Cattle for Foreign Market.

Nearly two thousand cattle take
their departure from Portland on Sat
urday and after their voyage across
the stormy Atlantic will be converted
into the roast beef of Old England.
These travellers from the ranges of
the great West have been arriving in
Portland for several days but some OF
them are not here yet. However DR..
Huntington, of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, says they will be along in
time for the sailing of the ships on
which passage has been engaged for
them. The last of the number are eX-
pected to arrive this afternoon and
Will be put on board ship tomorrow
forenoon. The animals will be carried
by the steamship Merton, which on
her capacious decks Will carry $50
head, the Corinthian and the Cerv0na
each of winch will take 500.
These three vessels will leave here
during Saturday afternoon and Will
carry heavy cargoes in addition TO the
cattle. Besides her large shipment of
general merchandise the Cervona will
carry the largest amount of grain
taken from Portland in a single vessel
for time. 1t totals 10000 bushels.
The big Merton is the only one OF
these vessels which will have pSssen
gers aboard when the lines are cast of
The list includes 40 second cabin and
so steerage travellers.

"Puhlic Spirit.n

The following article * offered for
publication IN the REpoKTER by
5kowhegan lady VINO 10 not, or never
,as been, engaged IN the retail trade
and is not even distantiy connected
With anyone VINO i dependent for
livelihood upon TIE retail stores Of
5kowhegan. WITH The sentiments
expressed By her, which seem to be
prompted simply b. desire to see
7kowhegan prosperous community,
The REPORTER is very much in SYM
path}.
Complaint is often made Of the lack
If public spirit" manifested by cur
citizens. This simply means faii1re
OH the part OF individuals, to do all
possible to further the Interests Of
other individuals. Now there is
present with Us, a condition Of affairs,
that i certainly not conducive 10 the
pre- sperity Of the town, because Of its
effect upon many # the iHdivid ualB
residing therein.
For long time, there has been
steady traffic in dry goods, between
this town and a near. by cit, that has
taken away from our merchants, part
II their means of livelihood. And at
the present time there is going away
from our Rrocers a large amount Of
business that they should reasonably
expect, and groceries by the ton are
coming here from tAe same city be-
fore alluded 10. There certainly ap-
pears 10 be no millionaire grOcers or
dry goods merchants in our commune
y.
Il would seem that they were sell
ing goods at fair prices, az cheaplY as
they can afford to. Surely, rents and
clerk hire can be no higher here, than
in certain other places.
How can the grOcers prosper, if
dealers in other lines buy tn, ir gro
ceries out Of town; and on the other
hand, how can the dry goods dealer
hive, il he does not sell goods to his
! town tradesmel. Really, under con-
ditions like these, the one cannot ex-
pect much Of the other. Surprising
we do pay trifie more for goods
bought in town. there is not a shadow
of doubt, but that sooner or later, we
pay that trifie, whether we ever find
it out or not. And even II we are
saving little money By our out of
town trading, it is not economy, for
true economy consists in using money
to the best advantage. 1t is not for
the best interests Of the town for so
much of our trade to be given to out
siders. 1t is not public spirited-it is
decidedly -altruistic and short
sighted. The country has the tariff
the town, lacking that protection,
should make cooperation its safe
guard. Never truer saying than the
old one that, Omitted we stand, diyid-
ed we fail"

T. T. Cooper's theory that the

and is responsible for most sickness is
receiving the strongest sort of EN- !.
dorsement from a surprising set OF

Thursday afternoon Mrs. Harris

GROWS HAIR ON BALD
HEADS
Bald Headed People May Get a New
Chance in Life.

Chance in Life.
In these days when youth is the
moving factor in business; when a
man makes his mark at thirty five
and is ready to retire at forty five;
when business houses pension the
man we call "middle aged" rather
than allow his tagging influence TO in
trude upon the commercial rush, a
bald head is almost fatal to any mans
hopes, The following must therefore
prove interesting to people who are
losing their hair or who are bald.
Resorcln is one of the latest and
most effective germ killers discover
ed by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which is both germici
dal and antisepic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its nutriment,
and also creates clean, healthy CON
dition of the scalp, which prevents
the development of new germs.
Pilocarpin is a we'll known agent
for restoring the hair TO its natural
color, where the loss of color has been
due to disease of the scalp. Yet, il
is not a coloring matter or dye.
This combination of curatiYes mix
ed with alcohol as a stimulant per-
fects the most effective remedy for
hair and scalp troubles.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta
Napthol and Pilocarpin. 1t makes
the scalp healthy, nourishes the hair,
stimulates the follicles. Where the
head is already bare, it enters the
follicles, revitalizes the roots, supplies
nourishment and stimulates new
growth.
We want you to try a few bottles of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic, on our per-
sonal guarantee that the trial will not
cost you penny if it does not give
you absolute satisfaction. That's
proof of our faith in this remedy and
it should indisputably demonstrate
that we know what we are talking a
bout when we say that Rexall 1891
Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald
heads, except of course, where bald
ness has been of such long duration
that the roots OF the hair are entirely
dead, the follicles closed and grown
over, and the scalp Is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been
accomplished by the use of Rexall
"93'' Hair Tonic, and we have the
right to assume that what it has Zone
to hundreds Of others it will do for
you. In any event you cannot lose
anything by giving it a trial on our
liberal guarantee. Two sizes, SOC and

Trustee of Wages,

An act relative to the trusteeing of
wages which has been introduced into
the Legislature or which may be in
troduced is exciting much interest in
Portland. 1t provided or will provide
for the amendment of the existing law
50 that only one half OF the wages OF
any man may be trusteed, thus leav-
ing a portion of his earnings tor the
support of his family. As the law is
today it is stated that all of a mans
earning may be trusteed and his fami-
ly may suffer for the necessities of life
before the trustee process expires.
The bill in this form will not be
fought very strenuonsly by those who
are opposed to change but if it goes
in in the form provided for by some
member of the Legislature, prohibit
ing the trusteeing of wages when they
are less than $40 week there will be
great opposition to it.

