Farmers Not Fooled
By Democratic Talk

Troy. Me, Sept. 3.-tSpeeiaD.-It
certainly looks like a Republican vic
tory in Waldo county, this year The
greatest rally of years was held al
Troy Grange hall. Friday evening,
with Hon. A. L. Blanchard of Bangor
and Hon. Edward E, Burpee OF Rock
land as speakers. Excellent music
was furnished by Pomeroy's Orches
ira of five pieces.
The hail was packed with an en-
thusiastic, applauding crowd. Every
seat was taken extra benches brought
in till every inch OF space WAS taken
and many stood around the doors and
in the entry for two hours. and lis
tened to Republican truths and the
story of broken Democratic pledges
and fake. arguments. Time and time
again the speakers were forced to
pause while cheers and applause
shook the old hall
The farmers know that Democratic
vote is a vote for reciprocity and the
licensed saloon and the vote on Sept.
8 will show that the smooth-tongued
Pattangall and his associate Hanson
cannot fool the people in this section
when their homes and pocketbooks are
at stake.

ARREsTIMe FLIeHT OF TIME
German Scientists Advise the Eating
Of Egg Shells by Those Who
Approach Old Age.

Two Germans, deep thinkers--Pro-
fessors Emmerich and Loewe-state
that egg shells eaten increase the
power Of resistance against the with
ering blight of time" add weight to
the body, activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent infam-
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Philip
Hale writes in the Boston Herald, of
the preparation advertised in London
thirty or more years ago as removing
superfuous hair, being an excellent
substitute for table butter, none genu-
Inc unless stamped on the blade.
Eustace Miles, the English court ten
mis- player and vegetarian. says he had
an old nurse who used to eat egg
shells and crunch them joyfully be-
between the teeth that happened to
meet, and she said she ate the shells
because they Shaved the hair OF in
side of the throat" The discovery
of the German scientist is peculiarly
welcome to dwellers by the ocean,
for it is a well-known fact that If you
do not break egg shells the witches
will put out to sea in them to wreck
vessels. and If you burn the shells
the hens will cease to lay. Further
more, as eggs are now absurdly high
even case eggs-in the neighbor-
hood it seems a pity to waste any
part Of them.
