New York society has felt the ef-
fects of affairs in Europe. Hardly a
we'll known family but is touched in
the matter of relatives and connec-
ton by the fighting abroad. Intense
gaiety is not to be thought Of. but the
prosperity of the country, the well
being of it's people of all sorts. is re-
fected in the amount of entertain
ments that is taking place. New York
society is benefited by this condition,
for in times past it has shown dis
position to explode, and a SOLDERING
hand was essential Lavish displays
of mere wealth is no longer tolerated.
Too much is needed to aid the inno-
cent sufferers of the war to permit OF
it. In fact, the relief feature Of So
cicty is now it's most prominent part.
The simple fact remains that although
one may not hear so much of New
York society through sensational re-
port, it is enjoying or spending, or en-.
during, whichever way one may care
to put it, the busiest season that it
ever had.

Speaking Of "Authority."

SpVaNus9 W SNSSs~s'eJ'
The activities Of the Federal Reserve
Board are causing some comment these
days, especially among those who re-
call that the chief complaint and criti-
cism Of the currency plan worked out
by tho Aldrich commission was that
It provided for too much Capitalization
Of financial authority and power.
Tho law as finally passed was shorn
Of some Of this, but 1t is evident that
the reserve board holds that 1t possess
es sufficient powers Of admonition, at
least. to admit Of its taking a large
share in directing the general opera
tons Of tho banks which compose the
federal reserve system.
The British government planned to
make use of its treasury bills in this
country to finance some of its military
purchases, and American bankers con-
templated accepting these obligations.
backed as they are by large gold re-
serves held for the purpose in Canada,
in the same manner as II they were
regulation bills Of exchange drawn to
cover ordinary commercial transac-
tons.
The reserve board frowned upon this
plan and issued a circular warning
member banks from tying up their
liquid funds in such securities. The
board held that the funds of the mem
Der banks should be kept in fluid state
for the benefit of American. enterprise
and that they should not be absorbed
in foreign treasury bills.
The obvious retort of the member
banks who contemplated such action
was that the operations of the federal
reserve bank system in the large finan-
cial centers have not yet been Of sucn
character as to demonstrate their ire
mendous value to enterprising Amer
leans, and that the system-outside of
the South-has caused very few bor-
rowers to procure accommodation at
any other place or at any lower rate of
interest than they did before the law
went into effect. In addition. many
banks, especially in the smaller COM
munities, have seen no inconsiderable
percentage of their assets tied up in
their investment in the stock of the
regional reserve banks, from which
they have received practically no ben
eft. They probably thought, in addi-
ton. that the opinions of the reserve
board have no binding authority.
On the face of it, trading In the
treasury bills of the British govern
ment looked to be safe and renumer-
ative. But the British government
promptly ended the discussion and the
agitation by withdrawing the bills
from the market; though the propriety
of the reserve boards action and the
manner in which it's warning was is
sued still remain the subject of COM
ment.

Every Sunday

in thousands of households, people
overeat, and their stomachs and livers
suffer for it the next day, and even
the day following. Ordinarily a good,

is rest-day, and the stomach doesn't
get the help of the usual exercise,
and sometimes it is given too much
to do. In such cases, IL. F." At

Uric Acid Poisoning!

The most eminent physicians recog-
MIA that URIC acid stored up in the
system IL the cause or rheumatism.
that this uric acid poison is present In
the Joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the Invalid
ids Hotel and Surgical Institute IN
Buffalo. N. Y. DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out theuric
acid from the system, and In this way
the pain, swelling and Inflammation
subside. II you are a sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the pains
and ills brought about by uric acid.
Swollen hands. ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition. often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous uric acid, which settles
in the tissues Of the feet, ankles, wrists
or back as uratic salts; or under the
eyes in baglike formations.
It is just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep the
bowels active to rid the body Of pois-
ons.
The very best possible way to take
care Of yourself is to take a glass Of hot
water before meals and an Anuric tab
let. In this way 1t is readily dissolved
with the food. picked up by the blood
and finally reaches the kidneys, where
it has cleansing and tonic effect.
Step into the drug store and ask for
50-cent package Of Anuric. or send DR..
Pierce 10c. for trial pckg. Anuric-many
times more potent than lithia, elimin-
ates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.
A short trial will convince You.--Adv.

