MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It Pays to be Kind.
portland AdvertiSer.)


The thawing-out process which ush-
ers in the spring means bad hauling IN
city streets and on country roads. and
unless drivers are thoughtful and KIND
to the dumb animals under their care 1t
means hard times for the faithful ser
wants of man. 1t is vastly better TO
Tighten the burdens of the Woodworking
horses by making loads lighter and by
|considerate and sympathetic treatme'-t
than TO infiict pain and suffering which
may result in permanent injNry. The
man who appreciates Il good horse Will
not ask him to bear greater burdens
even in an emergency. than is good fo:'
him to bear. 1t always pays to BE-
thoughtful and kind and nowhere are
these saving qualities more profitably
bestowed than upon the dumb beasts of
burden who do SO large part of
the everyday work of the world silently
and uncomplainingly.
The Apple Cure for Bad Habits.
Bangor News)
If you are suddenly seized with de-
sire to quarrel with some one or to in
dulge in profanity. eat an apple. If
there is Il craving for a smoke or for
alcoholic stimulation, substitute an ap-
pie and while eating lit do Il little quiet
rejecting.
This is the advice of John T. Stenson.
director of pomology at the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis. That Director STEM
| son is a believer in the efficacy of APP
pies as a cure for bad habits is evil
denced by his determination to distrib-
ute 100000 apples on apple day dur
| ing the exposition. If this distribution
results in an elevation of the moral
tone of st. Louis or decreases the con-
sumption of mint julep Professor STEM
son will be able, after such a test, to
claim that the apple cure" is success.
Indeed there is apt to be a great de-
mand for this fruit about the time the
next Missouri legislature meets.
| The food value of the apple and its
benign effect upon temperament and
disposition have been known and rec
ognized ever since hOrticulturists be-
gan developing it from the wild crab
apple tree of the forest. The cata-
logues of the average nurSeryman list
| over four hundred varieties of apples.
but no one will suspect Professor STEM
son of trying TO boast Il particular Mis-
souri, apple as having marked medicinal
qualities. The reason the apple tends
to mollify the asperities of life and 20
smooth out the rough places in mans
disposition is because of its very apprt-
ciIble effect upon the liver. AS a sub
Stitute for mud and mineral baths AMI
IAN sorts Of bottled aperients it proba-
bly, has no equal.
| AS a substitute for the highballS and
the gin ricky, however, the apple will
be regarded in Missouri with suspicion.
A few drinks of apple juice drawn from
n barrel that has lain in the cellar for
some time have been known to produce
direful results. When the barrel has
been frozen and the juice is drawn from
the cente" the consequences are disas-
trous But everybody will watch tho

new REGISTRATION NOT REQUIRED

When the Fourth precinct of the
Fifth ward was divided, one of the
questions that arose was whether or
not voters in the new precinct would
have to register before the next cleo
ton, when they. were registered in
the Fourth precinct before the divi-
sion was made. Some of the city Of
fcials held that new registration
was necessary, and others contended
that the law did not require 1t.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Bates
was appealed to. and his opininon
is that a new registration is not re-
duired.
In brief, the law says that il a
voter moves out of the ward or pre-
cinct during the year for which he
is registered he shall notify the Off
Ger of registration of the fact and
have the removal noted in the poll
books when they are opened, and he
shall be registered in the precinct to
which he has removed
Attorney Bates holds that none of
