THE PROHIBITION FARCE IN
 MAINE

& How prohibition works in Maine, is Che subject of many an interesting story. The latest relates to Andro- aroggin county. It appears that this county has been receiving s25,000 to $3o.o00 year from liquor fines which operated practically as license fees. Now. the courts have adopted the pol icy of sending convicted liquor dealers to jail, instead of imposing fines. The xegult is that the county has become Financially embarrassed and is asking for permission to borrow $50,o00 with which to build an addition to it's jail which is overcrowded by reason of the jaif sentences above mentioned.
 Thus, we find that there has been in progress in Androscoggin county, and presumably throughout the State, a plan of securing needed revenue from the liquor traffic, not by the or derly procedure of exacting a license fee. but by the irregular plan of in- viting violations of the law in order to impose fines. With this plan, the courts in one county have interfered, una the result is financial embarrass- mont for the county.
 For some years. there has been a OA the question of prohibition to the peo- E pIe Of Maine, and there is little doubt that there would be an adverse major stty upon such a vote, but the Republi- can party has steadily blocked the way and refused to allow a. test before $ the people. For some reason, the courts lof one county have put quietus upon prearranged violations of the prohibit tory law. and if the courts in the oth- er counties should adopt a similar pol icy, the Republican position would probably change speedily. Practically the liquor traffic has been under Re publican protection, through system or fines operating as license fees. The Androscoggin county courts have sknocked out'' this scheme by substi- fufing jail sentences for fines.
 It is evidently within the power of the Maine courts to cause resubmis- sion of the question of prohibition to hhe people. The most effective meth cd of>securing the repeal of an obnox- ious law is to enforce it with all pos sible severity.
 What a farce prohibition is, as view sd by its operation in Maine.

Rev. J. M. Farr, a prominent Presby- terian clergyman of New York city, fa- vors the opening of saloons from 1 D. m. to II p. m. on Sundays. He says that they are open on Sundays and will so continue, and in substance that it is better to have them legally open on part of Sunday than to be surrep- titiously open all day. In addition. such permission would prevent corrup- tion of the police force by the liquor dealers. What a storm will soon gath CT over Rev. MT. Farr.

Quiet and Gloom Crowd Out Mirth.''
 All physicians agree that mirth and joy at meal time does much toward digestion. Mirth tingles the whole nervous organism of man, the cells wherein are stored valuable digestive juices, empty their contents under the nerve stimulation and promote the highest degree of digestion.
 If gloom and discomfort prevail at table the reverse action obtains and meals become necessities, not antici- pated joys
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food retingle the mucous membrane and it's nerve centers, give to the blood a great wealth of digestive fluids, promote di- gestion and stays by the stomach un- til all it's duties are complete.
 If dyspepsia sits at tables it. makes the dining room a place of awe; these tablets should be taken after meals and dyspepsia of a consequence fees.
 No need for diet or fasting. The dys- peptics who will use them religiously will find no sense of nausea in the sight of generous meals or in the odor of rich cooking
 It matters not what the condition of the stomach Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets only improve the juices but bring quiet to the whole digestive canal, of which the stomach is the center
 Forty thousand physicians use these tablets in their practice and every druggist sells them. Price soc. Send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free Address F. A. Stuart CO, 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

MCNAMARA PURCHA:
PIKE BROS.' INTERESTS


 The Pike Bros Fairfield avenue store has been purchased by D. B. Me Namara, who will distribute the stock among his fourteen stores. MT. Mc- Namara's real object in the above pur- chase was to acquire the tea and coffee interests held by this firm and as his purchase included the Pike Bros.' good will and importers option, he has the exclusive right to handle these popu- lar goods. Pike Brcs.' teas and cof- fees and spices have for years been recognized as the real standard of quality, and have been much in favor of the conservative folks who con- stantly refused to be cajoled into us- ing an inferior product in order to re- ceive presents souvenirs, stamps, etc. The tea and coffee departments will, in the future, be a leading feat ure at all D. E. McNamara stores, and while all grades handled by the Pike Bros. will be carried, the two popular leaders will be Pike Bros.' Empress Coffee, 18c pound and Pike Bros.' Roy al Tea, soc the pound.

It thus appears that while gold in- creased, silver decreased, in produc- ton. Should this process continue long enough, the prediction of some sil- yer enthusiasts that their favorite me- tai will ventually outrank gold in intrinsic value, may be fulfilled. Money lenders have for several years been looking askance at the regular heavy increase in gold production, in fear of low interest rates as the result.

Brazil now imposes an export tax of 31z cents per pound on coffee. Under the maximum and minimum section of t1ae pending tariff bill, this coun- try would be obliged to levy retalia- tory duties on Brazilian products, in- cluding coffee. This would tend to stimulate coffee culture in Mexico and other countries which do not impose export taxes

Wall street is, according to MT Clews, taking the ''rest cure.'' Specu1a- ton is dormant, the large operators are absent, and the investment demand has much abated. But as there seems to be in progress '' a, process of hard ening'' and as bear investments are not generally successful in the spring season the present situation is, in MT Clews' opinion. lone that distinctly warrants cheerfulness.'

The Harmony
 of Home Does Not Mingle With or Emanate from the Table
 of Dyspepsia

In the home, meal time should awaken in all the inhabitants a pecu- liar harmony of joy which will make for the home the abiding place of in terest and happiness.
 If one member at the dinner table is out of sorts, his influence is felt and the harmony is lacking. Conversation and mirth are absent. Devouring thoughts assail the diners and silence prevails.

NEW YORK. June 11.-Delegates are already arriving In New York to attend the annual convention of the Federation of American Zionists. which will hold its sessions in this city during the next four or live days. Several things combine to give prom ise of the most important as well as the largest convention ever held by the organization.
 Among the important questions to be considered is the movement seek ing the restoration of Palestine to the Jewish people. In view of the re cent changes in the Turkish empire and of the friendly attitude which the young Turks have evinced towards the aspirations of the Zionists, the convention will be of unusual inter est. The invitation which has been formally extended by the Turkish parliament to the oppressed Jews ot Russia to come and settle within the empire makes the present movement in Zionist activities all the more sig nificant. In connection with the pro gress of the movement 1t is expected that messases will be received by the convention from the foremost leaders of the Zionist movement in Europe
