PROMOTES PROSPERITY.

Constant reiteration of the false
statements Of liquor advocates has un-
doubtedly led some persons to the
conclusion that Maine is suffering and
has been impoverished because of its
prohibition policy. A careful and
truth-seeking investigation will show
the exact opposite to be the case.
A bulletin by the United States CEN
sus bureau reviewing the 30 years pre-
ceding 1912, shows the steady advance
ment of Maine in financial independ-
ence. In 1880 Names per capita
debt was $S.49, as contrasted with an
average of IL states Of $5.4S. In 1912
it has been reduced IS per cent, and
the average Of the other states only SO
per cent. Maine now owes $1.67 per
capita, while the other states average
1882. Massachusetts, with her high
license system, which the liquor advo-
Gates say is the best license law in
the world, has per capita indebted
ness over 13 times larger than the pro-
hibition state of Maine. The general
comfort of the people of Maine is
manifested by the large percentage Of
homes owned free from debt. In 1910
the total number Of homes owned was,
according to the census report, 1O9,-
29s, and rs per cent Of these were free
from mortgage.

GOOD OF PROHIBITION,

"The plea that prohibition fails to
prohibit would be quite valid If it could
be shown that any license system sue
ceeds better in regulating the liquor
traffic. Police administrations fall
down in the attempt to restrict Illicit
selling of liquors in any community
where the traffic is licensed. Prohi-
bition does throw the business into
thoroughfares of the saloons and re7
moves from the sight of the young,
who are taught that the business is
outlawed and disreputable. The
drunkards for which it is incidentally
responsible die off rapidly, for they
are tempted to drink the worst and
most powerful concoctions. Prohibi-
ton may kill the poor miserable tip
piers, but it tends to preserve the mid
die classes.-New York Times.

Temperance

aUTTERLY FALSE.

In search Of the facts concerning
the claim of the brewers that 'beer Is
liquid bread" the Christian Advocate,
leading periodical Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, wrote to the director
of the laboratory Of the Connecticut
board of health. asking for a scientific
statement. The unabbreviated reply
was as follows:
editor the Christian Advocate: In
reply to your note will say that It is
hard to conceive a more misleading
statement than to call beer liquid
bread The facts are that the grains
ont Of which beer Is made do contain
. deal of nOurishment, adapted both
for fuel and tissue building. In the
process Of beer-making the materials
are mostly destroyed and removed BY
the process of clarifying. As . result
the final product has lost practically
all the tfssue-buildfng material 1t ever
contained, and most Of its fuel food
has been converted into alcohol, which
has less fuel value, to say nothing Of

mentation and eiarification; for these
processes have destroyed nearly all
the value it originally possessed. The
final product has no tissue-building
value, only little fuel value, and in
addition has poisoning action upon
the nervous system. Bread has large
value as a tissue builder and also as
fuel, and in addition has no bad ef-
feet upon the nervous system. To
call beer liquid bread is therefore ut
terly false and badly misleading.

at the mouth of a small stream, the
surrounding forest growing down close
to the shore, and SO thick as to be
almost impenetrable. The men had

and the fire about which the others
yards distant.
Wrapped in my blankets I saw
D'Artigny emerge from the darkness
and approach Cassion. who drew a
map from his belt pocket and spread
it open on the ground in the glare Of
the fire. The two men bent over 1t,
tracing the lines with finger tips. evil
dently determining their course for
the morrow. Then D'Artigny made a
few notes on n scrap of paper, arose
to his feet and disappeared.
They had scarcely exchanged q
word, and the feeling Of enmity be-
tween them was apparent. Casslon
sat quiet, the map still open, and
stared after the younger man until he
vanished In the darkness. The look
upon his face was not q pleasant one.
Impelled by a sudden impulse I
arose to my feet, the blanket still
draped about my shoulders, and
crossed the open space to the fire.
Cassion, hearing the sound Of my ap-
proach, glanced around, his frown
changing instantly into a smile.

said, adopting q tone Of pleasantly.

On the beach all was in readiness

enough that Moulin had already spread

took their places in the canoes and

that is going to rack and ruin for lack
of the cooperation American business

the sack of Christian churches and the
violation of devoted sisters of charity.
1t is not to restore respect and honor to

JUDGE WEEKS AS DESCRIBED BY
THE LATE JACK HARRIS.

1t is not supposable that omnipotence
ever made mistake, but if the Eternal
Architect ever had such momentary
lapse it was when he designed John f.
Weeks and located large and energetic
soul in perhaps too frail body, His
immense voltage is frequently case
of a powerful motor racking too light a
frame, but the latter has thus far fairly
well withstood the strain. He was born
in the thriving and substantial town Of
Salisbury, June IA, 1854, located in
Middlebury in 1896, and is now and
always has has been large and sue
cessful farmer. His school education
was finished at Mddlebury High school,
and since then he has been taking a
continuous course in the great school of
life and with results which have been
splendidy indicated in his public
career. This latter includes service in
the House in 1888 and in the Senate in
1896, in the House again in 1912 and in
his representation of his town again
this year, when he was elevated to the
position of speaker. From 1892 to 1894
he was also associate Judge of his county
court and was State cattle commits
sioner in 1906. 1t is no disparagement
of his excellent services in the above
capacities, however, to say that his
larger and more pleasing title to the
consideration and regard of the State
has come from his services on the
States penal boards. In 1898 he was
appointed to membership in the board

JUDGE WEEKS CANDIDACY.

The announcement that Judge Weeks
will be a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor is very gratifying to his
neighbors and friends in Addison County,
where he has spent all his life and where
he is honored and trusted as is the
privilege of few men. His popularity
was shown in the fattering majorities by
which he wss twice elected representa-
tive, His ability was proved by his con-
duct in the Speakers chair. Many
great men of Vermont have occupied
that chair, but none have left it with
greater honor or more general and
hearty good will than Judge Weeks.
Modest, unselfsh and unassuming, yet
forceful and resoute when need be,
anticipating shrewdly every situation
and averting trouble before it comes
Judge Weeks is almost an ideal man to
preside over a Vermont deliberative
assembly. He is more than fair to
those who differ with him and is always
patient until the right course is clear.
Addison County will support him with
enthusiasm and it would not be strange
if his fitness for the place were so
generally recognized that his nomina-
ton will be early assured.

How to Make Delicious Fruit Cocktails
For Company Spreads.

a delicious first course for the spring
luncheon or midday Sunday dinner Is
fruit cocktail, served ice cold In dainty
glasses. Use the fruits of the season
oranges, bananas, apples. white grapes
and perhaps little chopped pineap-
pie. Skin the grapes, pare the apples
and cut the oranges In very thin slices
through pulp and rind. Then chop all
the fruit in small pieces and soak an
hour in their own juice sweetened with
sugar. Then stand on the ice until
just before serving, when the fruit
cocktail may be favored with little
Rhine wine or Claret.

If other candidates for Governor
measure up to the qualifications Of Hon.
Horace f. Graham, Vermont is sure to
have a good Governor for two years
more. Mr.. Graham's fourteen years of
able service as State Auditor have
equipped him with thorough knowledge
of the States business in all depart
ments and also given him wide ac-
quaintance with the active men of the
State. He has served faithfully and
ably in the responsible Office he has
held so long and deserves the promotion
to which many friends have encouraged
him.
