Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stomach,
fermentation of food, distress after eat
ing and indigestion, and seek relief in
large chunks of artificial digestors, are
killing their stomachs by inaction just as
surely as the victim of morphine is dead
ening and injuring beyond repair every
nerve in his body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is good prescrip-
ton that will build up his stomach, put
strength, energy and elasticity into it and
make it sturdy enough to digest he arty
meal without artificial aid.
The best prescription for INDIGESTION
ever written is sold by A. A. Howes &
Co. and is rigidly guaranteed to build up
the stomach and cure Indigestion, or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na,
and is sold in small tablet form in large
boxes, for only few cents. Remember
the name, Mi-o-na stomach tablets. They
never fail,

shipbuilding Will Go On.

That u. are to have an adequate mer-
chant marine will appear from the fol-
lowing:
Shipbuilders in American yards who
NAV fear that their efforts to provide an
emergency fleet are limited by the neces-
stiles of war were assured that there
would be plenty of work for them for
wears to come in statements made to
them bv Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board and Director General Schwab
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Everv efficient yard will continue to
have ali the work it can do after the war
ends. Mr.. Hurley said in his statement,
while Mr.. Schwab warned shipworkers
that if Germany were not sincere in it's
neace overtures it could want nothing
better than slackening effort by Ameri-
can Shipbuilders.
GOO TONS of merchant Ships" said Mr..
Schwab in his statement. To-day we
have built only about 100000 tons and
we will not have completed our present
program until six times more work has
been done"
Mr.. Hurley pointed out that the end
inc of the war could not bring an ending
to the worlds need for ships, "nor pre-
vent us from carrying out our program
to successful conclusion"
He declared that the shipping board
would continue to use all the facilities of
shipbuiIdina that means OF economy
would permit.
81 can say with frankness," said Mr..
Hurley, chat our shipyards will be kept
going to their capacity and they must
not let I'D. The inefficient plants which
have been permitted to operate because
of the war emergency and the immediate
need of ships, will, as matter of bust
ness expediency, drop out when the
emergency is removed. Efficient yards
will be encouraged, and supported because
we can depend upon them to carry out
their promises and produce ships econom-
ically. The work inefficient yards can
not do will fall to other plants. We will
look to the west coast to continue the
pace it has maintained and to the yards
of the east and south and in the Great
Lakes region to increase their output.
every competent ship worker, every
technical expert and every trained ex-
ecutive in the yards owes it to the nation
to remain at his post where his services
will count most until our ship construc-
ton program is completed. There is no
ground for uneasness of either labor or
capital now efficiently employed in pro-
ducing ships. For many years to come
ships, their construction and operation,
are to be of absorbing national interest"

TRUTH ABOUT COAL.

The statement of the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator that more coal has been mined
this year than usual and that he does not
anticipate as much trouble this winter as
last bears more accurately on soft (bitu-
minous) than upon hard (anthracite) coal,
and upon other localities than Maine. If
any one is inclined to be optimistic as to
there being an abundance of hard coal of
the ordinary stove and nut sizes in this
State, he only needs Gf he be not hoard
err to look at his own coal bin and ask
his dealer to fill it up. There are numer-
Gus instances coming to the attention of
the Maine Fuel Administration of people
who placed orders last July with their
dealers who up to date have not received
a single pound of coal.

DOUGLAS, March 15.-Gloom per vades the shorthand and typewriting class of this place today on account of the loss of the teacher, Joseph T. MeMurtry of Juneau, who for the past several months, has been in structing a class here in the gentle accomplishments mentioned. MT. Me Murtry announced to his class last night that he is to leave soon for Seattle and Washington City, having been appointed to government posi- tion at the latter place. When his class was started here last fall it numbered over 30 but, as Service puts it, "Only the fit survive" and the result was that the class dwin- died down to sixteen members, all of them women and girls and all Of whom have made excellent progress in their studies. While it was with moist-laden eyes that the class bid farewell and bon voyage to theiI teacher last night, efforts will be made to secure another in order that the studies may be continued.

It was very exciting game from start tC finish-as much so to the rooters as to the players themselves. Gabrie Paul of the Tfeadwell team, made high score, 197, and high average 1742s. Perovich, of the Douglas team, was next high with 1S1. The players were:
