Masons to Fight Saloons.

Any Mason in Missouri who signs Pc
tition for saloon license will be expelled
from that order if an amendment of the
constitution of the order is passed by the
grand lodge, which meets in St. Louis
Sept. 18th. The proposed amendment
was introduced at the meeting of the
Grand Lodge last year and action deferred
1t has been discussed in all of the local
lodges of Missouri and delegates have
been instructed how to vote or have gain
ed an idea of the feeling of their lodges
Members of the order are now prohibited
from engaging in the liquor business, and
persons engaged in that business are not
received to membership. The new amend
ment provides that any person who rec
ommends such person for membership
and any lodge receiving such a person
may be punished and such person be ex-
PEELED from membership. ~4he clause,
however which is causing discussion Is
one which provides: ''Nor shall any Free
mason recommend or sign any petition or
application for dram-shop license"

Bangor Physicians Enlisted.

The following Penobscot County phys
icians have recently enlisted, five of
whom are from Bangor.
DR.. Walter E. Whitney
DR.. Joseph F. Starrett
DR.. Louis M. Pastor
DR.. George B. Caulfield.
DR.. Harold H. Crane.
DR.. Calvin M. Thomas of Brewer
DR.. Joseph H. Murphy of Dexter
DR.. Harry w. johnson of Wytopitlock
1t is expected that they will be called
into service in the course of three or four
weeks and assigned to duty wherever
sent by the department.
Since the beginning of the war Bangor
has furnished 10 physicians, including DR..
Thomas of Brewer who is on the local
hospital staff. Portland has furnished 10
thus far. Names quota is about 200 and
less than half has thus far been enlisted.
1t is believed, however, that the need of
physicians and surgeons is becoming a
strong call to duty and the example of
the Bangor physicians will become gen.
eral
To the people who know these doctors
best, their action must bring home the
seriousness of the present situation.

OUR VAST SHIPPING PLAN.

The United States is endeavoring to
accomplish far greater feat in shipbuild-
ing than has been ever attempted by any
other country. German destruction of
merchant ships by submarine operations
is challenge to build more than can be
destroyed, if we can, and that challenge
is accepted. ''The decision in this world
war rests On the tonnage question:" says
Admiral Tirpitz. Not entirely; but the
tonnage question is one of the most i'm
portant with which our government has
to grapple We are going into battle
thousands Of miles away, and not unless
we have mighty merchant navy can we
IN the first place carry our soldiers there
and afterward furnish them and our allies
With the immense stores of things they
need The reconstructed shipping board
understands the task, and apparently
proposes to turn it into triumph.
Gen. Goethals had planned, shortly be-
fore his retirement from the management
of the emergency fleet corporation a
total addition of 6,210,000 tons to our
mercantile marine, a large part to be
ready by June, 1918, but completion not
to take place till six or twelve months
of shipping under construction in Ameri-
can yards for foreign owners. The COM
Wandering of the ships has since shown
that the tonnage is not far short of g.
900, O00 And now the shipping board
plans to extend the actual building to T.
963, 600 tons, making, with the comman-
deered vessels, a grand total of nearly
10, 900, 900 tons. 1t may be observed that
the increase will be largely due to the
erection of third governmental
fabricating yard, Gen. Goethals having
designed but two. If the board can let
us have even one-half the total by the
beginning of June, the British by that
time adding to their mercantile marine
about 3, 500, 900 tons, and the U-boats not
in the interval increasing their power of
destruction, the war will be decided so
far as its decision rests on the tonnage
question.-Boston Herald.

Germany Wants a New Chance.

While the Germans are clamoring fol
peace, to put an end to the terrible waste
and bloodshed, they are looking forward
to another war with England, as the ut
terances of many of their public men
show. That would be beautiful Ger
manic peace What Germany ought to
say is: "Give US rest. We are rather
played out Just now with series of ex-
ertions that we had not calculated on.
But if the fight could be called off now,
when it is going against us, and if we are
permitted to have time to recover our
selves and prepare for future victory,
you will see us few years hence going
in and licking the tar out OF England
After England we will attend to the case
of those immoral, uncultured and money
grabbing creatures, the Americans. Let
US have peace. Hartford Courant.

