Chapter POS, Section 4, declare that any
building place or tenement that is used
for the illegal sale Of intoxicating
liquor is a common nuisance" When
the legislature of New Hampshire
made that declaration any sale of
liquor for beverage use was illegal
sale" The experience of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont during four years
Of trial has established the fact that
the illegal" sale of liquor for beverage
use is, in fact, more of nuisance than
the 'illegal sale" Civil government
has no right, moral or constitutional, to
legaliZe nuisance.
The time is ripe for the people of
Vermont and New Hampshire to rise
in their moral strength and demand the
repeal of an Ubiquitous law which gives
legal standing and protection to that
which is, per Sc, a nuisance of the rank
est kind, and which in its operation is
responsible for more misery and crime
than all other causes combined. The
thoughtful people of Maine who open
their eyes to the events Transporting in
the neighboring States of Vermont and
New Hampshire cannot intelligently
and morally sanction demand which
looks to the possibility of repeating in
the 'Pine Tree State" the experiences
of the Green Mountain" and ''The
Old Granite" States.

Literary News and Notes.

Mrs. Kate Douglass Wiggin sailed
from England last week to spend the
summer at her country home in Hollis,
Her latest book, "New Chronicles of
Rebecca," was one of the two best sell

ing to the May reports.
The splendid picture in colors of an
American boy triumphantly riding the
the July American Boy is inspiring. In
reading matter also, the magazine will
are additional chapters of the fine seri-
ais by Tomlinson, Sprague, and Ellis.
Of the larger stories and articles are
''bound boys dream, in which he has
President Roosevelt's address on the

as well.
The August number of the Woman's
Home Companion is primarily an all
story number-except, of course, for
the twelve indispensable departments
that appear in each ISSUE The second
instalment of Anthony Hopes new love
story ''Helena's Path" appears in this
number, and all the other fiction comes
up to the excellent standard of Mr..
Hopes novel. Among the contributors
are Anne Hamilton Donnell, author of
"Rebecca Mary" May Isabel Fisk, in
one of her inimitable monologues, IONA
Gale, Clinton Dangerfield, Mary VIII
helmina Hastings and Jeanette Coop

the vacation problem, and DR.. Edward
Everett Hale, Margaret E. Sangster,
Anna Steese Richardson and the Editor
all give some admirable vacation sug-
gestions. The number is elaborate pic

FEIDspAR DEPOSITS OF MAINE.

The commercially important field
spar deposits of Maine all belong to
single type of rocks known to geolo-
gists as pegmatites. These are coarse
grained rocks which as rule have the
composition of granite, their principal
constituents being feldspar, quartz and
mica, other minerals occurring in them
in subordinate amounts.
Practically all the feldspar mined in
Maine is used in pottery manufacture,
its main application being as a con-
stituent in both body and glaze in true
porcelain. white ware, and vitrified
sanitary ware, and of the slip under
glaze) and glaze in SO called porcelain"
sanitary ware and enameled brick.
Small amounts of very pure spar, care
fully hand-picked, are occasionally
shipped for use in the manufacture Of
artificial teeth. Much interest has
recently been aroused in the use of
potash feldspar for fertilizing purposes.
Experiments by the Agricultural De-
partment have shown that certain
plants are capable of readily decompos-
ing feldspar that has been ground to
the fineness now usually demanded in
the pottery industry 600 mesh and
finer) and experiments are now being
made by that department to determine
what plants are benefited by the use
of feldspar.
In the course of cooperative investi-
cations between the Maine State Sur
vey Commission and the United Geo.
logical Survey, E. S. Basin of the
National Survey devoted some time to
a study of the Maine pegmatites, and
his report on the geographic distribu-
ton, geologic occurrence, origin, char
acters, uses, methods of mining and
manufacture, and commercial availa-
bility of the feldspar is published by
the survey as part of its annual eco
nomic bulletin, No. 315. The principal
quarries in Sagadahoc, Androscoggin
and Oxford counties are also briefly
described. Numerous other quarries
in Maine which have in the past pro-
duced feldspar and quartz were visited,
and these will be described in the final
report on the pegmatitic rocks, new
material for which will be collected by
Mr.. Basin in the course of his field
work this summer. Meantime the pa
per in Bulletin 315 is available for dis
tribution and can be obtained by apply
ing to the Director of the Survey at
Washington, D. C.

AM IMPORTANT BUSINESS STATE.
MENT.

W. L. Douglass, the Famous shoemanufac-
turer on Newspaper Advertising.
Ex-Governor William L. Douglas, the
famous shoemaker, tells very clearly
why he uses only newspaper advertis.
ing to sell his shoes. He has tried and
tested all kinds, magazines, circulars,
actually painted whole town red,"
spreading his advertisements over its
roofs, barns and fences. His experience
proved to him that newspaper columns
gave him the biggest return by far for
every dollar paid out. AS he observes,
a newspaper advertisement strikes the
eye the moment the sheet is opened,
and will catch the eye of the busiest
man or the most needless reader. Then,
too, practically every man and woman
reads a newspaper, and There is no ham
let on this continent that is not reached
by them. The newspaper also, alone
as ures the persistent daily repetition
with effective variations which Mr..
Douglas has found indispensable in
building up his great business.
There is we'll hammered sense in his
conclusion as the shrewdest advertisers
taday will bear witness. And he has
reached another conclusion by practi-
cal demonstration, which is more novel
but not less sure. When a season is
dull, he increases his advertising That
is leading factor, he judges, in his
success. Instead of hanging back and
waiting for a slack season to pass, he
prods up the buyers. There is no great
luck in the success of such man. He
has hammered out his fortune from the
start. And there is no more profitable
business study for young man enter
ing business than the ways in which
self-made men of sterling integrity
have honestly earned success.-Water-
vile Sentinel.

Strea m Flow Regulated by Forests.

The continued regularity of the flow
of stream depends absolutely upon the
preservation of the forest covering of
the mountain slopes upon which it has
its source. A forest floor is covered
with thick deposit of leaves, branches,
and decaying vegetable matter, and u.s.
ually a heavy growth of ferns and plant
life which act as sponge to catch and
hold the rainfall, and allow it to run off
gradually; the forest covering shields
and protects it from the direct rays of
the sun and the force of the wind, and
thus evaporation is reduced to a mini
mum. With the forest removed, the
falling rains soon wash away the cover
ing of vegetable matter, as well as the
soil which underlies it, and nothing
now checks the torrents in their down
ward rush to the sea; streams and riv-
ers are quickly filled to overlooking,
only to subside to extreme low water
after the floods have ceased.
