OBITUARY
ErIzABErH A. JErLrsoS.

The older residents OF Ellsworth heard
with regret Sunday morning OF the pass
ing away of Miss Eliza beth A. Jellison in
her eighty-eigbth year.
Miss Jellison was born in Ellsworth,
the daughter OF Jesse and Eliza Adams
JelIison. LET; an orphan at an early age,
she MADE her home for ten years with her
uncle and aunt, the late MIR. and Mrs.
Elisha stockbridge and after few years
in Belfast, returned to her native town
to live with her brother, the late Albert
t Jeuison. Tue desth OF Miss Jellison
removes a member of the earliest and
| best known Ellsworth families, her
psternal grandfather being Major John
Jellison, while on her mothers side she
| was descended from Capt. Daniel Adams
and Col. Meltiah Jordan.
Miss Jellison was a charter member OF
the First Unitarian society, and, in the
truest and deepest sense, it may be said OF
her hat she enjoyed her religion. A con-
slant attendant at religious services, an
active mem Der of the Womsn's Alliance,
the Unitarian reading club and the Shake
speare class, her name will always be
written large in the memories OF the
church But 1t was in the Sunday school,
where her love for children found express
sion in ministering to a class of little
girls, that her influence was most Fit,
and to-day, in their maturity, those
pupils think tenderly OF the skiliful
fingers arranging the flowers she loved
for Sunday school festivals ana deeorat-
ing the Christmas tree for their pleasure.
In the last years, when falling strength
prevented social activities, Miss Jellison
found her greatest pleasure in making her
home center of hospitality for the
friends, both young and old, to whom she
was always loyal, and in the serene Gu
joyment OF her books her plants and her
dainty needle work she was privileged to
linger on the borderlaud between the
Seen and the Unseen.

Wheat Not Dannernus

Among the most intelligent people
everywhere the mere name Of wlldea,
is sufficient to suggest the idea o,
something to fear. We know Of A
literary lady who, wanting exceeding
quiet. thought to dwell in a remote
mountain section for time. but hear
ing by chance that O wildcat had been
seen in the region she gave over the
idea because in fear Of possible attack
should she go out OF doors. Now, had
she RETAINED from acquiring the prop
erty because whippoorwill had been
heard nearby. she would have been
just about as reasonable. A wildcat
or puma would no more think Of at
lacking a human being, especially in
summer. than would a fox or an opos-

Europe's Worst Famine.

The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third of the area Of the empire In
Europe and affected more or less d.
rectly 100000 people. while 100000
were reduced to starvation. Weeds,
the bark OF trees and bitter bread
made from acorns. constituted the chief
diet for the destitute. This was the
most widespread and most severe
famine which has befallen a European
nation In modern times.

this method. Charles l.. Shand OF
Bar Harbor has been appointed chair
man of the production branch, aud is
already busy with plans for system
attic work among the farmers of the
county in the spring. Among matters
now under consideration is the estab-
hshment of at least two grist mills in
Hancock county, or possibly a port
able mill that can he operated for a
while in one section and then moved
to another. II stationary mills are
established, one will undoubtedly be
at Ellsworth. At ali events, provi-
sion will be made for all farmers who
plant wheat to have it milled at some
easily accessible point. Last year a
similar promise was made, but not
realized. II Chairman Shand makes
the promise of milling opportunities
this year, it is safe bet that be will
make good.

Look back at your childhood DAYS.
Remember the "dose' mother insisted

you hated them, how you fought against
them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physie simply don't realize what they
do. The children g revolt is well,founi-
ed. Their tender little ''insides' are
injured by them.

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love TO take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for bottle
of California Syrup of Figs
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware of eoun-
terfeits sold here. See that it is made
by California Fig Syrup Company. "
