STIR ME, LORD.

Stir me, oh stir me, Lord care
not how!
But stir my heart in passion for the
world.
Stir me to give, to go-but most, to
pray:
Stir till the blood-red banner be un-
furled
Der lands that still in deepest dark
ness lie;
Der deserts where no cross is lifted
high.
Stir me, oh stir me, Lord! Thy heart
was stirred
By loves intensest fire, till Thou didst
give
Thine only Son, Thy best beloved
One,
Even to the dreadful cross, that I
might live.
Stir me to give myself so back to
Thee,
That Thou canst give Thyself again
through me! Selected.

HISTORIC PREBLE HOUSE
PORTLAND TO CONTINUE

Portland, Mt., Nov 24.-An doubt
in regard to the future of the Preble
house was settled yesterday when 1t
was learned authoritatively that this
historic and popular hotel is to con-
tinue in business under the manage
mcnt Of Frank NJ. Gray. Extensive
Improvements and alterations will be
made in the building so as to bring
the hotel strictly up to date in every
respect. although the fun extent of
these changes has not yet been made
public.
Mr.. Gray has long been deservcdly
popular with the local and travelling
public, and much regret was express
cd ut the recent reports that he had
been considering hotel propositions in
Havana and Florida. SO that the in
formation that he is to to continue
in charge of the Preble house, which
is 10 be made bigger and better, will
be received with much pleasure. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Gray have been active
socially in addition to their connec-
ton with the hotel. and their many
personal friends will also be pleased

Better Milk for
Portland Coming

Portland Nov. 24-Thc new SANTA
ton regulations announced by the
New England City and Town Milk
council will result in giving better
milk to Portland, says DR.. Thomas
Tetreau, local health officer. DR..
Tetreau told Press Herald reporter
yesterday afternoon that these uni
form regulations Wiu enable local
health officers and boards of health
to insist with more effect upon rules
as to the quality of milk and cream
handled in the various towns and
cities.
The inspection rules which are now
carried out locally, will extend to
the sources of supply as we'll as to
the dairies and creamerics. Hereto
fore, when it has been insisted by
enc locality that more stringent reg
ulations should apply, the producers
who have not been willing to abide
by the rules shipped to localities
where the restrictions were less
stringent. If there is to he no out
let for unsanitary milk there will be
a tendency on the part of all pro-
ducers, Dr. Tetreau believes, to live
up to the regulations imposed by
local officials.

PORTLA CHAMBER
FAVORS REPEAL PENNA.
COAL TAX OF 3 PER CENT.

Portland, Nov. 24-The board of
managers of the Chamber of Com
merce went on record yesterday as
favoring a repeal OF the law in Penn
sylvania which imposes tax of three
per cent on every ton of anthracite
coal mined in the state, no matter
what it's destination may be, and
makes the ultimate receivers of the
coal responsible for the payment of
this tax
The excuse for this tax has always
been that it is needed TO help pay
the expenses of the state constabu
larry of Pennsylvania. a part of whose
duties are to protect the mines and
see that things move along with
regularity and that coal is mined and
sent forward al of the time. The
theiry is that where much of this coal
goes outside the state the people who
receive it ought 10 be willing to help
pay the bill of the men who protect
the mines There has been for some
time a movement on in New Eng
land organizations to make a con-
Certed attempt to determine the con-
stitutonality of this tax when i'm
posed on intra state commerce. The
board Of manag gers adopted virtually
the same set of resolutions that other
bodies have adopted. calling upon
the attorneys general OF the sir New
England states to join in proceed
ings looking to a determination of
this matter
