100000 TO
FIGHT A WORM

A million dollars has been con-
tributed by John D. Rockefeller
for the determination Of the Hook
Worm.
Scientists have now proven that
the pale anaemic condition and
listless inanition of hundreds Of
thousands of Southern people is
caused by an intestinal worm.
The Hook Worm is only one Of
fifty species of Worms that are
known to infest the human mites.
tines. Many cases of stomach
troubles, blood impOverishment
and general debility and weakness
are caused by Worms.
DR.. John F. True Of Auburn,
Me-, was fifty years in advance of
his time. He recognized this in
1851 and gave to the world DR..
True's Elixir, which positively Elk
pels Worms.
Whenever a laxative is needed,
DR.. True's Elixir should be taken.
1t is not only The Best Tonic Lax
alive ever devised, but it absolute
ly expels all animal life (worms)
from the system. Worms cannot
exist where DIR. True's Elixir is
taken.
Instead of pills, syrups, or car
thartic tablets, why not take DR..
True's Elixir? 1t fulflls every
thing that is asked Of a laxative
and also insures the expulsion
from your system of all pernicious
animal life, if any exists there.
Children, especially, are fire.
quently sickly, peevish and fretful
from no other cause than worms.
DR.. Trae's Elixir makes them
healthy, strong and well.
Many a man finds himself list
less and without energy; does not
know what is the matter with him.
Cannot seem to put any force In
to the days work; has no vim. A
few days. treatment with DR..
Trus's Elixir will correct these
conditions.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Bills carry
ing an appropriation Of $4,000 each
for sites and public buildings at
Hallowell and Skowhegan, Me-, were
introduced in the House today by Rep
resentative Burleigh.
This means that the representative
from this district Is making another
attempt to get an appropriation for
new postoffice, the need OF which
was long ago impressed upon Show
hogan residents. 1t goes without
saying that the present Office of the
post is inefficient. There ia no i'm
provement more desired at present
than that for which Representative
Burleigh is working.
Representative Burleigh excels In
putting bills OF this nature through
the House. This fact does not i'm
port that he can insure us the pass
age of the bill In question. nor that
the failure Of the bill would be laid
at his door. We only expect to be
represented to the best Of his proved
ability in such affairs. and we watch
hopefully for favorable news from
Warrington.

AS For The Suffragette

We are in receipt of letter from
the officers of the Massachusetts AS.
ISOLATION opposed to the Further Elk
tension of Suffrage to Women 1--WE
believe this Is the full name OF the
organization) asking us to give space
In this paper to some OF their iitera-
ture. 1t Is very modest request and
should receive better attention than
we are able to give it. But. to tell
the honest truth, we confess to a lit
tie shyness in mixing up in this suf-
frage business. We have no doubt
of the fact that our shyness has been
caused in large part by the news
paper accounts of the work OF the
suffragettes and their opponents. The
Handsome suffragette," and the
EARNED suffragette," are terms of
such common meeting that they strike
terror into our hearts and heads. We
hesitate therefore to publish suffra-
gette matter that might provoke an
onslaught. Our offices are not so well
stocked with the goods that prolong
life that we could Withstand very
long siege; and entertaining, as we do,
nothing but the kndliest feelings to-
wards all members of the fair sex, we
feel constrained to forego for the
present any comment on this much
mooted question of women's voting.
We do not happen to know-which
is unfortunate-just how the women
OF SkOwhegan line up on this suffra-
gette proposition; but, broadly speak
ing, II they are "agin" it we should
feel like supporting their contention;
but II, on the other hand, they are
heart and soul for 1t, why we should
feel like taking up with that posi-
ton. In short, we are willing to do
almost anything to keep peace In the
family and to get on lovingly with
the fair ones. But as for publishing
non-suffragette matter that may be
sent US from Observation-Disclosures
knowing the temper of the feminine
citizenry of Skowhegan.-perish the
thought! We are for peace or death.

