War time with its excitement and

There is no tonic for the nerves that

themselves on some higher ground
they know Of But undoubtedly If
they were made of the right stun to
work ON that higher ground, provided
they We're released from all those en-
gagcments, they would now at once
fulfil the superior engagement and
neglect all the rest as naturally as
they breathe They would never be
caught saying that they had no time
for this when the dulleSt msl knows
that this is all that he has time for.

BIG LUMBER DEAL
Martin A. Brown. Manager Of New
Consolidation.


Ma,tn A. Brown OF Wilmington,
hut whose business address is at 13l
State street, Boston, and his partners
are principals in one Of the biggest
lumber deals ever made in New Eng
land The Commercial Bulletin tells
the story as follows:
A colossal deal in which the lumber
trade cannot fail to be interested was
consummated here last Wednesday.
II involved among other things a saw
mill, a sulphite mill, a ground wood
mill and a paper mill with an output
of so tons a day This in itself is a
transaction of sufficient magnitude TO
attract a good deal Of attention at
any time. but the story is not yet half
told Included in the deal was the
whole village of Lincoln, \. H., con
sisting of 125 dwelling houses, SEVER
al stores. a large hotel, two or three
churches, a high school and other
buildings and 20 miles OF the best log
ging railroad in New England. In
all, the land embraced aggregated 10,
GEO acres and it is said that the price
paid was about S3,O00000. The
Henry Paper Company were the sell
ers and the buyers were the Parker
Young Company newly Incorporated
under the laws of Maine with IL. p.

and assistant treasurer. Martin A.

ager, and T. X. Woodwork of Con
cord, n. H., clerk. The Parker
Young Company also owns the Bebee
River mill. the largest double band
sawmill in New England, about 10
miles from the Henry plants, but con-
nected by the Boston & Maine railroad
The total capital invested in this new
company is not less than $70O0,000.
The close connection between the
mills ensures that there viii be no
waste of any lumber.
Mr. MoultCn, OF course, requires no
introduction TO any one in the bust
ness world. Those who do not know
him personally know his enyiable
reputation That Martin A. Brown
is general manager Of the Parker
Young Company will be noted with
attention by all the lumbermen who
will draw differences about the sue
cess of the new enterprise. 1t is
hardly necessary to say what they
viii be. When about ten years ago
Mir Brown came TO Boston and open
ed the office of the Woodstock Lum-
Der Company he was considered simp
ly a bright young man with an engag
ing manner that ought to attract Gus
toners. 1t soon became evident that
he was very much more than this
and his competitors began to sit up
and take notice whenever his name
was mentioned in connection with a
deal Some of them commenced to
think that he was a man too much
given to doing things TO render
them quite happy and it is not diff
cult to believe that they sull feel
that way To-day of course he is
known to all men everywhere who
have any dealings with those who
raw or sell lumber in New England.
Ills ability, at first grudgingly admit
ted, but now frankly recognized his
energy, and his al embrac-
ing knowledge of his business speaks
we'll fer q brilliant career for this
new gigantic undertaking

GIRLS HAVE PRETTY FACE
AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

An Atlanta man makes new dis
covery that makes an old face look
years younger. If your skin is dark,
brown, or covered with freckles or
blemishes, just use little Cocotone

few days use will improve your looks
100 per cent. The wornout skin
comes off evenly, leaving no evil
dence of the treatment, the new
healthy underskin appearing as q
lovely new complexion.
Just ask your druggist for an
ounce of Cocotone Skin Whitener,
and if he will not supply you send
25 cents to The Cocotone Co., Allan
ta, Ga, and they will send you box
by return mail.
If your hair is hard to comb, is

few days. Mail orders filled, rs for
