dark shadows appear under her eyes
her sleep is disturbed by horrible

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny Of Men-The influence o'
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-eighths OF the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty In
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
Of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very nelghts
Of ambition; because OF
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her headl A sickly, half
dead-and-alive won a n,
especially when she is
the mother of q family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con-
slant illness is a serious

Death of Mrs. Bates.

"Aunt Polly" Bates, "a she was IA
milisrly known to all the oldest lady 10
Fairfield Center, died at the home of her
son, w, X. Morrow, at Fairfield Center,
at o'clock, Friday morning. Aunt
| Polly had been In excellent health until
within few days, when she met with a
bad accident, breaking one of her limbs,
aud she had since rapidly failed. She
would have been 100 years old II she had
lived until next May.
Mrs. Bates Was born in Darlington,
y. H., in May, 1905, and WAS the daugh-
ter OF HeZ hkiah O Is, who came to Fair
field Center and settled on what Is now
known as DIS Hill. on the back road
from Watervlle to Norridgewoe6i when
Mrs. Bates was In her eighth year. She
came with her mother and the other
children in pung, and her father took
along the household goods with an OK
team She WAS the last one Of the fam
ilv of IL children. Her long and uu-
eyentfu life was all passed in the town
of Fairfield, and her home WAS within II
few miles Of where her father settled.
She was twice married. Her first hus.
band, to whom she was married when
ahout 20 years of age, WAS John Morrow,
bv whom 10 children were born, seven
boys and three daughters. The seven
boys all grew to manhood, and three are
now living, John at Larone, Joshua al
California and w X. at Fairfield Center.
After Mr.. Merrow's death she married
the late John Bates, who died about 30
wears ago, and she never again married.
since the death OF her last husband she
passed the most of her time with her son
and his family at Fairfield Center.
Mrs Bates was q remarkably well
preserved woman, and retained her fac
ultios to a marked degree, and up 10 the
last, was active, both In mind and body.
For the past two years her eyesight had
been failing her. so that she had not
| been able o do much Work OF any kind,
but previous to that time, she had KEPT
herself very busy with knitting and sew
ing aud was considered III expert in both
these lines of work Oaly few winters
ago she knit 30 pairs of mttens. Her
mother taught her to spin WHEN she was
but eight years of age. Up to three
years ago no season passed but she did
more or less work at the spinning wheel,
period of So years.
Although living for 30 years within
sound of the locomotive whistle, Mrs.
Bates was never on a railroad train, and
only one trip of any considerable dis
tarce from home did she make after she
came to Fairfield, 81 years ago. About
! 10 years ago, while living with her sec
| end husband, she accompanied him on II
visit to friends in Garland, and while
here took u drive 10 Bangor. Ibis Yisil
she told of as an important event in her
life.
Mrs. Bates was a very agreeable and
pleasant woman TO meet and converse
with, and up 10 the time of her accideu.,
Was considered TO be in good health.

Livestock in Maine.

The annual report Of the Maine catti'
commissioners estimates that the llV
stock of the Safe is valued at about SIG
900 600 divided as follows: Cattle, 300
600, a $40 each, SG,000,000; horses, S6,0OO,-
600; SWINE and sheep, nearly $4,000, 900
About II 600 head, or $500, 900 worth Of
Maine cattle are sold in Massachusetts
markets annually. There are in Maine
about 200, 900 mich cows, from which
the farmers obtain yearly gross incomt
OF $40 each, making total of IS, 900, 600,
besides the income from young stock and
beef cattle.
In 1903 the commissioners condemned
and killed 23l cattle and AZ horses, ana
in 1904 they likewise disposed of 440 cat
tie aud SO horses, making total OF 1888
head of diseased stock killed in the tw"
years. The expense to the State was
S27, l50.53, an average of $33.98 per
head, of which the owners received, Oh
the average. $2207 per head, the remain =
der representing the expense. The mp
preparation for the two years was $40,
600 with $1,000 additional for expenses
incurred in keeping the foot and mouth
disease out of the State, so that there is
a deficiency OF more than SO 900 to BE-
provided for. About 81, 200 was expent-
ed in precautions against the foot AID
mouth disease, which has not yet Az
peared in Maine. The commissioner :
recommend that, in view of the preva.
lenee of CHAMBERS in Massachusetts and
elsewhere, all horses entering Main
from other States should be examined
upon arrival, and, If found to be all cted
with the disease, sent back to the State
from which they come or else be des-
troyed.

Regarding the Brown Tail Moth.

The experiment station at the Univer-
slty OF Maine is doing a good service in
calling the attention OF the people 10 lhe
danger rom the threatened Invasion Of
the brown tail moth. 70 BE- suiedy Coz
rect, however, that word threa eoed
should be dro 5ped as The pes has alre4de
made its appearance 10 the sta and
seems i be spreading with more or less
rapidlty along the railroads, In lines of ad-
vance which had not been anticipated.
A bulletin recently issued from the ex-
pertinent station poutS out the gfeat daa-
ger from this moth d, compared with the
caterpnlars which, at intervals OF a few
years. appear in such hordes and destroy
the orch ards. The brown all mo h, ua-
like the caterpillar has no na,ural enemies
sufficiently developed to hold IT in check,
and fighting by mans unaided effort i,
the only way OF subdung it.
Only one practical method of fighting
the insect is suggested by the station, and
that calls for the individual cooperation OF
every cliizen in collecting the winter nests
and burning them. II every one of these
nests is burned, of course the insect is eX
terminated Such plan may be pracu-
hopeessnesS that impresses one. In
times of an invasion OF Caterpilars some
farmers in the spring picked large quanti-
ties of the punches of eggs from their fruit
trees, but few of them were rewarded by
seeing their orchards even reasonably tx
empt from the pest in the summer. The
brown tail is not confined to fruit trees.
but ranges over a wide variety OF vegela-
ton, and an attempt TO overcome him by
this method appears Ike dipping up the
Atlantic with bucket.
The experiment station has issued an J.
Illustrated bulletin (Io8), giving desetip-
ton of the progress OF the pest and !. l.
also issueing placardS for posting giving a
picture OF the winter nest which are found
inside of two or three leaves o ned to-
gether, as shown in the illustrations. A
picture gives some idea of the appear
ance of the thing, but an actual nest
would be much more valuable as an OBJ
iect lesson. To distribute good nests for
purposes of illustration would be some
Ike circulating cholera germs 10 unsealed
vials for purposes of study; bu If here is
any method by which the catetpillarS
could de destroyed without materially
affecting the appearance OF the nests,
some OF the nests thus rem tered harmless
placed OF exhibition in various places
would furnish means of education which
would be useful a least IN giving warning
of the appearance OF The pes in any new
locality.

that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is the only positive cure now known to the

acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
