eraI Hospital Resolves.

Resolves in favor of the Central
Maine General hospital of Lewiston
and the Maine General hospital of
Portland were heard Thursday after
noon before the committee on finance.
The hearings and that on the Augusta
City hospital consumed the greater
part Of the afternoon.
Senator Osgood of AndroscOggin.
member of the committee. opened the
hearing on the Lewiston hospital He
said that so years ago this very after
noon he passed through the streets of
Lewiston for the first time. At that
time it was little village, but today
it and it's companion city. Auburn,
numbered a population of $4,000 He
then told of the good work which the
hospital had done and introduced Will
liam D. Pennell, president of the instl-
tuition. That gentleman said that the
past year the bstitution had come the
nearest to paying expenses of any year
in its history. 1t ran behind but $1,000
in 1908. Previous to that it's deficit
had been about $4,000 for the proceed
ing eight or nine years. In the WORK
of training nurses it had rank sec
ond to none. Mr.. Pennell was followed
by Drs. ]. A. Donovan and wallace
Cakes, who urged the needs of the m
stitution and pointed out that it was
not a local one, but State wide. Miss
Metcalf. superintendent OF the hospltai
also told of its needs.
Thomas l.. Talbot of Portland had
charge of the presentation OF the needs
| of the Maine General hospital. That
institution asked for s67.775 for main
tenance and a building fund for 100?
| and s12.5OO for 1910. Judge Nathanlei
Hobbs was the first to present the
needs of the hospital. He related the
good work which it had done IN the
mast. how it had grown and outlined
the desires of it's friends for the future.
DR.. Charles Smith. superintendent Oh
| the hospital, said that the object OF the
| hospital was to do the greatest good 10
the greatest number of the deserving
| nublic His policy had been to use all
| tho money thew could for increasing
| tho amount of free treatment given Dv
the hospital, rather than to do such
great amount of repairing. Had TINS
not been the case they would not De

| DIR. Smith urged the necessity OF a
cement floor in the basement, saying
that the man who would put dirt
floor under a hospital in these days
would be regarded as crazy, yet that
was what they had at the hospital.
Mr.. Talbot took as the keynote Tor
his remarks the desire OF the MANAGE
ment of the hospital to increase tne
number of free patients who could DE
cared for at the institution. He also
discussed the amount of this Work
which had already been done In l9os
there were 3S5 free patients treated

MICROBES In The SCALP
The Latest Explanation is That Nj.
crobes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand of Paris,
France. share the honor OF having dis
covered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through few
weeks work of these hair microbes,
but is the result of conditions brought
about by their presence. Badness may
not occur until years after the MI
crobes begin work, but it is certain to
come sooner or later
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on fatty matter about
blood is absorbed Finally the fatty
matter is wholly consumed. the food
supply of the hair is gone and it
starves and finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both
germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin,
though not a dye, restores natural col
or to hair when loss of color was caus-
ed by disease. These curatives proper
ly mixed with alcohol as a stimulant,
perfect a remedy unequalled for cur
ing scalp and hair troubles.
We want everyone who has any scalp
or hair trouble to try ReXall '93" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these ingre-
dents. If it does not grow hair on your
bald head, stop your hair from falling
out; cure you Of dandruff: make your
hair thick, silky, luxuriant: if it does
not give you complete satisfaction In
every particular return the empty bot
tie to us, and we shall return every
penny You paid us for it, without ques-
ton or formality.
OF course, you understand that when
we say that ReXall "93" Hair Tonic
will grow hair on bald heads, we do not
refer to cases where the roots are en-
tirely dead. the pores of the scalp clos
| ed, and the head has the shiny appear
ance of a billiard ball. In cases like
this, there is no hope. In all other
cases of badness ReXall '93" Hair
Tonic will positively grow hair, or cost

LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
South Portland City Charter Amend
ments-LincoIn's Birthday.

