A Good Maine Book
Patriotic Maine Women Prepare WorE,
of Much Value

Maine, My State, compilation of artj-
cles, stories and poems on the history of
Maine. Lewiston Journal Co. Price 81
and postage.
Again the women of Maine, though
this time organized as the Maine Writers
Research Club, instead of acting through
federated club channels, have brought
out volume that makes all Maine peo-
pie and all lovers of Maine their debtors.
In this attractive and we'll illustrated
volume of $50 pages they have collected
ABOUT oO ARTICLES stories and poems that
deal with the traditions, history, develop
ment and famous sons of the Pine Tree
State, and though the book is intended
/ primarily as reader IN the public schools
OF Maine, 1t is certain of warm welcome
IN Tar wider field.
AS an Introductory article there is ''My
Debt to Maine" in which the late Col.
Roosevelt tells of his early days in Aroos-
| took, and the preface tells how this manu-
script, written in pencil by Col Roose-
vets own hand, came only few weeks
before the author died. Most of the con-
tributors are Maine club women, many
of them writers of note, but Holman Day,
{. A. Stephens, John kendrlck Bangs,
John Francis Sprague. William Widgery
Thomas, Col Fred N Dow, John Clair
Mlnot, Hugh Pendexter, Lester M. Hart,
and others are also among the contribu-
tors MIR. Thomas tells of the founding
of New Sweden, and Col. Dow writes of
his father, the great temperance p 0neer.
Holman Day tells of an interview with
Elijah kellog, and Mr. Bangs contributes
poetic tribute to the pine.
/ The book contains the story of the ex-
ploration period, from the search for
Norumbega to the narratives of the Pill
grlms on the hennebec, the four forts of
PemaquId and the Christmas that was
observed on st. Crox island in 604. In
the section devoted to the colonial period
we read of Pepperell at Loulsberg, of John
Alden in Jail, of LovewelI's fight and the
Rale massacre among other things. Then
the revolutionary section tells of Gen.
Knox, of the Lexington of the seas, of
the Arnold expedition up the kennebec,
of the visit of future King of France,
/ etc. The later periods-the sea fight in
| Portland harbor, the Aroostook war, the
immortal Washburn cradle, the story of
| Gen. Chamberlain, etc, etc, have all
| especially aIluring articles. Fortunate
Maine to have such public-SDIrited wom-
en- as those, led by Anna Ladd Dingley
of Lewiston, who have given the world
such worth while book.

No Need to be Thin,
Scrawny or SallOw

If you are thin and want to be plump;
II you have wrinkles in your face that
you are not proud of; if the skin is sallow
or subject to pimples or blackheads, take
Ml-o~na stomach tablets for two weeks
and notice the change
The majority of the thin people are
thin because the stomach does not per-
form its duties properly. 1t is not secret
ing sufficient Of the natural digestive
Juices and in consequence does not ex-
tract from the food enough nutritive mat
ter to nourish every part of the body.
MI o ma stomach tablets are intended
to build up the stomach so that it will act
properly and extract from the food the
elements necessary to form flesh
If you are thin Try two weeks treat
ment OF Mi-ona stomach tabets-they
are small, easily swallowed and are sold
on the guarantee of money back if they

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of iDcOm-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely olimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonfu1 of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out Of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of pCisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alirnen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, bihousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
mound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject,
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood causing poor
health. while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
: sweetens and freshens the skin, so
moi water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
hOwels

BURN CHOLERA
SWINE, WARNS
COUNTY AGENT

The temperance of hog cholera in
Sumter county has been reported to
George o. Marshall. county farm dem
onstration agent, and he today issued
an appeal to farmers who lose ami
mails from the disease either to burn
ar to bury the bodies, and thereby
essist in stamping out the infection.
His statement follows:
There seems to be an outbreak of
hog cholera in Sumter county at pres
ent and in different parts of the coun-
ty. There are also quite a few COM
plants among farmers that the hogs
dying from cholera are not destroyed.
but are often thrown out for buzzards
to eat.
This is very dangerous way to
handle cholera hogs, for it is n very
sure way of spreading the disease. TO
say the least, one who handles his
dead hogs in this way has very little
respect for his neighbors.
"As soon as sick hog is noticed,
make some effort TO determine The
cause, and if cholera is found, have
the herd inoculated. In the meantime,
if any hogs die, burn them, or at least
bury them good and deep. Burning
is the best method, as there is then
hardly any possible chance for germ
to be left to infect another hog.
"The county agent and DR.. Coffman,
of the state department, are at the
service of the hog raisers.
