Poverty and Health.
Bangor News.)


In this year of an abundance of ex-
cellent eating apples all over the New
England states, and in spite of repeat
ed contradiction Of bountiful shipment
of Maine apples to England-even
now the old country adage holds all
over Europe and America:
IAN apple a day,
Keeps the doctor away"
Which was first uttered by Lord
Bacon in the days of Shakespeare, and
which has come down to the here AMI
now as truthful as 1t was in the Six
teenth Century.
Beyond those simple old remedies Of
our ancestors, such as eating raw
apples, because nobody could afford to
hire the family physician: and thus
the employment Of the root and herb
doctor" because he was somewhat
cheaper than the "calomel" physician
all in all our ancestors lived longer
and more healthful lives than their
descendants. because one was COM
PEELED to bleed himself instead OF
hiring physician to perform an
operation for phleobotomy-even the
poverty of the very poor continued
them in superb good health: and not
until the twin evils of Luxury AMI
Wealth came in were chronic diseases
known to mankind.

1t Is fast becoming evident thai
Great Britain will have to resort 10
CONSUMPTION before the million men
voted by Parliament, are obtained.
The first fever for enlistment has
passed and now recruits are said to
be coming very slow indeed. Accord
ing to a cablegram from Manchester,
England. that city with its 100000 pop
ulation has furnished but 400 recruits
in four days, from so recruiting de-
pots.
Reports from Liverpool show that
recruiting Is even slower there. A Boy
Scout band has been parading the
streets for days and holding rallies at
the base of Nelson's monument in an
effort to stir up the young men, but
large crowds of men of military age
have stood in silence listening to the
music of the wearied youngsters with
out offering themselves to the re-
cruiting officers.
Football games draw large crowds.
Theaters are filled with men of mill
tary age. But apparently they are
not moved by Lord Kitchener's call
for more men.
The Manchester News in discussing
the situation says:
The shadow of CONSUMPTION with all
its inherent evils and its serious indus
trial handicap, looms over the country.
The ever widening war 10 likely to be
prolonged. Should this be the case,
all the men that the army advisers
have asked for will be needed. They
are not being obtained, however.
When Manchester can send only 100 a
day to reinforce our army it becomes
obvious that something will have to
be done to set better pace

ineffective because the headquar
! tiers of booze is so far away.
If Maine enjoyed this satisfactory
local option law and only 100 OF tue
towns and cities voted "wet"--or even
ten--each one of these would become
distributing point for booze. That
is why prohibition is ineffective" for
the rum trust and all those who de-
rive income from the business.
The Cambridge Standard lets in tbs
light on the local option farce. Edt-
torially ii says:
The investigation conducted by H.
y. Pringle for the Committee af
Fifteen emphasizes the recognized
fact that the laws of the Common
wealth regarding the sale of liquor
are f1agrantly violated in Cambridge.
The astounding statement is made
that the law is violated 1000 times
every day.
According to the report these vio-
lations are about equally divided be-
tween INSCRIPTIONS druggists and the
group of over 100 pony expresses"
which haul vast quantities of liquor
across the bridges from Boston.
"Ileesi sales by druggists is a
problem common to all cities in Mas
sachusetts. AS Mr.. Pringle's report
well expresses it sixth class IL
censes under the Massachusetts law.
permit druggists, without much dan
ger to themselves. to supply drinkers
Except Sunday with all the liquors
which they care to buy. The for
mality of a signature absolves the
seller from all liability. Thus com
mon nuisances may exist in dry
towns, without practical or easy
means of abatement. to the detriment
of the community and the disrepute
of all honorable members of the drug
gist's profession who are subject to
the unjust suspicious engendered ey
their lawless competitors.
THE illegal sale of liquor by drug
gists will continue to be a vexing
problem as long as sixth class licenses
are issued.
Coming to the question of pony
expresses 1t is clear that the situa-
ton has been greatly aggravated BY
the large number of these permits is
sued by the Board of Aldermen. The
excessive number and the character
of many of those to whom this priv
lege has been granted have lead to
inevitable abuse"
And the Boston Post. attacking Sec
rotary Bryan, says: Regulation of
the traffic must be a local affair"
As Mr.. Bryan's paper says, national
prohibition is on the way and will
soon be realized, in spite of those
who derive great revenue for adver-
Using and promoting the booze traf-
fic.

Fair Warning Of Hard Winter Ahead
boston Globe)

If the dope" of the weather ''proph-
ets'' of Berks county in Pennsylvania
is right, we are going to have some"
winter. That season, which begins on
the 22d Of next month, will be lengthy.
or severe, or both, for the following
reasons:
The leaves Of trees did not turn red
early this year; heavy crop Of per-
simmons; long bristles on hogs and
shaggy hair on other animals; walnuts
with thick hulis; corn husks very
loose; breastbone from goose, under
observation, almost black; and impos-
sible for several days before the pres
ent cold spell to dig up ground worms
and toads which had gone down deep
in the soil.
One prognosticator ventures the as
sertion that there will be lots of snow
and ice because the weeds have been
plentiful and tall.
Apparently 1t behooyes US New Eng
landers to bank our houses immediv
ately and lay In an extra supply Of
flannels, coal, kindling wood. side

tSeattle OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
At best different verdict at the
polls would have meant only a post
ponement For the movement which
this year enlists Washington. Oregon
and Colorado soon will enlist the
country as a whole. States not yet
ripe for it are rapidly or slowly get
ting ripe. Even the casual observer
of the trend Of thought must see that
it is a nation wide movement.
Washington could with wisdom
have waited yet awhile and continued
it's adherence to local option and home
rule.
But it is all over and there Ia no
profit in specializing upon what
should have been or might have been
done. The thing dreaded as tending
seriously to effect material conditions
has now actually happened and is be-
yond recall. Washington soon will
become a dry state and is destined to
remain a dry state. That 1t Will
have the company Of all the states in
the Union in a few short years is as
sure as anything Of the future can be
foretold.
While the stringent law does not
even aim to prohibit drinking, but
strangely provides easy means of OBJ
tanning liquor from the outside, II
does contemplate the absolute sup
preston of the saloon. By the peo-
pies verdict the days OF that institu-
ton are definitely and finally num-
bered. 1t will go not to return. All
this involves a radical economic read
justment. There Is naught to do but
to meet the situation cheerfully and
make the necessary readjustment in 81
business-like way.
