The governor was a speaker.
The political differences between the
two Maine leaders of the Republican
party cropped forth but or~ce at the
dinner, when Ralph A. SturgeS, the
POSTMASTER, in introducing the gov
ernor mentioned he had been invited
to speak Immediately after the Sep
tember election"
The governor, in opening his ad-
dress, commented on this remark, as
follows:
your toastmaster was careful to
specify the invitation was extended
after the September election. There
has been another one since then of
which we have heard considerable"
The political hostility between the
governor and Senator Gould developed
during the recent Maine special cleo
ton when the governor supported
charges that Senator Gould had eX-
ceeded the primary campaign eX-
penditure allowed by law.

were killed by mob at Aiken, 8. c.,
October 8, with one negro victim at
Dover, Tenn, the same night. and
three victims in Texas on Novem-

How TO Cure the Bad Habits of EarLy Childhood

In some cases incontinence Of
urine may be due TO laziness and
indifference Of the Child. In these
instances 1t is suggested that the
menace Of q painful operation
may result in cure.
Abnormal acidity Of the urine IL
another cause Of the trouble. Acid
urine tends to irritate the bladder.
In diminishing the acidity OF the
urine, we may cure some cases.
Precocious development and ex.
treme activity OF mental faculties
producing disturbed sleep seem to
favor the occurrence of inconti-
hence.
On the other hand. it is some.
times associated with a morbid de-
f iency of intelligence.
Finally, as stated by DR.. p.
Bay. the congenital narrowing of
the urethra Is a very common
cause of incontinence. This cause
may be overlooked, and conse.
quently all efforts to cure the dis
turbance remain unsuccess VI.
Th arefore. in case of incontinence
the urethra should always be ex-
anined, and in case Of narrowing

Incontinence Of urine. when per.
