The ice in the Kennebec river at this
city has commenced it's annual jour
ney toward the sea- although it may
be some time before the open water
extends clear through to Bath, but
the opening up along the water front
means the beginning of the end. The
mild weather of Sunday and Sunday
night started the ice below the Ken
nebec bridge and yesterday morning
it had moved down to a point about
opposite the lower end of Whites
wharf. The Strong current wore sew
eral holes in the ice during the fore
noon so that it moved down to the
steamboat wharf and last night with
the exception of some ice at the lower
end Of the wharf the river was open
nearly down to the steam mill, where
the ice had damned. There were open
places along the west side of the river
and few mild days will make diff
ference in the appearance of things in
this vicinity. ..

Rapid Shoemakinq.

A story OF lightning-like rapidity in
shoemaking is told by London paper.
1t appeared that while the German
Emperor was in England London
shoe firm received an order for pair
of shoes for the imperial feet. Aenes-
senger was dispatched early in the
morning with several pairs of the
highest priced foot-gear, none of
which suited Wilhelm. An offer to
make rair of shoes was accepted by
the kaisers adjutant, and on tele-
phone message to the factory in Lon
don two men We're put to work. At
1.20 o'clock in the afternoon the royal
boots We're completed and shipped TO
the German monarch. The shoes.
which report says, fitted perfectly,
were worn by mis- majesty the same
evening. The time consumed in making

Gives Advice to Cure Ca
tarrh Of All Kinds.
Directions 10 Prepare This
Splendid Mixture.
Cleans the Blood Of Catarrhal
Germs and Disease Promptly.

The coming months will be a harvest
for the doctors and patent medicine
manufacturers unless great care is Ia
ken to keep the feet dry, also dress
warmly. .,
This advice should be needed by all
who are subject to rheumatism, kid
ncy and bladder troubles and especially
catarrh. While the latter is consid-
cred by most sufferers an incurable
disease, there are few men or women
who will fail to experience great relief
from the following simple home pre-
scription, and if taken in time it will
prevent an attack of catarrh during
the entire season
Here is the prescription which any
one can mix: Fluid Extract Dandelion
one-half ounce, Compound kargon one
ounce. Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla
three ounces. Shake we'll III bottle
and use in teaspoonfGl doses after each
meal and again at bedtime
The Compound Kargon in this pre-
scription acts directly upon the elimi-
native tissues of the kidneys to make
them filter and strain from the blood,
the poiaons that produce all forms of
catarrhal affections. Relief is often
felt even after the first few doses and
it is seldom that the sufferer ever eX-
periences a return attack within the
year.
This prescription makes a splendid
remedy for all forms of blood disorders
and such symptoms as lame back,
bladder Weaknesses and rheumatism
pains are entirely tfispelled.
AS this valuable. though simple re-
cipe comes from a thoroughly reliable
source. it should be needed by every
afflicted reader

It will be well for everybody to be on

has fooled good judges and even the
government experts when they first
saw it. 1t is milled perfectly and the
die used was evidently made by an
expert. On the completion of the coin
and in order to perfect its appearance
it has been given wash or bath in
nitrate OF silver, which gives it
more perfect finish and also resists the
acid test that is usually applied. Occa-
sionally a slight defect has been no
ticed in applying the nitrate OF silver
but it is so slight that to the casual
observer it would not attract notice

People have learned by experience
TO make allowance for error in the pre-
dictions OF the weather bureau. but
Prof Schustcr thinks that the allow
ances should be officially stated. As
tronomers, it appears, are i'll the habit
OF giving the value of the probable
error when publishing their observa-
tons. But although metcorolosy
lends itself more readily than any
other science to the evolution of devia
tons from the mean result. the wealth
or forecastcrs have not adopted the
custom of stating the probable error.
Professor Schuster looks forward to
the time when weather forecasts will
be accomplished by statement. ofthe
odds that the prediction will be full
filled. Then, perhaps, we shall read
in the weather column not simply,
rain tomorrow" but three to one"
or mine to one for rain tomorrow

A New Era For
Custom Clothing

When our ready made
clothiers devote their energy
and room to pushing custom
work it looks as though they O.
read the signs of the times
'and are trying to- get into
line.
We cordially welcome
their cooperation in trying
to give the public the best
there is We have always
believed that individual
clothing made for individual
tastes and shapes are the
proper clothes to wear.
The public is fast seeing
this fact. Custom made cloth
ing has a style and fit that
cannot be duplicated by
factory made garments.
The character and ability
of the man or woman Is
judged very largely by the
clothes they wear. This Is
not always just criticism-it
is characteristic of the age.
No man has any excuse for
invoking criticism. 1t costs
less in. the end to wear
custom clothes.
You will wear out two to
three ready made suits to
one custom. 1t ia up to. you

parties. Go to the specialist
for the best results the man
who prides himself on his
dress cannot afford to rely
upon amateurs for advice
and measurements. Go to the
up-to-date fashionable tailor
where you can get satisfac-
ton. When we tell you we
can give you as good as
there is, we mean it and
can prove it. Don't hesitate
to get our prices and see our
