SOME OF THE I'M
PORTANT INDUS
TRIES OF BANGOR

BANGOR. Jan. 27.-Bangor hasn't q
cotton or wooden mill, nor q shoe fac
tory. nor in fact any kind Of large
factory. vet the ofYlcial census figures
which were published this week show
that the city has about $3.bOO,O0O IN
vested in manufacturing plants which
turn out about that amount in fin
ished products a year from about
$4,000, 900 worth of material.
The industries Of Bangor are num-
erous and varied, but none Of any
great extent. II any one should cease
to exist, 1t would have little or no ef-
feet on the general prosperity Of the
city, which makes Bangor practically
immune from any setback from labor
troubles, which are comparatively un-
known here.
The Made in Bangor" mark may
be put on a long list of products.
Lumber and lumber products, any
thing that can be made Of spruce or
pine for the building and finishing OF
a building has long been a Bangor
speciality. The brick business has de-
clined. but is replaced by cast-stone
and cement blocks which are now
made here. Stoves. ranges and fur
naces, long a notable Bangor product.
continue with a solid market. Ban
gor-made trunks and suitcases go all
over the world. One Of the finest
plants Of the city turned out carloads
Of mattresses and spring beds.
An industry which has grown rapid
ly is the making Of moccasins and
Indian slippers. which are sold all
over the country. The cigar industry
is extensive for a city Of Bangor's
size, and there is a cigarette factory.
Bangor-made cigars hold the market
Of Eastern and Northern Maine in
successful competition with the gen.
eral trade. There are said to Doe no
better fishing rods in the world than
Two old-established machine shops
can turn out almost anything made Of
iron or steel, and all castings can be
Bangor made. A pottery has been in
operation for many years and makes
Ia grade Of goods that has an estab-
lished reputation.
Other products which bear the Ban
gor-nnade mark includes canoes. oars,
paddles. chewing gum, poultry food.
rubber stamps, sails. awnings. shirts.
skirts. wrappers. knit goods, paper
boxes. shoe polish, soda water. car
riages and wagons. crackers, barrels,

goth Anniversary Of Eben
Leighton, Mt. Vernon, Ne.

Mt. Vernon. Me-, Jan. 27-(SpeciaD
To-day marks another milestone in
the life of our esteemed citizen, Eben
Leighton, whose ssth birthday ami
versary it is. Mr.. Leighton il a ma
tive Of this town, having been born at
the old Leighton homestead at Leigh
tons Corner" SO called. on. Jan. q.
1917, the middle one Of a family Of
nine children Of David and Lydia
(Rogers) Leighton.
Father and mother and eight broth
! ers and sisters have been gone many
years, yet Eben, the middle one, still
lives and attends to good amount OF
work Of various kinds.
Mr.. Leighton in 1850 married Miss
Lucy Carr Of this town and together
they carried on the home farm for
many years, removing from there to
this village in 1880.
They had that year erected a large
houes and stable and for IA years
were engaged in the hotel business
and it is not an unusual thing for
! Uncle Eben" and Aunt Lucy" to
have a call from a patron Of those
years.
Two children have been born to
them, one little girl, who died at the
age Of two years, and Mrs. Alice Ty-
Ter. who lives in the same house with
; them and gives them much care and
attention.
They have one grandson, Jarvis L.
Tyler Of the Peoples National Bank
of Pennington. also one great grand
daughter, Maxine Tyler.
F, A sad feature of the home life is the
| ill health Of Mrs. Leighton, she being
practically helpless, the effects OF
shock of paralysis 20 years ago; yet II
would be impossible to find one more
patient and cheerful than she. Much
of Mr.. Leighton's time is spent in at
tending to her wants.

EXERCISE AND
CRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT TT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now
a-days paying attention to physical cul-
ture and the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which il
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, exeelled in beautiful and sym
metrical forms was because of the A.
tenhon they paid to the proper exer-
else. Then, too, they were untsaun-
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea Of hard
fatiguing work. Mild exercise con-
timed day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be NO
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof Of the
sound remedial value of Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription than that it re-
stores the wasted form to its wonted
roundness.

ceeded to the home of Cyrus Brewer,
who took him in, gave him dry clothing
and a good. warm supper. He tele-
phoned to c. E. Sherman & Son that
he was all right at about the same
time word came from South Bristol
that the father was safe. Charlie Sher-
man and Will Pitcher, who is a broth
er-in-law, went to Ocean Point by auto
and brought the young man home.
Today Cyrus Brewer and his son,

badly damaged. They also speared
and recovered about three hundred
weight of the fish.

YES-IT IS POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail in othetacases.
The darling pains, lame muscles or
stifened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and so
many thousands have been relieved by
the blood-enriching oil-food in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give it a
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion acts as
apowerful blood-puriher by increasing
the red corpuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry off the acids which
cause the trouble.
Try Scott s Emulsion. Itcannot harm.
1t has helped thousands and may be ex-
actly what you need. No Alcohol.

