FRIEND IN NEED
A FRIEND indeed;

"A friend In need is a friend indeed"
ms never been more forcibly demon
Ftrated than In the case of Mrs. Louis
+ Marden of r.. +. u. No. 3. Bangor.
She gives n friend credit for one of the
greatest changes I'm her life. What
this friend did was little as far as fav-
orT arc concerned. but il meant much
"a her-it meant now health and hap
piness. Consequently she is grateful.
Her story is best told in her own
words II is similar to Tanlac stories
told throughout the State OF Maine ev-
cry day.

explained 'For some unaccounta bic
reason had severe headaches most Of

down condition all the time. and could
rot understand jdst why
Naturally my friends noticed the
change I'm me. and many Of them sug
eested various things. but the real
friend was the one who advised me to
try Tanlac. She insisted that Tanlac
would help me and although I had my
doubts determined 10 try IT.
"By the time had taken three
hotties of Tanlac | was much inn
proved and have been rapidly get

surprised at the results l received
from Tanlac and It gives me great
pleasure TO recommend it,

secured for the same near the railroad
and as to whether or not there was
available power. Mr. Burr stated that
the concern desired to locate in a town
where there were paper mills to save
the heavy cost Of a long freight haul.
He also said that should the concern
locate here plant would be erected

eratives. After considerable discussion
as to how the necessary power could
be supplied and as to available loca-
tions it was voted that the Board Of

A HUGE WATER
MELON TO BE CUT

There is persistent runior which, how
ever. has not been confirmed BY any au-
thoritative official either here or in Bcs-
ton that a huge melon may soon be cut
by the Peppereil Manufacturing company.
The story is that rather than face the
new federal revenue law which among
other things will probably include stiff
tax on the surplus of corporations, the
Pepperell will divide its surplus among it's
stockholders. Should this be done Sc me-

THREE IND. ACCI-
DENT DECISIONS

Chairman Eben F. Littlefield Of the
Maine Industrial Accident Commission.
Thursday rendered decisions in three
cases. those of Charles J. Henry. ap-
plicant VS.. the Sterns Lumber Co. of
Bangor and the Travellers Insurance
Co., insurer, Ivan Mitchell, applicant,
VS.. the Frank w. Hunt Co. of Island
Falls, employer, and the Travellers In
surance Co, insurer, and Louis God
bout. applicant, VS.. Allen E. Hammond
of Van Buren. employer, and the En-
ployers' Liability Assurance Corpora :
tion, insurer.
In the case of Henry against the
Sterns Lumber Co, the commissioner
states that taking into consideration
the testimony of DR.. William p. Nc
Nally, who attended the claimant at
the time of and following the injury.
the testimony of DR.. Mason who cx-
amined the claimant on Feb. 5. the fact
that the claimant was willing to settle
in full for a small payment in April
and the testimony of Mr.. Smith who
states that the claimant did apply for
work, he is satisfied that the claimant
is malingering and the prayer that
compensation be continued is dis
missed.
Chairman Littlefeld in the case of
Mitchell against the Frank w. Hunt
Company finds that the average week
ly wage at the time of the injury was
SIS, that the claimant was disabled
from April 18th to June 7th, 1917, and
the continued disability was due to in
jury to the back. The commissioner
does not consider that the attack Of
appendicitis was a result of injury to
the back. 1t is ordered that the re-
spondent pay a weekly compensation
of s7.2l to Ivan Mitchell for period of
FIVE and one-kaif weeks. and that
physicians bills not exceeding $40 in
amount for the first IA days following
April 18th, 1917, for treatment to the
injured back only, be paid.
In the case of Goodbout against AL
len E. Hammond. Chairman Littlefield
states that the average weekly wage
was $3.50 and it ordered and decreed
that the respondent pay . weekly COM
pensation of $s.49 for q period Of 80
weeks from April 27. 1917. and it is

also apparent. now that the situation has

The first clue came when the slcuth-

his son might have enlisted under a false

youth might have taken the name Of tho

learned that Lawrence Dawson. cightccr
