MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: “As I have found Peruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. 1 “Catarrh, such as I suffered from, I made life a burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my head stopped up so that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, noth ing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me. “However, I did buy a bottle, and be fore that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was com pletely cured in a month’s time, and I iind that my general health is also ex cellent.” People who prefer solid medicine* should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents one average dose of Peruna. I Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. vices at 10.30 tomorrow on the shore j of Morrill pond in Camden.

Washington, Aug. 31.—A test has been held on boaid the Cnited Statvs steamship Iowa with a system of cool ing the magazines where is stored smokeless powder. The introduction of that ammunition lias rendered it necessary to lower the temperature of the powder magazines on board ships of war by thirty degrees or more. This could have been done to a less ex tent by simply keeping the hot-water pipes away from the magazines, hut when it was recommended, as it was from various service sources, that the temperature tie lowered to 70 degrees in tlie mngaziif. it was appreciated that some sp. eial provision should lie made. Tile hurt all of construe tion and repair applied itself to the prob lem, and or.e of the naval constructors who had served with tlie Atlantic fleet was selected to design and superin tend the installation of an experimen la' system. The Iowa was selected f>r the purpose, and the method is one of seviral types of injecting coaled air into tie magazines. A careful ol servaliop. is lr ing maintained on the iowa, with a view to ascertaining if the system is satisfactory in all respects. If it meets the requirements and the low temperature is maintained, the vsl- m will lie installed on till the new ships of war. being added to the ill signs of the vessels under con struction, as well as placed on the xe' S' ls which a re afready in commis sion.

THE ISLANDER. New Boat Has Proved Very Success ful This Season. The Inlander, the new steamer of the Augusta, Gardiner Konthhay Steam boat O... has proved very successful thus far this season and her own. rs are very much pleased with the boat. The boat is speedy and has no diffi culty in making her Yunning time. The Islander does a much larger volume of business than did the old Gardiner and handles it in a very sat isfactory manner. She has always been able to handle all the freight oi fered her and has never come within So or 7»» of her full passenger limit The management built the boat, how ever. looking towards the future ana is conlident that by another season ihe business will increase so that there will be a demand for the full carrying capacity of the boat. Thus far this season the Tsland^r las carried a much larger number of >assengers_ and considerable more freight than did the Gardiner. Site lias made 4.7 minutes faster time on tier trips than did the old boat, not w ithstanding tin* increased business The Islander will be kept on the mute until the last of September and ui)l probably secure a charter for a Southern route for the winter.

BURLEIGH of Augusta 1-•>,000,090 by the mere accu mulation of interest at the rates paid by these institutions during those years.” lie then deducts his 25,000,000 from the $50,00(1,000 of increase under the Dingley law to show that the figures of the uclual increase are too high! It must however be evident to any thoughtful citizen that if we are to assume that ADD the money that was in our savings institutions in 1897 re mained there at compound interest, and that the total showing on the basis of such an assumption should be deducted from the actual increase in savings since the Dingley law went into effect, we must also assume that all the money that was deposited in these institutions after the enactment of the Dingley law also remained there at compound Interest and add the total accrumenc to the actual net increase of savings under the Dingley law. The proposition is as broad as it is long. The plain fact is however, that the money in our savings institutions in 1897 DID NOT all remain there at com pound interest “neither being added to or subtracted from,” neither did the enormous volume of savings subse quently deposited in our State savings institutions so remain there. The plain fact is that every bank ing business is made up of both deposits and withdrawals. There are thousands of people who depend in whole or in part upon the interest on their little savings to defray their or dinary living expenses. It may be in teresting to speculate upon what would happen if there were never any with drawals of deposits from our Savings inst ilutinns-everyone being able and willing to let his accumulations in such institutions remain there over long periods of time at compound in terest; but figures worked out on such a basis are purely speculative. They belong to the world of theory, and not of tact. There are daily withdrawals both of principle, and of accrued interest at ail our savings institutions, as the people have need of their money for the purchase of property and for oth er purposes. The increase in any savings institu tion for any period represents the net increase of deposits and interest earn ings over withdrawals, and the attempt to befog the actual facts, by figuring what might be the rc-utls IF there