Constipation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons
suffering from indigestion are oft
en- troubled with constipation.
Mrs. Robert Allison, Nation. ILL.,,
writes that when she first moved
to Nation she was great suf-
ferer from indigestion and consti-
patton. Food distressed her and
there was feeling like a heavy
weight pressing on her stomach
and chest. She did not rest well
at night, and felt worn out good
part of the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain s Tablets corrected
this trouble so that she has since
felt like a different person.

QUEBEC RIOTS.

The smoldering hostility to
consumption throughout French
Canada burst into flame in the
city of Quebec, which has been
indulging in a series Of riots.
For three days, the Montreal
Star tells us, the mob did as it
pleased until the Mayor. finally
reused, read the Riot Act and
called out the militia. The Prime
Minister, Sir Robert Borden, more
than suggested the mayors SYM
, pathy with the rioters when he
sent this scathing telegram,
quoted by the Ottawa Citizen:
The press accounts of yester-
days disturbance in your city,
| during which Federal officers
were INSTRUCTED in their duty and
seriously assaulted, indicate that
the attitude Of the municipal au-
thorltles was passive, and that no
real effort was made by the civic
authorities to prevent the assault
or put down the disturbances. [
feel it my duty respectfully to re-
quest from you, as chief magis-
trate of the city, an account by
telegraph Of what took place"
According to the Montreal Star,
over 100000 worth Of property
was destroyed. the annex to the
Auditorium Theater-where the
CONSUMPTION authorities had their
records-was burned. and two
newspaper offices were raided and
their plants damaged-one Eng
lish paper, The Chronicle, and one
French, L'Evenement. A Mon
treal dispatch tells us what lies
at the root Of the matter:
"There is large section Of the
population Of Quebec City that is
not only hostile to CONSUMPTION,
but also is antagonistic to French
Canada taking any part in the
war. These DIRECTORS have re-
sorted to all sorts Of trickery in
order to evade CONSUMPTION. 1t is
known that the Military Service
Act has not been operated in
Quebec City, or anywhere else in
Quebec Province, not excepting
Montreal, with the same rigor
that has attended its enforcement
throughout Ontario and the West.
The result Of this is that thou
sands of young men liable for
service throughout Ontario and
the prairie provinces are already
in khaki, while the quota from
Quebec Province has not yet
reached one-tenth of what it
ought to be-

SERGEANT MESTAYER AC-
CLDENTALLY SHOT.

The entire community was dis
tressed to learn of the serious
and painful accident which be-
fell Sergeant Otto Mestayer at
Camp Beauregard last Monday
afternoon. In company with
Sergeant 3. K. Sims, Jr., and a
couple of girl friends. Sergeant
Mestayer was standing on the
camp parade ground at about six
o'clock. when he suddenly top
pied over and would have fallen
had not Sergeant Sims caught
him. An examination disclosed
the fact that he had been shot,
the bullet striking him in the
neck, in front and to one side,
and going completely through.
He was Immediately conveyed to
the hospital, and reports from mis-
bedside last evening were to the
effect that. while seriously
wounded, he is doing as well as
could be expected and is regarded
as practically out Of danger. A
searching investigation failed to
disclose who had fired the shot !
that injured Sergeant Mestayer.
No sound indicating the discharge |
of rifle was heard by the party |
on the parade ground, and it is
said there was no target practice
:yoing on at the time. Sergeant
Mestayer was recently promoted

STATE AND FED
ERAL AID NOTES

Several interesting matters concern-
ing the operation Of the state and fed
eral aid for dependents of soldiers have
recently come up at the State House.
Chairman Walter S. Russell the Bath
overseers of the poor was recently at
the Capitol in relation to two cases
from that city.
One was regarding aid for the wives
of the regular army men stationed at
Fort Baldwin, at the mouth Of the KEN
nebec. These soldiers come from all
sections of the country and have
brought their wives or have married
girls from this section. Chairman Rus
sell believes that these soldiers retain
their residences in the places from which
they came and that those places should
be holden for the State aid. not the
State of Maine.
Some of these soldiers wives are CALI

LIBERTY DAY GEL
EBRATION, MAINE

Let the schools of Maine join with
the nation in the celebration Of Lib
erty day." saws DIR. Augustus o.
Thomas. the State superintendent Of
public schools. in a communication
sent out Saturday, to the various su-
perintendents and principals Of
Maine, which in part says:
The treasury department at Wash
ington has made it custom 10 Sc
lect the second Friday Of our Liberty
loan drives as Liberty day. For the
Fourth Liberty loan they nave
adopted the plan suggested by the
United States Bureau of Education
to designate Oct. II the anniversary
of the discovery of America as LID
erty day.
"The treasury department in Co
operation with the United States Bu-
roam of Education are requesting ev-
erv school district in the United
states. city, town and countryside, to
arrange for the celebration of the
discovery Of America with an .appro-
pirate Harvest festival. ~
1.-THE Federal Bureau of Education
at the request Of the treasury de-
department has prepared suggestions
for Harvest Home festival celebra :
ton and has the facilities for mailing
them to almost every one Of the 300
600 schools of the nation.
1T is hoped by those who are pro
mitigating the idea Of the
Harvest Home festival that the ma
tion-wide celebration will stir such
enthusiasm over Americas mission
in the world as to enable each com
munity to reach it's quote Of the
Liberty loan on that day. Here is an
opportunity for the schools Of our
State not only to teach lessons of
patriotism but to render a great SER
vice by helping to raise the local
quota Of the Liberty loan. to an
hounce achievement and to reicics
over it.
