Federal Lecturer
Aids in Campaign
Preserving Forests

Assisting the Maine forestry de-
partment in carrying out it's cam
paign for the prevention of forest
fires, H. N. Wheeler of the United
States Forest Service has just re-
turned from a three weeks trip
through northern and western Maine
where he gave illustrated talks be-
fore luncheon clubs, normal and high
school students and in moving pic
ture houses. He was accompanied
on the tour by Bryant e. Jones of the
Maine Forest Service.
Mr.. Wheeler. who has been con-
nected with the Federal Forest Ser
vice for the past 81 years and is now
employed by them as chief lecturer
discussed the necessity of forest pro-
lection from four angles: The i'm
portance of the forests commercially;
the need Of watershed protection to
prevent erosion of soil; importan 7e
of the forests as a shelter for wild
life: and finally their Importance as
recreation ground.
The beautifully colored slides
showing woods conditions and bits
of scenery as well as animal life
from all over the United States,
helped drive home the need of con-
serving the greatest of our natural
resources.
4One of the slides that gained par
ticular attention was made by the
Maine forestry department and
shows a vivid scene of a forest fire
with the caption: did You Start
This FIRE." This slide Is to be used
in all moving pictures houses
throughout Maine during the months
of June, September and October
when the fishing and hunting season
are at their height.

State Assessors
Check Up on Wild
Land Valuations

F. S. Jordan of Portland and A. G.
Merritt Of Houlton, members of the
board Of State assessors. and Frank
II. Sterling, chief clerk, returned
Thursday morning from a several
days business trip to Penobscot ard
Washington counties where they
were engaged in checking up on wild
land property ownership and valua-
ton.
Following a visit to Grindstone and
and Davidson for this purpose, they
went to Forest City in Washington
county, which two years ago gave
up its town organization and revert
ed to a wild land township. AS the
result of this change it falls upon the
board of State assessors to perform
the duty usually done by the local
board of assessors; they must place
a valuation on each piece of property
and assess the Ives against the in
dividual owners.
They also visited the islands of
Grand Lake for the purpose of list
ing property and verifying owner

STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO AClDITY
Tell. Of Pleasant Home Treatment to
Bring Swift Relief

so-called Stomach Troubles-indiges-
tion, dyspepsia. gas. sourness, etc, are.
in probably nine cases out of ten. evil
dence of too much acid in the stomach
sourng the food. causing the formation
of gas and starting acid indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes a
full, oppressive burning feeling known as
heartburn. while the acid irritates and
infames the delicate stomach lining. Get
rid of Gas and Acidity, and you get rid
OF Indigestion.
To stop or prevent the sourness and
gas to neutralize the stomach acids and
keep the stomach sweet and free from
Indigestion, teaspoonful or four tab
lets of Bisurated Magnesia should be taxi
en- in a little water after eating or when
over gas, sourness pain or acidity is felt.
This quickly sweetens the stomach, neu-
tralizes the acidity. stops the pain and is
harmless and inexpensive to use.
Bisurated Magnesa, powder or tablets
only can be obtained from any drug store
and its daily use keeps the stomach In
fine condition, enabling It to do its work
without the aid of artificial digestants.-

England Dairy, Food and Drug Of
ficials who at the recent meeting
held in Providence, R. I. adopted
resolutions against any change In
the pure food law in this district.

the resolutions as fol3ows:
Whereas the New England Dairy.
Food and Drug officials, meeting In
conference at Providence, Rhode Is

discussed the proposed amendment
to Section s of an act OF Congress
entitled, An Act for preventing the

ulating traffic therein, and for other

cially have considered the acts now
pending in the House Of Congress,

Now Therefore, 1t is
Resolved: That this conference
disapprove the proposed amend
ments to Section s of said national

First: That said proposed amend
ments are improper in that they
tend to alter the broad, general
language of Section s in the inter-
est of a specific industry.
Second: That the underlying the
DRY Of the entire national food and
drug act is now and always has
been the protection Of the public
from deception and that this confer
ence, after studying the matter
carefully, is convinced that. by the
proposed amendments to said act
the public may be deceived.
Third: That the corn sugar indus
try admittedly manufacturing a pro-
duct which has proper use. has
thriven. expanded and prospered
without a change in the general law
and it may be supposed will contin-
ue so to do without the assistance
of the proposed amendment.

Of this conference, basing it's opin-
ion upon the experience Of the MEM
bers hereof in the enforcement of

eral states of New England, that to

sugar and that a change in the law,
whereby manufacturers are permit
ted to offer to the public without

manufactured from other ingred-
tents and admittedly of a different
character, should follow change of
public opinion and understanding
which has come to include. in its

sugar cane or beet. rather than pre-
