Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

MEXICO CITY, April 8.-The gov ernment is determined, according to extra editions of the local newspapers tonight, to take vigorous measures to relieve the desperate economic situa- ton and will fix prices at which the necessities of life may be sold. For the purpose of the government ne- cessities will be classified as food stuffs, medicines, drugs, fuel, shoes, ready made clothing and any other articls not classified as luxuries.
 Penalties are to be inflicted for vio- lation, and will consist of a fine not to exceed $1,000, imprisonment for thirty days, the closure of the busi- ness ana public sale of the stock. Non compliance on the part of a for eign merchant will result in the ap- plication of article B of the federal constitution, which lays the offender open to expulsion from the country as a pernicious foreigner.
 Active work of the adjustment of MeXico's finances will begin Monday when Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, will arrive here to organize a new monetary commission and to prepare the way for a new issue of paper money. The exchange value of the present issue of paper money fluctuated little during the day, hold ing steady at IA cents gold for paper pesos with few buyers

War Losses.

Perhaps the summary of European
war losses. prepared by the Amer;c.,
Review of Reviews and published be-
low is as reliable as any that could be
completed at this time. The Germans
do not issue any statement of their to-
tai losses, but they do post lists bear
ing the names Of the killed, wounded.
ana missing. These lists are tabula ted
in neutral and belligerent countries and
thus we get from time to time from
Amsterdam, from Berne, and from
London the figures Of German losses:
these figures are obtained by adding
the totals of the past lists and those
Of the new lists.
Yet in Great Britain and in Ameri-
ca the announcement in the House was
misunderstood and many comments
have been made on the supposition that
the figures cited in Parliament were
the British estimates, not the German
admissions, and these figures have been
used to confound the observers. who
like myself. have estimated the German
losses to be much greater than their
lists disclosed. Such estimates NAV be

may be correct, but the announcement
made in the House has no bearing.
because it was a mere statement of the
figures which came from German lists.
But these figures have a particular
value. At the end of November the
Germans had lost in killed according
to their lists, deaths from sickness in
cluded, something over 100000; in pris-
oners, missing included, a little less
than 100000; in wounded, a little under
100000 Their total loss was, then,
under 100000.
The British losses for about the
same period were officially announced
in parliament to be 530,O00,-12O,00O
killed. 10000 captured, 100000 wounded.
Compare the two and it will be seen
that the percentage Of killed to wound
ed is about the samoa little higher

Railroad Earnings.

Despite the great prosperity" OF
which the administr ton boasts so
loudly and which has been brought
about by the European war, the rail-
roads of the country are unable to
snow Astounding satisfaction with their
earnings for the year 1915. They did,
indeed. have a better business than
thew had in 1914, but their average
earnings amounted tc only 300 per
cent, which was less than those of 1912
the last year in which the railroads
had anything like FORMAL business
That year, it will be remembered, was
the last year Of Republican admins
tration.
To show the difference between rail-
road earnings under Democratic times
and under Republican times there are
some interesting comparisons to be
drawn from the figures in which the
above result for 1915 is derived. In
1915 the net operating income OF
american railroads increased almost
~ nor cent as compared with 1914, but
on,v a little over nine per cent as
compared with the last Republican
YEAR. It further appears that the rail-
roads profiting most by this increase
.uch as it is-were those which ira
verge territory wherein war babies
are most abundant ard most insistent
ror +r.rsportation. Under the former
regime. when Republican policies were
in force, railroad earnings were not
cnly more generously but more gener-
ely distributed.

Morrisville, VT, March 2, 1916.

