BE careful with matches and
smoking materials; do not throw
lighted matches or burning tobacco
from your car; break every match or
roll it between your fingers before
throwing it away. Throw cigar butts,
cigarette stubbs or pipe heels into
water or stamp them out on bare soil
of rock. Matches do not think with
their heads; cigars, cigarettes and
tobacco have no headS-use yours.
BE very careful with camp fires.
Build every fire against a rock or
cliff, in a pit. in stone fireplace, or
better still. in a collapsible stove or
other metal container. Never build a
fire against a log or a tree. or on
leaves, moss, duff or any other in
f1ammable surface litter. Never build
a large fire: small ones are better for
both cooking and warmth. Never
build a fire of any sort when the
woods are unusually dry or when the
wind is strong. Never leave fire
unmatched, no matter how safe it
seems. Sudden gusts are always
possible and have often made appar-
entity safe fires destructive.

mineral soil. Never scatter the en-

containing vegetable matter. Never

What Maine Forestry District
Wants Done in Maine Forests

| Deputy Forestry Commissioned
| Neil l.. Violette went down to the
j Maine Automobile Association meet
| ing in Portland Wednesday night and
he told the people there and else
\ where a whole lot of things concern
| ing the duties of motorists for the
| forests of Maine, starting off with the
statement that every motorist in
| Maine has a profound interest in the
| preservation Of its trees and forests"
| statement with which everyone
agreed. Then he went on and very
successfully got after one and all
| with the statements:
Good roads are essential, but
| only prosperous communities can af-
ford to construct good roads. Maine
forests are one of the chief sources of
its prosperity and burned forests
build no houses, pay no wages and
yield no dividends-they are an eye
sore to the traveller. Fire may turn
the most beautiful landscape into a
scene of desolation. More fores: fires
are due to campers, fishermen and
other travellers than to any other one
cause.
Forest fires have increased In
number with the increase in tourist
travel resulting from more and bet
ter roads They are almost invaria-
bly, due to carelessness. Fire-the
danger that never sleeps-can be
controlled only by the fullest public
| corporation. Every motorist can
help to safeguard the forests of the
State by being careful himself and by
warning, others. Forest fire preven-
ton is a civic duty. 1t is also good
business. 1t pays to be careful"
That was some of the dope" that
he passed out particularly to the au-
tomobile men. Then he had general

be honestly taken by the Governor and
Council in my case. At the time re-
ceived this sentence I was in no con-
dition to make a defence or ask for
clemency and do not deny the condi-
ton that I was in.

Another Fraudulent Solicitor
of Charitable Funds in Maine

Another organization has been
found soliciting funds in Maine for
charitable purposes, without being IL
censed by the State to so do and in
vestigation has been made and is go
ing on that will undoubtedly drive it
! from Maine. Secretary ]. +. Bagley
/ of the State Board of Charities and
Corrections gives the following infor-
nation concerning this questionable
solicitation:
"a number of hotels Of Maine have
! glass front and a card requesting
contributions to help the blind. The
address given is the Golden Rule AL
lance, New York City
"This organization has not been IL
censed to solicit funds in Maine and
of course these boxes are exhibited in
violation of the law and it Is also
very probable that the hotels them
selves may be liable under this law.
Furthermore this department Is
informed on good authority that this
organization was incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey and that it
has surrendered it's fcharter, rather
than stand an investigation. Under
the New York law, in which state is
located the head Office, definite evil
'dence OF fraud must be shown before
prosecution is begun.
"The last financial statement of the
Golden Rule Alliance obtainable, for
the year ending Jan. 81. 1915. showed
a $4,000 income and 5000 disburse-
ment. The overhead expenses must
have been unusually heavy.
This board is bringing this organ
ization to the attention of the hotels
and the local Chambers of Commerce
and we have no doubt that the boxes
will be taken out Immediately. One
hotel informed me that it had been
forwarding good sized checks every
month for the past five years. the pro-
ceeds of the contributions to the box
in it's Office.
TT is perhaps needless to say that
unless the boxes are at once removed
from public places. the attention of
the attorney general and the several
county attorneys will be called to the
matter, with the view of ascertaining
if there is anyone in Maine who
should be prosecuted"

Of the trucks travel usually on dirt

increasing with the size of the truck.

WHEN a man is in the S3rd
wv year of his age, as | am,
there are certain things he has
learned that only time can
teach him. The basis of treat
ing sickness has not changed
since | left Medical College in
1875, nor since ! placed on the
market the laxative prescrip-
ton had used in my practice,
known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment Of con.
stipation, biliousness, head
aches, mental depression,
indigestion, sour stomach and
other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely
by means Of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots.
These IRE still the basis OF my
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is a combination Of
Egyptian SIENNA and other mild
laxative herbs with pepsin.
Recently new medicines
have been brought out for
constipation that contain cal
omel, which is mercury, salts
of various kinds, minerals, and
coal tar. These are all drastic

The simpler the remedy for
constipation, the safer for the
child and for you, and the bet
ter for the general health OF
all. And as you can get results
in a mild and safe way by
using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, why take chances with
pills and powders and strong
drugs, even if disguised in
candy? My remedy, too, costs
less than most others, only
about a cent a dose. A bottle
such as you can find in any
drug store, will last a family
several months, and all can use
it. 1t is good for the babe in

dose, given in the directions,
it is equally effective at all
ages. Elderly people will find
