Kennebec Ice.

For many years past prior to thu
present, on the first of March, the sur.
face of the Kennebec river from Halo
we'll to Richmond has been thiekly
populated with men and teams busily en-.
gagged in cutting and storing ice for ship
ment to southern cities when the heat o,
summer approaches. This year, a ride
along the bank of the kennebee, March
LIST, shows an entire absence of ice cut.
ting and storing operations to the great
disadvantage of business and labor along
the river. The same condition prevails
although to not the same extent, ir
other parts of Maine.
Inquiry as to the cause Of this
condition Is not unnatural or In
appropriate. The American Ice Com
pany, the greati New York ice trust
is the cause of the entire abandonment
of the Maine ice fields of which it has q
monopoly. But for the acquiring OF
these ice fields and houses by this CON-
pany, there is little doubt but fair crop
of ice would have been harvested in
Maine this season. We believe, how.
ever, in "Giving the Devil his due" and
it is but fair to say that in any event the
ice cut in Maine, this year, would not
have been up to the average. The in.
creased use of ice producing machines in
warmer ATTITUDES, the large crop on the
Hudson and the amount left over In
Maine ice houses, would have discourag
ed extensive ice operations, this season,
even had the American Company not
been factor In the case.
A theory advanced by an Augusta
man that the American Ice Company
abandoned its Maine ice fields, this year,
because the Maine legislature, two years
ago, declined to grant charter for the
large capital the company desired, we dc
not credit. The ice trust is business
cooperation and sentiment is not likely
to enter into its business schemes The
company could get an abundance OF
cheaper ice on the Hudson at lower
rates, and will serve its customers with
the Hudson product at larger profit.
Even interior towns like Skowhegan will
be likely to feel the effect of the small
shipment of ice from Maine in the in.
creased price OF coal. Heretofore favor.
able rates have been obtained on coal
shipped by vessel to certain Maine ports
by reason of a certainty of return
cargo of ice. We have, however, got
used to high coal and may hot so keenly
realize it as we would have done in
former years.

They have been the bridges over which

proud of the state of Maine to-day. Is

The Men of Mexico.

at is curious" writes a City of Mex
leo correspondent of the Boston Her
aid, what contrasts there are among
the young men of the land Out on the
haeiendas and ranches you find sturdy
young fellows much on horseback and
expert with the rope and as skillful in
riding as the CossackS of the Don.
These young men are the hope of Mex
leo. Often tall, broad shouldered and
vigorous, they will be the fathers of
healthy children and keep the Mexican
nation alive. From men of this sort
the cities are recruited, and their de
scendants will be the ruling men Of
the country. They. too, are romantic.
but with a difference. They are too
healthy to become aesthetic. and yet
the women who marry them will be
happier than as the mates of the poets
whose fine fancies thrill the feminine
heart"

Portland Press: While we do not
think that the operations of Mrs. Nation
are calculated to produce a lasting cure
for the evils which they are directed
against, and they may be questionable
from moral standpoint. but she is prob
ably not guilty of any legal offence.
Kansas saloons are outlawed, and only
exist by reason Of the Indifference, or
worse, of the officers whose business it
is to enforse the law. A situation seems
to have grown up in that state similar to
that which existed all over Maine up to
the time OF the recent prohibition re-
vival. Mrs. Nation Is undertaking to do
what 1t Is the business of the officers to
do-suppress an outlawed evil. The
trouble with her way of doing it is that
1t is likely to bring other evils quite as
bad as those she is trying to extinguish.

call it all disease, regardless of names,
and expel it from blood and tissues,

lung tissue is sure of reconstruction
by nature. All bronchial affections
arise from poisonous irritations.
None can fail to realize the fact that the
microbe or animalcule cannot germ
mate, for vigorous sloughing of lung
tissue, when magnetic power and
electrical heat runs high, by brisk
circulation of pure blood. Like ca
tarrh, of every internal surface, the
blood MUST and CAN be renovated,
before NATURES healing and cure is
possible.
Your inquiry as to the aid found in
flushing the bowel or colon, | take
pleasure in answering. | find that in
constipated cases the cascade doubles
my force in cleaning out the corrupt
secretions from which the absorbents
are continually supplying the blood
with poisonous elements of disease
for deranging the entire system. The
inf1ammatory condition induced by
the foul secretions, dries or burns out
the moisture, thus preventing free
exit from the bowel before decompo-
sition. Nature wisely arranged for
free secretion and exeretion, but
there are many reasons for the defeat
of her plan, which little care on the
part of the sufferer would prevent.
The 100000 little sewers in the skin
are subject to constipation, which
ANIDROSIS FUMING and BATHING
amply provides for, but by this annex
great victory over disease has been
added to this invention.
The best evidence | can present as
to the efficacy of my method is To
refer you to the efforts to initiate by
rubber cabinets, now advertised,
without the medical supplies for
Fuming and Bathing, which are
like Maxim's gun minus am
munition. We're it not for its efficacy
which creates a demand, none would
care to initiate. Some of the mex
perienced are advocating head or
face sweating attachments. 1t is
evident that they do not realize the
dangers of inhaling the poisonous
gases forced from diseased sweating
bodies without Anidrosis Disinfec-
ton. The efforts now made to secure
these supplies go TO prove that those
who believed sweating accomplished
this humane beneflcence are f asst
learning their mistake. The coagu-
late mass of corrupt matter Must and
Can be dissolved by this tuning, as
sweating alone can never do!

To the distressed of Skowhegan, Me.

To the distressed of Skowhegan, Me-:
hereby declare that cancer (if
not fatally advanced) has but one
rational means of cure, and that is to
clear the blood of virus that caused
its development. Sloughing away
the liberated tissue, a hope of cure,
is lust as absurd as to undertake to
confiscate a neighbours living spring
by hauling away the sand through
which the water flows. 1t must be
plain to all that when the system be-
comes clogged by coagulate matter,
it is impossible for the blood to clear
itself of poisonous virus, thus Undue
ing the various distressing symptoms
and lower the magnetic power and
vital warmth, upon which health de-
pends To dissolve and disinfect, for
secretion and excretion, is no trivial
matter, as would-be imitators of
