YANKEE UNIFORMS NOW
 GRACE TAXIS IN PARIS

. PARIS, May g. - Doughboys serv- ing in France when they saw huge stocks of American uniforms piled up in the Quartermaster's Department little thought that one day those same uniforms would adorn the inside of Partisan taxicabs. That has been their fate, however.
 When the stocks were sold in France the buyer bargained as many uniforms as he could to Boy Scout associations, foreign armies and au- tomobile drivers. Even so, he had a big stock and, despairing ever to find a new war or new army where the uniforms might be used, he turned to taxicab companies, and they took them primarily with the object of is suing them~to drivers. Instead of so doing they had them cut up and used to upholster taxicabs, and Paris now has khaki autos in her streets.

a new title as head of the Alaska di- vision. Colonel Brooks is now known as Chief Alaskan Geologist.
 An account of the change appeared in the Engineering & Mining Journal Press, as follows:
 "A new major subdivision has been created in the United States Geologi- cal Survey by raising the division of Alaskan Mineral Resources to a branch. The work will continue under the immediate direction of Col. A. H. Brooks, whose title under the rear rangement is Chief, Alaskan Geolo- gist"
 Colonel Brooks, or as he is known to most Alaskans, Dr. Brooks, has been connected with the Geological Survey work in Alaska for many years and has covered most of the Territory in his work. It was a suggestion of his to prospectors that resulted in the discovery of gold in the Tolovana country by Jay Livengood and the Hudson brothers. He has also writ ten several official documents on other Alaskan districts, including a study of the Kantishna region.
 Colonel Brooks customarily spends the summer months in the Territory and the winter in his Washington of fices. It is expected that he will make a trip here this season, going into the interior and possibly to Nome.

Schooling for Lighthouse Children.

The State department of education
means to give children of the iso-
lated lighthouse stations, common
school advantages equal to those of
town children. The plan will go
into effect next fall.
For many pears no provision was
made for the education of the chill
dren of ighthouse-keepers along the
Maine coast, and it has been but a
few years since the State began
sending travelling teachers to these
isolated families.
Successful as the plan has been
it has not given the pupil the ad-
vantages to be found in the grammar
schools. DR.. Augustus o. Thomas
State superintendent of schools, has
outlined a plan for them whereby
they will be placed on equal footing
with the resident pupils.
Even though these children are on
government reservations, and the
State need assume no responsibility
for their education, Maine has made
such provision, and is now putting
into effect a better plan. The en-
ployment of travelling teachers
will be discontinued and pupils will
be boarded in towns which the pa
rents may chose, and attend the pub
lie schools. The expense will be
borne largely by the State, the
family having to pay sum which
would correspond with the cost of
supporting the pupil at home.
This will not affect the larger sta
tons where there are enough pupils
for full-time teacher, nor will it
give the lighthouse-keeper's chill
dren high school training,

Constipation results from the in
ability of the intestines to eliminate
waste matter. Harsh cathartics and
drugs of metallic origin force action;
but they do not correct the cause of
constipation.
Early settlers treated constipation
with natural laxatives. An extract
was made from herbs, roots, barks
and leaves with laxative qualities.

Laxative, is compound of extracts
from natural plants-a pure, mild,

GETS THE NEWS HOT.
Former Ellsworth Boy Thirty Years
on a Live Wire.

fOIIl1tE EllSNOIth Ivy
on a Live Wire.
A full quarter century in the ser
vice of the Associated Press is the
record attained by J. Frank Maloney'
the associations operator at th9
Eanpor Commercial. For twenty
five years he has sat at the emo Oh
the wire and copied direct on the
tvnewriter the news reports as they
have been licked out on the tele-
graph instrument, and incidentally
he has established a record LOT
efficiency that has few equals in the
New England district.
Mr.. Maloney learned the tele-
grapher's trade while acting as "a
messenger boy in the Western Union
office in Ellsworth. He followed rail-
road work for time, but drifted
back to the commercial end, finally
landing in Haverhill, Mass, where he
was assigned to the old New England
Associated Press wire on the Haver-
hill Gazette. On March II, 1897,
when that paper, along with others
in New England, went over to the
Associated Press, he became the as
sociation's operator on that paper.
He was transferred to Bangor in
August, 1896, following the Spanish
American war, and has served here
ever since.
His service in the newspaper end
OF telegraph work covers period of
thirty years, during which time he
has been called upon to handle some
of the greatest events in worlds
history, including disasters on land
and sea, deaths of big men, State
and national elections, and on
through the World war, which he
transmitted from wire to paper with
signal ability.
Persons who have never been
brought intimately into relations
with the A. P. will be surprised to
learn that the present daily report as
received by the Commercial averages
from l 5 900 to 5000 words, which
is big days work, but one that Ma
loney handles with accuracy.
Maloney is one of the most popu-
lar men on the circuit, and his
friends here and all long the line
will unite in wishing him many
more years of service with the great
