Ing lsst, was grand meeting. one of
the best ever held 10 the old hall.
Hon. E. r. Danforth presided and
music was furnished by Maccabee band
and Madison drum and fife corps The
latter was something of novelty In
political meetings here but was much
enjoyed. Three special cars brought a
good number from Madison to increase
the size of the audience.
Hon. William T. Haines of Waterville
was the first speaker giving his attention
largely to state Issues. He replied TO
many of the assertions OF Candidate
Davis effectively reiating them, and
showing up the fallacy OF his argu.
ments of the Saturday evening before IL
good shape.
Hon. Charles B. Landis, congrest
man from Indiana, was the other speaker
and he was one OF the highest grade OF
public political speakers. He held the
audience for an hour after the usual
time for Skowhegan public meetings to
dispense.
He took occasion to speak in high
terms Of Maine men offormer congresses
and of those of today, complmenting
Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh of this district
as man held in the highest esteem at
Washington, one who has little use for
display, but who nevertheless "does
things" He mentioned as one of his
warm friends in Indiana, an editor OF
ability In his state, now gone to his re-
ward, Col. Z. A. Smith, who was former
ly an editor OF the SOMERSET REPORTER,
A bit of advice was given in the course
Of his remarks as follows:
"Don't be be-fogged with the dust OF
local issues. The Democratic party has
been posing as an economic party. That's
joke. In Indiana when the Republican
party came into power they got legacy

Those people who are inclined to look
upon New England Industries as retro
grading, and think that our man ufsctur-
ing industries are going to other sections
Of the country will be surprised to learn
that within the last three years, without
any increase OF mileage whatever, the
Boston & Maine Railroad has shown a
gross increase In business of more than
100000 The "reaction" In New
England has been most unwarrantably
exaggerated. There is certain hest.
fancy on the part of local manufacturers
to increase their outputs during presi-
dental year AM the volume Of merchan.
disc transportation Is affected thereby,
but on the whole men engaged 10 the
transportation business regard the con-
ditions as normal, and there seems 10 be
no diminution In the energy of the pro-
ducers. Under such conditions the rail-
roads, which are indices Of general pros
perity, are on the whole doing very well.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scots
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the Matchmaking organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
