Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and II is these
women who nre willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping. busting and often waShi.-r,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work Of such woman
is never done" and is il any wonder
that she breaks down al the end of
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is n displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of thai wife and mother

| The Legislature is evidently hearing

scheme Even the Senate, impervious
as it has so far appeared to be TO
public opinion, seems to be taking Il
second and saner thought upon this
important question.
To vote away two or three millions

To shirk all responsibility, in the
matter by referring to the people d

Sidcred seriously may appeal 10 the
Senators and Representatives,, but the
real sentiment of the state opposes any
move Of this kind and opposes any

of Cumberland county does not favor
it. The Bridgtnn News. edited by

unprecedented expression of public

perate effort that the Portland people
are making to secure a change of front
from the writer's and the false and
misleading statements with which thew
have been flooded the past two or
three weeks it would not be surprising
if some Of them were brought to the
Portland standard especially in view
OF the fact that these letters came
from fourteen of the sixteen counties
of the State. There We're S97 of these
letters. Up to the present time the

succeeded in securing letters Indicating

American Meat Abroad.

When the agitation against meat
packing conditions in Chicago was in
progress only a few short months ago
it was thought that il would result in
great injury 20 the AmprI.l1 mca,
trade abroad. Recent official figures,
however. show that this has not hap
pencd. Either Europe has been very
quick to forget the agitation or else it
accepts in good faith the guarantee of
our government that meats are nov
slaughtered and packed under its
sanitary as possible. An official re-
port shows that. Notwithstanding the
disagreeable picture painted of the Chi
cdgo stock yards. more American meat
was sold in London last year than in
1908. Moreover, the amount of British
meat consumed in the metropolis has
decreased. At the present time London
eats almost exactly five pounds of
American meat for every pound of
British meat. This is larger pro-
portion of American meat than ever be-
fore.
These simple facts prove several
things. First those who opposed the
expo sure of lax methods in the packing
houses on the ground that it would kill
American meat exports were necdlessly
alarmed. Second, the world soon for
gets an old grievance when conditions
are improved. These principles will
apply just as directly to railroads,
trusts and lie insurance affairs as they
did to the meat question. 1t is a busy
world and people have other things to
do and to think Of more important than
the harboring Of old grievances and the
remembrance of old conditions which
were wrong and unpleasant.

In view Of the financial situation
which now confronts the Legislature
of Maine, it is not surprising that the
case of the Portland boomers is losing
ground. The surplus that has been 81
long harped upon by Portland is gone
and any indulgence in a new Capitol
must involve either an increase in the
bonded debt or still further enlarge
mcnt Of the TAX rate. These are the
plain facts of the situation. and even
though the city Of Portland fills the
corridors of the Capitol to the utter
most it cannot shout them away.
