Opposition to Appointment
J. A. Abbott of North Berwick,
county commissioner of York coun-
ty, appeared in opposition to the ap-
pointment Of James Shuffleberg as
a State humane officer, stating that
the man was incompetent and had
been in the habit Of making over
charges on his expense accounts that
the commissioners had not and
would not allow. The mans COM
mission had expired and now bills
were coming in that the commits
sioners were holding up, because
they had no knowledge of his auth

substantiated Mr.. Abbott's state

I95 EARTHQUAKES
FELT nv SIX DAYS
Provinces in Southern Chile are Sub
jeoted to Frequent Shaking,
But with no Loss
of Life,

Santiago, Chile, Jan. l0.-One hun
bred and ninety two earthquake shocks
were registered in six days in the zone
affected by the seismic and volcanic dis
turbances in the mountainous region
of the provinces of aldivia and Cautin,
in southern Chile, few weeks ago,
according to belated advices to the
ministry of interior. So far as Is
known there was no loss of life.
The official reports now available,
supplementing the earlier information
forwarded by cable, lay stress upon the
violence of the shocks and the changes
in the conformation of the country
which resulted.
The disturbance is believed to have
been due to an explosive eruption of
the snow capped volcano Villarica, 81
900 feet high, which is near the town
Of Pueon, in Valdivia. 1t is thought
the center of the volcano became
plugged during the periods of inactiy-
ity and that the mountain blew its
head off with the accompaniment Of
the earthquakes. The volcano is said
to be of the type that, as rule, does
not emit molten lava, but elects pun
ice and volcanic ash.
The shocks began shortly before mid
night on Dec 8, and for three hours
were almost continuous, terrifying the
population, most of which arc Indians.
The most violent quake lasted 20 sec

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

If YOU are troubled with back aches,
it is bet that they are caused by
weak kidneys; they don't perform their
duties, and you should look out, as
there is trouble brewing.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells, and it is more than
likely to bring on rheumatism.
The urine is often cloudy, fun of
sediment, your sleep disturbed by being
compelled to arise, one or more times
during the night, because of the pain,
irritation and abnormal condition OF
the kidneys and bladder.
If you will take from 10 to 20 drops
of SEVEN BARIiS in little water
after meals, you will correct the aka
Unity of your secretions, thus giving
you undisturbed sleep and peaceful
rest, preparing you for your next days
duties.
When the kidneys are not doing
their. duty they allow impurities to
accumulate and be converted into uric
acid and other poisons, which will
cause serious trouble unless they are
driven from your system.
If you eat meat regularly, you
should flush the kidneys occasionally
with SEVEN BARKS, as meat forms
uric acid, which clogs the pores, so
they cannot throw off the poisons.
Don't neglect your kidney trouble
with the first symptoms, you will be
sorry if you do. Get SEVEN Banks
OF your druggist, at cost of only go
cents ADV.

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb lo,--Presi-

to-day, and eentered his attention on
policies, rather than men.
His consultations during the day
concerned chiefly the two public ques-

alton and foreign relations.
Important decisions on both of these
questions are to be made soon after
the change of government at Wash.

have much to do with the exact form
of some of Mr.. Harding's first official
acts as chief executive.

OPPOSE GREAT
NEW WATERWAY
Boston Chamber of Com
merce Thinks II Would
Harm New England
CANADA WOULD
BENEFIT MOST
---.-~--~-----.
And New England Would
Not Get Adequate
Returns

Boston, Feb. 10. Strenuous opposi-
lion to the Great Lakes st. Lawrence
river tidewater project by the New
England Traffic league is urged in a
report of special committee of the
Chamber of Commerce made public to-
day. The recommendation is signed
by W Fl. Day, X. L. French and A.,
Fl. Ferguson, who were named last fall
for an exhaustive study of the prop
osition.
"Your committee has made every ef-
fort to study this matter from broad
minded viewpoint the report says.
ct has, however, had to be mindful
of the fact that it's study of the prob
lem was mainly for determining what
the results were likely to be on the
future industrial and commercial pros
perity of New England should the pro.
iect as proposed be carried out.
"For specific and vital reasons your
committee mas CoIle W INT lohNIuSiVh
that the New England Traffic league
should offer its strenuous opposition
to the proposed improvement OF the IN.
ternational waterway which would
more likely accrue to the benefit OF
the Dominion Of Canada, rather than
to the section of the country which IS
so energetically pushing the same"
More than one -half of the taxation
which would be levied in the United
States for the cost of the waterway
which is estimated at from 100000
900 to $500 900. it is pointed out,
would fall upon New England New
York and Pennsylvania, while the re-
turn would be slight in comparison.
Opening of passage from the Great
Lakes to the sea Is discounted as
business aid to this section of the
country in a statement of the COM
modities shipped.
Tonnage Of American grain ship
ments which might use this route, ="
the report continues, taking the COM
bined shipments for export, through
the ports of Boston, Philadelphia, New
York and Baltimore would not be suf-
ficient to warrant the expense even If
the cost of re-hauling at those points
be considered"
OF the hundred million tons OF
freight carried in one season of eight
months on the Great Lakes, the re-
port says, ninety millions of tons con-
sisted of steel and coal sent to lake
ports which never saw tidewater On
this basis it is forecast the st. Law
renee river waterway would be but
fifth wheel in the wagon of trans
portation.
The remaining ten million tons of
freight consisted of grain, -four, lum
Der, pig iron, etc OF this, the com
mittee says, it was estimated by one
having an expert knowledge of export,
less than five per cent OF the grain was
sent to foreign countries, and a great
err part of this represented Canadian
shipments.
"This clearly indicates that Canada
probably would be more greatly bene
fitted by the completion of the pro-
posed waterway" the report adds,
"than would the western states of this
country who claim to be so vitality in
tereSted."
