Portland Chiidren's Hospital.

Portland ChiIdren's Hospital.
One of the acts OF Gov. Plaisted, to
which we doubt if in after years he
will 'spoint with PRIDE, was the Veto
ing of the bill providing for the main
tenance of the chiidren's hospital in
Portland. This institution, a most
worthy, charitable one, and doing a
work of the greatest Importance to
humanity, is facing a crisis which
threatens its very existence.
Unless it shall secure s25, 900 by
May l, it must close its doors. The
people of all Maine are asked TO make
mp this sum for the institution. This
hospital cares for those crippled and
deformed little ones, who without
proper surgical treatment must for
ever live hopeless existence, in
many cases burden upon their fami-
lies and the town and State. No
patient pays more than 81 day,
while the per capita cost OF caring
for them is s143, and the majority
pay nothing at all. At this time
sixty I've patients are there. OF
these forty-one pay nothing, the
other twenty-four paying 81 or less a
day.
None of those connected with the
medical or surgical staff receive pay
for their services, nor are they per-
mitted to take any of their private
patients to the institution. The doors
Of the hospital are open to every
crippled and deformed child in Maine,
free of charge, so long as there is an
empty bed in the wards or chance
10 place one in a corridor.
Hancock county sent nine patients
TO the hospital during the year end.
ing Dee. 1, 1910. or these four paid
nothing, the other five paying 81
day. These patients were sent from
Bucksport, Isle an Haut, SWANS Is
land, South Penobscot, Bar Harbor,
Ellsworth.
The hospitals board of managers
ask the people of Maine to contribute
to this fund; already some generous
subscriptions have been received.
All sums are welcomed, and the small
giver is appreciated as we'll as is the
large one.
THE AMERICAN will be glad to re-
ceive contributions and forward them
TO the committee, or subscriptions
may be sent direct to the committee,
room 615, Union Mutual building,
Portland. Checks should be made
payable to The Children's Hospital.

The brown-tail moth contest in Sedg-
wick grange resulted in the collection of
s,S35 nests in Sedgwick and neighboring
towns. And some towns Of Hancock
county will tell you they have no brown
tail mothsl One woman alone, at Sedg-
wick, collected 1,oo6 nests. A brown-tail
moth contest ought to be an annual
feature in every grange of the State. 1t
would nake play of most important
work in which the supper won by the
victorious side would be but small part
of the reward to the whole community.
West Ellsworth grange has already
started such contest.

State, and has always helped pile up big
vote for him at election time.
Although the democrats, OF recent
years, have been very active in central
Maine, and especially in Kennebec
county, Of which his home city OF Augusta
is the seat, he has retained many good
friends in their ranks, and but for an I'M
expected detection in a couple OF cities,
which might have been avoided, would
have even survived the big landslide OF
last September.
Maine has very few living former repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Burleigh is the only sur
vivor in that class, save one who served
a term and half. Maine republicans
have long followed the policy OF keeping
their representatives at Washington, and
of promoting representatives OF long and
efficient service to the Senate.

Owing to the neglect Of the late la
mented ~ legislature to attach the
emergency clause to the State tax act
of 1911, State taxes cannot be legally
assessed until July l, consequently
many of the towns of the State will
be obliged to make two assessments.
This viii put the local boards Of as
SCISSORS to much inconvenience, az
tho State tax 10 usually assessed April
4 l and can b included in the local as
sessment, which is usually made be-
fore Jnly. Under present conditions
it Is understood that the local as
SCISSORS can ascertain what the State
tax will be, but il assessed before July
! IT win, according to the law, be IL
legal.

They Know Mr.. Mace.
From the Springfield Mass Republic

From the Springfield tMass.) Republican,
Through the frequent visits OF
many Springfield people to Alligator
lake, near Great Pond, Hancock
county, Me-, there is local interest in
the appointment on Monday, by Gov.
Plaisted, of Frank E. Mace, of Great
Pond, to be forest commissioner and
land agent, succeeding Edgar E.
Ring, of Orono.
Mr.. Mace is one of the well-known
democrats of his State, is a member
of the State committee from Hancock
county, and has been honored by bis
party in the past with . nomination
for the State senate. He is a member
OF the present legislature, and the
Bangor Nesrs says OF him, editorially,
that "He has held good position in
the House and proved himself wise
and conservative legislator
The Nesos says further that Mr..
Mace brings to the duties OF the Office
qualifications similar to those pos
sessed by his predecessor, that he has
also engaged in numbering and log
ging, is thoroughly conversant with
forest conditions and should prove a
valuable official for the State.

Beating the Mail-Order House.

1t is reported that the mail-order houses
experienced q shrinkage in business the
past year amounting to q ,000, 900. and we
have it from the head OF one Of the biggest
mail-order houses that this shrinkage is
due to the retail merchants learning to
advertise their prices in big figures.
The live retail merchants are learning to
look out for specials, provide them for
customers and advertise them and the
prices. Prices are what the customers
and the advertisement readers want, and
nowadays pretty nearly all customers
are advertisement readers-they come for
goods they see advertised.
With the great mass OF consumers the
local papers take the place of the mail
order catalogue-the live merchant makes
this so. The progressive, wide-awske
merchant can beat the mail-order houses
in his locality. He has q hundred adyan-
tages to the mail-o order houses, one that
OF purchase or manufacture in large guam
tity.
The merchant who is "onto his jobn
to-day can very nearly overcome this ad :
vantage at that, with buying right, and
making many sales on. small margin. But
he's got to advertise, and his advertising
must be as specific as that of the mail order
catalogue. The old-fashioned method

said on each occasion about ''taking care
of Maine. That was the object Of Mr..
Burleigh's activity in behalf Of both bills.
The State has been anxious to retain its
four members OF the House.
MIR. Burleigh has borne no small part
in the public building legislation of the
last decade. He had Q place on the
public building committee, next to the
chairman, and was champion of the
governments transacting its business
in buildings that it owned. He did much
hard preliminary work in preparing
omnibus building bills, served as chair
man OF one OF the leading sub-com-
mittees, the jurisdiction of which en-
braced all the New England states, and
conducted to final authorization . great
number Of public building projects. He
always discouraged the injection OF
politics into legislation Of this sort, and
insisted upon consideration OF the public
business as the sole basis for action.
Some years before coming to Congress he
served four years % governor OF Maine,
and 10 said to have given the State the best
business administration it had had in Z
quarter Of q century. He gave to state
AFFAIRS the same careful attention that be
had been accustomed to bestow upon his
private affairs. This policy brought him
wide popularity in every county Of the

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

When my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and thia
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. / had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as If he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. /
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad / was he felt better. 1t took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and / shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been nc
return of the trouble. / shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
