Discrsditina a "Dry" City

Drunkenness has increased in Newton
since general PONY express licenses
were refused. according to Arthur w.
Blakemore, president of the Board of
Aldermen. The aldermanic committee
on franchises and licenses is now con-
Quoting an investigation and will report
to the board not later than Dec. Z.
Though, in accordance with the Supreme
Court ruling. the city granted one IL
cense to the American Express Com
pany, the conditions attendant on the
transportation of liquor under the new
system are too exacting to suit many
citizens and they go over the line to
Brighton or Natick, get intoxicated and
carry home a bundle of bottled goods.
Mr. Blakemore declares that drunken
ness has increased, according to the po-
lice records. 1t Is also said that small
children transport packages Of liquor
from the freight yards at Newtonville to
Momentum in baby carriages and small
carts-News Report.

we have always charged against the

that it is flooded, and when that not
suffice they dc not hesitate to lie

than two-thjrds of the families of
these reservists have been found to
lack suitable support. these efforts to
alleviate the American home horrors
of the European war are hailed with
enthusiasm. Let us hope that the war

cheer for the Churches

Claiming crop of over two millions
of church goers last Sunday, the heads
of the Go-to Church movement in New
York City have now recognized a new
impetus to religious interest, that has
tagged sadly of late. Where empty
pews have faced preachers all over
town on the day that has been lately
claimed for golf and motoring. it is
hoped to bring thousands of New
Workers., who for years have preferred
to listen to the click of the club or the
beat Of the motor. With almost every
congregation in town at it's wits end
to finance its weekly worship, any
such revival in church attendance and
support will be eagerly welcomed, for
church work, like war, ami joy riding,
requires funds for maintenance.

The Grange.
Pleasant River Granse, Milo.

Pleasant River Grange of Milo met
at it's hall on High street Tuesday
evening, Worthy Steward Ira Hobbs
in the chair. Two new names were
balloted on and accepted. Reports
from the various committees present
showed approximately 5000 gross re-
ceipts from the fair, with the probab-
ility OF little less than $1404 cleared.
Only partial reports were given as all
committees were not present. The
Grange was presented with a large
portrait of the officials of the Grange
for the current year, suitably framed
and hung on the walls. Ira Hobbs
presented the gift in the name of the
officers and a rising vote of thanks
was extended in acknowledgment. The
affair was a complete surprise, but
few knowing that the pictures had
been taken and none knowing of the
intended gift save those presenting 1t.
The Circle of Pleasant Workers will
meet Tuesday, Oct. 81. when further
reports from the fair will be presented.

what would have to be known as a
barn window thief, says the Whitman
District correspondent of the Norway
Advertiser. Ralph Bacon, OH going
out to his barn one morning last week,
found that someone had walked off
with one of his barn cellar windows.
Two lights of glass were missing from
the window when taken and the
strange part of it is, what appeared
to be the same identical window with
two new lights of glass put in appear
ed in a Woodstock building shortly
after. 1t probably just happened that
way in this case, but We would advise
every one to lock up their barn Win

Z. D. Morse from black walnut. Mrs.
Nancy Jewett has also presented the
first Bible used by the church, which
since it was replaced in the pulpit has
been in possession of the Warren fam

Then Now

Today the United States has two
OF the greatest gun factories in the
world, the celebrated Krupps not
excepted. At the Washington Navy
Yard the famous 14-inch naval
gun is made, and at Watervliet,
New York, is turned out the 16-
inch seacoast defense gun whose
effective range is 8 miles and which
can throw a projectile Fl miles.
The maximum energy of this gun
Is $4,000 foot tons. This monster
is 40. feet and 80 inches long, the
projectile is feet, inches long,
with steel penetration of 42.3
inches. The cost of firing one shot
is $1,000 and weight of the rifle
without the carriage is 126 tons.
To cast this gun more than 200
cannon of the 1S-pounders used In
1776 would have to be melted down.
Washington did not have enough
cannon in his whole army at any
one time to make one of these big
guns. All the leading powers of
Europe have bigger guns, but none
of them, not even the 42-centi-
meter Krupp siege guns. surpass
this gun in energy. Our naval and
seacoast defense guns represent
today the high-water mark in
cannon making and they are re-
markable illustrations of how far
inventive genius has progressed in
gun-making from the days of the
American Revolution and that, too,
in the face Of the fact that 80 years
ago the big gun in this country
was not greatly superior to what
1t was in the days of Yorktown.

One hundred and thirty-eight
years ago today the United States
established its first arsenal or gun
factory at Springfield, Mass, when
cannon as well as muskets were
made for the Continental army.
Soon after it established another
factory at Harper's Ferry. In 774
the British Government prohibited
the expectation of arms to the
American colonies. but this act did
not dishearten the restless colo
nists who numbered among them
selves hundreds of expert gum
smiths and cannon borers. In
nearly all the colonies cannon were
being bored by private individuals
and when the war broke out there
was a remarkable assortment of
brass and iron guns of the smooth
bore muzzle-loading type. The best
of these was an 1S-pounder which
could throw round shot from one
to two miles. These guns were
from five to eight feet in length
and 1t was with such ordnance that
Washington had equipped the forts
around New York. Some of these
guns had been captured from the
British and others were made by
the colonists-but the loss of these
guns and the evacuation of New
York forced upon the Congress at
Philadelphia the necessity of es-
tablishing a government cannon
factory at once. This cannon fac
tory was one of the first institu-
tions established by the Continental
Congress and some Of the very best
artillery of that day was made by
the inventive genius Of Americans.

Let the South Diversity,

The United States public health SER
vice sends out a bulletin that will
prove of unquestioned value in some
sections Of the country but of little
direct interest in New England aside
from its connection with another mat
ter. That is, it appears that pellagra
Is but another example of a class of
diseases like scurvy, which can be
prevented and cured by an abundance
or food OF proper character; and
this fact suggests the stability of
farmers in the South cultivating beans
and peas and raising dairy cattle, in
stead Of cotton at time when the
market for the latter is demoralized
by foreign war conditions, instead of
asking the government to buy what
they cannot sell at price they have
fixed. What If Maine raised all DO
tatoes and nothing else and placed
the price at 81 a bushel and then de-
manded that the government maintain
that price for Names benefit? Well.
Maine would "go broke"
But to return to the subject: If YOU
would avoid having pellagra, you must
eat an abundance of beans, peas, milk,
eggs, and lean meat as part of your
regular diet. At least, that is the
conclusion of officers of the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service who have made a
special study of the disease AS a re-
suit Of these studies, they believe that
pellagra is not communicable from
person TO person as is measles, for ex-
ample. but that it is dependent on
some as yet undetermined fault in
diet in which animal proteid (milk,
eggs. and lean meat or leguminous
proteids deans and peas) is dispro-
portionately small. and that nc
pellagra will develop in those who
consume a mixed ell-balanced and
varied diet.

fresh milk, eggs, fresh lean meat
