Habit of Overeatina:

The habit of overeating, at first a pleasant one, once formed, grows un- til, like all habits, it is difficult to break A word to the wise is enough When you are building or repairing a house you do not pile up material such as hicks, mortar, timber and slates, and attempt to build theg; in where they are wanted. The result would be chaos. That is what hap pens when bodybuilding material is crowded unthinkingly into your 'tene- ment of clay" To begin with, habitu- al overeating, instead of giving strength, lowers vitality by damping down the flame of life, as a small fire in a grate is smothered by putting on an excess of fuel. It wears out the digestive system, producing dyspepsia and all it's manifold train of painful and facilitating symptoms

Phrasinq of Blackbirds.

Before "the time of the singing of birds" is overland the nightingale is beginning already to 'jug-jug" rather than to launch Tennyson's liquid note"-some musician ought to do full Ter justice to the blackbird.
 He is the most ineligible of all birds-that is, he has intervals like those of our human music; his phrases may be, and have been put down on our five-lined music paper.
 There is a West Sussex blackbrd who sang all last May the first five notes of ''The Campbells Are Coming" and he is at it again, in the same gar den, this year.
 Other blackbirds have composed prettier phrases, but all sound equally jolly and sweet in their trolling.-Lon- don Chronicle.

MRS. Lillian ROBBINS CHASE

l
| The sudden death of Lillian Robbins
wife of F. Wallace Chase, at their sum.
| mer home on Lincolnville avenue in thi,
city Saturday at p. M, caused universe
sadness and regret. Her family and mos,
intimate friends realized her serious con.
oition, but hoped that her life might bs
spared for years. Mrs. Chase was borr
Dec. y, 1867, in the home in which she
died' the daughter of Levi L. and Matilda
NWlenU Robbins She attended the city
schools, graduating from the B. H. S. in
1884, and few years later graduated
from the Gorham Normal school. After
teaching at Citypoint and the Hayford
schools for some time she became an as
slstant in the Belfast High school and
was teaching there when Mr.. Chase be-
came its principal. The friendship begun
there eliminated in their marriage July
D, 1893, at the home of her parents on
Miller street. The first two years of their
married life was spent in Lewiston and
three in Lawrence, Mass, where Mr.. Chase
taught. Since then they have resided in
Newtonville, Mass, while he is master
OF the Bigelow. school in Newton. A life
student, possessed of rare judgment and
executive ability she was always potent
influence for high ideals particularly in
the home and church circles. The friends
OF her early youth were as loyal to her as
those formed in later years in her New
tonville home. Never sparing herself she
was anxious and ever ready to do her
part in a womanly and helpful manner.
She became a member of the Belfast
Baptist church and later transferred her
name to the Emmanuel Baptist church
OF Newton. After organizing that
church's Woman's Association she be-
came its first president. She was inter
ested in and worked for the Red Cross
and the Inter-church movement; an
active member and former president of
the Travellers Club and belonged to the
Stearns Settlement Association. She had
registered and was looking forward to
the November election. 1t is in the fam
lily circle her council and assistance will
be sadly missed by her surviving husband,
three children-Heloise, a student at
Mt. Holyoke College, Elizabeth Files
and Frederick Robbins Chase; two sis
tiers, Mrs. A. T. Ringold of Northboro,
Mass. Mrs. Paul Delaney of Brocton, N.
Y; one brother, Laforest L. Robbins of
Belfast and an aged aunt, Miss Harriet
N. Wight, who had lived with her several
years. The funeral was held in the Bel
fast Baptist church at 1.30 p. m. Tues
day. Her pastor, Rev. Newton A. Mer-
ritt, Jr., of Newton, Rev. A. T. Ringold
and Rev. George C. Sauer officiating.
Miss Edith M. Davidson presided at the
organ and Mrs. E. P Frost sang a sopra-

beautiful floral tributes from both cities.
The bearers were Messrs. Charles E.

ment was in Grove Cemetery.

Steel Reports Exaggerated

Reports that large portion Of the
steel industry may be forced to sus-
pend operations for time because Of
the existing car shortage were branded
yesterday by steel men as exaggera-
tions of the real conditions. 1t was
admitted that the present situation is
serious with respect to shipments and
that at many plants large quantities
of finished goods are being piled up for
lack of transportation facilities. Fur
thcrmore, it was pointed out that in
localities where the car scarcity is most
acute temporary shut-downs may be put
into effect becahse Of congested con-
ditions at warehouses. Some COM
panies outside the Pittsburgh district
are better off with regard to trans
portation facilities than others, due to
the fact that they own their own cars
and are not subject to rulings of the
Interstate Commerce Commission re-
garding routings Although the Steel
Corporations shipments in the month
of June were hampered by the diver
sion of cars to move coal and grain, it
was learned yesterday that deliveries
averaged 10000 tons a day, an excel
lent showing in normal times. The
head of large steel company said yes
terday that he felt transportation con-
ditions should, at least, not get any
worse than they are and that the prob
abilities are they will show improve
ment in the near future.

Doheny Issues Weak


Postponement Of the ex-dividend
date for the, stock dividends recently
declared by Mexican Petroleum and
Pan-American Petroleum and Trans
port companies was construed bear
ishly yesterday and traders were re-
ported as heavy sellers of both issues
throughout the day. "Pan Pete" was
down 3A. The postponement of the
ex-dividend date for the stock dividends
was attributed to the failure of the
companies to make application to list
the additional shares and to the fact
that the companies original notice to
the Stock Exchange was indefinite re-
garding the date of payment. which has
since been fixed for July Fl. The ex-
dividend date, it was stated yesterday,
will be fixed when the new issues are
listed.

New Financing Discussed

Investment bankers are considering
new railroad and industrial railroad
issues, but negotiations are still in the
formative stage, and consequently
bankers are not ready to discuss them
1t is possible that there will be some
industrial financing late this week, but
the railroad deals, which are said to
be small, are not likely to consummate
much before August /. The only large
railroad financing in sight is the meet
ing of the 100000 note maturity of
the Great Northern, which falls due
on September /.
