Governor Taft Buying Supplies in For
eisn Countries.
I Washington, Nov. S.--Oct. 90 a cable
message was received at the war de-
partment from Governor Taft staying
that the food situation in the Philip
pines was serious and would be for a
few months, on account of loss of crops,
and that relief was necessary.
The governor suggested the possible
ity of sending a shipload of supplies
from San Francisco or Portland, to, be
purchased by the insular government.
He asked for prices of flour and they
We're sent him at once.
He has made no further request and

make the purchases in this country.

It is counting danger to stand under
icy caves. Not few have learned this
to their cost. Every winter injury and
even death are reported as the result of
this carelessness. But there is a far
more popular way of counting danger.
Every man or woman who neglects a
cough is inviting sickness, and many a
fatal sickness has its beginning in slight
cough.
The timely use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will cure the cough.
Even when the cough is obstinate and
there is hemorrhage with emaciation and
weakness, vGolden Medical Discovery"
always helps and almost always cures.

Perfumes as Dislntectants.

a considerable difference of opinion

site sex pleasing to each other. That

Lancet, calls attention to the fact that
the basis of all perfumes is an essen

and herbs. This oil, it says. is pow

fecting properties as great as carbolic
acid itself. 'The use of scent by

as effemlnate, and yet if we study to
please the eye with colors, the ear by
melodlous sounds, why should we not
please the nose by agreeable and fra

handkerchief, which is where we COM
monty find II, is calculated to exercise a
higher office than merely pleasing the
sense of smell.
lhe Lancet goes on to say that the
handkerchief Is an easy source of iufec-
ton, for it is used to absorb secretions
from the nose and mouth and the
spraying of it with perfume has the eff
fect of destroying the germs in it. ow-

family by checking the spread of infec-
tious germs.

MAINE OLDEST LEGISLATOR
Abner Dunton of Hope Claims that Dis
tinction.

tinction
Among the alters at the Rockland
Jackson Club yesterday, where the
Knox county Democratic committee
was III session, was most remarkable
figure III the person of Abner Dunton
of Hope who may be said to be worthy
for honorary membership in the Jack
son club, Mr.. Dunton having voted for
jackson and for every other Democrtic
president, for that matter, ever since
He can even 60 that one BETTER for his
first vote was cast for John Quincy
Adams for president.
Abner Dunton IS certainly remark
ably well preserved old young man and
he hobnobbed with the committee and
delegates yesterday with the enthus-
lasm OF youth of 21 and strolled about
Rockland's streets sight seeing as if he
had just got his first holiday.
He is small in stature and wore a
high hat. To look at him reading a
paper without glasses and hearing every
word without an effort is certainly a
lesson in physical culture for the fad
dists to study. All the physical culture
Abner DuntOn ever got was on farm
He is a great pedestrian even now.
He said yesterday that last summer he
walked from Hope to Camden, six miles,
Just for a stroll one cool morning, and
another day walked from Hope to Sears

to be in town today and saw the Stars

was told that the boys were holding a
meeting, so just dropped in
Mr.. Dunton told interesting reminis-
ences of Jacksonian days which were
listened to with much interest. His
memory is remarkably clear and he
can recall dates and events with a
readiness that is rather unusual.
Mr.. Dunton represented the town OF
Hope in the Maine legislature in 1S4I-
AZ, and was an intimate friend of the
late Senator Bradbury of Augusta, who
was then member of the legislature
Now that Senator Bradbury is dead
Mr.. Dunton claims to be the oldest liv-
ing member of the Maine legislature,
which is without doubt true. He also
claims, and there are few if any who
can dispute him, that he has voted for
more presidents, from Adams down.
than any man living in the United
States, for he never missed casting his
vote for president
He was born III Hope and always
lived there. He has two sons, one
with whom he lives, and the other
lives in Melrose. Mass, where he is
the editor of paper. His wife died
long since.
His brother, A. II. Dunton, was the
founder of the Duntonian system of
writing, which made him famous years
ago. Abner Dunton never knew an ill
day in his life and thoroughly enjoys
existence and looks forward for the
warm days Of summer
He took special delight in riding on
the trolley cars and went to Camden in
the afternoon. He hopes to be present.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

In society life has its silver lining on
the outside.
Love unadorned by wealth seldom
cheats widow.
Nearly every woman can talk faster
| than she can think.
The frown of woman is the sour
milk of her devotion.
Improvements on nature are seldom
seen in a bathing suit.
The loss of husband has sidetracked
many divorce story,
The virtue of a man thrice married
has an impregnable exterior
If love ran smoothly all the time
women would never be restful
Alimony is the sunshine that bright
ems the saddest hour of marriage.
In the mildew that forms on the crust
OF love there is the germ of a lawyers
fee.
When man stops planting flowers
on his wlfe's grave he is buying suppers
for two.
Homeopathic doses OF atfect1pn make
some women wish one husband could
be three.
Contentment is that measure of hap
plness made by ignorance of what
others enjoy.
Eve never had a debating society in
which there was another woman't to call
her to order
When the budding girl takes to tight
shoes the fit Of her waist is live sub
ject with her.
The reason woman tells such whop-
pers about the rent she pays and how
much it costs her to live is to make
other women think how smart her hus-
band is to make so much money.-New
