Fort Fairfield Kicks
On Railroad Service

Fort Fairfield. Me, Dec. S-The
Fort Fairfield Chamber of Commerce
held an important meeting Monday
evening, Dec 5 The meeting was
called to discuss different matters, es-
pecially the subject of the service re-
ceived from the Bangor & Aroostook
Railroad Co. by Fort Fairfield. 1t
appears that Fort Fairfield mer-
chants, potato dealers and citizens in
various other lines Of business have
become very indignant that Fort
Fairfield while doing as much bust
ness in freights as our neighboring
TOWNS are not receiving anywhere
er towns.
About 100 citizens were present at
the meeting. There were also pres
ent, representing the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad company, the
line officials of the road for this divi-
sion: w. X. Hallett, general manag-
er; j. b. Darling, superintendent; J.
II. Curtis, train master, and H. H.
Dow, assistant train master.
These officials made some very
reasonable talk, trying to convince
the citizens of Fort Fairfield that
they were receiving just as good ser
vice as it was possible for the B. g.
A. to give them. A number of Fort
Fairfield men spoke. showing up
their side of the argument. Among
those who gave their views on the
subject in question were c. c. Har-
vey, Nicholas Fessenden, H. II.

"srnoke." a solution make of ginger
ale and denatured alcohol in equal
parts, is now being used as a bever-
age in Bath. Bootleggers represent
the mixture to be Canadian whiskey
and that is the reason one hears it is
possible to buy Canadian whiskey in
Bath. The head of the ring said to
be selling this concoction is alleged
to be a well dressed young man VINO
has not been known to work for sew
eral years. 1t is hard proposition
to catch the young men who OBTAIN
this stuff, for those willing to drink
it, but it may be done and the offend
err will find that there is law on the
books which will punish him severely.
A too liberal use of the mixture as
a beverage will have disastrous re-
suits and little may have bad eff
feet, according to the condition OF the
individual drinking it.
The men who know what they are
drinking, that it is not Canadian
whiskey, like to believe that mix
ture of the harmless beverage and the
dangerous distilled product elimi-
mates the poison of the latter and
produces a harmless, though intoxi-
eating liquor, which has a rotten
taste but a wicked kick. The theory
that the carbonated water, bubbling
through the alcohol, brings the poison
to the surface Of the mixture in sort
Of scum, easily scooped off, sounds
reasonable to them but has been ex-
ploded by leading physicians and
chemists.
Prof. Charles A. Brautlecht, head OF
the department of chemistry at the
University of Maine, emphatically
states that the experiment could not
be successfully carried out.
'In the first place." he said. both
grain alcohol and methyl (wood) al
cohol are perfectly soluble in water.
Denatured alcohol contains from five
to 10 per cent. of wood alcohol and 1t
is so thoroughly mixed with the
grain alcohol that 1t cannot be elm
mated by distillation. Consequently
it is foolish to attempt to take it out
with carbonated water. I never
heard of anyone drinking such a mix
ture and believe the continued use
of it would destroy the tissues of any
man, however much he may be ad-
dicted to the use Of alcohol"

EXCLUDE FUEL OIL,
FROM PROPOSED TAX
(By JOHN C.. TRIcE.l

TALLAHASSEE, May 12.-Repre-
sentative Stuart, Of Hillsborough, does
not think 1t is wise to include fuel oil
IN the bill which proposes to levy a
tax on oils Of various sorts for the
benefit of good roads He takes this
stand not in the interest Of any one
consumer or class of consumers but
in the interests of the general COM
merce of the state as he sees it and
especially in the interests of an in
dustry that is rapidly becoming Of i'm
portance at Tampa. This is ship bun
kering which means ship fueIine.
Stuart believes that tax on fuel oil
levied in this state will drive ships
that might bunker at Florida ports
Pensacola, Tampa, Key West or Jack
sonville-to go to other ports-Mo-
bile or Savannah for instance. If
they go to these other ports for oil
they will be apt to do what other busi-
ness they may have in those ports as
well, he fears. At this time when the
building up Of trade with Latin Amer
lea is of vast Importance to Florida
he does not believe that any step
should be taken to drive such trade
to other ports. He has decided to
offer an amendment to the bill strik-
ing out fuel Oil for this reason

TRANSPORTING AT
RIFLE TOURNAMENT
Bv PETER p, CARNEY

Trapshooting was tried in connec-
ton with the National Rifle Matches
last year and the trial was SO sue
cessful that a definite program OF
trapshooting events will be conducted
in connection with the National Rifle
association matches at Camp Perry in
August. 1t is not likely that the
events will be registered but the
events will lose none of their attrac-
tiyeness because of this. The big
thing in connection with this an
nouncement is the recognition OF
trapshooting by the United States gov
eminent. With traps in operation
during the thirty days of the rifle
matches the thousand or more rifle
men are given a chance to try the
trapshooting game. Adding trapshoot-
ing to the rifle shooting program Will

To Pensaoolians Who Want to Help

SILENT salesmen' to take cash orr
ders for flour from Pensacolians for
the Near East relief have been put
to work in Pensacola by Winston E.
Wheat, chairman Of the Near East
relief for Escambia county, and J. w.

Bank, the Citizens and Peoples Bank,
Watson, Parker and Reese company,
T. L. Giants. Riley's cigar stand, Kozy
Korner, B. G. B. cafe, San Carlos hotel.
Hughey's restaurant and Morrison
cafeteria. Statesmen are to be given
work at other places later.
The Silent statesmen" will work in
competition, the standing Of those
taking the most orders for flour to be
published at intervals. Advertising
matter for the statesmen will probably
be distributed within the next few
days by the Boy Scouts.
All money taken In by the sales
men goes entirely for the purchase of
flour to be sent direct to relieve the
destitute people Of the Near East.
The statesmen are taking orders. for
the flour in any desired quantity, large
or small.
The work Of these silent statesmen"
in other parts Of the state has proved
wonderfully satisfactory.
