Charter for Water District.

CudItcI lOI w dtCi Olsti1Sts
With the thought that a contract
might ultimately be made with the
Skowhegan Water Company and to
have some means at hand, in the
case the Water Company, having
done its best, could not meet the re-
quirements, the town voted, at the
meeting of January 6, to obtain a
charter, whereby it could itself sup
ply the deficiency. 1t was not con-
templated by this vote that the chart
er should become operative, only in
case the Water Company did not be-
come able, at the expiration of their
present contract, to fulfil new one,
but it was intended to have an instru-
ment that could be kept on hand, to
be made use of at that time, or at any
subsequent time, as occasion demand
ed. 1t is quite possible that the
Water Company may be in position
on the 10th day of August 1910 to
meet the needs of the town, and yet
in three, five or ten years that they
would fail utterly to keep their con-
tract. 1t is for this failure some time
during the term of their agreement,
and not at the outset, that the town
felt it specially necessary to provide.
Notwithstanding the explicit in
structions of the town, it seems that
the charter which has been asked for
can be used only in case the Water
Company fails at the very outset to
put itself in position to perform its
obligations. For any later failures,
SO far al this charter is concerned,
there is no remedy.
1t may well be asked by what right
the charter which the town voted to
seek is changed in this important
particular. The attorney in charge
may say in defense that he could not
obtain the charter which the town
desired and therefore modified it to
something that he could get enacted
This, however, can hardly be accept
ed as an explanation. The vote oil
the town could be interpreted only as
an order to get certain chartered
rights, or none at all. The charter
for which they voted was of very mar
row scope, giving the right to fur
nish water for fire purposes only
In view of all the circumstances sur
rounding the case it would seem the
legislature would have granted sc
simple an instrument without delay
However, if after a determined effort
the attorney in charge found himself
defeated, he could then report to the
town his inability to carry out theil
wishes, and await their further com
mands.
The instrument now before the
legislature may serve one useful pur-
pose. 1t gives the town an oppor-
tunity to offer such amendments as
they deem wise. = They can, there
fore, make over the instrument now
pending until, if granted, it would
be of some value.
There would be more satisfaction il
getting beat in square fight for
charter that would be worth some
thing, than there would be winning
out on charter, the provisions OF
which would serve no useful purpose
AS the case has developed, however
it is hard for the average citizen to
understand how the legislature could
fail to grant almost any privileges for
which the town might see fit to apply

Have you noticed the ladies' fash
ions for the coming season, as Illus
trated in the fashion plates and per-
iodicals? A lady dressed in the
height of fashion would look like a
bean pole in wrappers, or an ironing
board with a sheet wound around it.
An arbitrary attempt is made to sup
press the graceful curves, or whatever
ofcomeliness or beauty nature has be-
slowed upon the female form, and
make it straight up and down affair.
The feature of uniformity - making
all coons look alike - appears to be
the prevailing one. And then the
hatsl The good Lord help us! They
look like inverted brown bread dishes
with junk Of the crust stuck on one
side. We don't believe there are
many idiots in Maine who will adopt
these grotesque fashions.

1t was a foolish attempt to have the
Legislature vote away the peoples
money to advertise the State, when
this is already well done by railroad,
steamboat and hotel companies,
boarding houses, and the thousands
Of people who come to our borders,
each one of which becomes self COP
stituted bureau Of advertising. The
movement, which was defeated, was
emily to give somebody fat job.

 PREPARED FOR FARMING-J. A. Plattner returned yesterday from a visit of nearly a month in the states of Illinois and Missouri. It was not so much of a visit as business trip. for he returned with a load of four mules and farming implements for his ranch south of Mesa. The stock was sent through to Mesa. MT. Plattner had not been in the east for several years and he decided that if he goes again it will be in the summer time. He found the weather even at this time of the year too bracing for one who has lived continuously in the Salt River valley for a quarter of a century.

He has received as- surances from the schools in most of the larger towns in the territory that they will all send exhibits. There may not be as many exhibits from l the smaller schools as heretofore which is deplored. but it is expected the quality will be equal. if not bet | ter than in former years. Some oi the smaller schools and those in dis | tant parts feel that the trouble ant | expense is greater than is warranted by the premiums they might possibly take. all of which is to be regretted for in this department. as in all oth- CTS. there is desire to make qual. ity count. wherever it comes from ant regardless of quantity.

 Waters Are Used.

The blood Is natural antiseptic and germ-destroyer. That fact has long been recognized by medical men Under ordinary conditions 1t contains within itself sufficiently strong germi- cidal powers to destroy and eliminate all blood poisons. disease germs. mi crobes and bacteria.
 t The blood is alkaline in chemical reaction, and it's aikalinity alone will kill many germs. Then. the blood also forms antitoxins which neutral ize the poisons formed by the bac- teria. A considerable amount of the said bacteria Is burned up by the oxygen in the blood. Next are the aleNins. which hinder the growth and development of germs, and, finally. it is one of the functions of the white corpuscles to attack and kill the mi crobes. which they do by millions. and carry them away to the filters the lymph glands.
 But in spite of all these powerful precautions taken by Nature to keep the blood pure. and to enable it tc destroy and eliminate all blood poi sons. impurities and germs. and thus protect the system from invasion by disease. 1t very often happens that the blood becomes so overloaded with various impurities and bacteria, that it is utterly impossible for it to destroy and dispose of them without outside assistance.
 In such an emergency the only thing left to the blood to do. in order to prevent the self poisoning Os the .. s.e the impurities as possible through the pores of the skin. where they exhibit themselves in the form of boils, pim- ples. carbuncles. rashes. ana variots other localized inflammations ahd skin diseases.
