NO DOUBLES FOR
MORENOI IN SERIAL

To be motion picture actor in
serial requires nerve OF the toughest
tlbre. An actor has to do things to
make the spectators gasp. Antonio
Moreno in THE Yelled Mystery" the
new vitagraph serial which starts at
the Colonial on Thursday. goes through
all kinds of hair-raising stunts. yet
so conscientious is he that he has
steadfastly refused to allow any
doubles to work in scenes where
strength and agility are required. He

Electric Lines Extension, ARGOS. Co.
A decision has been rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission authoriz-
ing the Fort Kent Electric Co. to ex-
tend its lines from Fort Kent through
the towns of Frenchville, Madawaska,
Grand Isle and Van Buren, in order to
connect with the feed lines of the
Gould Electric Co. at Van Buren,.
THE Fort Kent Electric Company
takes it's power from Wallagrass
Stream. and has been supplying cleo
tricity for lighting, power and other
purposes to the Village of Fort Kent"
say the commissioners in their de-
cision.
1T appears, however, that the COM
pany has not sufficient power with it's
present development to supply the de-
mands made upon it, and that to Sc
cure additional power from its present
source would require a comparatively
large investment and result in only a
comparatively small amount of addi-
tional power.
Ample power may be secured from
the Gould Electric Co.. which has it's
as the town of Van Buren,, but in or
der to connect with the Gould Electric
Co. to build the proposed line dis
lance of some As miles or more
through the towns of Frenchville.
Madawaska, Grand Isle and Van
fBuren, the Gould Electric Company is
the only company having the right at
the present time to build it's. lines
through the towns mentioned. and
this company makes no objection to
the proposed extension, in fact, the
Gould Electric Company desires this
line to be built in order that it may
secure another customer
while the building of this line will
require the expenditure of a consider
able amount of money we believe that
the present requirements and future
prospects of the company justify such
extension" '@ =

heads of welfare organizations, the

This joint program should be signed

II your body is sound and youl
blood is rich and red, your acts and
thoughts will be quick and strong.
Let your blood get weak, and your
food won't nourish you nor your
sleep refresh you.
Too much hard work, an illness, or
mental strain can thin down your
blood, and Pepto-Mangan is needed
to bring it back to healthy, normal
condition.
Knowing this, doctors for years
have recommended GUIDES Pepto-
Mangan because of it's bood- building
and tonic properties.
Pepto-Mangan is such a simple and
harmless tonic, yet such prompt
builder of red blood, that it's reputa-
ton has spread all over the country
Today every druggist sells it and
thousands of men and women use it
as restorative whenever they or
their children seem to feel below par.
Pepto- -Mangan agrees with the
most delicate stomach, and is obtain
able in either liquid or tablet form.
Be sure the name "Gude's' is on

"Gude's.' If Guides" is not on the
package, it is not Pepto- -Mangan.-

D. S. Murph, A F. Lever, DR.. Clar-

1t is hoped to be able to start the
plan working in large number of
counties in time for this years crop.
The national executive committee
and the national finance committee
will hold a meeting in Atlanta on

marketing plan will be considered by
these committees.
The Louisiana division has been
active in the preparation of the legis-

and submitted to the attorney of the
division, W. 0. Hart, and after the

Sugar Situation Serious.

sociation, who returned from a con,
ference in Washington recently, de-
clares that the sugar situation is as
critical as at any time in the history
Of the country He says that during
the past year the consumption of
sugar was ninety-two pounds per cap
ita. Previous to the war it was eighty
two pounds. During the emergency
it was lowered to 72 pounds. He fur
ther declared that there was reason
to believe that the rate of consump-
tion will even exceed the ninety-tWo
pound mark. The present margin
of profit allowed by the government
is just one-half that allowed when
the commodity was selling at lower
price. Only by the government pur-
chasing the remainder of the Cuban
crop can it be hoped to stabilize the
price he said.
