Test Stomach for Poison.

The decedent'S stomach was placed
in the hands of experts for chemical
examination. Coroner Hoffman di-
rected that the first test be made for
traces of morphine.
Chief of Detectives O'Brien stated
that DR.. Cleminson's declaration that
his wife had been chloroformed by
burglars and that he himself suffered
from the poison was utterly unworthy
of credence
The money and spoons which it is
alleged the physician said were stolen
were found in closet of his home.

Cleminson is alleged to have purchas-
ed flowers for two women. The or

been on file in the shop.
The case has excited great interest,
owing to the youth and comparative
prominence of the principals.
Makes Partial Confession.
DR.. Cleminson made a partial con-
fession to the police last night, in
which he admitted that the story he
had told Sunday in regard to a bur-
glary was false, and that he had de-
liberately hidden the silverware to
make it appear more real.
1t is said Dr. Cleminson made a /
fuller confession, but the police re-
fused to give out any more of it.

due to this variety of bacteria that there are so
many infective diseases: for each species of
bacteria creates it's own individual form of dis

This statement requires the following ex-

For example, the typhoid bacillus finds its
food in certain minute glands of the small
bowels. If these glands are in perfectly
healthy state when the bacillus enters the
digestive tract, the germ will pass over them
and disappear from the body perfectly harm
less. But if the bacillus finds its appropriate
food-dead or decomposing matter-in the
glands, it at once takes up its abode in them
and begins housekeeping; that is, it begins
to multiply according to the method of fission

described. During this process the multiplying

not only assist materially in maintaining vege-
table and animal life on this planet, but in the
arts and industries they essential to
modern economic life as are the ingenious me-
chanical inventions of men. Many secret
processes now in use in the arts and manu-
features are but devices to harness these natu-
raj forces. Thus in the manufacture of linen,
hemp, and sponges, in the butter, cheese. and
vinegar industries, in tobacco curing, etc,
bacteria play an important role"
Bacteria for Every Condition
TT naturally occurs that to meet the various
conditions under which decomposing mat
ter exists in nature there is a great variety of
species of bacteria, each species being adapted
to special field of operations. These species
are distinguished from one another by the
shapes they assume during their growth, some
being rod shaped (the bacillus), Others spherical
(the coccus), and Others spiral (the spirillum)
Under one of these divisions the various species
are classified.
In these latter days of popular knowledge of
scientific progress, but without precise informa-
ton of details. bacteria are associated in the
public mind with disease, especially of the
epidemic form. While this prejudice is useful
in stimulating the people to adopt and enforce
preventive measures against conditions that
tend to promote bacterial life in their homes
and in their own persons, yet it should be I'M
derstood that comparatively few of the great
number and variety of bacteria are pathogenic,
or disease producing. in man.
So throughout the animal kingdom we find
that few are susceptible to common disease
Or in other words, that the same species of
bacteria attack with equal force several varie-
ties of animals.
The explanation of this popularity is found
in the variations of the quality intimate
nature of the tissues and organs of different
species of animals. The same may be said of
our own bodies,-the several organs vary
greatly in their susceptibility to the attacks Of
are classified as specific and nonspecifc, ac-
disease.
The distribution of bacteria is limited only
by the existence of plants and animals; that
is, the existence of decomposing vegetable and
animal matter. Though they are more album
dant in the earth where such matter is found
most abundantly, yet they abound in the air,
the water, on plants. animals, and insects, on
our own bodies, and in every cavity leading to
the exterior. AS bacteria are always searching
for food, the number present is sure Indication
of the degree of cleanliness OF the thing in
dividual, or locality where they are found.
The movements of bacteria from one point
to another are through the medium of some
other mode of conveyance than their own
bodies afford. Thus they are borne by the
water. by vegetation, by animals of every
kind especially insects, by the air particles
of dust. The typhoid bacillus borne in water
and milk has caused innumerable epidemics of
that dreaded disease.

The Deadly Tubercle Bacillus

THE tubercle bacillus is borne on the air
through the medium of particles of dust,
and in cities where the victims of tuberculosis
scatter these germs profusely in the streets
public conveyances churches, and places of
resort, in tie act of coughing, sneezing, and
splitting, the dust borne the winds is con-
slant and most fertile source of infection of
tuberculosis. In city like New York thou
sands are annually infected by the dust borne
tubercle bacilli, not only by inhaling them in
the street. but even more certainly in the quiet
of their homes, where the germ bearing dust
accumulates in clothing, bedding, carpets
rugs, and upholstered furniture, and is daily
forced into the air of the living rooms by broom
and buster.
Foul as is the air of the unventilated tene-
ments of the poor, it has been demonstrated
that the dust which saturates the furniture
carpets, rugs, and hangings of the residences
of the wealthy contains sixty per cent of or
binary street filth.
An authority says, 1.-THE most widely dis
tributed pathogenic microorganism disease
causing bacterium) in the air is the tubercle
bacillus, the cause of consumption and large
variety of other ailments, such as hipjoint dis
ease, carries of the spine, etc. Over one hum
dred thousand persons die annually from con.
sumption alone in the United States, and it is
estimated that there are over two million
people afflicted with the disease in one form or
another. All of these sufferers are expeCtorat-
ing billions of tubercle bacilli daily"

