Some Savings Bank Figures

The journal recently had an inquiry
from gentleman in Aroostook county
about the savings bank deposits in
Maine and in response to d similar
inquiry Bank Commissioner Irving f.
Vernon save us the following figures:
What we term the assets of our
savings banks for the year ending Dec.
I, 1915 were $106.523.164.40. The saw
ings deposits in the same banks were
$97, $40 53874. The difference between
the two represent the reserve fund,
undivided profits, etc. These figures
represent an increase over the figures
of 1914 Of $423.31O.O4.
I'VE also have on deposit in the
savings departments of the Trust Com
panieS $32.754.014. which is an increase
Of $970,994.20 over the preceding year.
You will thus see that the total
savings deposits in savings banks and
trust companies for the year 1915 was
$3.50. 433, ,553.47.
"A noteworthy fact also is the much
larger increase in the trust companies
deposits over the savings banks. es-
pecialiy noticeable when the relative
size Of the total deposits is noted"

WILL YOU FOLLOW THESE sUG-
GESTIONS?
DON'T throw away burning matches
and tobacco; it only takes a second to
make sure they are out.
DON'T leave a camp fire burning;
build a small one in safe place and
use water and earth in putting it out.
DON'T burn brush or slash when the
woods are dry; talk it over with your
fire warden.
Care and caution in the woods will
add wealth to Maine and will make
our State better place to live in.
The State law in regard to forest
fires is strict and it is the duty Of
every citizen to help enforce it.

NERvOUS.--N0 APPETITE
Hartford Woman Tells How She Re-
gained Strength

Hartford, Conn. Il was rundown,
nervous. no appetite, could not sleep,
and had no strength. an old lady told
me how much Vinol had helped her
when in a like condition. l tried it and
noticed an improvement within a
week. 1t soon built up my strength,
my nervousness disappeared and 1 can
sleep we'll. I have never found any
remedy equal to Vinol to create
strength" Mrs. Clara Burr.
It's the tonic iron, the medicinal ex-
tractives Of fresh Gods liver without
oil, and beef peptone contained in vi
mol, that makes it SO successful in en-
riching the blood and creating strength
for rundown, nervous, over-worked
women.
We have seen such wonderful re-
suits right here in Augusta from the
use ol vinol, that we will return the
money IN every such case where it
fails to give satisfaction.

Thin Folks Who
Want to Get Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More

Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds ana
stay that way" declares every excess
sively thin man or woman. Such re-
suit is not impossible, despite past fall
ures Most thin people are victims OF
mal-nutrition, condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are, when the powers of nutrition are
normal Instead Of getting into the
blood, much of the fat and flesh pro-
ducing elements stay in the intestines
until they pass from the body as waste.
I To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy. normal. amount of fat,
the nutritive processes must be arti-
ficially supplied with the power which
nature has denied them. This can
probably best he accomplished by eat
ing a Sarge tablet with every meal.
Sargol is a careful combination OF six
splendid assimilative agents. Taken
with meals they mix with the food to
turn tie sugars and starches Of what
YOU have eaten into rich, ripe nourish-
ment, for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect fas been in many cases re-
ported remarkable. Reported gains of
from ten to twenty-five pounds in a
single month are by no means infre-
qucnt Yet its action is perfectly nat
ural and absolutely harmless. Sargol
is sold by Bowditch & Webster and
other druggists everywhere and every
package contains guarantee OF
weight increase or money back.
NOTE:-Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous indigestion.
etc, have been reported care should
be taken about using it unless a gain
of weight is desired.-Adv.

REPORT OF STATE
HORTICULTURIST

THE weather conditions the past
season were most unsatisfactory and
as a result the crop Of fruit and small
fruits was of poor quality and very
much limited in quantity" says Albert
K Gardner, who until a few weeks ago
was the State horticulturist, in his
annual report which was made public
here today.
Continuing in a discussion of the
conditions existing for the past year.
Mr.. Gardner says:
Because of the season and the small
amount Of fruit. there was quite con-
siderable falling off in spraying on the
part of the growers with the possible
exception Of the dormant application.
There was more or less winter killing

A Law That 10 Not q Law.

An article appeared in the last weeks
issue of the Boothbay Register to the
effect that the girl night operator in
the local telepone Office was just giving
up her position on account of the new
law and the change "is required by the
Public Utilities Commission" The ar
ticle also said: "And everybody will
feel sorry that the operation of the new
law, which was designed to help wo-
men. has cost her the position"
Chief Clerk Geo. F. Giddings of the
commission, when his attention was
called to the statement said that it
had become SO fashionable. whenever
anything went wrong or was not un-
derstood in the workings Of law to
charge it up to the Public Utilities, that
he was not surprised at the inaccu-
racy of the report. The Public Utili-
ties knew nothing of such a case and
had nothing to do with such law, but
he would suggest that anyone interest
ed might consult Labor Commissioner
Roscoe p. Eddy, who knew all about
the laws governing the employment of
women.
Commissioner Eddy was consulted.
He was shown the Boothbay Register
item and he not only smiled, he laughed
Another fellow all tangled up" said
he. There is no such law in exist
ence and has never been. The con-
fusion arises over the fact that law
Chapter $50, Relative to the hours
of employment of women and Minors
which went through the Legislature
at the last session, was held up by the
referendum and therefore is not in
force. as many people seem to think.
The Statutes has nothing in the way of
law prohibiting woman working
where she will or when she will, day or
night. other than the provisions of the
5S-hour law.
"A similar confusion has just been
occasioned over in Bangor by people
not keeping themselves informed as
to the important laws enacted for their
benefit. Some one in that city discov-
cred that all kinds of changes must
at once be made among the hundreds
OF people employed there in various
business ways and were all stirred up
over the husting that must be done to
accomplish it within the time limit
The story got into one of the papers
and created no end Of excitement. I
have written them not to worry be-
cause it is all mistake on their part
misunderstanding as to the law upon
our Statute books now in force"

Stock was exceptionally clean during

these shipments come from Holland

noticeable that this stock has not been
