EARLY MORNING FATIGUE

When you awaken the morning feel
ing tired out, feeling worse in fact than
when you wentto bed, you are confront-
ed with one of the Characteristic symp-
toms of neurasthenia. It is due to the
rundown condition Of the nerves that
rest does not bring renewed strength
and sleep refresh the tired brain. Over
work and worry are the most frequent
causes of this condition. Neurasthenia
is the name given to this common form
of nervous debility in which the power
to recuperate is gone.
The blood can DO built up 90 that it
win increase tho supply of needed ele-
ments to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can be
reached. DR.. williams Pink Pills are
Q tonic that especially builds up the
nerves because they supply to the blood
the elements that the nerves need.
Many nervous disorders, sometimes
chronic ones, have yielded to this tonic
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills
when other methods failed to give 10
lief. They are certainly worth . trial.

Mail Tempered with

DR.. A. G. Young. secretary of the
State Board of Health, has discovered
additional incidents of department mail
being tempered with by the censors Of
the Allied nations. A short time ago n
letter directed to the department from
an Italian point was opened by the
censor and two letters received by DR..
Young Tuesday from British possess
slons in this country showed evidences
OF having been opened by the censor.
One was from the health department
Of the city Of Montreal and the other
from the city health department of
Vancouver, British Columbia.
DR.. Young fears that the Allied CEN
sors may have heard that a portion of
his education was obtained in Ger
many and that he still sympathizes

{. A. ROGERS ACRI. DEPT,'S
SEED IMPROVEMENT EXPERT
REPORTS ON POTATO CROP

THE seed potato trade Of Maine is at
the present time large but it is capa-
BILE of being greatly increased provided
the potato growers in our state take
pains to keep their product above that
of other states says E. A. Rogers of
Topsham, assistant State dairy instruc-
tor. in charge of the seed improve
ment work. which has been made pub
lie
wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan
are making determined effort to get
and keep much Of the seed potato trade
winch now comes to our Maine grow
Iers,' continues Mr. Rogers. This
should not be allowed to happen and
whether it does or not depends largely
on the interest which our growers
take in the matter. The southern seed
trade is depending more and more each
year on seed true to name and free
from disease. They have not gotten
seed of this class from Maine in far
too many cases in the past.
1T is just as easy for our Maine
growers to produce seed of the highest
class as mongrel stock and at a much
greater profit to all concerned. 1t
seems to be a matter of education
among our growers. For this reason
the writer has at all times tried to
make this work as instructive as pos
sible to any farmer who entered any
crop for certification
There have been many growers who
nave quite seed trade who have never
made any systematic effort to improve
their own seed stock. Had the same
care been taken by the potato growers
to grow thoroughbred potatoes as has
peen taken by our dairy interests, horse
and swine breeders. the seed trade of
the State would have been worth a
good many hundreds of thousands Of
dollars more than is the case at present
The writer recalls one case in which
one man who had quite a seed trade
south who last spring bought at ten
cents per barrel several score barrels
or potatoes for his own planting, from
ms nelghbors who were hauling them
by his place to a starch factory He
could have no surety that these were
not mixed and indeed such was the
case Many acres planted from this
seed were entered for inspection and
certlncation but were disqualified for
Varletai mixture and disease. It is the
writer's firm belief that If this man had
taken pains with his seed in the mast
tnat his crop this year would have av.
eraged him at least $50 or more DER

which has been more or less out OF

mission and 1t Is again the rule to use
the slow, water-power elevator or walk
and most of the people If in any hurry

Many visitors to the State House on
holidays and Sundays, finding the door
in the end Of the north wing closed
think that the entire building is closed
to the public. Should they pass to the
northwest entrance or the main doors
they would be found open during the
regular hours. 1t is not unusual in
pleasant weather at this time Of year
or during the summer to see several
hundred visitors during a Sunday in
the State museum.

he laughed when told that it was the
effect Of a little permanganate Of So
dunn put there for the purpose Of pu-
rifying the tank. 1t doesn't seem to
bother the fish, they apparently hav-
ing become accustomed to it.
The great gathering Of angleworms
on the front steps and walks at the
State House during the sleet, snow and
rain storm of Tuesday was said to be
because of the desine that every State
House official who thought Of going
fishing on the holiday should have plen-
ty Of bait.

| To Finish the Bath
Brunswick Highway

The State Highway Commission has
advertised for bids to be opened April
% on 4.59 miles of road in Brunswick,
which will complete the section be-
tween Brunswick and Bath. 1t is
hoped by the commission that favor
able bid will be received so that the
work can be started Immediately. The
commission will make every effort to
have this section of road completed at
as early a date as possible, but if this
Season should be anything like last
year, on account Of the weather, it is
doubtful to say when this work would
be completed.
At the best the job will go rather
slowly, on account of the fact that tie
gravel will have to be drawn a long
way.

mand for electric current for light and
power in Sebec, and that the petitioner
is ready and able to furnish it without
injury to it's present customers or sub
stantial additional operating expense
1T also appeared that while the
Penobscot Bay Electric Company is au-
thorized to furnish a similar service in
the town, 1t is not doing so. So far
the evidence disclosed, and we think
| this to be a fact, it has taken no steps
to do SO. This action then will not
duplicate any system now established
or impair any investment already
made.
while there is real demand for
service, it is not yet large. The lines
will extend chiefly through an agricul-
tural section and the customers will be
principally farmers who will use the
current for varied domestic purposes
and in moderate units. The petitioner
proposes to run a 6600-volt two-phase
transmission system with transformers
for each customer or group Of con-
Veniently located customers to step
down to their Individual demands as
they are reached. It expects in this
way to serve this territory and develop
a substantial business at much less
expense than could be done by new
utility, or by one depending entirely
upon the patronage of this town.
1T is ordered, adjudged and decreed
that public convenience and necessity
require that public utility, other than
the Greenville Light and Power Co,
and its successor, the Penobscot Bay
Electric Co. to wit. the Milo Electric
Light and Power CO. furnish electricity
to the town Of Sebec for lighting, heat
ing, manufacturing and mechanical
purposes"