Maine Is Progressive

At a recent banquet given in hon.
or of a prominent Maine educator
who Is about to leave the State, one
of the speakers is reported as say
ing:
1.-THE problem of how to retain the
talent which 10 a characteristic pro-
duct of Maine institutions. while the
State in point of population Is stand
ing still, Is a most serious one and
demands the earnest consideration OF
every patriotic citizen.
There are two points in the above
paragraph which deserve considera-
ton. The first is that brainy citizens
should be permitted to go from our
State without protest and induce
ments to remain.
1t is undoubtedly true that because
of larger salaries and chiefly because
of larger opportunities. Maine-bred
men leave the State in considerable
numbers; but after all the occasion
should not be one for bitter lamenta-
ton What may be one States loss
II another's gain, and there is moth
ing under heavens that separates one
State from another but a more or
less disputed imaginary line. Wherev-
or a citizen of Maine Is he Is an
American citizen. We believe that alto
gether too much emphasis Is placed
upon the fact that a man belongs to
this or that State, and also that State
pride interferes oftentimes with our
Americanism. A good and useful
citizen is an asset to the country
first, and to his Immediate commune
7ty second. and when we get this
larger view of things we shall cease
to lament the going from among US
Of those who find larger opportuni-
ties elsewhere for their splendid tai
ents. We believe that for the size Of
the State Maine keeps at homo very
large number. Of her sons and daugh-
tiers; that she should be able to md

The second point 10 that Maine Is

statement Is made so often by those

The statement contained In the above
paragraph Ia untrue. Maine Is not

Those who do not believe our asser-
ton would do well to consult some
reliable book which gives the census
OF Maine since 1920
Ii Is to be noted that the actual
population of Maine is not given In
the census returns. AS a real matter
of fact Maine has over | 10000 peo-

make the State their home for third

ed we had over 100000 summer tour
lists in our midst. and every year Is
seeing an increase in their numbers.
Maine is progressing In every re-
spect and Is keeping pace with a great
many other states OF the Union; and
the impression ought to be correct

is not In control the State is there

A Political Crisis

The market letters which were sent
out on Saturday last from Wall street
are anything but cheerful in tone.
We have followed these letters pretty
carefully for many weeks and have
been agreeably surprised at the OPP
timistic spirit which seemed to be
carried in them. That change OF
spirit has come is certainly not to
be wondered at considering the wide
spread discussion of matters which
vitality interest the money center OF
this great country.
The Saturday letters prophecy
among other things that money is go
ing to be tighter during this present
wear than it was during the year Just
past. This is certainly not pleas
ing prophecy. The good Lord knows
that money was tight enough during
1909 to satisfy the greed of the mon
ey lenders.
The reports are also critical in
temper. They criticise the position
taken by President Taft on the ques-
ton of the regulation Of railroads and
industrial corporations. The Wall
street people do not take kindly to
any further Capitalization of power
in our national government such as
they see. in prospect If the Taft ideas
prevail. They claim that these ten
denotes in the government should be
checked. Perhaps they are right and
perhaps they are wrong. AS for US,
we are willing to take our chances
with the President hoping that
some form of regulation may event
ually be worked out.
These letters consider at some
length the agitation of the increased
cost of living. They see in it an OPP
portunity for the demagogue as we'll
as for the statesman to make out OF
1t much political capital. They hold
to the belief that great advantage is
being taken of this discussion by the
laboring class to force to higher
notch the price of wages. 1t is right
ly claimed by the Wall street inter-
ests that extravaganza has more to
do with the increased cost of living
than many are willing to admit.
After all, they take rather sober
view of the market situation. Those
who time the pulse Of the markets
seem to discover some hopeful symp-
toms and this furnishes courage
courage to the money changers. But
to those interested in the success OF
political and party principles the
patients condition does not seem
quite as hopeful. The protracted dis
cussion of the high cost of living Is
surely furnishing splendid capital to
those of the democratic party who
are ready to invest 1t where it will
bring high interest later on. The
situation certainly suggests to such
as are Immediately concerned In the
making of laws and in protecting the
interests of our 100000 people that
the causes for the high cost of living
be discovered and removed. The
country Is facing political crisis
and the bald statement that there
will be large increase next season
in the number of hogs, will not ap-
probably relieve the rather embar-
assing situation. The rank and file
believe that there have been too
many other hogs Of the human vari-
iety In control of the production and
distribution of the necessaries of life.
