THE TEST THAT TELLS
Is the Test Of Time. Many South
Paris People Have Made this Test.

Years ago this South Paris citizen
told in a public statement, the benefit
derived from Doan's Kidney Pills. The
statement Is now conflrmed-the testi-
mony complete. Instances like this
are numerous. They doubly prove the
merit of Doan's Kidney Pills. Can any
South Paris reader demand moro con.
vincing proof? It's South Paris testimony
lit may be Investigated.
Irving Merrill, stationary engineer,
Nichols Street, says: ~ began having
pains across the small Of my back. When

Utility Bill ''Ought Not to Pass"
AUGUSTA, March Ia.

Any legislative action which will
change the status of the Oxford Electric
Co. in its existing duty to render service
to the public was doubtless disposed of
by the report of the public utilities CON-
mittee this morning, Ought not to
pass" on a bill introduced about two
weeks ago. This bill was q sort Of
sequel to the bill authorizing the Oxford
Electric Co. to discontinue the operation
of it's railroad, the hearing on which was
attended by large delegation OF the
citizens of South Paris and Norway.
The Oxford Electric Co. bill, as Is
well known. was reported sought not to
pass by the committee. It's sequel was
a general bill, drafted by a member OF
the committee, giving the public utilities
commission authority, in its discretion,
to permit public utility to discontinue,
after hearing, all or part of its ser
vice for definite OF indefinite period.
The hearing on the latter bill was
held Wednesday afternoon. No one ap-
psared to advocate the bill, while Albert
j. Stearns of Norway and Alton C..
Wheeler of South Paris appeared in OPP
position, particularly because the bill
would accomplish, under It's general
provisions, what the other special bill
was designed TO accomplish. The hear
ing was not lengthy. and consisted large
~ of q running fire of discussion be-
tween the members OF the committee
and the opponents of the bill, Repre-
sentative George 81. Allan OF Portland,
the member of the committee who drew
the bill, taking prominent part in the
discussion.
1t Ia likely that the report Of the COM
mittse, presented this morning. disposes
of the matter for this session.

Notes from the Legislature.

The legislature still has hopes of get.
ting away from Augusta during the
month of March, but II this is TO be
accomplished, much more work will
have to be done in the next two weeks
than in any two preceding. There are
still a number of matters to be heard by
the committees, so that two sessions
daily can not be the rule this week, and
unless there 10 more disposition shown
to clear the calendar than has yet been
manifest, the legislature will be in SEES
session into April.
All bills hereafter received are by
Joint order TO be referred to the next
legislature, so that the congestion of old
and new measures will soon be some
what relieved.

The presidential suffrage bill, giving
women the right TO vote for presidential
electors, passed the senate on Tuesday,
after an amendment providing for a
referendum to the voters had been de-
fested by decisive vote. 10 the house
1t is specially assigned for consideration
on Tuesday of this week.
Coming as a surprise to practically
every one was a message from the govern
or on Tuesday transmitting the deed of
gift Of the historic Blaine MANSION 10 the
State of Maine in trust as an executive
mansion. The house is given by Mrs.
Harriet Blaine Besle, daughter of James
G.. Blaine, as memorial to her SOD,
Walker Blaine Beale, who was killed in
France in the autumn of 1918. While II
is desired by Mrs. Besle tost tie house
shall be used as the governors residence,
that is not definitely required, but con-
siderable latitude is given to the state in
the use of the gift. The request is made
that the characteristics of the house
shall be retained as fully as possible,
and there are certain conditions in the
deed, all of them easy of fulfiilment, and
so simple that the state would be more
than ungrateful if it did not accede to
them fully.
A special committee chosen earlier in
the session to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of purchasing the Blaine house as an
executive mansion had just made q
report in favor of doing so when the
deed was received and transmitted to
the Legislature, and Ii Is needless to say
that the announcement of the splendid
gift was received with applause and
emotion. The legislature has had moth
ing that so stirred it during the present
session as did this.