Four acts to amend the charter o!
tie city of South Portland were under
consideration by the committee on leSa
affairs Thursday afternoon. Mayor
| Fred G. Hamilton, and City Solicitor
| Lauren NJ. Sanborn appeared before
| the committee in regard to the pro-
posed changes to the city charter.
| The only radical change in the pro-
posed amendments to the city charter
was the act. which provided for the
creation OF department OF public
works with il commissioner, who should
l'be a civil engineer, elected for three
years and who should have charge OF
all sewer and sidewalk work. Mr.. San
born explained that the proposed
amendment would consolidate the Of
tlce of street commissioner and city
engineer and place the entire work UNI
der the direct superintendent of
committee from the board of aldermen.
Mayor Hamilton stated that by unan
imous vote of the Board of Aldermen
Of the city of South Portland City So
licitOr SanbOrn had been instructed to
draw ur the four acts under cmsidera-
ton for presentation to the Legislature.
Representatives Hall of Caribou spoke
in behalf Of the act to make the ami
versary of J4incoln's birthday school
and bank holiday and alluded to the
fact that the committee on the OBJ
servance of Lincon's birthday by the
Legislature had already decided in ia
vor of legislative observance. Gowell
OF York thought there were too many
school holidays already, particularly
in the1first of the year. Representative
Coolidge of Lewiston figured that with
the present holidays and the time al
lowed for attendance at State and coun-
ty conventions the teachers already had
IL holidays during the time of the school
year. Representative Marshall Of Port
land said that he had serious doubts
whether the proposition to make an
other school holiday would meet with
the approval of the school authorities
OF the city of Portland. Representative
Coolidge of Lisbon was in favor in
stead of making another school holiday
of repeating the act which provided
that teachers be allowed four days for
attendance at teachers conventions. He
said that he was not so much opposed
to giving the teachers the holidays, as
lie was to the turning loose for four
days, as was the case in his own town,
of 900 scholars.
After discussion in executive session
of the matters recommended ought to
pass upon the four acts in amendment
TO the South Portland city charter and
the presentation to the House in new
craft of the act making a school and
bank holiday of Lincoln's birthday. At
tta reuileSt of Senator C01cord IF Wal
do act relating to the records of real
estate III tho county Of Waldo was re-
ferred to the Waldo county delegation.

It is probable that within few days
the name of the Augusta City hospital
will be changed to Augusta hospital,
in accordance with vote of the in
corporators of the institution. The
matter has. however to come before
the Legislature and a bill providing
for the change of name of the hospital
was introduced Thursday by Senator
Macombcr. 1t is understood that there
is no doubt that the bill will pass and
it will probably BECOME q law within
few days. 1t is~eXpected that the
change of name will be benefit to the
hospital as it will serve to dispN the
impression on the part or some that it
is a charitable institution.

on the Winthrop line were also bother

COOK MADE MORE THAN 100000
He May Carry on Medical Mission
in Southern Greenland


New York, Dec. 24.-Thus ends
one of the most fascinating chapters
in all the romance of exploration.
Honored by the King of Denmark,
heralded by the University of COpen-
hagen, garlanded with wreaths of ro-
ses by young girls, accorded the free
dom of the city of New York and ac-
claimed by thousands through the
length and breadth of the land as the
bravest man who ever dared the sill
ent terrors of the Arctic, DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook stands discredited in
the house of his friends.
Interest turns to three questions:
Where is the doctor? What will he
have to say for himself? What will
he do with himself?
AT one time Cook said that IF the
university should find against him he
believed he should go back among
the Eskmeaux of southern Greenland
and try to carry on there such a med
zeal mission as Doctor Grenfell has
made famous
Henry Wellington Wack, Doctor
Cooks lawyer and the friend who is
the authority for the statement above
were both asked last night how much
money they thought Doctor Cook had
made from the sale Of his narrative
to newspapers in this country and
abroad and from his lectures.
More than $4,000" said Mr..
Wack. More than 100000" said
the friend. Both agreed that, should
the doctor elect TO spend the remain
der of his days in retirement he need
never want for comforts.