were no withdrawals is a silver waste of time. The plain facts concerning the magnificent in crease of the savings of the peo ple of Maine since the Dingley tariff law went into effect speak for them selves. They are these: In 1897. the last year of the Wilson tariff law—the people of Maine had in the savings banks, trust companies, and loan and building associations, savings to the amount of $67,535,453. In 1907, when the Dingley tariff law had been in force ten years, they had in the same institutions, savings to the amount of $118,512,400—a net gain of $50,976,907, over and above all with drawals of deposits and disbursements of interest. This is absolutely the greatest gain in savings ever made by the people of Maine during any simi lar period of tlie State's history. These are the plain figures, as re turned by tlie State Bank Examiner. They speak for themselves, and they cannot be conjured away by any of tlie tricks of political sophistry or leg erdemain. The Democratic Proposition for Free Lumber, Pulp Wood and Paper. In his tariff speech at Des Moines, la., yesterday, Mr. Bryan Quoted with his hearty approval the following plank in the Democratic platform: "We demand the immediate repeal of tlie tariff oil wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs, and that these articles be placed upon tlie free list." It will readily be seen that tlie pro posal of tlie Democratic party to put all kinds of manufactured lumber upon the free list is a direct blow at the thousands of wage workers in Maine who ar engaged in the various phases of our immense lumber busi ness. Tlie Dingley bill permits Canadian logs and pulp wood to come into this country free of duty in or der that American labor may be given an opportunity to convert it into the pulp, and paper, and long and short lumber of commerce. It gives to the manufacturers of Maine absolutely all tie* advantages, if any, that can conic from free raw material but it insists, through the tariff it maintains upon the articles manufactured from it, that the labor which is expended upon it in converting it to the uses of the market shall be American and not Canadian labor. Every thoughtful citizen will recognize the importance of tlie lum ber industry to the State of Maine, and must certainly appreciate the fact that any law which, by giving Canada tree access to the great American market, would tend to remove into the Dominion the paper mills, the pulp mills and the sawmills which are now doing business in the State of Maine, would be a body blow' at the prosper ity of all our citizens. It is the limitation of the free trader that he is never able to look upon the commun ity in its entirety. We are all more or less interdependent in our business and social relations and any policy which tends to strike down and destroy any great industry of our State can not fail to exert an unfavorable af fect upon tiie prosperity of its citi zens. As tiie Journal has frequently stab d, the foremost interest of the State of Maine is unquestionably agriculture and it is to tiie credit of the Dingle? tariff law that it clearly reeognizeil this fact by affording the products o! our farms ample protection to insure them against disastrous competition from across tiie Canadian line. The value of the farm products of tills State as given by the last census was $37,113,496. Next to agriculture the greatest in dustry of Maine, and the one which puts into circulation the most money among its citizens, is the allied lum ber, wood pulp and paper industry whose combined product for the ye.at 1900 as given by the last census, was $36,713,070. It is entirely safe to say that the next census will show a very large increase in tiie value of tiie farn products of our State and a propor tionately large increase in the money put into circulation by tiie wood lumber, pulp and paper industry. Con fining ourselves, however, to the lig ures of the last census, which ore tlie latest ones at hand, it will readily bt seen that to put manufactured lumber wood pulp and paper upon the free list would he a ruinous blow at n great Maine industry which as fai hack as the last census was putting out an annual product of nearly $37. 000,000. A large part of the money thus brought to Maine went into tht pockets of the farmers of this State in payment of their products consumer hy the army of men employed in thesr industries, and into the general chan nels of local trade. As shown by tlu last census, no less than $32,-173*100 was then invested in the lumber, pulp and paper plants of this State. There were then S73 of these establishments. Since then the number has largely increased They employed, in 1900, 11,685 men, and had annual pay rolls aggregating $4,795,976. In addition to these regulai pay rolls they had miscellaneous ex penses, including the services of ma chinists, painters, carpenters, roofers masons and men of other trades whose wages aggregated for the yeat 1900, $1,008,037, making the grand tota paid out for labor in the State ol Maine that year $5,704,013. Theii products constituted a large element in the prosperity of our railroads and transportation companies—greatly in creasing the number of men employed by them. Now it must bo remembered thal this large army of workers and this large outlay of money to the laboring men of our State represented only the expenditures at the mill plants them selves. Bark of them an even larger array of labor was engaged in getting out the products of the forests and driving them down the streams and rivers. Unfortunately the census gives us no figures as to the exact number