Prosecution Arson
Case, No. Newcastle

Insurance Commissioner Erastus j.

George Blake of North Newcastle on
the charge Of arson, it being alleged
that he set on fire the sawmill of
George W. Clifford at North Newcastle
on Jan. %. 1916, the mill being destroy
ed, with all it's contents and throwing
about 20 men out of employment The
loss was heavy and Mr.. Clifford had no
insurance
Blake was arraigned before Recorder
George w Singer and pleaded not gull
ty. but after the introduction of the
testimony of seven witnesses for the
state probable cause was found and he
was bound over to the grand jury which
will meet on April % at Wiscasset. He
furnished $500 bonds for appearance.
The complaint was made by Lawrence
j. Colgan of Augusta. an investigator
for the State Insurance Department,
who had worked up the case in his u.s.
ual careful and thorough manner. The
case presents several pitiable phases.
Blake is a married man with nine child
rem, the oldest but 10 years and the
youngest but about year The family
lives in a camp in the woods off from
the travelled road. Blake had been en-
ployed by Clifford in the mill but had

At the States Prison at ThomaSton

"At the States Prison at Thomaston
| found four sets of scales, and, not
wi.hstanding that / expected to find
a deplorable condition existing in their
weighing devices, I am frank to say
that the four sets were found to be in
excellent condition and received as
much care and attention by those in
charge as any furniture in the use OF
the institution. All goods received ana
all goods consumed are checked over
these scales.
THE Military and Naval Orphan
Asylum at Bath has no means or
weighing or checking up goods bought,
excepting a small brass face spring
balance of a capacity of 10 pounds.
No checking system is used whatever.
1.-THE State hospital at Bangor has
four sets of scales running from a
small counter scale to the outdoor or
platform scale. One set of scales,
owing to careless handling by one Of
the patients at the institution, was
temporarily put out of commission.
An expert scale-man was called in and
the defect corrected, SO that the scales
in that institution were all tested and
sealed. They use the system of check
ing all produce and coal furnished the
institution and used by than.
"At the University of Maine we
found seven sets of scales. Four Of
these were at the Experiment Station
and were tested and found correct.
The scales used in the dairy depart
ment We're found considerably out of
balance and l was unable to get from
, the man in attendance that any corr
siderable attention was given to the
scales, and so long as they show ap
prOXimately the amount of milk and
other products of the dairy they were
accepted as satisfactory by them. III

were used to weigh the feed for
the cattle I found balanced up with
chips of wood. | also found that in the
dairy department they were using as
a measure for their milk an unsealed

party in charge that the milk sold to
their customers was measured in that
container.
AT the Augusta State hospital a
large set of platform scales were found
to be on a draft of 500 pounds out four

at five and one-half pounds and the
poiSe drop back to three and one-half
pounds the result would be the same.
The track scales used for checking

found in a worse condition than the
scales used in buying produce for the
kitchen supply. A car Of coal was run
on to the track and after taking the
J weight of the coal, two heavy men

Your Children Become
Rosy and Robust

When children act listless, look
frail, lose appetite, become cross and
peeHsh, you need to look after them
very carefully. The dull eyes, coated
tongue, bad breath tell you that the
stomach is out of order, the liver mac
tive, the bowels need attention, and
perhaps worms may be making their
troubles worse. Whatever it is, you
may be sure that Il. F." Atwood's
Medicine will do them a great deal
of good. 1t acts surely on the stom-
ach and bowels, regulates the liver,
and has a tonic effect which brings
back appetite, fills out cheeks and
makes them rosy. This medicine is
safe for the children, and you see its
good effects in surprisingly short time.
Buy 35c bottle at your nearest store.

Revolutionary Sol
der Land Claim

]. Julian Heath Of Seal Cove has
been this week at the State House in
the interests of his claim for 200 acres
Of the State land apportioned to Maine
soldiers of the Revolutionary war, to
which he claims to be entitled as di-
rect descendant of a Revolutionary
soldier who had never filed his claim
Numerous others of these soldiers
neglected to file their claims and Mr.
Heath thinks that enough of the land
remains to more than satisfy his
claim.
The State Of Maine in the eos au
thorized the State land agent to deed
the lands to the soldiers or their de-
scendants. Mr.. Heath in the last Leg
islature secured the passage of a sup
Elementary measure giving him the
right to such land as might be found
remaining from that Revolutionary al
lotment. 1t is understood that his land,
If located and proved by him. with the
stumpage, ETC., will represent a con-
siderable sum-
| The matter of locating may not be
an easy matter, because the land Of
| fee records in some instances are not
all they could be desired to be and
it viii be difficult matter to trace
out all the old plots and lots Of that
time.
Investigation by the land office To-
Gated what appeared to be two unsold
lots in Woodville, Penobscot county,
which would come under the Revolu-
tionary soldier allotment, being Lots
q and 35, but further investigation
showed that they had been decided to
or ]. Chamberlain of Brewer, on two
Revolutionary certificates, and he had
sold them for $3.50 to Holyoke Baker
& Co. Of Brewer. The deed was exc
cuted on Aug. s, 1854, and recorded on
| Sept 81. 1854. The tract had been sur
veyed by Noah Barber, a famour sur
veyor of that time.
That disposes Of all the land allotted
to Revolutionary soldiers or their de-
scendants so far as is known, al
though some who are acquainted with
the case have ventured the opinion
that some land has been sold and is
now neld by titles which might not
hold water. It is understood that Mr.
Heath will secure the services of a
lawyer to press his claim.

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it,
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust. dirt.
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for mOnthS-Adv.
