STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting of Governor and Council, Tuesday, Oct. 25, 7.30 P. M.
Many Inquiries have been received
at the office of the State Highway
Commission relative to the dale of
the closing of the long bridge between
Wiscasset and Kdgecomb, in Eincoln
county.
The Highway Commission desires
to state that the bridge will not be
closed until everything is in readiness
to make the repairs in the shortest
possible time.
The lumber for this job has been
ordered from Southern mills, long
leaf yellow pine being specified 'for
all of the work. The lumber Is ready
for shipment, ‘but the vessel which
was chartered more than a month
ago has not yet arrived at the point
of loading.
The commission will give about a
week's notice before the bridge is
closed to traffic.

GEORGE C. CRAINE RECOVERS
EAST PEERING, N. H.—Mr.
George C. Craine, one ot the most
popular residents of this town, states
that he suffered for a good many
years with a most distressing form of
stomach trouble. This brought on a
weakness, nervousness and finally
more or less rheumatism, all probably
capeed from the blood being in a poor
state. Mr. Craine had his attention
called to the need of Iron in the
blood. He procured the genuine
IRON-LAX-TONIC, the Iron with a
laxative. After taking (4) bottles he
claims to be as well as ever, and is
on his feet again. Nearly all leading
druggists now sell Iron-T.ax-Tonif’.
There are many Iron preparations on
the market mixed with this, that and
the other thing, so one should be
careful to remember the name and
get the genuine 1 ron-1 .ax-Tonlc.
This puts iron in the blood that
makes you feel full of energy and
vim, at the same time is beneficial to
the stomach and bowels. Even after
you get on your feet and feel fine,
it is a good idea to keep on taking
the tablets a little while, so as to
build up a reserve strength in the
blood. Buy it today at all the leading
druggists. If your druggist cannot
supply you, send $1.00 and we will
send them post paid. Address Tan
tagne laboratories, I.owell, Mass.—

