Editorial Comment
A Word to Government Officials.
IeWiston Joucnal)


You are asking the public to con-
serve paper. You are the most oe-
termined MASTERS in the world. NOT
a day passes that the public is not
compelled to dump in the waste
basket enough paper to run the State
OF Maine a week. News services are
multiplied. in duplicate, in tr!plicate
in excess of possible use and clicks
and scriveners are employed manu-
featuring stuff, not one tenth of one
per cent Of which ever sees the type
in the daily newspaper.
Cut it out. Advertise one-half
what you waste and the public will
be informed and the paper situation
will be saved.
At this moment on our table is the
afternoon mail.
1t includes four specalities-all of
which had also come, previously by
this mornings mail. They weigh six
ounces on our paper weight scale. 1t
cosby the same rate that the pub
lie has to pay they would have cost
9 cents for postage. The pape.' stock
is of the finest. in most cases. A
half a pound of such paper is wort h
six or seven cents. 1t has cost at
least six cents to prepare the lott.
e. print or typewrite. Here we have
a quarter of a dollar wasted Tween
ty-f1ve hundred newspapers in
America may be five thousand Of
them, must have gotten this stuff.
Here is a waste Of over five hundred
dollars at small estimate. Multiply
this by the frequency OF the TAFT and
YOU have colossal waste going on
day by day unrebuked
1t makes the Businessman sick.
Cut it out. Save, Notify the pub
lie by advertising, Do away with
George Creers fifth wheel the
coach job Do business right.

of the fast clipper ships and now to
be converted into a four masted
barkentine, is to be rugged by Harry
Haverside, was announced recently
by the Rolph Navigation and Coal
Co. Haverside has done considerable
work of this character since wind
TANNER again became popular and is
taking great pride III creating a
thing of beauty out of the former
barge. After the vessel mas been rem

COLD BROUGHT
ON RHEUMATISM

Pain is the symptom Of rheumatism
that every victim recognizes but the
physician appreciates that thin blood
is marked characteristic of the dis
ease. Trying to cure rheumatism
while the blood remains thin and weak
is an almost impossible task because
there is nothing to build on.
Mr.. Harry l.. Seaver of GO Union
street, Lynn, Mass, carpenter, was
subject to rheumatic attacks, and his
experience will interest others who
suffer in that way. Mr.. Seaver says:
Il had rheumatism off and on for
twenty years. My work at one time
kept me out in all kinds of weather,
and dampneSS and exposure caused
my affection. had dull aching pains
in the left shoulder and in the right
knee. They were so severe at times
that they made it impossible for me to
rest at night. Isuffered with headache,
had dizzy spells and was nervous. My
stomach was out of order. / learned
of a person who had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills as a treatment for rheuma.
tism, and this decided me to try
them. They helped me and relieved
me Of pain. They have never failed in
my case and 1 have recommended
them to many Others"
In no disease does the blood show
more altering and thinning than in
rheumatism. No permanent relief is
possible until the blood is restored and
the rheumatic poisons are cast out.
You can get DR.. Williams Pink Pills
at the nearest drug store wherever you
may live, or they will be sent by mail,
postpaid, upon receipt Of price, fifty
cents per box, six boxes for two dol.

New York Cotton

New York, July 20.-There ap- peared to be more southern selling orders in the cotton market here to- day after opening steary at unchang ed prices to an advance of 10 points, prices broke quite sharply. There was talk of showers in Texas, while show CTS of rain reported elsewhere in the belt were considered favorable for plant growth, and the declines report ed in the southwestern spot markets late yesterday, probably had some in- fluence on sentiment. Wall Street was an active seller on the breaw of stop orders were uncovered, sending October off to 25.02, or about Al to 45 points net lower.
 Nervousness was probably increas- ed by possibility that the sinking of the San Diego had been the work of submarine and confusing reports from Washington as to price fixing proposals. There was a good deal of covering on the decline, however, and prices rallied several points from the lowest before the end of the first hour.
 Trading was less active later in the morning with prices steadier on the dry western belt forecast and cover ing. October rallied from 25.O2 and closed at 25.25 with the general list closing steady at net loss of to 22 points.
