ExfRAvAGAScEl" SHOUTS DEMOCRACY.
Here is how the States money is spent
80 Tar as this county is concerned. Is there
extravaganza in any particular? Should
any sums be curtsiled. Is not every dol
lar noted here justly demanded by the
eounty's needs and honestly expended
~ not the expenditure justified by legiti-
mate progress3 Yet democracy urges re-
uenehmsnt and assaiis the motives OF
legislatures that have granted these sums!
what OF democracy's business Judgments
democracy is challenged to name one mis-
appropriation, one case of extravaganza.
democracy dares not prejudice its case by
specifying. 1t contents itseifswith pure
ana orazen demagogy- making general al
legations with the hope of fooling some
one out of vote.
why DOES MAINE SPEND MoREy
The taxable wealth OF the people has in
creased, not the rate of taxation. The
rate OF State taxation is two and one half
"iiiis' the lowest it has been in nearly half
seentnry. BY the end of the year the
state viii have reduced the public debt in
ESQ by almost $500, OO0--bringing the total
ueot down TO round million. There are
s-0'o0 in Names treasury seeking State
oonds for purchase before maturity.

Is iesn platform pronounces for equalization

HOW ABOUT HANCOCK COUNTY,

Danger in Delay.
Kidney Diseases are too Dangerous
for Ellsworth People to Neglect.

for Ellsworth People to Neglect.
The great danger OF kidney troubles is
that they get firm hold before the suf-
ferer recognizes them. Health is gradually
undermined. Backache, headache, ner-
vousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago,
urinary troubles, drospy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless sue
cession. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Cure the kidneys with the certain and cafe
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which has
cured people right here in Ellsworth.
A. NJ. Franks, carpenter, Of q High
Street, Ellsworth, Me-, says: "About two
years ago l noticed my back was growing
lame, and as time went on it became
regular thing to have backache, and finally
/ was compelled to lay off from work for
several days. / was in this condition
when got Doan's Kidney Pills. The first
few doses helped me and, when / had
taken couple of boxes, was entirely
cured. This last fall 4contracted cold
which settled in my kidneys and caused
another attack. remembered how Doan's
Kidney Pills had cured me two years ago,
so went to E. G. Moores drug ,store and
got box. They soon removed the aching
in my back and l have not been annoyed
with it since.'

The hens have proven as usual barom-

doctrine Of conservation of energy, stor-

egg production has fallen off and egg
prices have climbed upward, touching 81
cents retail. There are few other changes
