record, as clear-headed and conscien-
tious legislator. Mr.. Fernald is an act
i've business man. being the manager
of the F'ernald, Keene & True Co., one
of the largest corn packing establish
ments in Maine. He is recognized as a
gentleman of high character and I'M
questioned ability, and if nominated
for governor would be fairly entitled to
the united support of his party.
Col. F. E. BootlIby Of Portland has
borne a conspicuous and honorable
part in the development Of Maine.
especially in the building UP of its
great summer resort business, which
has resulted in the annual distribution
of millions of dollars among the citi-
zens of our State. He has taken a
close and active interest in the work of
our Boards of Trade, has borne a promi-
nent part i'll the development of the
Old Home Week idea, and has served
with distinction as Mayor of the great
city of Portland. Mr.. Boothby is
everywhere recognized as a fine exc
cutive and practical up-to-date
man of affairs. If he should be Sc
lected to lead the Republicans OF
Maine in the approaching cam
paign he would undoubtedly do SO
with credit to himself and his party.
So much for the three gentlemen
now in the field for the gubernatorial
and true. The Journal has no stones
to throw at any one of them, nor do
we think the candidacy of any one of
them can be advanced among the rank

choice will rest, by methods Of this
character. BY all means let this cam
vass be a clean one-a canvass of
friendly rivalry. presenting each can

OF the party to say which one Of them
they prefer. Whoever ne may turn out
to be under such circumstances his Sc

party can line up behind him with a
united 'front.' and the assurance of a

friendly. and above board. Let it be
free from personalities, and from any
thing of a character that would make
it hard for any member Of the Repub-
llcan party in this State to heartily
support the candidate of his party.
Differences of opinion are to be eN-
pected. The Republicans of Maine
have always been accustomed to do
their own thinking. Let each man
who hoporably aspires to the guberna-
torial Office have a fair chance. Let
all the good things possible be said OF
him, and there are plenty of good
things to be said of all the gentlemen
now in the field; but let the contest be
conducted in such a spirit that when
the convention has made its choice,
the members Of the party all over the
State will be in position to line up be-
hind the candidate with nothing to re-
tract and nothing to regret. In that
spirit there will be no difficulty in roll
ing up on election day one of the larg-
est Republican victories in the history
Of our State.

Why Not Bread?

eff wheat is the perfect FOOD" you ask, "why
not eat more bread?"
But white flour isn't the whole wheat, YOU know
The outer part and the germ are omitted The lax
alive elements, the OIL and much of the proteid, are
missing
But the vital fact is that the starch in bread is
insuffciently cooked.
Wheat is largely starch. And starch, to be di-
gestble must be made soluble The particles must
be separated the digestive juices can get to them
That requires long cooking and terrific heat
The inside of loaf never gets half enough heat
to break up those granules of starch
That is why bread-save when we'll toasted
is never advised for dyspeptics And that is why
much of the bread that you eat never digests and
IS wasted.
And that is the reason for Mapl.Flake.
In that, the whole wheat is steam cooked for
six hours. Then faxed SO thin that the heat can
reach every atom Then toasted, for 80 minutes
at 400 degrees.
The result is food that's all food-all nourish-
1nent-because it all dgests.

Creating an Appetite.

The following from the speech OIL
one of the officers of the Ohio State
Liquor League is both a text and a
sermon: at will appear from these
facts, gentlemen, that the success OF
our business is dependent largely
upon the creation of an appetite for
drink. Men who drink liquor, like
others, will die, and if there is no
new appetite created u counters
will be empty as will be our money
drawers. Our children must go hum
cry or we must change our business
to something more remunerative. The
open field for the creation Of this ap-
petite is among the boys. After men
are grown and their appetites are
formed, they rarely change in this
regard. 1t will be needful, therefore,
that missionary work be done among
the boys, and I make the suggestion.
gentlemen, that nickels expend I'd in
treats now to the boys will return in
dollars to your tills after the appetites
have been formed. Above all things,
create an appetite. The Home and

The Biggest Trust.

The biggest saloon keeper and liq-
uor seller in the world is the Car
of the Russias. He is proprietor of
all the saloons in his vast domain,
and thus owns the biggest trust on
earth, with competition totally
barred and with profits increasing
enormously every year. The Great
White Cars Government encouraged
drink to such a degree last year that
the income derived from the sale OF
vodka exceeded $4,000. 900. Ev-
cry year the Russian peasants and
workmen are said to get drunken,
dirtier, more miserable and more
brutal. The imperial grogshops are
small and unclean, with a counter
at one end and rows of bottles OF
various sizes all around the walls
from floor to ceiling. The people are
not allowed to drink on the prem
ises, so they go to the doorstep,
break off the neck of their bottle and,
after swallowing its contents, fling
it into the street. The bottle holds
about a wineglassful of the imperial
drug and costs five cents. The daily
wage of a workman in the fields Is
from ten to fifteen cents. Tchelysef

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMpERANCE.

The Drink Habit in Canadian
Alarming Increase Both Among
the Men and the Women
Causes That Contribute to This.
Canon WEIGH rendered a good SER
vice by his straight and rather cour-
ageous words of denunciation touch
Ing the social habits Of not a few Of
Toronto's -four hundred" and the
general increase not only In drink
Ing, but also in drunkenness. The
sermon, addressed to a Massey Hall
audience composed largely of the
militia forces of Toronto and the An
cient and Honorable Artillery Com
pany of Massachusetts, was a timely
warning against a growing evil IN
Canadian life. And it required not
only the prophets sense of public re-
sponsibiIity, but also his fearlessness
for the preacher from St. James to
strike so direct a blow at n of the
thief sins of the social circles to which
not a few of those who heard his
words belong.
Canon WEIGH is quite within the
mark in his estimate of the down.
grade tendencies during the past ten
years. Not only do the police records
show an alarming increase in the
number of convictions for drunken
ness, but those who know the habits
Of society as seen at small pleasure
parties, at social functions, at private
and semi-private dinners n at ban
auets of various sorts, know right
we'll that the use of wines and liquors
has considerably increased and is now
common in circles where 1T was un-
known ten years ago. The increase
Of the drink habit among women is
even more alarming than among men.
Not only at private parties, but also
On semi-public occasions at leading
downtown restaurants and hotels the
ugly facts are too often forced into
prominence.
A variety of causes contributes to
the present situation. The influx OF
people from Britain, where the drink
habit is more prevalent, has provided
recruits for the roll of drunkenness
at both ends of the social scale. The
shifting of the emphasis in the tenn
perance crusade from the total absti-
hence of the individual to prohibit
ton by the State has allowed the
growth of a generation very largely
untaught and unpledged, so far as
personal convictions and habits are
concerned. The general prosperity
of the country, providing an album
dance for the average man and lux
ury for not a few, has made possible
excessive expenditures in all direc-
tons, and with many excess in eating
and drinking and dressing is the most
desirable way of using surplus wealth.
Among women, especially among a
certain class of young women, the
foolish notion that drinking cham
payne is "chic," just a little bit
wicked, is sufficient reason for ac-
uuiring ths hapit.-Toronto Globe.

A Spiders

The strength of some of the spiders
which build their webs in trees and
other places in Central America is
astounding. One Of them had In
