POWER AND PULP
COMPANIES COMBINE

At a meeting of the officials of both
companies the Central Maine Power
Company of Waterville and the Show
hogan Pulp Company held here Thurs
day. the deal which has been under
consideration was put through by means
of which the company first mentioned
became possessed of the real estate and
water power of the pulp company, in
GLIDING the buildings Which they occupy
in conducting management of Charles
F. Young, and the plant of the Maine
Spinning Company. The purchase also
gives the Central Maine Power Company
the controlling ownership of the SHOW
hogan Ban Company which includes the
Kennebec water powers in Skowhegan
Harvey B. Eaton, Esq. president OF the
Central Maine Power company stated
that the Skowheean Pulp Company had
leased the buildings and privileges
which have just been sold for two
years while the Maine Spinning COM
pany held contract for longer period
He did not vouchsafe further informa-
ton as to what would be done in the
future. however, that the purchase may
lead to new dam on the south chan
mel of the river and other improve
ments which according to estimates
will cast something like 100000. On
the other hand it is rumored that the
water power will be taken by the state
1t is more than probable that pulp
company's manufacturing plant now
employing about 40 hands. will be
closed at the expiration of the two
wears contract. The Price of power at
the end of the Spinning Company's con-
tract which is three years will prob
ablv settle whether that establishment
will remain in Skowhegan or remove to
another location.

SAYS WE BECOME
CRANKS ON HOT
WATER DRINKING
Hopes every man and
woman adopts this
splendid morning
habit.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, Respondent. wor-
ried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice the drink
ing of phosphated hot water before
breakfast, what a gratifying change
would take place. Instead Of thousands
of half-sick. anaemic- choking souls with
pasty. muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy. rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does
not rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our present
mode of living. For every ounce of
food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material must
be carried out, else it ferments and
forms ptomaine like poisons in the
bowels which are absorbed into the
blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation Of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or we'll, are advised to drink each
morning before breakfast, glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful Of
limestone phosphate in it, as a HARM
less means of washing out of the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the in
digestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary ca
nal before putting more food into the
stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation. bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will not cost much at the drug
store, but is sufficient to demonstrate
to anyone. its cleansing, sweetening
and freshenin3 effect upon the sys-
