For Poor Appetite and
Weak Digestion

The man who can't eat doesn't feel
much like working, and the man with
a weak stomach doesn't get much
pleasure out of eating. Your stomach
is very important to your health, work
and happiness. Don't abuse it, don't
neglect it, and when, for one cause or
another, your digestion goes wrong.
and you lose appetite, be kind to
your stomach. All it needs is a little
rest, and a few days doctoring with
Il. F." Atwood's Medicine. Very
soon you will see the improvement in
your appetite, and with the relish for
food, comes the strength to digest it.
For this old family remedy helps the
stomach, bowels and liver, and re-
news good appetite and sound diges-
ton.

Fish and Game

t0u 9uO o0Ur0
The following clipping is from the
Millinocket Times Of Nov. "a:
"Lewey A. Porter was in municipal
court Saturday charged with guiding
without license. He pleaded guilty
and was ordered to pay fine of $50
and costs, the fine being RENTED on
payment of costs, which he paid and
was discharged. This was a case when
tho respondent was not to blame, as
he had applied to the Fish and Game
Commission for a guides license, but
through some technical point it had
been held up at the office Of the Fish
and Game Commission"
The item was called to the attention
of the fish and game department,
where it was found that the "techni-
cal' point which held up" Mr.. Por-
ter's license was the commands Of the
Statutes, which give the commission
absolutely no leeway In the matter Of
issuing licenses to guides. The law as
passed by the last Legislature and
which was not a law Of the commits
sion's drafting or fathering, demands
that an applicant for guides license
must have the endorsement Of the mu-
nicipal officers Of his town. The appli-
cation blanks bears on one side in let
ters large and plain the following:
Guides will note that the endorse
ment Of the municipal officers Of the
town in which they reside or the near
est adjoining town If resident of un-
organized place, must be furnished be-
fore license can be granted. This en-
dorseuent must be furnished each
year a person wishes to guide).
Mr.. Porter's letter asking for a
guides license and enclosing the neces-
sary 81 fee was received last October
and on the 18th the department wrote
to him. enclosing blank, acknowledge
Ing the receipt of letter and 81 and
calling his attention to the endorse
ment requirements Of the law. Moth
Ing has since been heard from Mr..
Porter-hence it will be seen that the
technical" holdup Of his license was
his own fault and not that Of the de-
partment-for, strange to say, the de-
partments and officials Of the State
government are obliged to obey the
same laws they administer.
