"a man who takes alcoholic drinks

It was something Of a shock to the
great corn belt of America to have
American maize charged with being
the cause of the disease pellagara.
Therefore the corn belt will be very
grateful to DR.. sambon, the eminent

that corn has nothing to do with it.
DR.. Sambon says that careful invest
CATION leaves him no doubt that
pellagra is caused by the sand fly in
che same way that the mosquito is
responsible for malaria.

Quotations from Roosevelt.

The growth of soft luxury after it
has reached a certain point becomes
a national danger patent to all.
To be opulent and unarmed is to
secure ease in the present at the al
most certain cost of disaster in the
future.
In the last analysis the all
important factor is national great
ness is national character.
Best of all is it to do our part
well, and at the same time to see
our blood live young and vital in
men and women fit to take up the
task as we lay it down; for so shall
our seed inherit the earth.
| believe that in national life as
the ages go by we shall find that the
permanent national types will more
and more tend toward those in
which, while the intellect stands high,
character stands higher; in which
rugged strength and courage. rugged
capacity to resist wrongful agrees
sion by others, will go hand in hand
with a lofty scorn of doing wrong to
others.
The really high civilizations must
themselves supply the antidote to the
and love of each
which they tend to produce.
In dealing with all these social
problems, with the intimate relations
of the family, with wealth in private
use and business use, with labor,
with poverty. the one prime neces-
sty is to remember that, though
hardness of heart is a great evil, it
is no greater an evil than softness
of head.
The foreign policy of a great and
self-respecting country should be
conducted on exactly the same plane
of honor, of insistence upon ones
own rights and of respect for the
rights of others, as when a brave
and honorable man is dealing with
his fellows.
No implement can ever take the
place of the guiding intelligence that
Yields 1t. A very bad tool will ruin
the work of the best craftsman; but
a good tool in bad hands Is no bet
ter. In the last analysis the all i'm
portant factor in national greatness
is national character.

DAIRY EXHIBITS At OUR
STATE FAIRS
Changes In Premiums to Be Awarded
mt Naieryille and Lewiston.

Several important changes in the
been made this year by the Maine
State fair and also the Central Maine
Fair Association. The important po-
sition Maine holds among other New
England states as { producer of sweet
cream is recognized by the Offering OF
generous premiums for market milk
and sweet cream. All premiums are
to be divided pro rata among exhibits
scoring So points and over. Ar
rangements have been made to have
"A suitable room set apart for dairy
exhibits.
These premiums were secured as a
result of action taken by the Maine
Dairymen's Association al its last
annual session. when lie Executive
Committee was directed to take up
with the several state fairs the pre-
miums offered for dairy products and
the methods adopted in handling the
exhibits. Some little time ago con-
ference was held with the trustees of
these two fairs by the executive com
mittee, with the above results 1t
was also arranged to have repre-
sentative of the Dairy Division OF the
Department of Agriculture and the
Maine Dairymen's Association III
charge of the dairy exhibits. This
representative will be present during
the entire fair for the purpose OF car
rying on demonstrations and answer
ing questions concerning the eXhi-
bits. Every effort will be made to
make the work educational in all its
features.
1t is for the interest of the dairy
men of the State that the plan adopt
ed by these two fairs shall be made
successful The distribution of the
premiums is to be made on pro rata
basis so that every person who ex-
nibits milk of fair market quality Will
receive some recompense sufficient in
all probability TO pay transportation
and any other charge found neces-
sary.
The scoring of all dairy products
will be done by competent judges and
the score card will be used ip every
instance 70 record their opinion. 1t
is planned to have exhibits of such
dairy apparatus as milk bottles, milk
caps. sanitary milk pals etc. The
premium lists are now ready for dis
tribution. A letter addressed 10 the
secretary Of either of the above
named fairs, or to Lean S. Merrill,
state Dairy Instructor, Augusta. will
bring entry blanks All inquiries will
be cheeriully and promptly answered.