of such men, but practical lumbermen say that 14.900 would be a very conservative estimate. To the wages paid these men we must add th«> provisions required to feed ticin and their horses and which have \l ways furnished un important and va uable market to farmers in those sGiV tions of the State adjoining our timber resources. A fair estimate of the wages and maintenance of these woods crews and their teams would amount to at least $4,500,000 annually. Tiles figures will convey to thoughtful citi zens something of the importance of these great industries to the life, an.I growth, and prosperity of the State of Maine, and will suggest the disastrous results that would follow any legisla tion designed to turn over to the Do minion of Canada these important business interests of our State. Here we have employed in the lumber, wood pulp, and paper business an army of more than 25,000 wage workers with wages aggregating more than $10,000, 000 a year, practically all of which goes into circulation through the channels of trade here in Maine to become a part and parcel of the prosperity of our State. I5ut Mr. Iiryan and Ids friends tell us that if we had free lumber and free pulp and paper from Canada we could buy all these tilings cheaper. Un questionably, tills would l>e so, hut they must recognize also the fact that these cheaper prices would only lie se cured at the expense of a great vita! industry of the State of Maine, turn ing nut an annual product of more than $27,000,000, employing 25,00(1 work ing men, citizens of Maine, and ex pending annually in our midst foi wages ylong amounting t more than $10,000,000. Certainly there is no reader of the Journal who could possibly have any more selfish interests involved ii: this proposition than the Koimebei Journal would have if it were disposed to look out upon the prosperity of its State from that narrow standpoint. Wf men who are earning their living, directly anil in directly, out of the great allied lum ber, pulp and paper industries of thi. State. Of what advantage would it be to us, therefore, to be able to se cure cheaper paper through free trrik methods that would mean the impov erishing of ;i large number of out subscribers? We had rather pay more for our paper and have the great al lied lumber, pulp and paper industries of our State continue here under the protective tariff, free from the wither ing effects that would follow unre stricted Canadian competition. Wc would rather see the 25,000 men now engaged in this industry in our State employed upon this side of the line than to see them employed upon the Canadian side, and we would ratlin see tlie $10,000,000 a year which these allied industries put into circulation it Maine in wages continue to he put into circulation in this State than to he able to secure our white paper from Canada even tit. hall tlie price we are now paying for it, fot we tire firmly of the opinion that anj decrease in price which wc should evet get through the sacrifice of Maine in du?try and Maine prosperity wouie never lie of any permanent benefit ti us. Indeed, we are firmly of tin opinion that any temporary advantagi that we might get in such a waj would he a hundredfold offset bv tin impoverishment of thousands of ntet w ho are today among our patrons. I-ct us recall the fact that in advoca ting free lumber, and pulp, and papet Mr. Bryan and the Democratic p.'.rij were addressing themselves particu larly to those sections of the countrj in which they were planning to niaki their biggest fight and which arc con sumers rather than producers of thesi products. We go on record unhesi tatingly in asserting our sincere belie: that next to the destruction of out great agricultural interests in thh State, the greatest blow that conli possibly be struck tit the material wel fare of Maine would be the demoralisa tion of our great allied lumber, puli and paper interests by putting then into unrestricted competition with tin saw mills, the pulp mills and the papci mills of Canada. Koosevelt s Indorsement of Taft. Tpon receiving news of the nomina tion of Secretary Taft for the Presi dency, President Koosevelt said: “I feel that the country is indeed tft the Maine coast by Captain Snowman and Dexter Nelson lias been sold to tiiree Bath men for $230. The new owners are planning to take the turtle to Bangor next week for the big fair. A Portland woman is the proud pos sessor of tt belt valued tit $S,000. It was found by iter husband at the home of a rajah in Calcutta when he was visiting there and purchased by him. The belt is made of threads of solid gold, most skilfully woven. The buckle is one large piece of gold and upon it are 1.S3 diamonds, 17 rubles and emeralds. The gold in the belt alone tipped the jeweler’s scales at O'K) pennyweights and is of 14 karats. The jewels are the most elaborate ever seen in Maine on one article. The center jewel is :tii opal weighing 20 karats. The opal is surrounded by 4.1 diamonds each one of a karat weight, a size suf ficient to make a respectable setting for an ordinary ring. In each corner of the buckle is a horseshoe formed by rubies and within the rubies is a Hungarian opal. Tite selectmen of Georgetown have already paid out over $3,000 toward expenses incurred by the forest fires last month and (lie bills are not yet all in. it is believed that the total ex pense for labor alone will be $3,000. The act util damage to timberlunds and woodlands was more titan this amount. A unique celebration was held at Otter Brook Farm, North Harpswell last week when a; large new wharf and three new bAhing houses were dedicated.

