MAKING II PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels Of prepa
rations but some people continue to
accept "extracts" of cod liners think
ing they will get the benefits Of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An
s'emulsion" contains real cod Hpex oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
SCOTS Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod Iivey oil,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation Of alcohol and is en-
dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

BELFAST
Belfast Skipper Has Narrowing
Experience with Floating
Mines in Harbor at Lisbon,

Capt. J. o. Hayes of Belfast, has just
returned from what he considers the
most exciting trip of his life and that is
saying good deal for this fearless ship
per. Il was scared for the first time in
my life" he says, in speaking of his
thrilling experience in the harbor of
Lisbon. Portugal, Where he was all
tangled up in the floating mines with
which the harbor is lined.
Capt. Jerry left Philadelphia last fall
bound for Lisbon and made a record
trip in something like % days. although
he encountered some exceedingly rough
weather when few days out of Lisbon
which carried away his jib-boom and
riddled his sails and otherwise damaged
his craft, the schooner Rachel ". Stew
ems. owned by the Pendletons of New
York and Islesboro.
He came to anchor just outside the
mines and was visited by a tug which
offered to tow him in. The price asked
was $50 pounds which the State of
Maine captain thought a little eXhor-
bitant and he refused it, Later he got
a tow from a government cutter only to
find that he had foulcd a mine. He
found himself all tangled up in a mass
Of floating glass globes and began pull
ing them on board, until he had some
20 or 80 of them. He then found him
self alone on deck for his colored crew,
thinking that discretion the better part

the same position as the boy whom We
are told stood on the burning deck.

somewhat more dangerous position
ship off the stern Of the Stevens was
blown up in the meantime and some
one from a tug nearby yelled to him
that there was a mine directly under
his mi=zen mast. Having tied the mine
globes to a Delaying pin, he was or
dered to lower them away by the gov
eminent boat which carefully drew
them away and cut the wires. After
a time he finally made his way through
rows Of mines to his dock.

of sales that might have been made but

keeping besides the food supply. Dishes
that are broken, tins that are burned

also be recorded in this bill And l
think it would be a very good idea to
keep a separate bill of waste for your

the habit Of working when you work and

MADISON
To kennebec journal Readers.

Reason for reduction in the volume
.oi our county news service is made
plain TO our readers everywhere, by
the amount OF legislative reports. The
journal has condensed and deleted in
every department TO meet the demands
upon our space by legislative pro-
ccodinSS. In the days when the Legis-
laturc is not in session we hope to
catch up in a measure, but we beg
the indulgence of readers and cor
respondents for few weeks.

The SPEAKER: Members Of the
I House, it so happens that Mr.. Thomas
is present. 1t is not often that we
have a Speaker of the House who has
served two terms. Mr.. Thomas was
Speaker of the House of Representa-
. tives in the years 1875 and 1885, and
as we have just read the reply of Mr.
! Thomas to this joint order. am going
to ask him to stand up and say some
thing to this House if he sees fit.
(Applause.)
Mr.. THOMAS: Mr. Speaker and
Gentlemen of the HOUSE of Represen-
| tatives of Maine: 1t is indeed a great
! pleasure, as well as high honor, to
meet you here in the Hall of the House
Of Representatives, to look you in the
eye, and to be assured of what | knew
before that the State of Maine con-
tinues to send her best men to legislate
here in this Capitol building. 1t also
brings to mind freshest memories of
now more than two score years ago
when l had the privilege of taking
part in the Legislature of Maine, and
when | was striving with all my
might, as 1 know you gentlemen legis-
lators of today are striving, if possible
to do something for the good of our
grand State of Maine.
The subject of the colonization of
our wild lands with Industrious and
thrifty farmers, thus increasing our
rural and agricultural population upon
which the welfare and the prosperity
of the State of Maine so much de-,
ponds, is now again attracting the at
! tention of our citizens all over the
State. In any discussion of the future
colonization of Maine, it is well, | am
sure to take into consideration the
; founding of the colony in our State
nearly half century ago which has
proved a complete success. Nearly
fifty years ago a little band of resolute
men, with their wives and children,
sailed from the lofty north of Europe
across the stormy Atlantic, landed on
the shores of America, cut their way to
the back woods of our State, and there
founded the prosperous and success
full colony of new Sweden. It will be
my privilege, by your invitation, to adj
dress you this evening upon the cir
cumStances and causes which made
that colony possible. and which have
contributed to it's success. Such
causes and such circumstances it is
we'll that we take into contemplation
now when the future colonization of
Maine is one of the topics of the hour.
shall have the pleasure and honor of
meeting you again-Th hope all of YOU
this evening at eight o'clock. Come,
gentlemen and bring your friends with
you, and l will try to give you little
information and to entertain YOU and
not be tedious. shall have the
, pleasure Of addressing you this eve
ming and l hope you will al ocme and
hear me. (Applause.)
