my LUCKY DAY.
Morrison Is Glad He
Gave Tanlac a Trial
All His Troubles Were Overcome
"it Succeeded When Everything
Else Had Failed" Hs Says

mo. sir, there's no doubt about 1t,
I simply don't want a better medi-
cine than Tanlac," was the state
ment made by Charles Morrison Of
South Brewer. Me-, while talking to
a Tanlac representative recently. Mr..
Morrison is popular employe of the
Eastern Manufacturing Co., and lives
at IS Patten Court, South Brewer.

has been troubling me for the past
four or FIVE years." continued Mr..
Morrison. II had little or no appe-
tite and even what I did eat nearly
caused me no end Of misery. suf-
fered with terrible headaches, and
all the time I went about feeling
nauseated and rundown. tried
many different kinds Of medicines.
but all failed to do me any good, and
the headaches had about gotten to
the point where couldn't stand them
any longer.
1T was lucky day for me when
one of the men down at the plant
told me what Tanlac had done for
him, and he praised it so highly that
l went straight and got bottle.
Well. Sir, 1 must say that Tanlac
has done more for me than l ever
dreamed any medicine could posi-
bly, do. and now today I've got more
life and energy than I've had in
years. can eat anything 1 want
and not be troubled in the least with
indigestion or gas. The headaches
have left me entirely, and don't
have that nauseated. rundown feel
ing any more. Tanlac has succeeded
where everything else failed and it
certainly does me good to tell ev-
erybody what it has done for me?
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow

Editors Letter Box

Farmers View on Daylight Saving
Editor Of Kennebec Journal:
In regard to the daylight saving
law ESQ called) it might not be out
of place at this time to say a few
words in defense Of the farmers
views. Quite recently in a New York
paper have appeared articles Of a
contemptuous tone as though the
farmers were not of enough impor-
lance to have his or her wishes con-
sidered. Now. a good treatment for
as we would for a sick person, that
all farm products be eliminated from
their diet three times a day for one
month. This would leave fish main
stay and a cure would be the result
in less than one month.
When people realize that the farms
are being rapidly deserted, perhaps
they will have more consideration
for the hard workers who are left,
and on whom We depend for our ex-
istence.
Letters from the West, South and
surrounding towns say that daylight
saving is silly time" and causes Sc
rious inconvenience and that those
who want it are the sports and tour
lists.
This daylight saving $50 named)
was proposed as war measure. and
although we could hardly see how
putting the clocks ahead could win,
or help to win the war, we very good
naturally acquiesced as we did on
everything that had the win -the-war
slogan tackled on to it. Now, the
war is over, and Congress has re-
pealed the law by vote Of two to
one in the House of Representatives
and three to one in the Senate. Now
that it is settled. it is silly, and
would result in great inconvenience
for one city or one state to have it's
own time.
There are important matters to be
considered at our special session Of
this Maine Legislature. so we hope
for the sake Of those who have suf-
tered great inconvenience during the
last two summers, that our men of
Maine will let this law stand as
Congress has decreed, and never
knock old Father Time again.

the circular letter issued by the
Maine Mems Anti-Suffrage Associa-
ton. Both letters are mimeograph

These petitioners represent nobody

were obtained at the solicitation Of
canvassers working for 30 days in

Hoas-Some Of Them

Farmers complain that the big packers
have dropped the price of hogs to a
point where the farmer who has fed
grain to his pigs all summer must sell
at loss. They figure that the packers
who have about cleaned out their stock
OF pork products will now buy the hogs
at the low price. put them in cold stor-
age and later sell them at high prices.
The farmer cannot see where he is to
get on whole on this deal but this is
just what might have been expected. 1t
has become SO customary for hogs to
drop in price about the time that
slsughtering time comes. that people
have got 80 they expect it. However.
it will be good chance to see if. the
decreased price on freshly killed hogs
will bring down the price of pork pro-

Use of Trucks on the Highways

Use Of Trucks on the Highways
October 81, 1919.
Editor o. Kennebec Journal,
Augusta. Me-
Dear Sir:
A few mornings ago I noticed on
your editorial page some comments re-.
alive to the destructive. action of trucks
on improved roads. / believe the sug-
gestion was made or the question was
asked as to the wisdom Of prohibiting
trucks from the highways under GER
tain conditions.
1t may be interesting to the readers
Of your paper and to the public in gen.
eral to know that during the session
Of the Legislature in 1917 the Highway
Commission drafted and caused to be
introduced a bill looking to the pro-
lection Of the highways in this ver:'
manner. The bill, however. received
scant consideration. A delegation from:
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
appeared in the lobby and before the
committee and the bill was promptly
killed.
1 think it is fair that the public
should understand that the Highway
Commission have been aware of the
approach of this situation for some
time. and also that they made an at
tempt to remedy the same. During the
last session an attempt was made to
have the bill reintroduced and it was
taken up with several members of the
Legislature and no one seemed to want
to father the bill.
I am wondering if we are going to
pass through an experience similar to
that Of the maintenance of State and
State aid highways before anything IS
done. The Legislature of 1907. 1909 ana
1911 was asked to enact law provid-
ing for proper maintenance of State
and State aid highways. No such law
was passed until 1913. At the time many
of the earlier State aid roads had be-
