Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-07-09

The best time to try food fads is
not in hot weather.
In summer, a whole wheat, prop
erly prepared, should form at least
one meal day.
Wheat produces the maximum of
nourishment and the minimum OF
heat. 1t should largely take the
place of meat.
Fad foods cannot do that. These,
of all times, are the days for the
practical.
You cannot cook wheat as we
cook it. Nobody can.
We steam-cook it for six hours,
then cure it for days.

Subscription Laws.

Many readers have, from time
to time, requested information
concerning newspaper subscrip-
tion laws. Seven have been COM
piled from decisions of the United
States court and embody points
that bother many newspaper pub
fishers The seven are:
/ Subscribers who do not give
express notices to the contrary
are considering as wishing to re-
new their subscription.
, If the subscribers order the
discontinuance of their periodicals
the publishers may continue to
send them all until all arrearages
are paid.
,. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postoffice to which they are di-
rected, they are responsible until
they have settled their bills and
ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and the papers are sent to
their former address. they are held
responsible.
D. The courts have decided
that refusing to take periodicals
from the postoffice or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is a
prima facia evidence of intention
al fraud.
s. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do not
wish to continue taking it, other
wise the publisher is authorized to
send it and the subscriber is re-
sponsible until an express notice,
with payment of arrearages is sent
to the publisher.
l. The latest postal laws are
such that newspaper publishers
can arrest anyone for fraud that
takes newspaper and refuses to
pay for it. Under the law man
who allows his subscription to run
along for some time unpaid and
then orders the postmaster to mark
it refused and have post card
sent notifying the publishers, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine the
same as a common thief.

loss.
