rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment. the channels
often get sore and irritated, ohllEinS
YOU to seek relief two or three times

Deciued masterpiece
We expected to see a great deal
yesterday when we went to see Lee
more Uric in David Belasco's Tiger
Rose at the Colonial theatre, and we
put it conservatively when we state
that the picture exceeded our highest
expectations.
The uffrnistakable influence of that
great master and genius, David Bel
asco, was evident throughout the en-
tire photoplay which held the audi
ence with its interest and attention
focused at the highest pitch. 1t is
indeed a picture that will long be re-
membered, one that will long be a
standard by which other pictures will
be judged.
Lenore Uric proved herself as
great In the silent drama as upon the
stage, and those who have seen her
in the original play will easily recog-
nize that magnetic personality that
brought her to the pinnacle of fame
in playing the title role in this play.
The remarkable acting of the char
acters throughout the whole picture
is a rare tribute to Director Sidney
Franklin and his ability to direct and
manage such mixed and tempera-
mental group of players rs Lenore
Uric, Forrest Stanley, Joseph Dow

MAINE, THE HOME OF PURE
MILK

1t seems a matter worthy of a little
curiosity whether any particular at
tention will be paid to the surpris-
ingly fine showing made by Maine,
according to the report Of the divis-
ion Of animal industry, in freedom
from bovine tuberculosis. If such a
creditable record had been achieved
In some states countrywide propa-
ganda would have been started. Cali
fornia, following her custom, would
have had every west-bound train
placarded, every possible visitor ap-
prised of the health giving lacteal
output of the California cow.
Really it Is a surprising record: in
percentage of disease found Maine
had only Is as compared with her
neighbor, New Hampshire, with 144
and Massachusetts with 2S.5. And
Maine has So per cent. of her cattle
under supervision whereas Massa-
chusetts has but SIS. The percentage
of farms in Maine found infected was
but SO while in Massachusetts the
percentage is Ash and in Connecticut
ass.
How many prospective summer
visitors are to be informed respecting
this unusually favorable condition,
this splendid assurance of clean
dairy products? How many Of us
right here in Maine are to keep this
in mind and help to spread the good
news?
