COL. BURNS DIES
AT SKOWHEGAN

Skowhegan, Me. April 15-(SpeciaD
Col. George H. Burns died at his
home in Skowhegan. at an early hour
Sunday morning after an illness dat
ing back to December last. Much OF
the time since then he has been On
fined to his room and toward the end
of his illness he sustained two para
lytic shocks.
Col. Burns was born in Madison a few
miles out of S~kowhegan 81 years ago last
December, the son of Joshua and Per-
melia Frances tAdams) Burns. A brother,
Luther, died when young, and a sister,
Miss Nevada Burns, in young woman
hood, while there are two surviving sis
tiers, Mrs. Sarah B. Whittier of Orlando.
Fla, and Mrs. Lizzie 3. Lombard, Of
Lakewood and Orlando, Fla. He grew up
on HIS fathers farm, but at a fairly early
age suffered an illness which caused him
to go West as far as Wisconsin, where
he resided for a number of years. During
his stay there he became chief engineer
of a tug boat plying or Lake Michigan.
Because Of the Illness of his father he
returned to Madison and later married
Miss Ida Thompson, daughter of Abiel f.
Thompson. now of Lewiston. The couple
established their home on the Burns

years. Sometime after her death he took
up his residence in Massachusetts ana
there held the position of salesman in
was married the second time to Miss
Mary stuart futile Of S~kCwhegan il
Lynn, Mass, where he was then located
as a salesman. The couple later move
to Boston ana afterwards to Beechmont,
Mr.. Burns having been associated with
the Lumsden & Van Stone concern of
steam filters during a part of this time.
In December 1905 owing to illness in his
own family and that Of Mrs. Burns, the
couple returned to S~kowhegan and have
since resided in the futile homestead on
Court st.
Col. Burns was widely known in this
section because Of his prominence in Odd
Fellowship and has without doubt held a
position in this body which no other man
in Maine has ever occupied, that of Sow
ereign Grand Sentinel Of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of America. There are but
three offices higher to be possibly at
tanned In the order In this country. His
initial step into the mysteries Of the
lodge was taken during his residence in
Sturgeon Bay. Wisconsin, when he be-
came affiliated with Peninsula Lodge, of
which he was amember at the time of his

GRANDMOTHER knew
There Was Nothing So Good fol
Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard-plastcr
burned and blistered while it acted. You
can now get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the plas-
ter and without the blister.
Musterole does it. 1t is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil Of
mustard. 1t is scientifically prepared,
so that it works wonders, and yet
does not blister the tenderest skin. .
Just massage Musterole in with the
finger tips gently. See how quickly
it brings relief-how speedily the
pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma. neuralgia, headache. conges-
ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches Of back or joints,

he has been occupied as a carpenter and
in duties about his home. Col. Burns was
a most genial and companionable man
and will be screly missed in the town CT
