The directors of the Milk Producers
Union held conference with the Port
land Board of Health, Wednesday, Tor
the purpose, of considering the board S
recent order which the mlkmen, IN
their recent mass meeting, voted to d.s-
regard. The directors asked that the
order compelling a testing of every COW
with t,1berculin be amended so that
such test need not be made unless the
veterinary first called to examine COW
deems it necessary. This revision was
made by the health officers. This prac-
tically leaves with the veterinary the
matter of examining cows with tuber-
culin. but he must, however, be APP
proved by the board Of health, or, II nus
work is not satisfactory TO the board,
the approval can be revoked at any
time. The health officers further
agreed to extend to July Is the period
for a compliance with their order
During the closing session of the
Friends New England yearly meeting
at Portland Wednesday, case of d.
vine healing was reported, falling little
short in many respects of some of the
more sensational cases reported at Old
Orchard, last year. Miss Nellie l..
Blair, a confirmed invalid for about u
years, was cured, Saturday, in answer
to prayer in her behalf by Amos Ken
worthy, a Friend, a strong believer in
Divine healing. Miss Blair was afflict-
ed with spinal trouble, believed to be
incurable Last Saturday, she felt in
spired to go to the Friends meeting,
and there listened to Mr.. Kenworthy,
and, with others who desired his pray
ers, she met him after the service
closed She felt herself growing
stronger, the pain leaving her as he
prayed, and then he talked to her on
faith At last he said, Rise up and
walk and she obeyed him. Since thai
time she has been apparently well, and
instead of being an almost helpless in
valid is doing the work for family of
five.
The workmen who are engaged in eX-
Cavating for the new Portland and
Yarmouth road maze Il SreNSolile us
covery, on Tuesday. They We're digging
through bank about five feet higher
than the roadway just beyond the GEM
etery and the Brown chapel on the
Yarmouth road, when they found sew
eral bones of human skeleton, includ-
ing the skull and other bones of a full
grown man. Near by the workmen dug
up a sort of stone wall which looked
as if it had been constructed by man.
There were several other skeletons dis
covered in the vicinity but whether
they We're those of a human being OF
not it could not be told by those who
made the find. Some of the neighbors
in the vicinity say that there was once
an old block house situated where these
bones were found while others claim
that the skeleton was that Of an Indian.
1t is expected that more discoveries of
this nature will be made, and seekers
after Indian relics are haunting the
place where the Italian laborers are at
work.--Portland Press.
