What. THE KIDNEY DO.
Their Unceasine Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily. when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, not, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

ton has conceded the accuracy of the
Sentnel's figures. so the situation is
distinctly up to the Governor.
Instead of meeting this like man,
giving the facts without reserve, and
pointing where the real responsible
ity lies Fernald is going about max
ing a general denial and asserting
that the state treasury is full.
Such proclamations carry about as
much weight with the hard headed
voters of Maine. as the conventional
plea of mot guilty" before a police
court, and they are a positive me-
mace to Republican success in Sep
tember. Until the facts themselves
are forthcoming, non-partisan voters
will be inclined to accept the Demo-
cratic inferences and deductions as
true.
But disappointing as the Fernald
administration has been, and dis
tasteful as another must necessarily
be, the program put forward by the
opposition leaves little opportunity
for choice. Even If Plaisted was a
wholly desirable candidate for gov
ernor, he would be practically pow
erless to remedy the conditions with
which his party finds so much fault.
The business system of the State
must be changed to accord with busi-
ness requirements.
When we inquire what the Demo-
cracy proposes in this connection, we
are met with only the vague asser-
tions of their party platform. Had
they named Charles P. Hatch as their
candidate for auditor, they might
then, perhaps, lay some claim to SIN
cerity. but as on many former oc-
casion. this golden opportunity was
thrown away. The present auditor
knows the needs of the States bust
ness and enjoys the confidence OF the
neople. We believe that a Republic
can governor and a Republican legls-
lature will follow his leadership un-
til the people of Maine actually re-
ceiye one hundred cents of value Tor
every dollar publicly expended.

ducing 27S,985,0O0 bushels with an
average for 1908 of 85.7 and for ten

A glance at this summary shows
that the average yield in Maine, 225
bushels per acre, Is consider
ably more than for any of the other
nine states, while no other state list
ed shows an average yield for 1908
of more than so bushels. These con-
ditions are not peculiar to the ex-
treme season of 1908; the average
yield for the past ten years shows
that the production per acre In Maine
is nearly twice that of any of the
other nine states enumerated, though
there does not seem to be sufficient
difference in the climatic or other ma
tural conditions to account for this
wide variation.

Sprague and Orono

Robert ]. Sprague as president OF
the University of Maine would GER
tainly fill the bill. No one acquaint-
ed with that able gentleman could
entertain a doubt on that point.
Would that he were a personal ac-
quaintance of every voter in the
State.
Maine has already entered upon the
greatest era of development she has
ever known, but there is yet some
question whether that development
shall be carried out with reference
to the dollar or to the man. In the
cIashings of factions, such as have
always accompanied the settlement OF
questions of this kind, Maine needs
the leadership of strong man; one
with the vision of a statesman and
the courage of a crusader.
Under the initiative and the refer
endum the future legislative acts OF
Maine must measure up to the stan
dard of "the greatest good to the
greatest number" Many of them will
doubtless be enacted by popular vote.
Where should the electors look for
guidance on such occasions If not to
the head of the State University?
Professor Sprague would bring to
the presidency at Orono mature
mind, rich in the knowledge of all
those factors that go to make up that
Kaleidoscope thing we c.; civiliza-
tion. In Fastening those golden days
when veery toiler shall enjoy just
reward for his labor, and their sons
and daughters be schooled to cope
successfully with the problems of
life, he must surely be potent fac
tor. What choice could be more ap-
propriate.

E. b. R0welI Making Success In AL
falfa Crop.

E, B. Rowell. who lives on the
East Madison road a few miles north
of Skowhegan, is one of that rapid
Iy growing group of farmers who
one of these days will make Maine
the greatest agricultural State this
side of the great west. incidentally
he enjoys the luxury of good motor
car in addition to some of the other
good things of life.
Mr.. Rowell doesn't lay much stress
on the word can't, that explains why
he is experimenting with alfalfa In
spite of the fact sundry of the nom
progressives still insist that it can't
be grown in Maine. To be sure no
one has yet made much of a COM
mercial success growing alfalfa in
the "Sunrie State" but one would
not have to go back SO many years
to find 600 bushels of potatoes grown
on a measured acre, classed with the
impossibilities. Just as soon as our
people learn the requirements of the
alfalfa plant as they have learned
the requirements of the potato plant,
this matchless legume will be seen
in all directions.
We had the pleasure and satisfac-
ton of visiting Mr.. RowelPs farm
last week, and he showed us as nice
a quarter acre of alfalfa as one need
ask to see. 1t was sown broadcast
on the Goth of June, and during a
little less than six weeks had come
up and attained height of at least
foot. The color, too, was that dark
rich green that told of health and
vigor in every leaf. OF course there
was nothing accidental In all this, as
Mr. Rowell kindly explained.
The land-which was sloping
enough to insure excellent drainage
had been ploughed early in the
spring. Next it had received a heavy
coat of dressing, followed by re-
peated harrowings. With the addi-
ton of a quarter ton Of agricultural
lime the preparation of the seed bed
was then complete.
Weeds were beginning to appear
so of course the patch will need
clipping to keep them In check, but
otherwise the venture is well on It's
way toward ultimate success or fail
ure Heretofore alfalfa in Maine has
generally failed to survive the win
ter. Whether or not such will be
the fate of Mr.. Rowell's plot, only
time can tell, but its present lusty
appearance makes us very loath to
anticipate failure.
