G. M. p. Builds Road
Visitors Travel
To Gulf Island

Some idea of the great interest
Maine people are showing in the big
Gulf Island hydro electric develop
ment on the Androscoggin river
above Lewiston is reflected in the
announcement just made public by
the Central Maine Power Company,
builders of the construction, that
new gravel road has been construct
ed from the state highway to the
construction site for the use of Wis
itors to the development. This spe-
cial road leaves the main highway
on the road to Winthrop from Lew
iston, about three miles out from
Lewiston. 1t is left turn from the
main road and is plainly marked
so that visitors will have no diff
Guilty in finding the road.
In making this road the Central
Maine Power Company not only in
tended to accommodate the thou
sands of visitors who would visit the
plant but also to provide a suitable
road to the French cemetery to re-
place the so-called Switzerland road
which is now used solely for the
construction workers to the power
development.
The road rises gradually without
any perceptible grade and at one
spot commands a wonderful birds
eye view of Lewiston and the sur
rounding territory for miles around.
1t is sure to be one of the show
places in this section for local peo-
pie and tourists alike.
At the end of the road is a large
parking space for automobiles
where picnikers can enjoy the cool
breezes from the Androscoggin.
Should visitors continue to go to
the development as they have in the
past, officials of the company are
planning to have guides stationed at
the parking grounds to explain the
construction work and to point out
the interesting details of the big de-
velopment.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF HEART DISEASE.
El0As Ice e:seA 3a.a:S my

Let my reader bear In mind thsS
am speaking strictly from my
own experience, not from the au.
thorities. My opinion Is, that
throat infections lead In causing
sextous heart affections. Influenza
Is most dangerous and deadly
thing If neglected. Tondllids may
cause either valvular disease, or
myocarditis. No throat infection
should 60 untreated for Q single
hour.
Colitis, accompanied By putre-
faction In the colon, Is q potent
source Of heart disease. The pres
ence of indican in the urine tells IN
that we have the makings of SER
ious cario-vascular trouble, unless
we attend to that colon, and diet
accordingly. Once heart disease is
set up, every hearty meal aggra-
Yates the circulatory disorder. If
you happen to have large abdom-
en-, out of proportion to your gen.
eral build, you are putting up with
something that win make you
trouble some day. Watch the colon.
OF course pneumonia and rheu-
matism often leave defective
hearts, both Of them bearing dis
ease-germs from the respiratory
organs. With such heart it is
utter foolishnesa to give heart
stimulants with the idea of effect
ing cure, until you are rid Of
the germs that ara causing the
weakened heart. In my experience,
yaccines are the most rational
treatment for infections, though
many physicians seem to believe
differently. When failure occurs,
the diagnosis is probably inaccur-
ate.
Two valuable suggestions fox, the
heart are,-do not neglect your
throat, and, take care of the colon
do not overeat. In this way you
may lessen your chances for
heart disease.
