ASK SQUARE DEAL
FROM EMPLOYEES
Aroostook Road Takes Steps to Get
Better Service From Men

In circular ITO All Officers and
Employees" issued over the signature
of Mr.. Percy R. Todd, president OF
the Bangor & Aroostock Railroad,
this paragraph was especially empha-
sized:
'The amount paid in wages during
Federal control on this road increased
o:er 100 per cent, but regret to say
that the efficiency of labor, instead of
increasing with increased wages, has
greatly diminished. During the past
few years we have heard great deal
about the square dear'; it should be
borne in mind that this means not
only that an honest days work de-
serves an honest days pay but that
an honest days work should be given
for an honest days pay, and it is my
duty to say to you that the work of
each officer and employe will be very
closely watched. Slackers unwilling
to do their duty will be dropped from
the service and good work will be
recognized"
This circular was strongly approved
by the older and more conservative
employees and disapproved with equal
strength by the younger and more
radical element, but following up the
lines of the circular some fifteen or
twenty men have been dropped from
the service, particularly in the Main
tenance of Way and in the car inspec-
ton forces, for Stacking in their
work.
In order to move through B. & A.
freight trains as nearly within the
eight-hour day as possible and avoid
punitive overtime, additional Train
masters and Travelling Engineers have
been appointed, as it is believed that
intensive supervision is necessary ir
order to accomplish this and to gel
efficiency out of the men in all de.
partments and in order to get the ut
most service out of equipment. Fur
ther, along this line operating
changes were introduced which re
suited in through freight trains, nont
of which run less than 120 miles ani
some 1877 miles, getting through from
the time the crews reported for duty
until they were dismissed at the enc
of the run with substantially no over
time and, in spite of additional push
ing engines, made a material daily
saving.=American Railroads.

The pedestrian paused at the inter-
section of two busy cross-streets.
He looked about. A motor-car was
rushing at him from one direction, a
motorcycle from another, a steam
truck was coming from behind, and a
taxicab was speedily approaching.
Zip-zip! Zing-glug!
He looked up and saw directly
above him an airship in rapid descent.
There was but one chance. He was

LARGEST CAMPAIGN FUND
WON EVERY ELECTION
Save On. il the Past sIxty Y..r.

When it comes to political cam
paigns it would seem that hard cash
has always been the most potent of
forces. The Wall Street Journal points
out that ever since 1860 the candidate
with the largest campaign fund has
always won the election, with sim
gle exception; but since the single
exception was the last election, this
may not give very reliable basis
for prophecy about the result next
November, and probably even in Wall
Street it would not be claimed that
reversal in the size of the. funds
would have defeated Lincoln, Grant
and Roosevelt.
The Wall Street Journal gives the
following table prepared by Wash
ington statistician showing expendi-
lures and the electoral vote in each
campaign since 1860:

in MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dear hus-
band, James M. Jameson, who died
at Starkville three years ago today,
August IL, 1917.
1t is sad that one we cherish
Should be taken from our home;
But the joys that do not perish
Live in memory alone.
All the years we've spent together,
All the happy golden hours,
Shall be cherished in remembrance,
Fragrant sweets from memory's
flowers
Inserted by his wife, Mrs. Margaret
Jameson, sons and daughters.

moved about in shop or field. Its fuel
is kerosene, which is reduced TO a gas
the moment before being ignited, and
is claimed TO give a temperature
ranging from $500 to 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit. The Kerosene is held in a
storage tank supported under the
burner on the stand carrying the burn
er. The capacity is sufficient fox 4

consumption is not over seven and ono
half gallons, and the oil is supplied to
the burner by air compressed to 50 to
90 pounds, one charge of air sufficins

character of the flame permits leaving

useful in many other operations.

Then Stop The Aches and Pains
in Your Body.

Have you been suffering from pains
IN The back and in the sides? Have
you. like many others, thought that
these pains were caused by straining
yourself or from overwork? It's a
whole lot more likely that they are
caused by your kidneys and are Ma
lures warning to you that there is
something wrong and you'd better do
some hing before it sends you to bed
with serious and maybe fatal illness
Mr. Edward Laundry of "a Main st.
Cohoes, N. Y, suffered for more than
a year with Mains through his back
and sides. He said: 81 doctored and
doctored but couldn't get any relief
| wac suffering nearly all the time and
fina ly | thought I'd try a bottle of
Goldine. | went to the drug store and
bought bottle Of Goldine No. 2 Now
after taking that bottle and another
one the pains have completely left
me and l never felt better in my life.
It surely leaves me a firm believer in
Go'dine and think there is no other
medicine like it."
If two bottles will do that for Mr..
Laundry, they will do the same for
you Why continue to go through life
suffering needlessly when without any
pain, without any discomfort and with
out great expense, you can get rid of
those pains by taking Goldinei No 2.
Why it isn't even bad tasting and it's
made of herbs that viii straighten out
your system and make right whatever
is wrong in your body. It's worth try
ing. isn't it?
Wei. then, go right down to w. L
Gokay's drug store, tell the clerk you
want a bottle of Goldine No. take it
home, follow instructions in using it,
and watch the pains leave you and a
stronger, better. healthier feeling

Prepare Your System

Leading physicians are recommend
ing various things for the people to do
to guard themselves against the Span
ish Influenza epidemic which is ex-
pected to break out again this fall and
winter.
They tell you to keep out of crowded
Places, avoid being near people who
have colds, get out into the sunshine
and fresh air and take plenty of exer-
else, get to bed early at night and
take a little more sleep and rest than
you usually do, eat good nourishing,
wholesome food and tone up your sys-
ten.
Plenty of iron in the blood makes vi
tality, strength and resisting power
against disease. Iron-Lax-Tonic Tab
cts should be taken without delay as
d tonic to tone up the system and pul
ron into the blood.
There is not supposed to be any
hortage of this remedy at the present
time but if you should find drug
store where you cannot buy Iron-Lax-
onic Tablets, persist until you find a
s.cre that does sell them.
1t would be well to keep up the
treatment for some weeks Avoid any
substitutes offered when you ask for
iron LavTonic Tablets. 1t is always
nearly certain You can reasonably look
for the expected results only when you
insist on the genuine article. The
package of Iron-Lax-Tonic Tablets
bears the name of the druggist who
originated them, ]. T. Lantagne, and
ncne other is genuine.
