POPE APPEALS FOR
 CONCLUSION OF WAR
Said to Have Suggested Names Of
 Peace Commissioners

Washington, May 17-Neutral dip lomats here have received word from Europe that Pope Benedict has ap- preached neutral nations with a view to having them make peace overtures to the belligerent powers. This in formation goes as far as to say that it has been suggested that some of the peace commissioners should be Leon Bourgeois for France, Lord Hardinge for Great Britain, and Prince Von Buelow for Germany.
 Washington, May 17-President Wilson plans to discuss with Secre- tary Lansing within the next few days the message from Pope Benedict de- livered at the White House recently, by Mgr Bonzano, the apostolic dele- gate, relating to the continuance of friendly relations between Germany and the United States and indirectly bearing on the possibility of bringing about general peace in Europe. AS soon as he has conferred with Secretary Lansing the president Will send reply to the Pope.
 Copies of a speech on peace dellV- cred by President Poincare and an interview on the same subject given to newspapers by Sir Edward Grey have been laid before the president. Officials said that while there were no definite developments toward pace the president was following the ques- ton very carefully.

NEWFOUNDLANDaIS
 TO PROTECTfSEALS
Wholesale Slaughter Will Be Stopped and 25,OOO Pelts Will Be
 Ships Limit.

St. Johns N. F., May l7-As a direct result of one of the most suc- cessful seal hunting seasons on rec ord the Newfoundland legislature has enacted restrictions designed to prevent the extermination of the animals in the waters about the islands Under the new law large steel steamers such as have been used extensively during the} last few years are prohibited from engaging in sealing.
 Most of these vessels were sold to the Russian admiralty last year for use as ice-breakers, but one, the Flor ize1, participated in this seasons hunt. The Florizel took 46,000 belts, the largest number ever secured by a single ship and yielding a profit Of $13O,0O0.
 The new restrictions will make it impossible to use a vessel capable oF carrying more than 25.000 belts.
 The total catch for this season wa. 245,00O seals, valued at s650,00O.

WIVES AND MOTHERS

Have you ever stopped to realize how much the health of your family depends upon you? For instance, diet is a great factor in health and you are responsible for it, then again when any mem Der of your family gets into 8 run down condition, when the children are delicate, cross and ailing, when somebody takes cold and develops a cough, they look to you for help. Do you know that our local druggists, The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, and Riker-H -Hegeman, Druggists, New Britain, Conn.,, have a non-secret con- stitutional remedy known as Vinol which they guarantee for just such conditions. Many families in thls vicinity have found it so reliable they are never without it.

and $4,000 pounds sold to the Portland
Linseed Oil company.
The Board of Control has been of
fered $40 o ton for hacked fiber
This price is much above the aver
age, on account of the war in Europe.
In Ontario, Canada, farmers are quite
willing to grow flax at price Of
$3.50 ton for first quality dried
straw. The state of Oregon, in order
ito encourage farmers to grow flax
guarantees to pay $l5 a ton at the
ipenitentiary, and to furnish labor free
for the pulling of the flax
Cost Here and in East
In tine east, So per acre is paid for
pulling flax or SO ton on the basis
of two tons to the acre. On the basis
of receiving $3.50 a ton, after deduct
ing SO for pulling, the eastern farmers
net $3.50 a ton, compared to the $l5
a ton offered by the state.
One ton of flax straw costing the
state SIS, produces as follows, after
going through the machinery in the
Ipenitentiary plant;
bushels of seed at SO a bushel
100 pounds of tow fiber worth Is
cents a pound.
100 pounds of line fiber worth 30
cents a pound.
Thus with its labor costing nothing,
the state will realize $55 from each
ton of flax straw. Deducting the cost
of the straw, Sl5, the net profit is
$40 ton, figuring on the present high
prices of flax products, which will
continue high for several years, as
Russia and Belgium have issued ord
ers forbidding the expectation of any
raw flax materials.
The present plant in the pen will
be able to handle about 1000 tons of
flax year and when the inmates be-
come more efficient in handling the
machinery, it win require from 1900
to 1000 acres of flax to keep the plant
busy.
Some General information
As TO the character Of soil, the com.
Imitttee recommends any good grain
soil, but especially good loan with a
clay subsoil
Eighty to ninety pounds of fiber
flax seed should be sown to the acre.

as the frosts are over, and so to 90
days are required for the straw to ma
tnre, bringing harvesting time about
July l. The state has been selling seed
to the farmers for $3.50 a busnel, or
about two and three quarter sents a
pound.
The general opinion Of experts is
that flax should be pulled and that it
