Gives Nerves
Remarkable vigOr
Electropodes, Wonderful, Simple De-
vice to Produce Astonishing
Nerve Strength.
How Any Man or Woman Can Get and
Use Them.

There is no more excuse for any man
or woman suffering from nervous ex-
baustion, rundown condition, weak
nerves, lack of ambition or energy. A
won derfully simple device. called Elec-
tropodes is now designed to supply all
the strength necessary to render the
nerves strong and vigorous without
having to resort to temporary stimu-
lantS, tonics or medicines of any kind.
Electropodes are not an experiment
that they produce results which can
be quickly felt and even seen n an i'm
proved condition of the general svs-
tenn. is the emphatic statement CT those
who have used them.
Electropodes represent a distinct adj
vance in the application of electricity
for the cure of diseases. They are re-
ported to have a remarkable effect, not
only upon the nerves, but also upon
the kidneys, stomach and liver, being
an exceptional remedy for kidney trou-
bles, stomach and liver arrangements,
neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, lum-
bago, Insomnia and weak heart
Electropodes are metallic insoles so
be unnoticeable to the wearer. BY con-
tact with the body 1t is stated they

FOOD FOR The FISH
Sterling Man Invents a New
Brand of Bait That Is a
Winner.
OPEN FACTORY TO MAKE 1T
1t Is a Cheese Made from Skinned
Milk That Is Unfit for Use
Ships Over Country.

It is not generally known that there
is and has been for several years man
ufactured in Sterling an article of COM
mercial value which is unique in the
distinction of being the only article of
its kind made in the world so far as is
known 1t is a cheese made of skim
med milk which is unfit for use as food
and is made, sold and used exclusively
as fish bait.
1t is a by-product of the Sterling
Butter & Cheese company, and during
the year thousands of pounds of 1t are
made and find a ready market in the
large cities of the United States and
in fishing centers, where it is used
successfully.
AS stated, 1t is made Of the milk left
after skimming and makes a market
for this by-product which, up to the
time of the originating of the scheme
by John B. Gilbert, had little or no
value.
Pure FOca Law Don't Interfere.
The bait is made in the shape of
cheese of commerce, but is labeled
fish bait" and contains no butter fat;
but it's consumers do not seem to care
for that omission, as it is not a food
product, does not come under the reg
ulations governing the making Of
cheese and butter.
It's manufacture came about in a very
simple manner, and the only wonder is
that some one did not years ago enter
into the business of producing it.
About four years ago John B. Gilbert
was in the Office of a produce mer-
chant in Chicago when a man came in
and inquired if the proprietor had any
spoiled cheese which he could pur-
chase for use as fish bait. He had a
small piece, and after he had waited
on his customer, informed Mr.. Gilbert
that in case he could get it he could
use a quantity of spoiled cheese for
that purpose.
Fish Not Particular.
Mr.. Gilbert told the dealer he didn't
think the fish would notice the absence
OF butter fat and that he thought he
could make a cheese from SKINNED
milk which would answer the purpose,
which he did and since which time he
has continued to do so.
Most of the cheese is made and
consumed during the summer months
wnen there is an excess of SKINNED
milk due to the making of butter and
the Swimming of milk for the manufac-
ture of ice cream.

New Cedar Ties, New Rails
And Banasting Coming
For Rebuilding The Road Be-
tween Gardiner and Hanowen.
Little Damage by Heavy Winter
Frosts on the New Lines.