Have you ever noticed that some
of these men like Mr.. Hanson can
never see any violation of law under
license, or any trespass upon moral
desire, or even single disagreeable
incident where the liquor interests are
regulating" their own traffic. But
there are not only continuous and awe
some violations but the entire populace
becomes overwhelmed with a desire to
indulge in orgies and crime.
That is why the liquor interests so
hate prohibitory law-because so much
more booze is sold and consumed wher-
ever it is tried. These great moral fac
tors, the stockholders in distilleries and
brewing plants and saloon property,
and the Edgar F. Hansons, shed tears
of blood because Of the wickedness I'M
der prohibition. They care not for the
extra profits which the increased sales
under prohibition bring them, but they
wish to see the horrors of prohibition
done away with. and they are spend
ing many millions every year in en-
deavor to substitute regulation FOR
it-regulation by the honest bar
tenders they hire; regulation by the
ward heelers and political schemers of
the cities with whom they are in leag-
ue; regulation by the white slave ca
diets and the gambling dens; regulation
by the houses of designation and the
dancing hells; regulation by the thugs
and buns and boozers.
These hiehly moral agencies. the
liquor interests. that hire and send ont

writer's and speakers to denounce and
besmirch the record and reputation Of

uplifting the young, rescuing the mid
die aged and prolonging the lives and
usefulness of the old.

Those hopeful persons who are look
ing for an early adjournment of Con-
gress should forget it, Only one ap-
preparation bill has been thus far
rassed-and the revenue legislation
has not yet been thought of in any
serious manner. Secretary McAdoo is
now off on a junketing trip to South
America and will not be back in WASH
ington until about the middle of May.
Congress will not take up the discus
sion of revenue bills until after that
and it is evident that the most vigor
Gus contests Of the session will turn
upon the question Of taxation. II
nothing is done on the tax bills until
the middle of May. how long will it
take to dispose Of them. under the
ordinary conditions which prevail in
Congress? If the session can be
brought to an end by October. it will
surprise many experienced observers.

Dyestuffs and National Defense

A dyestuff factory can be very
readily transformed into factory for
the production of explosives. DR..
Thomas H. Norton of the Department
Of Commerce, is authority for the
statement that the transformation can
be accomplished on 4S hours notice.
Heretofore we have been dependent
upon Germany for dyestuffs. The vast
extent of her dystuffs industry was
one factor in enabling her to carry on
the war when cut off from commune
cation with other countries by sea.
With all these facts before them
Democrats are delaying legislation for
the building up of the dyestuffs indus

AGAINST Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are q good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
Of sediment channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience-sucha as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
wAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DIR. Pierce that
"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
meits sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties. for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure;
"Anuric" is a regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for "Anuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

Letter to the Governor Of Maine.

The recent campaign in Vermont in
opposition to local option resulted in
the retention Of that law by a vote of
31,s67 to 1861. The size Of the ma
jority surprised both sides.

campaign against prohibition and his
illusions to the working of the pro-
hibitory law in Maine called out
number Of letters and among them the
following, addressed to the Governor of
Maine
Dear Governor:-It would be to the in
terest Of your State to call home your
ex-Mayor Hanson Of Belfast. even If you
are obliged to put him on the retired list
tainly a shame and disgrace to any
State to have man like Mr.. Hanson go
out and belittle it as he is doing. II con-
ditions are half as bad as he publicly de-
cent people to live in. The way Mr.. Han
son pictures it out gives US to under
stand the State in rum-soaked from one
end to the other, and that the greater
part are drunkards and will drink any
thing they can get hold Of He has given
us the formula how his so-called boot
leg" whiskey is made and claims it is sold
quite extensively.
Now we Vermont people have always
understood that Maine is a beautiful
State, good people and high morals: ana
while we do not expect that every per-
son in Maine is strictly law-abiding we
did suppose that they would average up
with other states.
Mr.. Hanson took great pains to exhibit.
photos of saloons in Maine and told us
how much it cost to equip them: in fact
no one could draw a worse picture Of
your State than he is publicly exhibiting
at this time all over Vermont
Now as this letter is written in n
friendly and brotherly spirit, we would
be pleased to hear from you, stating what
your opinion Is.
Respectfully yours,