made by Arthur T„ Thayer, chairman
of the Industrial Accidents Commis
sion :
Ln the case of Regina Di Carol is,
dependent of his son, James Di Caro
lis, diseased employe, vs. the Ban
croft fc Martin Rolling Mills Co., nnd
the Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.,
insurers, awarding compensation.
The petition states that James Di
Carolis while working for the Ban
croft & Martin Rolling Mills Co.,
Dec. L’O, 1920, attended two ma
chines used for rolling bars of iron.
His work was to take from one ma
chine and pass to the other. Be
cause of some miscalculation of time
upon his part or that of another, a
her of lint iron left one machine, to
ward which Carolis was not yet at
tendant, piercing his side. Death
resulted August 4. 19111.
In the case of Mrs. Amy Johnson of
Auburn \s. the Cushmnn-Hollis Co.
and the Travelers Insurance Co., in
surers, den\ing compensation. The
petitioner claims that her lungs were
infected caused by the irritation of
powder from the spray.
“In the case at bar, there is no
doubt but that the petitioner suf
fered a personal injury, but to what
event or accident can it be attribut
ed,” says the decision. “Kor two
and r. half years she had performed
exactly the same kind of work,
spraying lasts. For two and a half
years she had breathed the chalk
spray in varying degrees perhn.ps,
but always more or less whenever
she worked in that room.
“The discovery of the tubercular
condition cannot be said to be an ac
cident, that was the injury itself.
N'o cause of the tubercular condition
in this ense, if there were any single
definite cause, or even a definite con
tributing cause, so far as the evi
dence shows, comes within the defi
nition of the word ‘accident1 which
can in any way be connected with
her work.
“The very fact that for two and one
half years the petitioner continued
at this same kind of work without
unfavorable results indicates quite
conclusively that the tubercular con
dition was brought about in anything
but a sudden and unexpected man
ner, or in fact any. manner within the
well defined requirements necessary
to constitute an accident.”
H. A. Day’s Death Was Due
To His Own Carelessness
The Public Utilities Commission in
a decision rendered Tuesday in the
matter of the accident which sccuried
at Waldoboro Sept. 5 last, resulting in
the death of H. A. Day, says that his
death was caused by his own care
lessness in unnecessarily putting him
self into this place of danger.
“H. A. Daw of Waldoboro, aged 46
years, has been employed by the
Central Maine Power Co. as a com
mon laborer to dig post holes and had
worked for that company four days
prior to Sept. 5, 1921,” says the de
cision. “On the morning of Sept. 5
he went out with the crew to go to
work but it being Labor Day, the
crew decided not to work on that day
and Mr. Day returned to his home.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon of
Sept. 5. Mr. Day got a pair of climb
ers which belonged to his son, and
went across the road, from his house
and climbed to the top of a pole of
the Central Maine Power Co., which
carried 4400 volt high tension power
line.
“Herbert Standish, who had been
out hunting, was coming down this
road about this time, heard Mr. Day’*
voice and looked up and saw him
near the top of the pole about 150
feet distant from ' where he was
standing at the time. Just as he saw
him he noticed a lot of smoke coming
from his body and saw Day fall from
the pole to the ground. Mr. Stand
ish found him lying on the ground,
face downward, and put his hand over
his heart but could not feel any
movement, and notfced that his face
was black. There was a bad burn on
his right hand, which was closed.
“Mr. Standish immediately notified
Day’s wife and son, and Dr. D. D.
Mayo of Waldoboro was summoned
and succeeded in reviving Mr. Day
after about half an hour. Mr. Day,
however, died from the effects of this
injury at noon on Sept. 14, 192J.
“The company was not doing any
work upon this power line at the
place where this accident occurred
and Mr. Day had no occasion to climb
this pole as he did.”
Armistice and Dis
armament Proclama
tion by Gov. Baxter
Coy. Baxter Tuesday issued a
proclamation designating Friday,
Nov. 11, 1*21, as Armistice and Dis
armament Day in tire State of Maine.
“Armistice Day, 1921, has a two
fold significance, it commemorates
the end of the greatest war in his
tory and marks the beginning of the
most promising step ever taken
towards ultimate world peace,” says
Gov. Baxter in the proclamation.
“The day is dawning when prep
arations for war must cease, for the
world can no longer endure the
strain of competing armaments,”
continues the proclamation.
"If ambition, distrust and the sel
fish interests of men and nations are
thrust aside at the Disarmament
Conference that opens on N'ov. 11th,
that day will forever he heralded as
1 he most momentous day in the
world’s history. This gathering of
statesmen holds in trust unlimited
possibilities for the good of the
world.
“1 urge the people oP our state to
recall Hie sacrifices made by those
who died and those who suffered in
the World's War. and to pause and
give serious ihought (o the problems
it is hoped will be solved at the ap
proaching conference.
“Let I bin day lie obser ved through
out the sf?ite hy sojemn and impres
sive ceremonies in our schools,
lourts.nnd homes, and let our cit
izens join with The American T.e
rion in making this day worthy to
tie remembered in Maine's history.”

aided Colonel Norton materially in
the organization of the unit. Lieut.
Col. Buker is extremely popular as

friends and acquaintances in all
parts of Maine.
Butler Veteran of 26th
Major Walter K. Butler of Rock
land. temporary commanding officer
of coast artillery, is a veteran of the
26th Division and has heen a coast

ous schools and encampments of the
troops during the past summer.
At, the present time the table of
organization of the Maine Coast Ar

lieutenant colonel, there being hut
five companies federally recognized,
and neither Col. Norton nor Lieut.
Col. Buker had received federal
recognition. A recently organized

Rarely has there been so much in

season for .u years on the st ice and
.ts appealing heart interest will al

Played by the eminent actor. Dan
Sully, who has been seen in it year
after year in nearly every city and
town that contains a thiatre, "The
Parish Priest" is associated in Hie
minds of Americans with "Rip Van

sure-fire successes that contain
tears and laughter plus that un
known something for which all dra
matists strive and so few discover.
l’s characters are as well-known
to the average person as ’ T.iltlc Kva”

I The association of a certain per
: fume with a person so that a mere '
' whiff of the perfume will not only
j iera 11 the person but bring up many

i common occurrence.
It is such an occurrence as this
; that gives the title ‘‘Heliotrope” to
i the new Paramount picture which
will be the feature attraction at the
Augusta Opera house on Friday and

The eentral figure is a convict—-a
‘lifer”—who before the days of his
i imprisonment was known as llelio
. Pope Harry, from ' is fondness for
wearing a sprig of heliotrope In his
