should be tho best Of reasons for do
ing it. Naturally Portland would very
much like to be the capital Of Marie
for u number of reasons. ANY city
would. Eut the fact that Portland
would like to be the capital is not
sufficient cause FOR sending Augusta to
the rear.
The first ana heaviest argument
advanced by the rcmovalists' reasons;
as follows. simply: Augustus hotel ac-
cpmmodationS are not sufficient. while
Portland's are. Just ina CINE it, AS
though it We're easier. less expensive.
and more beneficial to the State to re-
move the capital than to build hotel
accommodation in Augusta. In other
words. then, if the Wharfage at Port
land is not extensive enough for the
increasing coastng and international
sea going business, sending all this
business to some port where there is
Wharfage enough is preferable to
building Il few more Wharvcs in Port
land harbor.
Another argument for the removal
of the capital is that the present State
house is not large enough. Rather
than enlarge it the Portland mans idea
would build a new State House. and
build it in Portland.
On the face of the matter these argu-
ments are fallacious. But Of course
there is method in Portland's madness.

Paul Castor Must Serve
is Months in Prison,
One Case Disposed Of, Others
Still Hang Over Him.
May Also Have TO Stand Trial For
Irregularities at Portland,

Auburn, Me, Feb. 10.-"Dr" Paul Cas-
tor Of Portland pleaded guilty in the su-
preme court Saturday to charges OF
performing a criminal operation and
practicing medicine without being reg
istered. On the first charge he was
sentenced to serve 16 months at hard
labor in State prison. The latter
charge was continued indefinitely.
Castor was brought here on a writ
Of habeas corpus from the Portland
JAIL where he is awaiting trial before
the May term of the superior court on
the charge of larceny of diamonds and
jewelry to the value of $4,000 from
two Portland hotels. He is about rs
years old.
Sentence was not pronounced until
Dr. Castor had rctracted his former
plea Of not guilty and pleaded guilty
The plea was made in such a feeble
tone that Clerk Belcau did not hear it
at first. DR.. Castor repeated the gull
ty" second time before q record could
be made
The Indictment for practicing med
icine without being registered was call
ed by County Attorney Morey DR.
Castor retracted his former plea of not
guilty to this indictment and pleaded
guilty.
The malpractice case was continued for
sentence and the prisoner was remanded
to the county Jail. where he will remain
until taken TO the State prison at Thorn
aston.
DR.. Castor was brought here by Deputy
Sheriff Harmon of Westbrook and Turn
kew Delano OF the Cumberland county
Jail.
Before sentence Assistant County At
torney Samuel Bates of Cumberland ar
gued on the habeas corpus proceedings.
In the succeeding arr2ignment, Irving

defendant. and County Attorney Mercy
of AndroscogGin the county. Levi Green

men. Mary Jane Frazier OF Portland and
John Pettingll of Lewiston.
Castor originally defaulted his bail but
now the bondsmen have the full amount
of the bail returned. amounting in one
case to $500 and in the other to 5000
There is little doubt that if DIR. Castor
is of good behavior his sentence will be
lessered, and it is the opinion of many
Jurists that he won't serve over year.
it is almost sure that an indictment will
be found against him in Cumberland
county when the grand jury meets III
May, and in that case County Attorney
Connolly will claim the healer as a vic
tim, and another habeas corpus writ will
issue to take DR.. Castor from Thomaston
and bring him to Portland to stand trial.

A Change Would be REGRETTED.

The people of Portland seem to be
making a determined effort to secure
the removal Of the State capital from
Augusta to their city. 1t seems to us
any such removal would be an Unjust
ice to 4 large portion Of the State and
that the location would be anything
but 4 favorable one. In the first place
it would be best for the State to get
out Of debt before mourning any such
expense. Again. the center of popula-
ton is rapidly changing to north and

Would Entail Endless Expense
(Pittsiield AdNertiscrD

NtlttSilclu AuNertlScr.)
During the past few weeks there has
been plenty IF evidence that a deter
mined effort is being made by Portland
citizens to have the capital moved to
that city. Right on the face of it this
seems TO be primarily Il selfish move
on their part. If successful it would
no doubt add materially to the beauty
and dignity of the Forest city. To
move the seat of government of the
State from its present location would
entail endless expense to every tax
payer throughout the State. But very
little benefit would result to the great
est percentage of the population BY
such a change. Would il not be loss
of time and more or less Inconvenience
to those who would have to travel the
length of tie State to transact business
at the capitol We have failed to
notice any particular criticism from
the citizens of this section regarding
the location of the State capitol at
Augusta. 1t is convenient of access
to most Of the people. If improve
ments are needed to make conditions
better at the capitol why not do what
is necessary in this line and keep the
expense within reasonable bounds by
expending the States money in way
that will bring the greatest benefit to
the people. The present location is
at beautiful point of our State and
there is plenty of room to make as
gorgeous a capitol to meet the appar-
ont fastidious desires of the people of
the western part of the State if
deemed necessary. We feel safe in
making the statement that the major
ity of the citizens of this section
would not favor moving the capital

The denaturing agents will be effic-
lent both as denaturants and in the

therefore the cost of denaturation

first cost of denatured alcohol with
ethyl alcohol at is cents a gallon will
be about 20 cents a gallon. Adding b

"Our little girl, one year and hair

called in the family doctor, and he gave
some tablets and said she would be all
right In few days. The eczema grew
worse and we called in doctor No. z.
He said she was teething, as soon as
the teeth were through she would be
all right. But she still grew worse.
Doctor No. 8 said 1t was eczema. BY
this time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try 1t about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple ON one OF her
eyes. or course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over, and said that he could not do
anything more for her, that we had
better take her to some eye specialist,
since 1t was an ulcer. SO we went to

try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. a. We we're nearly dis

thought we would try the Cuticura

a set Of Cuticura Remedies, which cost

who had been sick about eight months,
showed great Improvement and In one
week all sores bad disappeared. OF
course it could not restore the eye
sight, but II we had used Cuticura In
