LEGAL ADVISORY BOARD
MEMBERS NOT SERIOUS

Local boards are just beginning to
receive the first Questionaires back
from the reGistrants and the com
plants received at this Office Indicate
that associate members of Legal Ad-
NISory Boards are not taking the work
seriously enough" declared Brigadier
General George Mel. prcsson, the
provost marshal. Thursday.
In many eases" continued Con.
fresson, there has been an ohvious
attempt to guide the reGistrant in de-
Gliding which class he should claim. the
various question series have not been
completely filed up and vital sigma
lures have been omitted
The result of such methods is not
only to increase the work of the local
exemption boards. but it is highly in
convenient and expensive for the
reglstrant. The Qucstionaire cannot
again leave the office of the local
board, except to go To a district board
or to the President on an appeal The
registrant must go to the office of the
local board and make his own correc-
tons in the presence of the board and
must make the trip at his own ex-
pense
This very serious hardship Is un-
called for and can be avoided wholly
if the men are acting as legal aids
study the QUESTIONABLE carefully, fill
it mp exactly in accordance with the
instructions of the QUESTIONABLE it
self and when in doubt, examine the
Regulations"

FREIGHT RATE INCREASE
INFORMATION AVAILABLE

Hon. Benjamin F. Cleaves of Biddeford.
the chairman of the Maine Public Utilities
Commission, stated Thursday that the
commission desires that all shippers shall
understand that any information in its
possession in relating to the hearing at
Boston last week before the Interstate
Commerce Commission as to proposed in
creases in freight rates will he gladly fur
nished on request.
THE petition before the commission
contemplates the increase in the passen-
ger fares in New England to two and
three-quarter cents per mile where they
have been lower than this figure. and an
increase in mileage book rates to two and
one-half cents a mile" said Chairman
Cleaves.
These rates already obtain in the
state Of Maine under recent increases
effective since Nov. I. The feeling seems
to he very general that such an advance
in other parts of New England is abso-
lutely justified in view of the fact that
passenger fares have not heretofore
borne their fair share of existing costs
and surely do not at present bear their
fair snare Of advanced costs 1t is felt
that if an increase in freight rates is nee
essary in order to afford necessary in
creased revenue. the passenger business
should bear some portion of this neces-
sary increase.
The railroads also are asking authority
to make an advance in class fares both
locally and Jointly between the carriers
IN New England territory for business
conducted in New England as we'll as
business moving from New England to
points farther west and from such west
ern points into New England That which
interests the people in Maine is not so
much the fact that an advance is contea-
plated as the manner in which that adj
vance or Increase is to be brought about.
AS proposed by the carriers these adj

How to Make Hair Grow Strong, 'niek
and Lustrous on Thin Spots.
Few of us get bald in day and
we all have ample warning when our
hair is thinning out.
Partisan sage is a most efficient hair
grower, but to Immediately stop any
further loss Of hair and quickly start
a new growth it must be rubbed into
the scalp so the starved hair roots can
really absorb it and get the vital slim
ulation so badly needed. You will
surely be delighted with the first ap-
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent better.
Partisan sage is not expensive. It's
a scientific preparation that supplies
all hair needs-a clean, sticky,
antiseptic liquid that is guaranteed to
give you perfect satisfaction or money
refunded.
Good looking hair is half the battle
in any mans or woman's personal APP
pearance. Neglect means dull, thin,
lfeless hair and finally badness while
a little attention now insures thick
and lustrous hair for years to come.
