This trouble commonly called sick head

urea in the system. Often 1t is stated that
q poor condition Of the blood is q cause OF
these headaches, or that 1t Is nervous
condition; and in certain cases, no doubt
this is true.
Where treatment is demanded, It is more
for the pain than anything .else, and DR..
A. f. Schellsehmidt of Louisville, has
found anti-kamnia tablets to give prompt
and satisfactory. relief. REST should be

the attendants and family should be as
quiet as possible. An emetic will some:
be kept open with "Actoids"; a hot bath and
a thorough rundown with q coarse towel,
often give grateful relief. Two anti.kamnia
tablets when the first signs appear, will
usually prevent the attack. During an at.
tack, one tablet every hour or two will
shorten the attack and relieve the usual
nausea and vomiting" These tablets may
be obtained at all druggists. Ask for Ak
Tablets. They are also unexcelled for ner.

Up to the present time, not single
fish weighing over ten pounds has been
captured at the pool. and very few
salmon have been captured at all. This
is quite a contrast with last year,
when nine big fish were captured the
first day, including 16-pounder cap
tured by John L. Thomas Of Rockland,
which was sent to the President. Then,
on May 20. M. J. Daley Of Burlington.
VT, who had never seen live salmon
before, succeeded in capturing a mon
ster fish weighing 24h pounds, after
struggle Of an hour or SO. And al
most every day that the fishermen
were out, they captured one or two.
There have been many days this month
when nothing was taken.
However. conditions may change for
the better soon and the big fish may
bite before the season closes on July

Some fishermen have advanced the
theory that the planting Of humpbacl<
salmon in the Penobscot has been a
hurt to regular salmon, tending to
drive them out, but the United States
authorities laugh at this and say
there's nothing in it.

FISH AND GAME
Bangor Commercial, April 21)

Bangor Commercial, April 21)
Fishermen will welcome the news
that the ice left Green lake Friday
forenoon, for this means that fishing
trips to this big and popular body Of
water will shortly be in order. Also
the fact that Green lake is open is
very strong indication that other
lakes in this vicinity will also be free
of ice in the near future and available
for fishing.
Local anglers hope that fish will bite
better in the lakes than they have in
the Penobscot river thus far. To be
frank, the first 21 days of the salmon
season in the Penobsoot have not been
successful by any means, although
there have been lot Of boats out
nearly every day.

There is no longer home market

factories, scrap the machinery, throw
men out Of work by the thousands,
and create tremendous economic
loss, or to develop foreign markets
and keep our plants running at ca
pacity.
Factory Efficiency Will Win Trade.
Whether we can hold our new for
eign markets, and develop them still
further, depends upon two things:
the quality of our goods and their
price. OF the quality there is no
question. American goods are re-
garded as the best In every foreign

price, and in that we are at a disad-

which the American people failed to

that foreign markets desire goods Dir