DEEDS, NOT WORDS.
Skowhegan People Have Absolute

they helped temporarily, when l

GROWING YOUNG.

Metschkinoff, the great scientist,
says that no one need grow old, if
he keeps alive and strong the
''Phogocytes," those little animals in
the blood are always fighting
disease. Some say, drink distilled
water SO that the bones will not
harden. Fletcher says, eat but little
and chew slowly, and Danish from the
mind Fear and Care. We're Ponce
De Leon among us today, he would
join all the scientists i'll the search
for the miraculous Fountain of
Youth" Dr. Osler, however, tells us
that one isn't good for much after
forty.
These opinions furnish reading, but
do not seem to be exact science. In
opposition TO these theories are the
words at is the spirit that giveth
life" Eternal life and happiness
come of perpetual flow to us of
new thoughts and ideas. AS the re-
generative process goes on, we shall
find our bodies growing stronger, and
yet finer, and our habits in life
things in a new light, and get the
keenest enjoyment from everything
in life. When our souls are open to
of many things we never knew be-
fore. We shall literally behold a
new earth, and take new interest in
everything that we do.
| once read about a FrenchWoman,
who at the age of seventy decided
to be young again. She gave the
most careful attention to her hair,
massaged her face, dressed In beauti-
ft,l 6plioafa nnlnru on1 &c -; Oh
became as young and fair as a woman
affairs from then until she was
ninety. This simply shows that she
allowed the idea of youth to possess
her, and youthful thoughts and youth
full desires created in the physical
body the results she desired. "Thou
shalt desire thing and it shall be
established unto thee"
So you see there is no such thing as
age, unless we wish it. What makes
some people younger at seventy
eight than others at forty? l answer,
sit is the view they take of life. f"
People who have a purpose in life,
who have an interest in many things,
who come in contact with diff erent
people, have more vitality, more
energy, more freshness than those
who get into rut.
We do not live on bread and meat
alone, we live also largely on ''ideas !"
The woman ever planning and NOV
ing new enterprises, the woman who
throws herself into efforts for the
public good, has more life, more
fresh thought, more vivacitY, than
the one who lives in a nutshell; such
a woman for instance, as Julia Ward
Howe Browning says:
"Rejoice that man is hurled.
From change to change increasingly,
His sOufs wings never furled."
A person who thinks the same old
things over from morning to night,
year in and year out, cages rs we
term it, very rapidly. Living, on the
same ideas is just as unhealthy as a
diet of one kind,-both bring on
disease.
The tendency of many people after
they are a little advanced in years,
is to look backward" / say unto
you Remember LSt's wife,, you do
not want to be pillar of salt i'll the

A Song of Friendship.
Like birds that walt upon the wing
Their Joy and love In song to expend,
We busy women pause 10 bring
Tribute oflove and praise and song
To her who has been our leader long,
And long our friend.
Her friends are many, for she doth
Her friendiness to all extend.
Her heart Is like the hurrying MOTH
II gathers toll from many iields,-
Sc many flower Its perfume yields,
Aud many fiiend.
For she has seen how each is bound
To all. and all on each depend
Life link ed with life In mystic round:-
sister with sister women she
Ia loves fair solidarity,
And each friend.
She loves al causes high and good
Eager she Is herself to spend,
To give to suffering womanhOod,
Ptiful childhood, youth oppressed,
Or tempted manhood of her bes0.--
To all a friend.
And tn y who toll with burdened heart.
The ragged scars of earth to mend,
Who in the conflicts van have part,
Whose spirits are brave, whose hands
To battle against ancient wrong,
Find her n friend.
Not she of those whose timid souls
Before antique conventions bend
A fairer age to faith unrols;
Too new for her no liberty
Her the young twentieth century
Owns as friend.
The voices of G DIS out-ofdoors
For her in friendly music blend
The river murmuring to Its shores,
The minstrel BIRDS the whis pering trees
The chattering rain,-she is to these
Lover and friend
The earliest bud that pricks the mold
Is hers to love and watch and tend
Lily aud rose for her unfold
Rose and lily and dahodil
Bloom sweetest In her garden STILL
They know their friend.
The ALLOWING Heart to apprehend;
She, who loves all his creatures, turns
Her heart to the Highest, meek yet hold
And is, like A braham OF old,
or God the friend.
He, whom his friends uplifted gaze
l1eheld from OliVet ascend,
Whose promise holds through all tht
days,
Whose life was love,-to men he saith,
Nv no doeth my commands in faith,
! call my friend
Sweet friend, Chrlst's peace for thee WI
pray,
His love be thine world without end
HIS grace support thee on thy way;
His heavenly welcome, when the gate
Shall swing that swngeth soon or late
BE thine dear friend
our loving thoughts, like pearls to veal
Star-ike upon the breast, we send;
Our hearts DESIRES like blossoms fair,
Into bright garlands have we wound
For her the gentle years have crowned
Our gentle friend.
