A Correction

The heading was correct and the
date of opening of the big game hunt
ing season was correctly stated in an
article in Mondays Journal but tho
failure to change part of a sentence
about deer hunting. the article having
been written for pub-ication on an ear
her date, caused annoyance TO the
Fish and Game department by re
peated inquiries about the proper date.
Most people could soc the evident mis-
take and those interested were inter
ested enough to have posted them
selves on the law-but there are others,
hence this correction. Such a multitude
of inquiries proves. however. that the
old *. J. is read some, doesn't it?

GOV. MILLIkEN SUGGESTS
FIRE PROTECTION WEEK

Governor Carl E. Milliken, in a state
ment issued Tuesday, suggests that as
Il patriotic duty that the citizens Of
Maine during the week beginning Oct.
IS, 1917, give particular attention TO
the protection of their property against
possible destruction by fire, observing
therefor Fire Protection week.
The average annual fire loss in
Maine during the past five years was
sS,2l6,735 90" said Governor Milliken.
"On the basis of the 1910 census this
is a per capita loss of S4.3S.
I'm addition to the loss Of property
there was a loss of life because Of
fire of 30 persons in 1914; % in 1915;
33 in 1915 with numerous injuries not
fatal of which we have no record"
continued the Governor.
With need for all food and supplies
because of the demands Of war it is
the duty to direct attention to the
preservation and protection of our re-
.sourCes against this loss, more than
one half of which is recognized as
readily preventable.
First, food and supplies produced
within the State for our own con-
sumption and for distribution beyond
our borders as we'll as those supplies
brought here and stored pending dis
tribution for consumption; second
manufacturing plants; third, mercan-
tile buildings and other property,
Therefore, 1t is suggested that as a
patriotic duty the citizens OF Maine
during the week beginning October 8,
1917, give particular attention to the
protection of their property against
possible destruction by fire.
That special attention be given to
the safety Of homes by an examinat ton
of all chimneys and f1ues care Of
matches, use of kerosene and gasoline
and other likely causes of fire.
THAT merchants examine or cause to
examine their buildings with special
care to the good condition of heating
and lighting apparatus, accummuIa
tons of rubbish and any other mater
laIs likely to originate or spread a fire
Ihat manufacturers protect THEN.
mills and factories against possible fire
damage by providing safe heating and
lighting facilities and by removing anv
possible cause of fire; that the safety
of employees also receive their attention.
That mercantile buildings be given
caretul attention in a similar manner
to avoid possible loss because of fire.
In general, that the people Of the
state make it their duty to remove as
far as may lie within their power the
possibility Of destruction by fire of any
property within their control. or TO aid
in any manner possible the destruction
or damage Of any property surrounding
them"

Water blisters
All Over Body For
Thirteen Years
Itched So Had to Tie ChiId's Hands.
Very Cross and FretfuI. Hair
Came Out. Cuticura Healed.

''My son was three years old when
water blisters began on his head, then
on his eyes, and then all over his body.
His skin was inhamed and red, and the
breaking out itched so that ! had to tie
mittens on his hands for he would scratch
and make it spread. He was very cross
and fretful, and kept me awake nights.
His clothing would stick to him and his
hair came off and was dry and lifeless.
The trouble lasted thirteen years.
He began TO use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, and in two weeks there was
hardly a pinple on my boy, and now
he is healed" (Signed) Mrs. Martha
/. Thomas. r. F. D. 3, Chester, Vt,

Use Cuticura Soap for toilet purposes,
assisted, now and then, by touches Of
Cuticura Ointment to soothe and heal
any tendency to irritation, redness or
rouehness of'the skin or scalp. BY using