Bangor News: People are warned by the police department to look out for two men, representing themselves to be in the employ of the telephone com pany, who are going about pretending to be workmen sent to repair the tele phone. They visited a house on lower Main street, Wednesday. There are two families living in the house, one upstairs and one down, and the men inquired if there was anybody at home in the upper tenement. On being told that there was no one there, they said that they had been sent by the com pany to repair the wires in the house and were admitted. The woman living upstairs came in unexpectedly and found them working on the wires. The telephone was in perfect order and Bhe ordered them out of the house. Later she communicated with the office of the New England Tel. Tel. Co. and describing (he men, was told that no such men were employed by the com pany, and that they had not been sent to her home. She later communicated with the police and they are on the watch for the men. A good story, where the joke was on the members of the old Milford Are department, has just come to light. It seems that in the olden days the hand tub was kept in tile same building with the road machine. One night •luring the absence from the city of Chief Longley, while Assistant Chief Fred O'Connell was in command, there came an alarm from Bradley, the husky fire laddies ran to the sta tion and dragged what they supposed was the hand tub towards the scene of the fire. The thermometer regis tered about 6 degrees below zero and the fire fighters ran hard to keep warm. When in sight of the fire, the big thing they were hauling got stuck in a snow bank about three feet deep and when they went to disengage it they found to their consternation that they had the road machine instead of the hand tub.' They cursed the weather and each other but there was nothing to do but hike back after the hand tub. When they returned the buildings were in ashes. So ended tne tale of the road machine and how it became stuck in the snow near Bradley. Somerset Reporter: Henry Canon brings to this office a piece of colonial serip, of the face value of nine pence, issued by the colony of Pennsylvania in 1777. It is the property of his daughter, Mrs. Lilia M. Keinath of New York City, having been preserved in the family of her husband for several generations. Its Imprint is as follows: (Face) “To counterfeit is death. Nine Pence. Philadelphia. Printed by John Dun—. 177. Nine Pence. (Back) Nine Pence. This bill shall pass current for nine pence according to act of general assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the twentieth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven. Dated the seventh day of April, A. D. 1777. Nine Pence.” There is nothing about the bill to prevent any printing shop from readily duplicating them and it Is likely the inability of the government to print a scrip in a manner to prevent conterfelting made it necessary to print upon this issue the terrifying warning above noted, "To Counterfeit is Death.” This scrip doubtless con stitutes at the present time a legal demand against the State of Pennsyl vania or against the United States government, but Its owner would not part with It for many times Its face value. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. Mr. Bryan’s Trick Mule. (Portland Press.) Mr. Bryan has received the gift of a trick mule. He should beware of tlie trick mule. He may look it in the mouth If he wants to—the proverb re lates to the horse and not to the mule —but he should keep away from the business end. He had a trick mule, in 1896. His name was Sixteen to One, and it bucked and threw him. He had another in 1900, called Anti Imperlallsm. This also threw him. He wants a name for the present ac quisition, which has a reputation as a bucker. Call It Popular Rule. uemocratic Mud-Slinging Methods Making Republican Votes. (I.ewiston Journal.)

It is not by your assertions, but by your acts, that you are judged. That you are Unitarian or Trinitarian in your belief counts less than that you are a good man in life. Religion is not an ab tract philosophy, but a living force. It is not dogma, but deed. It may be fostered in a church, but it must be fulfilled in a character. Never parrot your belief,—who cares what you be lieve? Go live it. The world will judge your religion by you, and by you only. REPUBLICAN CO.