BANGOR MAN SAYS
HE IS FEELING
LIKE A NEW MAN
''Tanlac Is Responsible For This Change -
He Later Adds

''Tanlac Is Responsible For This Change"
He Later Adds
81 feel just like a new man, and | am
quite sure that Tanlac is responsible for
the change" declared Robert Rogers, of
7 Essex street, Bangor, as he began one
of the stories that have made Tanlac the
most popular medicine in the world.
This story is very much like many 9TH
ers that have been given by well known
Maine men and women who have been
helped by Tanlac, the Master Medicine.
Mr.. Rogers story is best told in his words:
II suffered from stomach trouble and
could not digest my food" Mr.. Rogers
began. "After eating l would always
have heavy feeling in my stomach and
my head would ache continually. My
nights were restless and would wake up
feeling worse than when | went to bed
the night before. l suffered with gas and
bloating and was forced to be very care
full as to what ate.
II saw in the Bangor papers where so
many people knew were telling wonder
full stories about Tanlac that decided to
try it.
81 have now taken six bottles of Tanlac
and can eat anything and am not troubl-
ed with indigestion any more. Tanlac
has done me so much good that feel just
like new man. That's the reason am
recommending Tanlac, for it certainly de-
serves it."
Tanlac, the new constructive tonic,
appetizer, invigorant and system purifier
gains endorsements like this every day
from Maine men and woman.
Tanlac is being specially introduced in
Belfast at the City Drug Store Tanlac
agents in nearby towns are: A. R. Pilley,
Brooks; Ames Co., Stockton Springs; L.
c. Dow & Co., Prospect.

A Good Move.

Creation of an Allied purchasing COM
mission, comprising three American Of
ficials, to handle all British, French and
Russian Government purchases in the
United States has been announced by
Secretary McAdoo. All the other Allies,
the announcement SAID, are expected to
follow the example of Great Britain.
France and Russia and put their pur-
chases into the commissions hands. The
members of the commission are Bernard
M. Baruch, Robert S. Lovett and Robert
S. Brookings, all members of the War In
dustries Board. Mr.. Baruch for some
time has acted as the official purchasing
agent of the Allies. Establishment of
the commission is expected to bring the
resources of the United States into more
effective use, and at the same time to
prevent speculation in war supplies of all
kinds.

Havana's Orphans.

A whole series of romances could be
written round the strange little opening
in the wall below the IRON barred window
through which infants enter Havana's
great orphan asylum at La Benefcencia,
says writer in the SeptemberWide World
Magazine. Parents guardians, and others
desirious of getting rid of infants place
them within the box-like compartment,
which is really stile. They then give
the stile turn, which has the effect of
ringing bell in the building, announcing
to the Sister on duty the advent of an
other little founding. The identity of
the person who brings the child is never
known, and every infant deserted in this
way is nourished and cared for by the
kindly Sisters. Some of Havana's most
prosperous citizens were brought up in
this Institution. One is not surprised,
therefore, to learn that the former found
lings contribute generously to the upkeep
of the hospital that succored them when
they were helpless,
The iron ore mined in the United States
in 1916 reached a total of rs, 167, 672 gross
tons, the greatest annual output ever
made. The shipments from the mines in
1916 were 1870, 553 gross tons, valued at
S181, 902, PIT. The quantity mined in 1916
was more than 10000 tons greater
than that mined in 1915 The increases
in quantity and in value of iron ore ship
ped in 1916 amounted to about 40 and 80
per cent, respectively. The average value
per ton at the mines in 1916 was 81. "a, as
against 81. 83 in 1915. These figures,
which were compiled under the direction
of E. F. Burchard, of the United States

terror, include for 1916 only iron ore con-
tanning less than per cent of manganese.
