FARM ITEMS.

A Houlton correspondent says that
some GO, 600 tons of fertilizer have been
bought for use in Aroostook county this
year. The estimated acreage of Aroos-
to0k's potatoes this year is about GO, 600,
while last year it was something over 40, =
600. The total shipments of potatoes
from northern Maine the past season
have been about II, 3l7 900 bushels, which
have brought approximately $28, 600, 900
or an average of Sit per bushel. Of
this amount about 81 per cent was fur
nished by Aroostook county, the remain
ing three per cent by the rest of northern
Maine outside of Aroostook county. Of
this amount shipped from northern Maine
about 3, 600, 600 were sent by the Canadian
Pacific and Aroostook Valley railroads,
the remaining 10, 1873, 900 by the Bangor &
Aroostook. These are interesting figures
meaning great deal. Study them lit
tie and see how important factor north
ern Maine is in producing food and seed
for New England and other regions.
E. A. Bailey has planted this year II
acres of corn on his large farm at Win
throp Center. Mr.. Bailey's son, Charles
NJ Bailey, Jr., has II acres of beans
which have made a splendid growth
The beans are planted on land not far
distant from the Narrows pond and have
been given careful cultivation.
1t is said that the milk supply from
New England this season breaks all rec
ords During the month of June alone,
all records were broken at the D. Whit
ing Creamery Co., and so great was the
supply that the company was unable to
unload the cars as fast as they arrived
and large proportion of the cream was
made into butter to take care of the sur
plus. Recently some 5000 gallons of
skim milk was sold in the city for feed
ing purposes owing to the local agent
being unable to obtain enough cans to
carry it to Boston. In Waldo county the
supply has been enormous and the Bel
fast branch has had to hustle to take care
of the amount shipped there daily.-Ken-

TURNED THE TABLES.

Two Incidents In the Careers Of an
American and a Belgian.
More than ten years before Belgian
relief was ever thought Of a young
American mining engineer who was in
charge Of important mining properties
In China received a visit early one
morning from burly Belgian. The
Belgian brusquely informed the young
American that he had come to take
charge Of the properties. The Ameri-
can had received no official notice Of
the change in management, and he did
CLAN, but he quietly accepted his new
status. He explained to the Belgian
that two heads often are better than
one and offered to help manage the
properties Jointly. The Belgian ac-
'cepted
The two men worked together for
about six months. Then one day the
burly Belgian lost his temper and with
it his more experienced fellow mana
ger, for the young American promptly
resigned his position and left the en-
ploy of the company.
The name of the young American
was Herbert Clark Hoover.
Now observe how Nemesis pursues
proud mortals! In October, 1914, this
same Belgian, at the suggestion Of the
American ambassador in London,
called on an American who, Mr.. Page
said, was the logical man to head the
work Of relieving starving Belgium.
The American was Herbert G. Hoover.

South Orrington Man Says She and New
TanIac Did Wonders for Him.

Here is Maine man who is very glad
that he took his wife's advice, for it has
been the means of his getting back on the
road to health, and he says he is there to
stay. Quite naturally, he gives his wife
credit for suggesting the way out, and he
gives Tanlac, the new Master Medicine,
Just as much for continuing the work
This Maine man is c. M. Freeman of r.
F. D. No. 1. South Orrington. His story
will be of intense interest to many run
down men and women here.
Il suffered from stomach trouble and
dizziness" Mr.. Freeman stated. my
food caused me so much distress with
gas and bloating that was almost afraid
to eat.
81 had tried many remedies but got
very little result from any of them. My
wife had been reading the Tanlac stories
in the papers every day and she kept in
sisting that try Tanlac. | am certainly
glad that took her advice.
Before had finished the first bottle l
began to notice good results and kept
right on improving. Tanlac certainly
drove all the stomach trouble away and l
am now able to eat regularly again and to
enjoy my meals. No more gas or sour
stomach and my appetite is wonderful. 1t
| gives me great pleasure to recommend
Tanlac on the strength of what it did for
me-"
Tanlac is the only medicine on the mar
ket that receives endorsements like the
above. Mr. Freeman statement is SIM
liar to those made by well-known Maine
men and women every day about Tanlac,
the new reconstructive tonic, appetizer,
invigorant and system purifier.
Tanlac is being specially introduced in
Belfast at the City Drug Store. Tanlao

All Faced the Flag.

Justice Pendleton Of the New York
supreme court was examining appl-
cants for citizenship recently when a
band in the park began playing 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" 1t was writ
ten by Francis Scott Key, Justice Pen
dleton's grandfather. The justice turn
ed his head toward the window, and
the hubbub In the court ceased. Then
the justice rose to his feet, and the
men who were seeking the right to
take the flag as their own rose with
him. Everybody faced the flag that
was draped on the courtroom wall
Not a soul moved until the music
ceased. Then the justice bowed and
resumed his seat, and the work OF
making citizens went on again.

the HUMAN SKIN.
My White Races Invariably DE Out
Quickly In the Tropics.

Quickly In the IroPscss
One reason--and q most important
one-why white races are unable to
,olonize the tropics, dying out inevita-
bly, In a generation or two, Is that they
have not enough sweat glands. The
sweat glands are the refrigerating ap-
paratus Of the body. They draw water
from the blood and pour 1t out upon
the surface Of the skin, where Its evap-
grafton keeps the temperature of the
body down. That is why we make a
person with a fever perspire profusely
it lowers the temperature. In draw
ing off the water the sweat glands
draw Off also many impurities from
the blood, but their most important
function is the regulation or the tenn
perature Of the blood.
Scientific investigation shows that
for every square centimeter OF the skin
area on the fingers white Americans
have 55S sweat glands. American ne
groes have 597, Filipinos 653, Moros
8S4, adult Negritos 100, Hindus 1888 and
Negrito youths and children $50.
As all the sweat glands are fully
formed at birth and their number re-
mains the same throughout life, the
greater number found among the Ne
CRITIC youths is no doubt due to cor
responding difference in size Of indi-
vtduals. AS the body grows the skin
area increases and the glands become
more dispersed.
1t is evideN that 100 sweat glands
will pour out nearly q per cent more
perspiration than will 55S. Therefore
there will be p per cent more evapora-
ton, and so the Negrito is compare
lively comfortable in Il tropical heat
that the white man finds almost un-
beara ble.-New York World.

An old and curious key and lock are
attached to the door Of Temple church
In Fleet street, London. The key weighs
seven pounds, is eighteen inches long,
and, unlike other keys, it was not made

was made for it. Both key and lock
have been in use since the crusades,
