Sufferers Should Realize That
II Is a Blood Infection.

Doubtless like other sufferers,
you have often asked yourself this
question, which continues to re-
main Unanswered.
Science has proven that Rheu-
matism is caused by a germ in
your blood, and the only way to
reach it is by a remedy which
eliminates and removes these lit

HEED THE WARNING.
Many South Paris People Have Done
So.

When the kidneys are weak they give
unmistakable warnings that should no,
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign Of disorder, many days OF suffering
may be saved. Weak kidneys usually
expel q dark, ill.smelling urine, full OF
''brickdust" sediment and painful In
passage. Sluggish kidneys often cause
Q dull pain In the small Of the back,
headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid
feelings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There 10 no better recon-.
mended remedy.
South Paris people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills.
James b. Perry. painter, Pleasant
Street, says: 81 can recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills ss have used them With
fine results. I took four boxes of Doan's
which got at the Howard Drug Co.,
and they gave me prompt relief from
pains across my back. Since then /
have been practically free from the
trouble. Occasionally, however, use a
few doses of this medicine and 1t keeps
my kidneys In good condition"

The Street Railroad Matter.
COUNTER PROPORTIONS REJECTED, NOW
'UP TO" THE COMMISSION.

According to appointment conference
Wa held ct the office OF the public utili-
Tee commission at Augusta last Tues
day. The Norway citizens representa-
tives were Albert ]. Stearns, attorney, B.
G. Mc1ntire and Eugene N. SWEET. The
south Paris members Of the committee
delegated full authority to act for them
to the Norway members. The Oxford
Electric Co. was represented by W. B.
Drummond Of Portland, attorney, and
Fred d. Gordon, general manager.
After discussion Of the propositions
made, Q new proposition was submitted,
| which 10 90 follows:
Mr.. Glddings, Clerk Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission, with Mr.. Bean, Its en-
eineer, would come to Norway, Friday,
May 2Srd, 1919, with Mr.. Gordon, look
over the road-bed, check up Mr.. Cor.
don's estimates on the cost of rehabilitat.
ing the road, and report to the citizens
OF these communities forth with the re-
suit OF these observations, giving . rough
estimate of probable cost-one set Of
figures based upon heavy traffic and Q
permanent first.class job; another set
based upon cheaper construction - the
citizens to raise one-half the amount
necessary to rehabilitate the road, not
exceeding SIC. 900, and to receive therefor
preferred stock of the Oxford Electric
Company; the present preferred stock of
the company, issued in payment of the
Mechanic Falls plant, $4,000, to be
cancelled and new preferred stock issued
for such an amount az would be neces-
sary to cover the present $4,000 and
such additional new money "a should be
put into the rehabilitation of the road,
this preferred stock all to bear per
cent. interest, which should be cumula.
tive, and that the stock issued to the
citizens should be retired within period
OF fifteen years at par; that there should
be no dividends Whatsoever on the
$50, 900 Of common stock of the company
until the preferred stock held by the
citizens is retired.
As an alternative the company would
issue second mortgage, fifteen year
bonds for the new money necessary for
rehabilitating the road, which would
be second lien on the property of the
Oxford Electric Company, to bear six
per cent. interest, which would be paid,
il earned, after the payment of interest
on all first mortgage bonds and six per |
cent. on the preferred stock Of the com.
psny now outstanding, above referred TO. |
In accordance with the suggestion |
above, Mr.. Bean, the engineer, and Mr.. |
Giddings, the clerk Of the public utilities
commission, came here on Friday and
looked over the road bed, together with |
Mr.. Gordon, the general manager Of the |
company. They returned on the after
noon train, and Mr.. Bean before leaving |
prepared rough estimate of the cost of
rebuilding the track. His estimate In
full Is a. follows:

A meeting was held at the court house

A. j. Stearns made report on the con-

read the engineers estimate made that
day, going over the situation very fully
Discussion ensued, during which the
various phases of the matter were gone
over. While the speakers expressed
their views rather conservatively, some
were in favor of raising the money to
meet one or the other of the company's
propositions, while others were opposed
to adopting either plan. A motion to re-
ject both propositions was finally made.
The first vote on this brought up 80 few
hands that no count was made, and the
discussion was continued little longer.
On second vote the motion to reject
both propositions was carried, 10 to IL.
The meeting Immediately adjourned.
This action leaves the matter In the
hands Of the public utilities commission,
whose efforts to secure an adjustment
have failed, and they will now have to

NORWAY.

A deal was put through last week with
almost stunning suddenness which may
mean much for the future OF Norway.
Representatives of the Woodlast Shoe
Manufacturing Co., melted BY talk
with Arthur Hebbsrd Ut Old Orchard,
came here on Tuesday, and within m
hour after arrival had purchased the
building and lot on Marston Street,
owned by G. N. Tubbs and w. 8. Pierce,
and formerly occupied by the Oxford
Knitting Co. as factory building. The
work Of dismantling the Knitting Co.
machinery will begin at once, and 1t Is
said that within q few weeks the build
ing will be fully equipped for the manu-
facture of shoes.
The company has been organized to
make waterproof canvas and leatheroid
shoe, with wooden soles and rubber
heels, an article fully protected by
patents. 1t is said that one hundred
hands will be employed at the start, and
that this number may be largely in
creased. Il is also intimated that the
location may be only temporary, and
that real factory building may be erect
ed later. It is said that the money of
the Dupont Co. is behind the enterprise.
