WAR SUMMARY.

During the last week there has been a

| The Islesboro Inn closed its season last
! Saturday after very successful summer,
! the first in the new house. Notwlth-
standing the many drawbacks which
threatened the season on the New Eng
land coast, Islesboro has had many visit
ors and the Inn a large booking. The
new house has many more attractions
than the old which was burned two years
ago this month and is up-to-date in every
particular. David H. Smith, the genial
manager, is we'll satisfied with the past
season and looks for a larger business
next wear if war conditions are improved.
The first regular meeting of the Boy
Scouts after the long summer vacation
took place at the city municipal court
room Thursday evening at 7 o'clock At
that meeting some plans were made for
the winter program and the good times
that the boys had last winter were re-
peated with interest. 1t is expected that
there will be larger number of Scouts
this winter than last and that there will
be some very interesting programs, in
which the support of every citizen is re-
quested. There should be more interest
on the part of the residents of the city in
the aid of the Boy Scout movement.
Thus far Orrin j. Dickey, the Scoutmas~
ter, has carried on the program single
handed and this season he requests all in
terested in boys, particularly fathers and
mothers, to take an active interest in this
good work.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