Communication

To the Editor of the Kennebec Jour-
nal,
Augusta, Maine
Dear Sir:-As one who travels over
the North Belfast road quite often, 1
wish to express through the columns
Of YOUR paper to Com. Allen and the
highway department Of the city Of Au-
gusta, my appreciation of the work
done on this thoroughfare the past
season, and to the condition they put
it into, in so short time.
Owing to the latneses of the season
in commencing work, the department
was unable to accomplish all they in
tended doing and this will have to go
over to another year. If attended to
early next year, and a patrol kept on
the road, the people who have occa-
sion to travel this road will be able so
to do with much comfort and safety.
1t certainly is pleasing to the mer-
chants that this road leading from the
east is at last being put into good con-
dition.
Yours truly,
JOHN r. GOULD.

Bohemia RECOGNIZED.

New York's Bohemia is apparently
having new lease of life. and if has
attained the distinction of pulpit criti-
cism. One of the clergymen whose
church is on Washington Square.
"nere the American equivalent of the
Latin quarter exists, has declared that
he is anxious to establish friendly re-
lations with those about him, as he
does not believe that the real Bohemia
is half bad. Incidental circumstances
have proven responsible for re-
newal OF interests in the old neighbour
hoods that surround WASHINGTON
Square, and where, in a very real
sense, Bohemia exists. Artists and
literary persons dwell in the vicinity
from choice, and they are being ca
tered to. and their grouping together
encouraged, by real estate owners,
restauranteurs and others.
Practically whole new block Of
low. white stucco buildings are under
way to accommodate the demands for
studios; there are several clubs Gre
ated, and theatre is being built in
Greenwich Village. which is adjacent
to Washington Square. This revival
of interests is resulting in the making
of real artistic colony in New York.
and is not a spasmodic movement, but
is destined to last. Washington Square
and Greenwich Village have tradition
and atmosphere and the physical
qualifications for such a settlement,
and they are likely to be again what
the most interesting neighborhood in
the city.

Editorial Comment
FL Dorado Aroostook.
(BoSton Herald)

(Boston Herald)
What tales of plethoric aff1uence
are coming down from the banks of
the Aroostook these days! Every
mail and every breeze brings them
such tales of unprecedented agricul-
tural prosperity as no other part Of
the country can tell, unless it be
the most golden section of the gol-
den grain belt. Aroostook has had
big potato crops and high prices be-
fore--they have made it known as
the richest agricultural county in
like this one. Houlton, the shire
town and trade outlet, with about
1000 population and 1000 telephones,
unblushingly puts forth the claim
that it is the richest town on the
map, except our own Brookline where
not few Aroostook people find it
pleasant to spend their winters.
A Houlton statistician figures that
1ully 100000 daily is coming into
the county from potato sales, and has
been for weeks. The hundred thou
sand acres planted to potatoes in the
county have yielded some 10000, 900
barrels, and with potatoes selling
at the local stations at 81 and even
more barrel, you can figure 1t out for
yourself. You hear of farmers who
are cleaning up from $4,000 to $780,
on the crop, of one who has just re-
fused $4,000 for his $4,000 barrels. of
two sisters who cleaned up $4,000 on
their brothers farm which they took
over for the season, of one farmer
who has paid off $4,000 mortgage
from his profits. of farms that are be-
ing sold for 100000 and Of many 9TH
ers that could not be bought for $780,
900.
Big figures for New England farm
ers to be dealing in? No writer Of
romance ever dreamed more golden
dream than Aroostook is enjoying.
1t will be very fortunate If it does
not regret next year that 1t was so
prosperous this year. Its earlier good
years have been followed by such
speculation and such foolish buying
that it ought to have learned the
lesson, but probably it has not. OF
course it is just now a paradise for
agents with anything to sell. The
smaller towns already average an
to every five persons
and you can use an automobile in
Aroostook less than half the year.
Aroostook people are very human.
Easy come, easy 60. But just now
1 dynamic evangel of thrift could
10 it a great service.
