Abolish the Common Towel.

Dc you use a common towel at your
a custom as common as is the dipper
at the old pump. But the towel and
generation, as will many other of our
present day customs We think we
many of our habits are filthy in the
extreme when considered beyond the
fence of custom.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association says of the common
towel:
This household infection spreader is
abhorrent and repulsive to person
who mas been used to an individual
towel 1t is difficult to understand how
any one can wipe his face on Il soiled,
damp towel that has been used by all
the other members of the household
But custom is a great factor in moldihg
habits and allaying preiudiees hence
the necessity of pointing out at least
one reason why the common towel Is
dangerous. There are many germs
which will attack the eyes and cause
inflammation, providing the eyes are
in favorable condition for the germ
to develop at the time of it's introduc-
ton A germ which at one time vii
grow in the eye and cause intlamma
ton will at another time be perfect!
L.. h, u. "a IlSS- 4,
oneself may be exceedingly poison
Gus to another person and cause dan
gerous Inflammation of the eyes. Fol
hygienie reasons the common toWe
should be abolished in every home.

Fsttenina Babies for Market

That babies are actually fattened for
market and, moreover, that there is an
Exceedingly good market for them, are
two facts which are attracting public
notice. This practice, however. is a
benevolent one for experience has
shown that even if nobody loves fat
man, very few love a thin baby UNI
less it is their own. Therefore the SO
|cieties which look after the placing of
orphans in homes where they are
adopted have hit upon the scheme of
fattening them first.
How well this has worked is shown
by the fact that, through. one of the
leading institutionsA S&oted ito This

have been placed in good homes of
these s55 were girls. and it is said that
the demand for girls is so much great
er than for boys that 1t is hardly pos
sible to supply it. More than 200 were
less than two years old when placed
and no less than 800 were legally adop-
ted and are now heirs of their foster
parents. The agents investigated over
1000 applications in finding these 170e
homes.
Many families of wealth and affiu-
ence include one or more adopted chill
dren. The association referred to has
found that to find a home for de-
pendent child costs approximately so
and many are the donors on this basis |
who by agreement are kept Informed
as to the progress of the children for
whom their money is used. BY this
means it is said that a prominent |
of wealth is now kept con
stantly informed concerning a flock of
10 youngsters.

AS lecturer on his experiences
Archibald Forbes VAS very populaf.
and he was fond of recounting an ex-
perience of his debut in that capacity
at Lexen, Fffeshre. AS the story has
not been told in the papers 1t may be
conveniently done row. With a
humping heart the new lecturer APP
peared at the hall door shortly before
the starting time at o'clock. and not
wishing to push through great audi
ence on his way To the platform, he
asked the hallkeeper to conduct him TO
a side door "Ye medina mind re-
piled that functionary, not unkindls,
there's no crood," When Forbes en-
tered the hall he had to admit that the
keeper was quite correct. There was
not single soul present. After a
bit. however. man strolfed in and
calmly proceeded to choose a seat.
1t seems he was a commercial travel :

heavily on his hands. Nobody else

Revise Those Lectures!

tSpflngfleTU UfIVN'1
After Secretary Bryan gets through
drowning his sorrows in grape juice
he ought to take his Chautauqua lee
ture on The Signs OF the Times in
hand for a little up-te-date revision.
The sign of the times from the lhifa
Maine Congressional District deserves
to be included in the secretafys llst

As Maine went, so Will go the coun-
try in the congressional elections of
1914. The Progressives are dying OFT,
the Democrats are being repudiated
and the Republican party, the party OF
principles and of real progressive
achievements, will come into its own

One Lesson of the Election.
Oakland. Me. Sept.

Oakland, Me. Sept. 10, 1918.
Editor Kennebec Journal:
l feel that your paper has been po-
tent factor in bringing about the great
victory in the Third district.
You have been fair and conservative
and have net resorted to abuse of 9TH
err candidates or parties. This will not
only be a fearful blow to Democracy
and free trade but it will also show
to the Progressive element who voted
for Hon. E. NJ. Lawrence that very
large percentage of the men who vot-
ed for 'Tedde'' in 1912 did not there
by intend to leave the Republican par
ty.
The results of this great victory for
Republican principles will be very far
reaching.
Yours for good government,
r. w. LANGLEY.

(New York Evening SUM
On the face of the returns from
Maine, it is unmistakable that the dis
indignation in the Progressive party,
visible all over the country in recent
by-electicns, has made rapid progress
in the Pine Tree State. Apparently
the Progressive party is on the full
road to that complete collapse which
has in turn evertaken so many parties
of protest, which endured for an cleo
ton or two and then vanished.
In the morning news Theodore Roose-
welt is quoted as repeating his familiar
statement that the only solution he
can offer for Republican, Progressive
division is that "the Republicans mus
come over to- us.ri This falls in oddl,
with The Maine figures which show
that more than half the Progressives
have found a simpler and more salts
factory solution.

plowed the ground in the fall he was
surprised to find that the share threw
out big potatoes where he had expected

appeared to have no eyes, but there were
several small knobs on each tuber.
"Struck with the popularity, Money
discarded all the potatoes which had eyes
and year ago last spring planted only
the eyeless tubers. Only Il few sprouts
appeared. but Money kept the weeds
down this time and when he dug into the

Call me to battle, but in vain.
Or if | am afraid to rise
And bear a burden of gray skies,
Then to my sick heart requiem gives
| am too poor a thing to live.
If hands of mine forget to pray
And torn feet fear a stony way.
My heart grow weary of the quest
And long for an untimely rest
Then cross my hands and let me be.
Life is too fierce and sweet for me-
If open lands and windy skies
Wake not new wonders in mine eyes.
Or through the goodly world | go
And love no friend and hate no foe
Then. though my destined days abound
Let me be lying underground.
But while | love the wind that blows,
And scent a mystery in a rose,
Or while my torn feet do not tire,
And heart of mine seeks high desire
Then. though spectre, gaunt and wan
