A Luminous Record.

Former Governor Burleigh is put
ting in some very effective work in
his campaign for the Senate-and he
knows just how TO do it. He's by all
odds the best equipped campaignef in
Maine. His achievements as legis-
lator make up luminous record. Here
is an item of recent history:
In 1900. Governor Burleigh, against
overwhelming odds. including the ae-
tive opposition of Mr.. Cannon and 9TH
er great House leaders, and in the
face of predictions of utter defeat, in
trodueed the bill saving to Maine her
four representatives in the reapportion-
ment. and by his brilliant and effec-
tive work carried ii through to vic
tory. The National Magazine which
published a fine portrait of Governor
Burleigh at that time, declared that.
while there We're many great speakers
in the National House, its great or
ganizers could be counted on the fin
gers of two hands, and that Governor
Burleigh was recognized as one of
them. 1t further declared that the
victory won by him in securing the
passage of the Burleigh bill was .one
of the greatest personal triumphs ever
achieved by a member of the National
House"

In a paper before the American

Charles r. Stockard, of the Ger

when guinea pigs were put into a

are aborted early in development,
or reach term and are then born
dead Only a few are born alive
and the great majority of these
die after short time, showing
many nervous disorders and dying
in commissions. A normal female
when mated with an alcoholic
male gives an almost equally poor
result. This shows that the pa

the alcohol and are thus rendered
unable to give a normal combina-
ton and abnormal offspring are
produced Abnormal and deform-
