What Causes Colds e?
Some of the Usual Reasons

Drafts, getting chilled, and being ex-
posed to the weather will not give you
cold if your organs are active and
healthy. But when your stomach is
clogged with food, your liver slug
gish, the bowels obstructed, or the
circulation poor, then you take cold
easily because the system is con-
gested. To be free from colds, keep
the stomach, liver, bowels and blood

READFIELD

The resignation of j. Warren Butmar
as manager of the Maranacook Farmers
Union of Readfeld is much regrette
by the members of the Union. That the
success of this fiourishng union is due
to the careful, painstaking management
of Mr.. Butman there can be no doubt, as
by his careful buying early before prices
began to advance the union has made a
good margin of profit and still sold goods
as low as the lowest.
The union is very fortunate in securing
the services of Linwood y. Luce. young
man of ability as Mr.. Butman's success !
so that the future success of the Mara =
nacook Farmers union is assured.

STATE HOUSE
Wiscasset Electric 1t. Co.
Must Give It's Patrons Light

The Public Utilities Commission has
handed down decision in the case of
Leon \. Gray and 10 others, residents
of Wiscasset who have lodged formal
complaint that the service of the Wis
cassct Electric Light Co. is not rea :
sonably adequate.
The Wiscasset Electric Light Co. is
an incorporated electrical company en-
gagged in the distribution of electric
current for lighting and power pur-
poses. 1t has no generating plant, its
current being purchased from the
Portland Power and Development Co.
Complanants offered testimony at
public hearing of Feb. l to show that
there had been and continued to be fire.
quent Interruptions of service due to
lack of current The respondent adj
mitted that this was true and that the
service being rendered its customers
was not a reasonably adequate one. Its
explanation was that it could not Sc
cure regular supply of electricity
from the generating company and had
no other source from which to procure
it. 1t was claimed by the respondent
and admitted by the compliments that
nc other ground for complaint existed.
Says the commission: while the
reason advanced by the respondent for
its failure to give reasonably adequate
service is based on fact it does not re-
lieve it of its duty to the pubic with
the means at hand. it must seek some
other means"
The commission states that the
stockholders of the Wiscasset Electric
Light Co. have interested the manage
ment of the Central Maine Power Co.
In this field and that the stock has
been sold to a corporation controlled
by the latter company and the trans
mission lines of the Central Maine
Power Co have been extended to
Wiscasset where it is proposed to de-
liver current to the distribution sys-
TEN of the respondent company.
ut does not appear that the present
management is not now doing all 1t
can to perfect the service; 1t will be
expected to continue to exercise all
possible expedition" says the COM
mission. and the Wiscasset Electric
Light Co. is ordered and directed to
furnish the public in the town of Wis
casset, "a reasonably constant and
adequate electrical service without re-
gard to the inability or other de-
of any source from which its
power is secured, on and after the
first day of March 1917, unless for good
cause shown an extension of time is
granted by this commission"

FouR-FoLD BENEFIT
From Two Grand Medicines-Hood's
SarsapariIa, Peptiron Pills.

You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more, for
medicines to be taken together, or alter
nately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medicines
are "incompatible"-do not agree when
closely mixed in takng-or that desired
results cannot be secured by one medi-
cine alone.
The most successful combination medi-
cine treatment that we know of is in
Hoods Sarsapari!a and Peptiron Pills
The former expels impurities from the
blood. creates an appetite and promotes
digestion and natural action of the kid
neys and liver, while Peptron Pills give
the powerful tonic-they literally put
iron into your blood'-that Just balances
the requirement OF perfect health.
Patients taking both report the benefit
is -fold-prompt, positive and perma-
nent. Sold by all DRUGGISTS
