GRIPPE EPIDEMIC
Give instant Attention to Any Sian
of a Cold.

An epidemic Of the grippe seems to
be everywhere. The air is full of the
dread germs. In the theatres. street
cars, stores. everywhere where peo-
pie gather in large numbers, you are
likely to get it.
So don't take any chances, don't be
foolish and say "Oh it is only a
cold' but give it instant attention. AS
soon as YOU feel irritation in your
nose or throat or any of the other ia
miliar signs of having caught cold go
at once to the drug store and get some
quinine or rhinitis pills. The drug
gist will tell you how many to take if
you do not already know.
Then take a dessert spoonful Of
sugar and pour on it enough of johns
sons Anodyne Liniment to thoroughly
soak the sugar. Eat the mixture let
ting it melt in. your mouth and slowly
trickle down your throat.
Have plenty of fresh air in the room
but keep warm and do not get in any
draft.
There are lots of people who never
have any serious colds because they
follow these instructions of good old
DR.. Abner Johnson who originated
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment over one
hundred years ago.-Adv.

Next Meeting Of Governor and Council

The Public Utilities Commission has
rendered a decision in the matter OF
W. E. Cobb of Caribou. complainant
and the Bangor & Aroostook and
Maine Central Railroads, respondents,
asking reparation for an overcharge on
a freight charge on a carload of dirty
salt and fish scraps from Bucksport to
Caribou. The fertilizer tariff at the
time-Nov. 4. 1915-was IL cents per
hundred, but salt and fish scraps were
not scheduled as fertilizer. and Mr..
Cobb was obliged to pay the 161@-cent
rate, the total freight amounting to
sl11.69. Under the fertilizer rate the
freight would have amounted to $10,69,
adm the difference between the two, or
$4079, is the amount asked for.
The commission in granting the petit
ton says:
1.-The claim under consideration Is in
teresting for the reason that 1t indi-
Gates the difficulty which our farm
ers have to encounter this year in
getting fertilizer for the land, this diff
ficulty being occasioned by the shut
