Taking Thought for the Morrow.


The duty we owe our children is not
confined to good bringing up, and the
bequeathing to them of an honorable
name. We owe them sturdy constitu-
life with inherited weakness; but most
Of us, seeing all around the evidence of
disregard of this duty in others are in
clined to forget the urgency of it. In
living for our children, we live for our
selves also, and in guarding against the
development of disease we insure rug
ged old age for ourselves and the blessings
of our children. Our lives are trying
to nervous strength, and most people SET
themselves losing ground without being
able to secure efficient help. Nature has
provided the remedies that will keep you
we'll and strong, but only a great and
painstaking specialist can tell you what
they are and just which ones you need.
To those who feel their health slipping
away, and who have been unable to Sc.
cure relief, the world famous physician,
DR.. Greene, discoverer of the great
Nervura, offers consultation free Of all
charge. His office is at "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, and you may call on him
there or write, describing your case and
there will be absolutely no charge for
his experienced advice. He will know
instantly the remedies required to cure
you. Consult him at once.

vision, at their own expense, for the sup
port and maintenance of public schools. -
Under this provision, each town is re-
quired to "raise and expend annually, for
support of schools therein, exclusive of
the income of any corporate school fund
or of any grant from the revenue or
funds from the state, or of any voluntary
donation, devise or bequest, or of any
forfeiture accruing to the use of schools,
not less than eighty cents for each inhabi-
tant according to the census by which
representatives to the legislature were last
apportioned." Our cities tax themselves
largely in excess of these requirements
for the support of schools in their midst,
portland raises more than three times
the statutory amount) and in addition
the attempt Is now made to make them
bear the burdens of the smaller towns.
This is but an entering wedge OF wide-
spread movement to impose upon the
cities and larger towns of the state a tax
for the benefit of other communities, and
can be supported by SO plausible argu-
ments that unless energetically opposed
it is likely to add to the already grievous
burden of taxation which weighs upon
the larger.centers ,of population in our
state. With disproportionate represen-
ia ton In the legislature, the country can
out vote the cities and larger towns, but
the result of such legislation would be to
array the cities against the country, and
to arouse antagonisms which would re-
tard the development and prosperity of
the state.

report:
SECRETARY'S ANNUAL REPORT.
To the Officers and Members of the State
Board of Trade:
l have respectfully to report that from
the latest Information 1 have received
there is now in this State flfty-one organ
lied Boards of Trade, of an aggregate
membership Of about 3.433. after deduct
ing TWO or three suspended organizations.
Of the ffty-one Boards, thirty-two are
accredited in membership with this or
ganization, making the aggregate consti-
uency of this Board about Z, 800 members
according to last returns made up to the
close of this report.
As have previously remarked, the
growth and magnitude of the central Or
ganization would seem to justify the ex-
action Of more prompt and regular pay
ment of annual dues in the future, than
the leniency tolerated in experimental
years of the State Board, which by its
power and influence has created senti-
ment tending to call in to existence local
Boards through all sections of the state.
There are at this time, five times the
number of Boards in this state than there
were at the birth of this organization.
