That performance of the Lewiston
Board of Registration looks dirty.
1t looks like petty childish tyranny.
1t is the kind of job that makes one
want to vote against any party that
will stand for it.
We would like to see the Demo-
cratic party of Lewiston beaten and
beaten again till they get that con-
temptible brand of politics beaten
out Of them.
Contrast that performance with the
efforts that all enterprising cities

ACID STOMACH
CAUSES MUCH
SUFFERING
Well-known Hartford Man
Tells How He Found a Rem
edy After Fours Years
of Stomach Trouble

Acid stomach with it's disagreeable
symptoms Of pain after eating and
sour risings in the throat is COM
mon trouble and may be caused by
irregular eating or by defective nerve
force. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
an alkaline tonic and the first effect
usually noted is an Improvement in
the appetite and the ability to eat and
digest without discomfort food that
formerly caused the most acute dis
tress.
Mr.. l.. w. Bowen, Of No. 81 Albany
avenue, Hartford, Conn. attributes
his stomach trouble to hurried eating
and lack of exercise. The manner IN
which he found relief will interest
others who suffer as he did.
II had indigestion for four years.
says Mr.. Bowen. land although l was
treated by different physicians and
took a number Of preparations none
Of them seemed to help me to any
extent until tried DR.. Williams Pink
| Pills. My trouble was an acid condi-
ton of the stomach. No matter how
careful l was in the selection OF my
food | would have a sour stomach.
This condition grew worse and l had
severe pains and cramps that would
nearly double me up. AT times these
pains were SO severe l would have to
stop work and they would leave me
in a profuse pcrspiration. The at
tacks were most frequent at night
| and would break my rest. l also suf-
fered from belching and would vomit
sour risings.
II heard Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
| from friend who had received bene-
| fit from their use in a case Of rheu-
matism and who advised me to try
| them. l could see that the pills were
helping me before l had finished the
second box and took four boxes al
| together
Or. Williams Pink Pills certainly
I corrected my stomach trouble and |
! can eat almost anything my appetite
| desires without any distress and
can heartily recommend the remedy
! to any sufferer from Indigestion"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, the reme-
dy that MIR. Bowen recommends so
I highly, are y tonic for the blood and
| nerves. They began at once to build
up the system weakened by excess or
overwork. The rich, red blood soon
begins to show in cheeks and lips. the
step is quicker. the eyes brighter and
tho good effect is felt in every organ
of the body.

South Portland from Waldoboro to
work in a shipyard, acted and talked
so strangely that the police were no

The damaged draw on the Portland
| bridge will be taken off by setting
two lighters at low tide on either side
of the settled pier and blocking up so
that the rising tide will lift the draw
clear of its supports. and then it can
| be f1oated away. All efforts to raise
it in any other way have been in vain
and it is necessary to get this draw
out of the way before repairs can be
made on the pier and also to enable
vessels to pass through. Several coal
pockets and the gas light plant are
above the bridge, and there arc two
gasoline and oil plants up that way
also There is small prospects Of res
toration Of the bridge so far as traffic
is concerned for months