How They Affect the Body

CONSIDERING the second inquiry as to how
infection affects the body, we must con-
stantly bear in mind that a bacterium, though
a scavenger, is a conservator of nature. its
real function in the orderly processes of animal
and vegetable life is to utilize waste for the
preservation and promotion of animal and
vegetable life this planet where the con-
ditions are 50 unfavorable to both.
Therefore, wherever we find bacteria in the
active process of growth, that is, multiplied
ton, we may be assured that they have found
matter that should be rescued from waste and
converted into useful food for plants. 1t fol-
lows that when we find a bacterium actively
growing in any part of our bodies it has found
some form of decaying matter that is not only

SCENIC PITCHER POND.

Through the kindness of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H.
who thoroughly enjoyed a recent visit to
Pitcher Pond. The morning dawned with
shadows, but threatening weather never defers
the plans at Pine Lodge. the neat and commod
ious cottage owned by Messrs. J. H. and R. H.
Howes on the eastern shore of this most
charming lake, which is only seven miles
removed from Belfast and that distance
apparently shortened by the interesting road,
particularly on the private way to the pond
All care of the condition of the cottage is
eliminated by placing the keys in trusty hands
capable of broiling the fish to nicely and
serving at table or in launching the boat. The
first pleasure to be enjoyed was row around
the pond, the propelling power furnished by
one pair of arms, although smaller ones would
have enjoyed substituting. A long string of
beautiful pond lilies made US less mindful of
an unkept promise to row on the trip back to
the cottage. The mountains in the distance,
the varied tones of the green slopes that sur
round the pond the well-kept, comfortable
cottages in their most attractive locations, the
miniature points and coves, combine to make
Pitchers of the most charming of our
inland resting places. With appetites sharp
ened by delightful early ride and more
interesting row we looked with anticipation of
assured realization on the we'll filled table,
graced by beautiful centre-piece of lilies and
ferns. The motor boat from Afhambra
brought over first the big boys; two of whom
found classmates, the numerals of which were
said in an undertone when the subtractons
from June, 1909, were made; but only through
fear that others present would doubt the YER
acity, particularly of the M. DIS. The

The flora at Pitchers is more attractive and
been privileged to explore. The July families
were we'll represented and our herbarium has
treasured specimens, from late April to autumn
frosts, gathered by one who knew every spot
here and whose presence removed is often
wildly recalled by flowers he loved so we'll.
Early evening came unawares, and with earn
est expressions of thanks for a delightful and
| restful day the guests started on the ride
home, varied by spur drives over roads where
nature instead of the road machine had left
grass and flowers on the surface. Soon good
nights were exchanged, and another day, bear
ing the pleasures of week, was classified in
the ready reference list.

1t is common thing to criticise farm
a4rs for failing to keep a detailed system
Of debt and credit with the numerous
branches of farm operations carried on
in the common mixed farming, and
theoretically this appears tie be the cor
rect thing. How it would work out in
practice is thus described by Mr.. Gilbert
the agricultural editor of the Maine
Farmer:
There is deal of the work about the
home and the farm that cannot be ac-
curately measured and set down in dol
lars and cents. Tell me, you wise ones
who criticise US, how much it costs to
milk a COW, scald the milk pals, ice the
refrigerator or feed the pigs, or what
part of the contribution to the minister
salary, or dues to the grange, should be
charged up against the cow. Yet these
and many more are all part of the run
ming expenses of raising the hay, corn
and potatoes and carrying on the farm.
The fact is, it is not practicable to keep
detailed accounts with each of the sever,
al departments of the farm.

The Rumford Falls Times has raised
an interesting question in newspaper
ethics. The Times recently published a
communication on the Maine Central
running Sunday excursions, and in COM
menting on the article the Times said
that it was just as unlawful for rail
road to run Sunday excursions as for the
store proprietors to keep their stores
open on the Sabbath. A local railroad
official then confronted the editor of the
Times with letter sent from the Times
Office to Col. Boothby, general ticket and
passenger agent of the Maine Central,
soliciting an advertisement for the Sun
day excursions. The Times replies that
it's editorial columns are not governed by
its advertising columns, nor vice versa,
and that it knows of no reputable news
paper whose policy is not the same.
There must be exceptions, of course. The
Journal claims to be reputable news
paper and it does not admit to its adver-
Using columns what is disproved of edi-
torially. Long before there was State
law imposing a penalty for the publica-
ton of liquor and lottery advertisements
all such advertisements were rigidly eX-
cluded from it's columns, and a like policy
has been pursued with regard to the
many fake schemes for defrauding the
public.
