There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together.
and for years it was supposed to be incurable
Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by

ment pronounced il fncurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly Influenced by eonstitu-

We publish this week communi-
cation from Alexander 5. Porter, IT,.
prominent summer resident of
BROOKLYN, calling attention to. viola
tions Of the laws OF the road. 1t is
undoubtedly true that many of these
laws are disobeyed, especially that
with regard to lights on horse vehi-
Giles. We believe Mr.. Porter may be
misinformed in regard to the number
Of automobiles equipped with anti
glare headlights, but it is undoubtedly
true that many are not. Even with
the anti-glare lights, driving at night
on our narrow, crooked, billy roads
requires caution.l Public safety de-
mands that the laws should be
observed by drivers of horse and
motor vehicles; the public demands
that the laws should be enforced
when not observed.

II Maine is to continue her work of
road Improvement, the voters must
vote yes on the proposed $4,000, :
200 bond issue at the special election
on Monday, Sept. s. If the voters
refuse the issue, highway improve
ment in Maine will stop for time, at
least. The State will lose the Ports
mouth kittery bridge, and will not be
able to take advantage of the govern.
ment offer of 50, 400, 900 for highway
construction in Maine. This, BY a
strange coincidence, is the exact
amount the State pays to the govern
ment IN taxes. II the voters favor
the bond issue, We will get this back:
II they don't, We pay out that amount
10 help the building Of roads in other
states, but get nothing in return.
Coming right down to home roads, if
the bond issue is approved, the COM
pletion OF the Bangor Ellsworth road

the State highway department, as al
ready announced. Mayor Hsgerthy
has called public meeting to be hello
