Gated Thaw's responsibility.

witness said Thaw called a second
time in 1904 and discussed Stanford
White and several other Of the archt-
tect's friends. Thaw said he was pos
tive that White had in Madison
Square tower rooms filled with OBJ
scene pictures and that tenants adj
joining had often heard young girls
scream. Thaw asked that detective
BE detailed to watch the rooms. He
said the detective reported and saw
nothing wrong going on in the place.
Later Comstock received letter from
Harry saying the tower was used by
a band of criminally rich men for their
own ends. He said the room was pro-
tected at the exit by steel bound
door and the second floor was furnish
ed like forest entrance, being skill
fully concealed. Thaw he said wrote
the chief feature of one room was a
picture of Peculiar Infamous sugges-

Mental Growth of Babies

Woods Hutchinson, NJ. D., could hardly
have touched a more live wire for the
home than when he selected for his sub
ject "The Mental Growth Of Babies,
published in Woman's Home Companion
Here are just few OF Doctor Hutching-
sons short paragraphs:
"Just as the germ OF the flower is con-
tanned in the tiniest seed and will reveal
itself with as absolute certainty as will
rootlets and leaves when proper conditions
OF heat, moisture and light are accorded,
so the germ of the mind OF child is pres
ent in his little body, and will develop and
unfold itself with the growth OF the latter.
1.-THE only way to stop the growth Of a
child's mind is to stop his body from grow
ing. Appetite is the mother Of the mind,
and muscle is its father. At its lowest
estimate the body, with its brain, is the
tool OF the mind, and good work cannot
be done without good tools.
'The first test of muscular vigor, the
hand grasp, is an indication Of the mental
possibilities as well. Not one child out Of
hundred who at ten days OF age grasps
firmly and clings to finger or pencil
rubbed against his pink little palm, will
ever fall below the average intelligence Of
his race"

-
Death Rate of Babies.

"a century ago the anxious parent of
the new born babe had good reason to be
uneasy" says DR.. Woods Hutchinson, in
writing on 1.-THE Irrepressible Tendency of
Babies to Grow up, in Woman's Home
@ mspdnion. "That was still the age Of
dirt and huge infant mortality.
"Less than half the children born lived
to be five years old-in London, in 1850,
H.5 per cent. died and more than one
third persisted in the first year. Now such
condition is rapidly disappearing, and
remains only in our slum and most igno-
rant peasant communities.
''To-day the average mortality in the
first five years Of child life in the entire
United States is less than twenty per cent.
The mortality for the first year, about ten
per cent, and eliminating the slums and
our foreign population, the rate is nearly
three per cent. lower yet. So that your
baby, gentle reader, has ten chances to
one Of reaching his first birthday, five to
one OF reaching his fifth, and three to one
OF attaining adult life. Surely this is not
an outlook to justify serious worry or con-
slant anxiety for fear that some dreadful
thing will happen"

Among more recent converts to Mr..
Cooper's beliefs is Mr.. Edgar l.. Kinds,
living at Tappan street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Kinds has this to say on the subjects
II have suffered with stomach trouble
for eight years. was not sick enough to
be in bed, but just felt bad all the time
My greatest trouble was that always felt
tired; would get up in the morning feeling
as tired as when went to bed.
VI had very irregular appetite, and
vas troubled with dizzy spells. II stood

dull pain in the lower part OF my back.
l was nervous and felt all the time as
though something terrible was going to
happen. tried many kinds OF medicine,
but nothing ever helped me.

being in good health again, when heard

medicine. took one bottle OF his New
Discovery, and was greatly surprised at
the result. / gained IL pounds in few

STEAM BOAT RUMOR.
Again Talk OF Boat from Bangor to
Seal HarbOr.


Again with the opening Of the shipping
season on the river there is movement
on the part of some of the merchants OF
Bangor to have a boat running between
Bangor and Eggemoggin Reach to Mt.
Desert island. This matter has been
talked of ever since the Barbour boats
quit running down through the Reach.
The withdrawal of the Barbour boats
left the local merchants without any
means OF getting merchandise to the
towns down through the Reach, and con-
sequently the business formerly done be-
tween Bangor merchants and these towns
has gone to the Rockland merchants.
The business vas considerable during the
months the river was open, and there were
many summer visitors along the coast and
the loss OF it has been felt by the local
merchants.
Capt. Ben Arey, of the Brooksville & Ban
gor Steamship Co., is ready to put boat
on the Bangor Mt. Desert run whenever
the Bangor merchants get together and
get up enough push to make it worth his
while. II Capt. Arey should get sufficient
assurances from the local merchants to
put the Ruth on the Bangor-Seal Harbor
run he would put the fremont on the run
between Bangor and Northport and Isles
boro during the summer. Such u line as
that has also been in demand for some
time, but there haven't been boats enough
on the river to make all the trips.

Weak Kidneys Make
Weak Bodies.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common
Aches and Ills Of Ellsworth People.

As one weak link weakens chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body and
hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when their
activity is lessened the whole body suffers
from the excess of uric poison circulated
in the blood.
nary ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes and
fatal Bright's disease. There is no real
help for the sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the
kidneys and cure every kidney ill.
Ellsworth cures are the proof.

severe that could not sit still and had to
keep changing my position. The trouble
