WORDS FROM HOME
Statements That May BE Investigated.
Testimony of Belfast Citizens.

When a Belfast citizen comes to the
front, telling his friends and neighbors of
his experience. you can rely on his sin
certify. The statements of people resid-
ing in far away places do not command
your confidence. Home endorsement is
the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. Investi-
cation proves it true. Below is a state
ment of Belfast resident. No stronger
proof OF merit can be had
Guy A. Gray, proprietor of barber shop,
so Union Street, Belfast, says: 81 suffer-
ed from kidney trouble for about four
years and tried most everything to get
relief, but nothing did me a particle of
good until used Doan's Kidney Pills, Ipro-
cured from the Old Corner Drug Store.
There was deep seated pain in my back
across my kidneys and l was laid up
with this trouble for months at time.
my kidneys were in bad shape and the
kidney secretions were too frequent in
passage, off color and contained sedi-
ment. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me re-
lief in two weeks and l was eventually
cured of all symptoms of kidney trouble.
l am now sound and WELL"
Price 60c. at all dealers Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Gray
had. Foster-M ilburn Company, Mfgrs.,

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an intlamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is intlamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an intlamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

GERMANY ON THE lob,

English contractors experienced shock
the other day when a German firm under
bid them on contract for constitutional
engineering in Holland. A report from
London says: "The business which
amounts in the aggregate to very large
sum, has been accepted by the German
firm at about $40 (S10O per ton less than
the figure rendered by leading British
company. The price quoted in the Ger
man tender for the fabricated construc-
tional work to be supplied is actually be-
low the price quoted for the raw material
as delivered by the rolling mills in this
country. How the German firm was able
to offer such low terms is mystery to
the British company. The willingness of
the German house to undertake work on
such conditions indicates the nature of
the industrial competition which is now
to be expected"

ent should take the initiative. In the
opinion of those who have studied the
question, there is little hope that private
ownership will accomplish much in this
direction. Private ownership in too
many instances needs an immediate re-
turn on investments. Federal or State
ownership seems to be necessary in order
to get the best or even fairly good re-
suits. Private ownership is always sub
ject to change, while public ownership is
stable, can defer the harvest till an op-
perfume and suitable time and can pro-
coed in systematic way to plant, care
for or cut timber trees. About $4,000
acres, mainly cut-over lands, on the wes-
tern boundary of this State is under Fed
eral control, being part of the White
Mountain National Forest We believe
that State ownership of large tracts of
cut-over lands would prove to be profta-
Bile. New York has acquired 1000, 600
acres, Pennsylvania, 1000, 600, Vermont,
1,UOU and massachusetts,, III, 600. Maine
should make beginning because before
so years have passed it will be necessary
to compel the practice of forestry all
over the United States. We believe
that the child now lives who will see a
National or State Forest in Katahdin
region which will be larger than Waldo
county. A State Forest Nursery has
been established at Orono, where there
are several hundred thousand transplants
and seedlings which are for sale at rea-
sonable prices. If this stock is not set
by private land owners, the State should
certainly set them on State lands and
give the next generation an object lesson
in forestry.
