Folly" the play in which she will e.
seen at the Colonial theatre today,
she not only proves that she is a
gem of girl herself, but she is the
custodian of very rare gem which
gets her into all sorts of difficulties.
This is another Of those big Co.'S
mopolitan productions released as
a Paramount-A AIRCRAFT picture and it
is sure to make the same kind of a
hit that the others have. Wonder
fully well acted by. the star and n
capable supporting cast, presenting
unusual scenes and possessed of a
story that keeps the spectators on
edge to the very end, it is just the
kind of a picture that cannot fail to
please every kind of an audience.
The plot combines 4 mystery and
love story. 1t centers around April

vies, who exchanges places with
Lady Diana Mannister when the
latter is sent to South Africa by her

GUARD AGAINST FOREST
AND WOOD LOT FIRES

FOfeSt commissioner fOrreSt II.
Colby of Bingham has sent out a
communication to the selectmen Of
all towns informing them that the
forest and wood lot fire season seems
to be very close at hand and enclos-
ing copy of the law in regard to
forest fires in. the organized towns Of
the State.
You will note that the selectmen
Of the organized towns are the for
est fire wardens of such towns"
says Commissioner Colby. please
note that fire wardens in organized
towns do not have supervision over
forest fires.
Il respectfully call your attention
to that part of the law which per-
tains to the negligence of selectmen
for damages if they do not attend to
their duty in this respect. 1t has
been suggested to me that in cases
where the selectmen do not have the
time to attend to this duty that they
appoint one or more men, to be
known as deputy forest fire wardens,
who have telephone connection and
who own an automobile, and are in
terested in the forest and wood lots.
to be their representatives in look
ing after these matters and taking
charge of the work in the case of
forest fires. .
please impress upon these men
the importance Of being very prompt
to act when notified of fire raging in
their locality, and the Importance OF
being within telephone communica-
ton through the dry season, giving
the local operator the number where
they can be called.
Il am awfully glad to call your at :
tention to the great improvement in
the control of forestry fires outside
the Maine Forestry District during
last season over the several previous
seasons. During the summer, of
1918 the forest fire loss outside the
Maine Forestry District was $70,600.
while during the summer Of 1919 il
was only $685. with a total area of
66S acres burned over We appre-
ciate the cooperation the selectmen
of the organized towns rendered us
last season and we feel sure that the
wonderful improvement Is due large
ly to your splendid work in assisting
this department. We know that we
shall receive your hearty support the
coming season, and let US hope that
the improvement will be even great
er than last season.
I'VE stand ready and willing at all
times to render you any assistance
we can in any way and hope you will
call on U.S."

But, at last l have found a med
icine that will do the work. and
that's Tanlac. I started taking it
only about month ago but already
in this short time it has completely
relieved me Of the trouble that I've
been trying for years to get rid Of.
My appetite was never better and I
am entirely free from gas, heart pal
pitation and shortness Of breath. In
fact, I can eat anything set before
me and digest it the same as if had
never suffered from stomach trou-

made in me and they are all the
