Beer in Maine.
An increase in the consumption of Malt
liquors, and falling off of hard liquors.

An increase In the consumption of Malt
liquors, and q falling off of hard liquors.
WASHINGTON, DEC. 3. From evil
dence in the possession of the internal
revenue commissioner, Mr.. Yerkes,
there is plainly a large increase i'll the
consumption of beer and malt liquors
in Maine, although it is possible that
the consumption of stronger stuff like
whiskey and rum is falling off.
The federal government, during the
last fiscal year, issued licenses to 331 re.
tailers of malt liquors in the State of
same article. Both these figures are
fiscal year, when the number of licenses
to retailers of malt liquors in the State
was 2S1 and the number of licenses to
wholesalers was "a. So far as anything
is made public at the treasury depart
ment in this city, one has no way of
knowing accurately the quantities OF
malt liquors that these dealers sold. In
any event there has been a rush of
dealers to engage in the business.
AS for the stronger intoXicants, or
spirituous liquors, licenses were issued
to Maine retail dealers last year in the
number of 1,033 men, as against 1,151
for the previous fiscal year. 1t may be
that many of the dealers in intoxicants
went out of that business to deal in
malt liquors, but only the private books
of the internal department would show
that accurately. The wholesalers of
spirituous liquors in Maine last year
were IS, where there were only % in the
twelve months preceding.
There has been some falling off in
the number of special taxpayers in
Maine, but this is to be accounted form
part by reason of the repeal of some of
the internal revenue laws passed dur
ing the Spanish war. The number of
special taxpayers in Maine last fiscal
year, including the malt and spirituos
liquor licenses already mentioned was
2,595. The previous year the number

Newspaper Notes.

The December issue of The Maine Ten
perance Record appears in new dress, and
makes very neat appearance.
In place of the Phillips Phonograph we
now have two weeklies, the Maine Woods
devoted to shooting and fishing, and the
Maine Woodsman, local newspaper for
Phillips and the Rangeley region. That
both weeklies fill the bill hardly need be
said.
We have received No. | Vol. l. of the
Brunswick Record, an eight page weekly
newspaper, James A. Cook editor, John III.
Cunning business manager. Its aim is ''to
promote the interests of Brunswick and to
furnish to the people a first-class newspa-
per- The initial number indicates that
this will be done. Politically the Record
is to be classed as Independent Republican.
The Trade Press List is, as its name i'm
plies, list of the trade publications of the
world, and no small amount of labor must
be involved in compiling it. Carefully re-
vised and published monthly at 80 Central
street, Boston, this list must be- of practical
value in many ways, and with the breezy
comments of the editor, Rooert Mitchell
Floyd, it interests the general reader as
well. The writer has most pleasant recol-
ections of Mr.. Floyd as a travelling COM
panion, and hopes at no distant day to meet
him on the Pandora, OF some other Pullman,
bound for Omaha and Yellowstone Park.

propriety of buying the stone all crush

Canadian "Free Fish"

Americans have cause to fear Cana
dian competition. The Canadians
can prosecute the industry much more
advantageously than the Americans.
The fishermen along the coast can Sc
cure fresh fish every day with their
small boats and ship it by train across
the border, so that it may be on sale in
New York within twenty-four hours
The Canadians are also helped
by their less expensive methods of fish
ing Their vessels, outfits, and upkeep
are cheaper, aud their crews receive
less wages, so that they would handicap
the Americans not a little from this
cause. They operate about third
cheaper than the Americans and they
have sum of S1SO,000 distributed
among them i'll fishing Dounties every
year. 1t is certain, therefore, that if
the United States tariff did not "pro-
tect" the home catch there would be
much more Canadian fish marketed in
New England.-P r. McGrath in the

IN BRIEF. 1t has been Miss Helen
Gould's custom to give every employee
on her Tarrytown estate a fine turkey
for Thanksgiving dinner No turkeys
were given by Miss Gould this year, but
each received barrel of kerosene oil,
an oil stove, a barrel of potatoes, a
barrel of flour and quantity of bacon.
The substitution was heartily welcom-
ed by the employees, because of the
difficulty of obtaining fuel at reason
able prices and because of the higher
price of all foodstuffs. There was no
Thanksgiving dinner at Woody Crest,
as all of the children maintained by
Miss Gould are at Roxbury, N. Y,
where fine banquet was served them.

zens and sprinkling Of distinguished
Englishmen and women participated
in the annual Thanksgiving dinner at

California
Waters Of Life

SPECIAL REPORT BY A WATER EX.
PERT, who examined the springs OF Utah, Ne
vada and California in the interest OF an ONO
institution, says the finding OF
IsHAM SPRINGS
and the nature OF that water was a wonderful
discovery and a valuable acquisition to the ma
terra medica. They are located on the northern
spur OF San Miguel Mountain, about thirteen
miles d slant from the City of San Diego, Cal.
The waters flow out of the side of a HILL which
is crowned with heavy strata of chalky deposit.
Unlike other spring waters, that continually
form calcareous deposits and incrustatons which
require removing, or If ferruglnOuS and sulphur
GUS constantly cover the watts with slime these
waters flow over the solid rock without showing
the least stain of accumulation of any deposit,
the waters remaining any length of time perfect
ly clear.
The medicinal quality is an antacd and where
alkaline lotions are used IN fevers or cutaneOus
diseases warm or cold, this water has no rival.
Salt Rheum in aggravated cases, with proper
attention to the drinking and using externally,
must yield to its healing Influences
Patients suffering from gastric catarrh acid
dyspepsia will find by its proper use tendency
to properly acidulate the jnices of the stomach,
to remove abnormal coating and bring live tissue
into action.
Also persons from same cause or from i'm
proper digestion or unSOund teeth have offensive
breath, so much so to render them timid about
close conversation, will find the use of these
waters a garge and drink render the breath
pure, sweet and wholesome.
Persons in good health will find no better dem
tif1ce, as the water quietS fermentation and de-
strOys parasite growth

that-let us hope so for the sake of the

there is nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsa,
