Federal Control Not Wanted in Maine

Federal control of Names naviga-
BILE waters, in the way OF keeping
them suitable for navigation. is to be
expected: but when the bureaucrats
of Washington attempt to Slip IN a
claim to control every little stream
running into n navisable stream;
with all their machinery of extrava-
gance, incompetence, cost plus and
politics and at the behest Of parties
whose motives may be guessed at
Maine thinks it time to call halt.
1t should not be that a farmer
must get Federal permit to water
his stock at the brook running
through his farm and pay a Federal
commission for the privilege: 1t
should not be that Federal wise
acre may forbid the building Of lit
tie dam for the local mill pond. Yet
these are among the things, which
it appears, may be provided for
by this proposed legislation. In
other words someone has tried to
put something over" They may
succeed in some way they got the
measure we'll advanced before the
true significance Of it was revealed.
The investigation and opposition
urged by Major Danforth of the Wa
ter Power Commission are bearing
fruits Names representatives are
awake to the possibilities. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, is opposed
and New York members are said to
be in opposition, but whether the de-
sired amendments may be had re-
mains to be seen. Maine people
should register their protest. And
people everywhere, who realize there
should be a curb to this government
interference, ought to exert them
selves to prevent this pernicious
measure.

Sensible Method of
Ren1oVing Wrinkles

If crows feet appear prematurely
about the eyes, apply a lotion made by
dissolving an ounce Of saXolite in a MALT
pint of witch hazel. This is the best,
understanding treatment known, as II
tends to restore normal conditions. 1t
tightens and strengthens the skin, like
wise the underlying tissue, the loosen
ing and softening of which are the
cause of a wrinkled condition. 1t also
has a tonic effect, which not only aids
in the same direction but. by improving
capillary circulation. helps to bring a
healthy color to the face.
The same solution, acting as it does,
naturally affects not only every
wrinkle and line, but hanging or flabby
cheeks and chin, as well. When your
face wears a tired expression. battle it
with this refreshing, revivifying liquid.
Tell the druggist you want powdered
saXolite-Adv.

Maine GOSSIP
The Woods Trail

I strolled today through woodland ways.
Where the soft spring breeze in the
tree-tops plays.
The sun. peeping down through the lat
tice o'erhead,
Had Weakened the daffodils, in their
bed.
The carpet was dotted with cow-slips
green:
With trailing arbutuS in between.
An unseen power, in earth and air,
Was working miracles, everywhere.
The brook too, had walked from It's icy
bed.
By thousand riverlets fed.
1t sang CHEEKY song to me,
AS it splashed it's way toward the dis
tant sea.
My spirit felt soothed, and free from
care.
With. Gods plans unfolding everywhere.
You may chant of spring beauty on sea-
shore and plain,
But, for me, a woods trail down
in dear old Maine.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Real Remedy
for the Disease Has Been Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by druggists everywhere,
gives quicker and more lasting relief
than other remedies costing many times
as much.
Rheuma helps pass the deadly poison
Gus secretions into the bowels and kid
neys, from which they are quickly
thrown off in a natural. healthy way.
Read what reputable physician says
about Rheuma: Il have made a most
careful investigation Of the formula en-
ployed in the manufacture Of Rheuma
and heartily recommend it as a rene
dy for all forms Of rheumatism. ! find
Rheuma far in advance Of the methods
generally employed in the treatment of
rheumatism, and altogether different
in composition from the remedies
usually prescribed. DIR. NJ. C. Lyons
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
