LIVING
State Farm Institute Lecturer Sam
Jordan Blames Business Methods
and Downright Dishonesty

livered according to agreement, and
| by that time had almost two more cars
sold to be delivered as soon as could
be done. The idea appeared to be with
the dealer, "Sell as little as you can
for the biggest price you can get"
He stated that the packing COM
panies seem to work on the same prin-
ciple, for they have driven the cattle
grower out of business to such an ex-
tent that there are more than 13,000,-
900 head of beef cattle less in the
United States now than there were in
1900, and they have made the price
so high to the consumer that he is
learning to live without meat. For
the last ten years, at least, he has had
to pay "war" prices, at a time when
cattle feeders were going bankrupt in
the cattle feeding business.
Where the Difference Goes.
The speaker was asked to explain
where the great difference goes that
is found between the producer and the
consumer, and where all these differ
ences occur.
He said it is long story, but it is
one of lack of information, bad bust
ness methods and downright dishon-
esty, part of which has been explain.
I'd. He said the greatest loss seemed
| 70 be from the time the products ar
rive at the commission house and the
time they leave it. He gave, as a
general illustration, the farmer bring
ing basket of eggs to market in
which are the white eggs, the brown
ones, the little, big, clean, dirty, fresh.
tolerably fresh and rotten.
Local dealers largely send them on
the same way to the commission house
where men have to be employed to
unpack, candle, sort, grade and re-
pack, and prepare for the various
market demands. The commission
house must have some share of the
profits, and when the bill is returned
it appears that the commission man
has robbed him. While, as a matter
of fact, all this extra work had to be
paid for, and most of it might have
been done before the eggs left the
farm, had the people at that end of
the line been so inclined. We are liv-
ing too much. the speaker said, in an
age of "Let George do it."
Storage Men Under Suspicion.
The speaker asserted reports were
to the effect also that cold-storage
plants are in a large way to blame
for high prices. 1t is suspected that
an investigation will reveal many
things along this line.
Growing what the market wants
and preparing it the way the market
wants it is the farmers job, accord
ing to Jordan. To find the best mar
ket for the farmer should be the deal
er's job, since the merchant is inter
ested in the farmer to the extent of
the farmers ability to buy, and his
ability to buy is measured exactly by
what he gets for what his farm pro-
duces. In face of these facts, it would
seem only a matter of good business
to get him the high dollar instead of
the low dollar. This, said he, can be
determined only by an exchange of
information relative to the demands
of various markets of the country.
1t will answer the question if we
could cut out the waste, take up the
lost motion, play fair and obey the
law