General Manager Harry B. Ivers o
the Lewiston, Augusta & Watervill'
Street Railway was in the city Mon
day on his return from Aroostool
county, where he had been to purchase
10000 cedar ties for the, three miles O.
new road bed which will be construct
/ ed at once between this city and Hal
| lowell.
When the present management OF
the railway secured control, 1t was
| seen that the oldr rails between Au-
gusta and Gardiner had about out
lived their usefulness, but it was deem
ed necessary to first construct the eX-
tension to Lewiston and Waterville be-
| fore making an attempt to put into
shape the old road. At once the man
a,ement believed that it might be able
to complete all of the work before
the close of the fall season last year,
but winter came and found that this
had hot been accomplished, although
the management had been able to lay
new track from Augusta to the over
head bridge at HalloWeu. CIV.
1t is at this point that the old por-
ton of the road begins, and scores
of passengers on the railway have
come to know the instant they leave
the; new track for the old, and wee
versa. bv the sound which the car
wheels make on the rails.
But all this is to be changed. Crews
have already been sent out to begin the
work of renovation. The new ties, just
purchased by General Manager lVers,
will be at once shipped to Augusta ana
distributed along the line of the rail-
way.
But the road is not only TO receive
new ties and new rails; 1t Is also TO De
reballastcd, and this will make great
difference in the ease and comfort OIL
the passengers.
During a ride over the line from Wa
terville to Lewiston Monday, General
Nanaeer Iyers was much pleased to
6nd that the damage to roadbed and
+r,cl, from the frosts Of the past WIN
ter has been very slight Such diflcui-
tics rs nave been found can be easily
remedied.

kENNEBEc LIGHT AND HEAT co.
Has Many Plans For Betternent of

The Kennebec Light & Heat Co.. has
many plans for the betterment of the
service in Gardiner The following is
statement of the. things which the
officials of the company hope to do,
and doubtless will accomplish during
the present year:
The present works at Gardiner are
very old and not at all modern or up
to-date, making as they do coal gas,
which is rarely made in New England.
At Augusta the company has q new,
modern. up-to-date plant for the man.

Of machinery for its manufacture, each
one Of which is capable of making in
eight hours all the gas that is used III

The Company has bought about 90,

1000 feet of six-inch pipe, which will
be delivered at once. This pipe viii!
be used in laying a line from HalloWell
to Gardiner in connection with the
present line from the company's gas
works at Augusta to HalloWeil. lot
of land has been purchased at Hal
lowell. near Water street. where a
brick building will be erected and q
pump installed, driven by electric mo-
tor, to drive the gas to Gardiner. AT
Gardiner the company has purchased
on Water street, just above the store
or Prcble & kcene. two lots of land,
one of Charles f. Pickering and the
other of the Hooker estate, the two
making a good sized lot of land on
which they propose to erect steel
gas holder in a steel tank. This hold
CT will Re about 50 feet in diameter
and about 50 feet high, and the con-
tract for it has been placed with the
Crusc- kcmper Co, of Amber, Pa, VINO
who will begin the erection of it the
last. of next month.
The rev holder will be of 10000 GU
bic feet capacity more than twice the
ca pa city of the present holder and
holding more than twice as much gas
as is used in one day in Gardiner. 1t
will be so built that it can be doubled
in size if necessary at a very small
expense.
In connection with this holder the
company expects to erect small brlck
building on Water street holding the
necessary plant for heating the water
which is used as q seal in
the holder The company will
also use this building as a
shop and a storehouse. The present
wooden buildings on the lot will be
removed, as well as the rubbish and
debris which has accumulated, and the
whoiiDc establishment Wiilbe surround
ed by a fence which it is expected will
greatly improve the appearance of the
locality
The laying of this new pipe line and
the construction of the new holder Will
mean u much improved service Tor
the city of Gardiner.

bridges have not always been kept sepa-

perses is therefore too large. The actual
eNpendlture for repairs and maintenance
can be very closely approXinated, how
ever, by averaging the years in anv given
period in which the items are given and
applying the average to the whole period
By doing this, and adding the cost of the
so-called permanent roads, and of the
macadamizng of upper Water street. il
appears that the actual cost of repairs

According to the county atlas we have
about d IL miles of highway within the
city limits, Of which perhaps IS II miles
are unlmportant roads, requiring little at
tention. and p miles are roads in constant
use which should be kept in the best pos
sible condition. From the total amount
expended for repairs and maintenance, as
shown above, it appears that the whole
cost has been at the rate of $14 146 66 per
mule OF road for these p miles. The whole
of this mileage could be made permanent
at cost of $4,000 per mile, and it appears
therefore that more than 40 per cent in
excess of what was necessary to make
those roads permanent has been expended
upon them, and that they remain sub
stantlally in the same condition as they
were in 1880
