UNITED STATES CENSUS
PRELIMINARY REPORT ON
LEWISTON MANUFACTURES

Washington, March "A preliminary
statement of the general results Of the
census Of manufactures for Lewiston.
Me-, has been issued by Director Sam. L.
Rogers, of the Bureau of the Census. De-
partment of Commerce. Il consists of a
summary comparing the figures of 1863
and 1914. by totals, prepared under the
direction Of Mr.. William n. Steuart, chief
statistician for manufactures
The figures are preliminary and subject
TO such change and correction as may be
found necessary from further examina-
ton OF the original reports.
The census of 1914, like that of 1915
with reference to manufactures, excluded
the hand trades. the building trades. and
account only Of establishments conducted
unde the factory system. in the last CEN
sus, also, as in that for 1853. statistics
were not collected for establishments
having products for the census year val
ued at less than 500, except that reports
were taken for establishments idle during
a portion Of the census year, or which
began operation during that year, and
whose products for such reason were val
ued at less than $40.
The word establishment" as used in
the census reports may mean more than
one min or plant, provided they are owned
or controlled and operated by a single
Individual, partnership, corporation, or
other owner or operator, and are located
in the same town or city.
The reports were taken for the calendar
year ending December 81, 1914. wherever
the system Of bookkeeping permitted fig
ures for that period TO be secured, but
when the fiscal year of an establishment
differed from the calendar year a report
was obtained for the operations of tnat
establishment for it's seal year failing
most largely within the calendar year
1914.
PERCENTAGES OF INCREASE
The population Of Lewiston at the CEN
sus Of 1910 was 2G,2i7, and ii is estimated
that it was 1900 on July l. 1914.
The statistics represent the esta blish-
ments located within the corporate limits
of the city.
The summary shows an increase at the
census of 1914 as compared with that for
1863, with the exception Of average num-
ber Of wage earners and salaries, which
show slight deceases. In the order Of
their Importance from percentage stand
point, the increases for the several items
rank as follows: Capital, % per cent ;
materials, li.1 per cent; primary horse
power, l2.G per cent; wages, ca per cent !;
salared employees, 80 per cent; and
value Of products, IA per cent
CAPITAL INVESTED.
The capital invested as reported in 1914
was 200, 4 gain Of s2,523.0 .00o or -
per cent. over sl2.639,Dr0 in 1893 In this
connection it should be stated that the
inquiry contained in the census schedule

Battery Candidates Practicing
in the Cage Preparatory to
Outdoor Practice for 1916
Baseball Team
WEALTH OF MATERIAL FOR
BOTH FIELDS

! The candidates for the University of
Maine baseball team are hard at work
in the cage getting in condition for the
opening of outdoor practice. AS the
indoor cage at Maine is smaller than at
most other colleges, much valuable
practice during the winter is lost AS
yet only the battery candidates are at
work. Captain Lawry has charge of
them. A general call will be issued
during the coming week, on account
of the poor facilities for indoor base
ball. Captain Lawry has outlined a
course which will condition the men for
the coming outdoor practice. The work
consists Of gymnasium work and run
ming on the outdoor track.
For box artists Maine should have at
least three Varsity men Mike" Dris-
coll, tfe husky southpaw, is giving in
dication Of a big improvement over last
season. Frost, last years second
string pitcher. should easily develop in
to winning pitcher with a little more
experience. Bonney, who pitched for
the second team last year, showed
something and with support should
make good this year.
To assist these three fingers. there
are two freshmen, who have good repu-
tations as prep school men. Stewart,
from Thornton Academy and Zeigler
another freshman twirler from Hunt
irgLon school.
Behind the bat, Maine, though not so
well fortified as in pitchers, can hardly
be called weak. Reardon, '1S who
caught number of the games last year,
is back again, and can be counted upon
for large part of the schedule Other
available material for this position are
Ruffner. 10 kriger, 10 and Pechham,
r'19. .,.
H The infield remains intact, excepting
the position of first base. Barrows.
&c, who played on the second squad
last year will try out for this position.
Barrows during last season showed
great form as fielder but was very
weak with the stick. The freshman
class presents several candidates for
this place, but it is not at all doubted
. that, if Barrows does not make good
at first, Rowe will be shifted from third
and a new man for the hot corner, de-
yeloped from the wealth of material for
that place. Captain Lawry. the best
?
down his old position, although there
are number Of other candidates who
will give him good rub. Pendleton,
/ II, and Rowe, Is, Of last years team,
will in all probability hold down the
other two positions.
For these infield positions there will
be a wealth of material. Beverly. '19,
of Bangor High; Coady, 10. who is an
all round athlete; Robinson, II, who
played on the second squad last year;
Mccarthy, Is, an old Lewiston High
man, are all available infield men.
The whole outfield will probably be
composed Of veterans, as Gorham, II,
Ruffner, '1G and Hackett. '16, Of last
years team, are all in college. Besides
the three already mentioned, Mangan,
16, Phillips, II, Weber, '16. Niles. Is,
Tierney, '19. Goliath, '19. Froberger 19
and Collins 10. are available.

SHEEP NOTES FROM LONG
BRANCH FARM, B0WD0INRAM

Last November we drove our sheep
in from the pastures and housed them
in their winter quarters in four barns,
with those already under cover. Ss5
sheep and lambs, practically one-half
being full bloods and one-haf grades
Cp to March ! We had increased our
flock, by purchase. to over 900 head,
and to date we haven't lost single
sheep or lamb by disease. Killing one
on account Of accident. Here is some
real proof that imported breeds. as well
as native sheep, will thrive splendidly
during our good Maine winters If given
proper care and feed. as losses during
housing time often amount to as high
as per cent, which would be a loss OF
about so in a flock Of this size.
Since January Is we have about 100
spring lambs. OF these about 70 are
full bloods and so grades.
March / one sweepstake Hampshire
spring lamb weighs Al lbs. and a
Cotswold FIVE weeks old 40 lbs. One
innbred Lonesome Lad lamb weighed
20 1-2 lbs. at birth. Twelve lambs came
along one forenoon and Is in one cold
night All In one barn and all survived
under good care.
Twelve sheep in succession had 20
lambs.
During the zero weather In February
the legs, tails and ears of some Of the
lambs would soon become covered with
a coating of ice. but the hardy little
fellows would soon shake themselves
up and come out all right under the
coaxing and good care Of their splendid
mothers sometimes without any outside
help. This applies especially to the
hardy Cheviots.
1916 thus far is bringing more than
the usual number of twins. The lamb
increase to date has averaged over 140
per cent, with the Shropshires over
ITS per cent. Last year the percentage
Of ram lambs was so per cent, this year
the case is reversed and the percent
age of ewes is about Is per cent. Lambs
this year are unusually strong and Wig
orous.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom

clearer and clearer. to wake up with
out a headache. backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath. in fact to
try inside bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day. drink a
glass OF real hot water with tea

as harmless means OF washing from
the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach Is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations. gases and acidity and
gives one splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin. SO hot water and limestone phos-
phate act on the blood and internal or
gans. Those who are subject to con-
stipation. bilious attacks. acid stom-
ach, rheumatic twinges, also those
whose skin Is sallow and complexion
pallid, are assured that one week of
inside-bathing will have them both
looking and feeling better In every