Woolwich, Me, Jan. 27-James
Tibbetts. the Oldest man here, cele-
brated his Goth birthday Wednesday
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
B. Wright on the Hockomock road.
He received many callers during the
afternoon, and although blind many
years, he was delighted to grasp them
by the hand.
For more than half a century he
was a member Of the village choir
and his rich voice has lost but little
Of its original charm as proved this
afternoon when he sung many Of the
favorite songs Of so years ago. Mr..
Tibbetts was for many years a sue
cessful log driver on the Kennebec

He has chewed tobacco since child
hood, and is inclined to believe it has
preserved him from illness. as he has
scarcely had a sick day in his life.

MORE NATIVES IN
+ WOODS THIS SEA-
SON THAN USUAL
Bangor Commercially

Contrary to reports that there are
many more French Canadians In the
woods Of Maine this year. than for the
past few years, local employers OF the
woodsmen say that there are even
fewer than formerly and that there are
also less Finlanders and Polanders than
has been the case in recent years.
The reason that there are fewer
Finlanders and Polanders now is
thought to be that many Of these, who
have been in the country for a few
years, work in the foundries and ma
chine shops of the cities during the
summer months and now that there Is
plenty Of work in these, the men prefer
to remain in the cities, in fact those In
the cities are writing to their friends
in the woods Of Maine and there are
at the present time, more Finlandefs
and Poles going out Of the woods than
going in.
Then, too, there are none Of these
men coming to this country since the
war began and naturally there are
fewer who are DESTROYS Of going into
the woods when they can obtain work
in the cities. The type of Fins and
Poles now in the woods is superior to
what is usually there. They can use
fairly good English and are more Am
ercanized. this being due, it is thought,
to the fact that many Of the new
corners to this country formerly came
directly to this vicinity and went into
the woods.
Local men who know the conditions
say there are more natives in the
| woods today than there have been for
several years.
AS far as the French Canadians are
concerned the men who hire men for
the woods say it Is not correct that
they are coming to this country to
avoid service in the army. Some time
ago when there was no work in Can
ada for the woodsmen many came here
in order to get living but a good part
of these have since returned home to
Join the army.
Many of the camps in Aroostook
county, that formerly employed a large
number OF men, are now working with
one-half and one-third the average
crew and because Of this a large num-
Der OF the French Canadians who were
formerly employed in these camps,
have gone to other camps. making 1T
appear that there were more OF their
nationality in the woods than former
ly. At Jackman in particular this Is
true as there have been several new
camps opened up and the wages are
better than in the other camps.

CURING INFANTlLE PARALYSIS.
Plaque Outbreak No Reason For
 Public Excitment.

New York.-Although reports or deaths from infantile paralysis and of new cases in the city are showing an increase Health Department officials and others associated with them in the fight against the disease were en- couraged in their work, and repeated that the outbreak gave no reason for public excitement.
 The total number of cases to date is 1,719; of deaths, 342. There are 354 children i'll with the disease in the Willard Parker Hospital, 906 in the Kingston Avenue Hospital, and 20 in the Riverside Hospital. These are the principal receiving hospitals, but there are children i'll with the disease in a half-dozen other hospitals in the city.
 Meanwhile communities throughout the East are so stirred by the alarm ing reports that they are putting up bars both against children and adults coming from New York city. The Health Department is issuing eerti- 6cates to those leaving parts Of the city not infected by the child seourge in an effort to eliminate as far as possible hindrance by the authorities in New jersey, Connecticut and other nearby states.

Following the hurricane that struck the South Atlantic Coast, unprecedent- ed rains have fallen, driving rivers and smaller streams from their banks and imperilling many lives.
 The French Broad River has broken from it's course near Asheville, food ing factories and homes in the lower part of the city. At Biltmore three persons, Capt. J. C. Lipe, Miss Nellie Lipe and Mrs. Leo Mulholland, drown ed when the Lipe house was flooded.
 Miss Mabel Foister, 24, and Miss Charlotte Walker 26. nurses at the Biltmore Hospital, who first were re- ported rescued from the Lipe home are missing. They had spent the night at the Lipe home.
 The village of Biltmore property loss, including woodworking plants and lumber yards, was placed at $300,- 900. Whether the large Vanderbilt estate had been damaged could not be learned because of it's being cut off from here by floods, but persons familiar with that section thought the Biltmore nurseries must have suffer- ed heavily.
 Hendersonville reports placed the property loss in Henderson county at approximately $1,000,000. The South ern Railway was the heaviest sufferer of any corporation in this section.
 Property loss in cotton mills, wood- working plants and lumber yards along the French Broad and Swan nanoa rivers was estimated at from s1.50O,O00 to s2,0000,0 000
 Eighteen men, fourteen construc- ton officials and employees of the Southern Railway and four linemen of the Western Union Telegraph Company are missing and are beliey- ed to be either drowned or marooned in trees on the Catawba River about twelve miles from Charlotte. The river is rising rapidly. The eighteen men with possibly a few spectators were swept into the river when the Southern Railways main line bridge south toward Spartansburg was wash cd away by the swollen Catawba.
