The Boston Transcript has been guilty
many times Of sneering and slurring remarks
concerning the State of Maine These re-
marks have been taken to indicate the super
refined citified ideas that prevail in the
Transcript office; but judging by its refer
ence to the tornado Tuesday, they are made
to cover up ignorance. OF Winthrop the
Transcript says:
Winthrop Is typical New England town of the
oid-iashloned sort, into which the march of i'm
provement has not yet introduced too much of the
Dnght on nature that comes with rapid growth of
population or speedy development of manufacture
ing industry. 1t is a small but thrifty town.
mostly devoted to agriculture, and consequently
not growing place.
1t is odd to hear the Transcript talking
about the blight of growth but that is
nothing compared to the statement that Win
throp is devoted to agriculture" In that
hourishing town is cotton mill, large oil
cloth factory, four shoe shops, three carriage
shops, fiourishing creamery, corn shop, a
tannery, and numerous other manufacturing
establishments all doing good business Con-
sldering these facts it looks odd to one who
knows about Winthrop to see it set down as
mostly devoted to agriculture" Lynn,
Mass, might as we'll be called a "mostly
commercial city,"

All medical authorities agree that ca.

nation of the lining membrane of the ma
sal air passages. Nasal catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are not
diseases of the blood, and it is serious
mistake to treat them as such. No con-
scientious physician ever attempts to dc
so. II is held by eminent medical men
that sooner or later specific will be
found for every disease from which hu-
manity suffers. The facts justify us in
assuming that for catarrh at least a pos-
tive cure already exists in Ely's Cream
