sion thinks the plan to use the fish as
fertilizer would not be feasible and,
Furthermore, if palatable ways can be
found to utilize the fish as food, would
be wasteful. Again, if people of the in
terror States, where the prejudice against
the dogfish does not exist, would use it as
food, the prospect of reducing the prev
alence of the little sharks as pest
would be materially greater. If legisla-
ton worth while is ultimately enacted,
considerable benefit should accrue to
Maine fishermen.
AS one of the successful States in the
production of fine horses Maine will be
interested in the efforts before Con-
gress to improve the standard of horses
throughout the country. Senator Pitt
man Of Nevada, the one State Of the
union in which wild horses are still found,
has introduced bill as an amendment to
the Agricultural bill to provide an APP
preparation of $500, 600 for the extension
of the so-called army remount system.
Officers of the War Department, who
are interested in an adequate supply of
good horses in war time, have had CEN
sus of horses in the United States taken.
Two leading bankers in every county of
the United States, including the several
counties of Maine, were asked to furnish
| the Department with list of horses in
their communities suitable for military
purposes. 1t is claimed the figures were
quite surprising. For while there are
said to be q, 000,0 900 horses in the United
States, there are less than 225, 900 of
! these that would do for the army. That
would be sufficient in peace times, but
not If the country were forced into war.
This is said to represent woeful decline
of the animal that, more than all others,
is the friend of man. 1t is charged that
that the Indifference of the breeders of
horses has been very marked throughout
many States. but not in Maine, SO that
the average horse, particularly in the
West, is not as efficient an animal as
was the case ten years ago.
The Western States are breeding plenty
of heavy draft horses according to Sena-
tor Pittman, but the breeders there have
not gi ven attention to type of horse fit
for other work than heavy hauling. 1t is
desired that the scrub stock of this coun-
try, millions and millions in number, be
replaced through the use of selected
stations and sound mares without ex-
pense to the owners of such mares. The
government now owns IS selected stall
lions, which have been distributed in
several States and it is the purpose to
vote appropriations for an additional
number.

Our journey through Canada next day

Our journey through Canada next day
was uncomfortable in the extreme, as
the train was hot and dirty, and the
dust, sitting through every crack and
crevice, was almost too painfully remi-
niscent of the Great Mojave Desert.
Our last change came at Montreal, and
we hailed the sleeper for Portland as if
it were an old friend from home. So
impatient were we for the first glimpse
of New England that Will was actually
guilty of awaking me from peaceful
slumber about 2 a. m. as we passed
through Gorham, N. H., for sight of
good old Mt. Washington-insign
perhaps, in comparison with the more
impressive heights we had recently left,
but dear and familiar sight, and
grand one to our prejudiced vision. The
peaceful New England scenes through
which we passed next morning seemed
no less dear to US, and when we reached
Portland at an early hour next morning,
and found friends waiting on the station
platform to give US a hearty welcome
home, we were quite ready to declare
that, grand and wonderful as were the
sights we had seen. and greatly as we
had enjoyed our three months trip, and
as gladly as we would go again should
opportunity offer-for beauty and charm
and comfort, there is, after all, 'no
place like home.'

TIRED LOOKING WOMEN

Some women always wear worn,
tired look. 1t is the outward sign of
nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps,
with its characteristic symptoms of
worry, headaches and sleeplessness.
Overwork, grief, undue excitement,
the late hours and nervous strain of
strenuous social season, lack of out-of-
door exercise, any or all OF these may
be responsible for the trouble but the
most common cause at this season of
the year is the grip.
Whatever the cause, if you feel the
need of more strength try the great
non-alcoholic tonic, DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. AS the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment
must be directed toward building up the
blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills act
directly on the blood and with proper
regulation of the diet have proved of
the greatest benefit in many cases of
neurasthepia. A tendency to anemia,
or bloodlessness, shown by most neu-
rasthenic patients, is also corrected by
these tonic pills. Your own druggist
sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills or they
will be sent by mail on receipt OF price,
SO cents per box; six boxes $3.50.

legis alton. Some of the postal employees
in Maine object to the enactment of the
provision which, it is claimed, would
cause considerable hardship. Senator
Burleigh will seek to have it modified.
Many of the rural carriers in Maine are
also writing him about an amendment
that Senator Hardwick of Georgia has
proposed, regarding the reorganization
of rural routes. In many of these cases
the reappointment Of rural carriers is
involved. The Hardwick amendment
would make it obligatory upon the De-
partment to reappoint' the veteran carri-
ers
1t begins to look as though Congress
would afford some relief to Maine fisher
men from the dogfsh pest. For several
years Maine officials and others have been
urging Congress to inaugurate an invcs-
tigation of these little sharks and now a
good start has been made toward this
legislation. The Senate has passed bill
appropriating S25, 600 for use by the
United States Fish Commission in inyes-
tlgating the best means of exterminat-
ing the dogfsh. Representative Kinds.
who had "a similar bill in the last Con-
gress, has now had the Senate bill favor
ably reported from the House Committee
on merchant marine and fisheries, of
which he is a member. The bill is now
on the House calendar. There is no i'm
mediate prospect of its being reached,
because of the great crush of business,
including number Of very important
measures that the administration is try
ing to get through, But there may be a
chance in the very last days of the
session, while the House is waiting for
the Senate to act upon the President's
legislative programme. In any event it
is quite probable the bill will be passed
before the expiration of the present
Congress.
As is pretty we'll understood now in
Maine, the United States Fish Commits
sion will start investigator rather with
view to introducing dogfsh as an article
of human food than to utilize it for fer
tilizer, which is the idea that many Maine
people had originally and which was the
idea adopted IN certain of the Canadian
maritime provinces. The Fish Commits

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 8, 1916.
Maine people seem to have lot of
interest these days at the National Capt.
tol. They are writing here about null
titude of matters. This is evident in the
correspondence that comes to Senator
Burleigh almost daily. He finds that
hardly ever before in the course of his
long service at Washington have Maine
people been asking about so many matters
of Legislation. They also have many
questions to ask about administrative
affairs in the Departments that affect
conditions in Maine.
Consequently, although Senator Bur-
leigh is Of the minority party in Con-
gress just now, he has had one of the
busiest winters of many years. There
are several items of postal legislation
chat federal employees of the postal SER
vice in the Pine Tree State are concerned
about. One is provision to require the
railroad companies, carrying government
mails, to deliver them into and take them
from the terminal and intermediate post
offices between railroad stations on their
routes without additional compensation.
The Postmaster General has desired
additional authority IN these cases, be-
cause of complications that sometimes
arise over allowing mail pouches to pass
into the hands Of parties not responsible
for their safe keeping.
Senator Burleigh has been comforting
with his colleagues on the Postoffice
Committee regarding this matter of

At a meeting of the amusement
committee of the Carnival Picnic as

the celebration at Palmetto Beach on
July 4. One days program was
mapped out, and amusements were

celebration will be the elaborate dis

Arrangements are now being made
for barge to be anchored a short
distance from the shore, where the
display will be held. This plan, it is
pointed out, will afford an opportunity
for an aquatic display, of flying fish,
diving devils, submarine torpedoes,
and many other novel designs which
would be impossible on land.
The day program Will include as it's
main feature ladies' baseball game,
teams to be recruited in advance and
