Woman and She Enjoys Splendid

when my troubles were all gone

telling Of the remarkable benefits she
had received by taking Tanlac.

Tanlac would do for me, and hadn't

right along. AS 1 said, six bottles of
the medicine have built me up twenty
pounds in weight, and have entirely
relieved me of all my troubles. My
appetite is just splendid and I eat
such things as onions and cabbage

Auburn-P Portland
Road Construction
Within Three Weeks

Within three weeks they will be
pouring cement on the new State high
way between Auburn and Portland,
according to the statement made in
Lewiston Friday. The contract for
construction of the section of this
road between Portland and New Glou-
cester was awarded several weeks ago.
Work began shortly after. A consider
able amount of the preliminary work
has been done already, it IS stated, as
has some of the foundation work.
There has been fear that work on
this road would be delayed by reason
of inability to secure material, par
ticularly cement. The contractor now
has nine carloads Of cement on hand
and more will be coming all the time,
so that by the time he is ready to be-
gin running concrete he will have an
ample supply.
1t seems that the State Highway
Commission took up the matter of Sc
curing cement for highway work with
the Inters tate Commerce Commission,

There is only one form of amuse-
ment which is popular in summer,
that. the Ambassador will have to
forego and that is motoring. He
must leave his cars on the main land
when he reaches the jumping of
place at Belfast, or Camden or
Rockland as the case may be, for
no cars are allowed on Islesboro by
act of the Maine Legislature. Many
of the summer residents keep their
cars on the main land, however, and
go across in their boats to enjoy the
fine roads and drives in the vicinity.
One might add that there will be no
baseball on Islesboro unless there
might be a purely local game, but
! being a Britisher Sir Auckland is
probably not as yet dependent on
| the great American game for amuse-
ment.
Possibly Sir Auckland would never
| have heard of Islesboro, tucked away
among the jewels of the Maine coast,
| had he not met Mrs. Gibson a few
| months ago, at a farewell dinner
I given for him in London just be-
fore he sailed for America. She told
him of her own summer home here
and her enthusiasm was so great that
he decided at once that he must see
: for himself the beauties of the Maine
coast. Mrs. Gibson who was one of
the beautiful Langhorn sisters of

Dark Harbor, Isleboro, July 30
This is the first picture to be pub
lished of the August quarters of the
British Embassy, made by a rep
resentative of the Journal and shows
the delightful spot where Sir Auck-
land GeddeS will spend the remain
der of the summer. He leased the
place, owned by George T. Rice of
Boston, through the Charles Dana
Gibsons, never having visited Maine,
and he cannot fail to be delighted
with their choice. The cottage is
large and convenient, stands on a
bluff on Shipyard Point, overlook
ing in the middle distance Gilkey's
Harbor and Seven Hundred Acre
Island, where the Gibson place is To-
Gated, and in the distance the blue
waters of Penobscot bay, backed by
the purple Camden Hills behind
which the setting sun forms a pic
ture beautiful to behold.

nent Bostonians, while all about him
are the summer homes of Philadel-
phians, New Workers and Bostonians

high among the trees on the somewhat
billy little island.
