An All.Malne Table.

The direotors' and general conference
table In the Offices of the Eastern Forest
Products Association In the Stetson
building, Bangor, 10 an article most
unique and at the same time beautiful
piece OF furniture. Every piece that
shows is different, all of native Maine
woods. d. G.. Wood, executive secretary
OF the association, conceived the idea
that suob table would be most appro-
pirate for the committee room, besides
serving as an Advertisement for Maine
lumber products and what could be done
with them. The table ID eight feet long,
three feet wide and has five legs. The
top is made up Of six boards six inches
wide and OF the following woods: White
ash, birds eye rock maple, black cherry,
curly yellow birch, beech and CHARTERED
white oak. The legs are of elm, bIck.
DRY, chestnut, butternut and mshogs.
nixed yellow birch. The ledge boards
are of sycamore, white birch, brown ash
and cherry birch. Under the margin OF
the top lie q plate to give q thick top
effect which Is made OF white pine, hem
lock, white cedar and red spruce. With
the exception of the maboganized leg
each piece is in natural finish and the
effect 10 beautiful. The mahogapized
leg illustrates the possibility of securing
a most deceiving imitation of mahogany
wood by using birch.

L. E. Monk, mechanic, Pleasant ST.,
says: "Some years ago I was going to
work every day with lame back. The
pain seemed to be located just across my
kidneys. The kidney secretions were
unnatural and I decided my kidneys

try Doan's Kidney Pills and I got some
at the Shurtleff Co.'s Inc. Drug Store.
One boz did mo 80 much good, contin-

said: Occasionally, ] use few doses Of

CRANBERRY SAUCE

Wash the berries and remove all stems,
leaves and imperfect berries. By using
deep saucepan rather than a shallow
one it will not be necessary to use so
much water to start the cooking, and
the less water one uses the better will be
the sauce. As rule there should be
about one-eighth as much water, by
measure, as berries. For quart of Der.
ries put a scant half.cup of wafer into
The pan, add the berries and as soon as
they begin to soften. add one-fourth q
teaspoonful of baking soda. Stir well
and remove all the froth that rises 10 the
top. Continue cooking until the berries
are thoroughly softened. Press through
sieve and throw away the thick skins
that will not pass through. Return the
pulp to the clean pan, add two cups OF
sugar, cook till the sugar is melted and
turn into the dish from which the sauce
is to be served. When cool, cover to
prevent the formation of thick skin.
