The above letter Is only one Of many
commendatory messages concerning
our suggestions for an embargo on
grains going into intoxicants. This
writer's suggestion Of the churches

Suppose every church society in
Maine and every organization in HIS
service in this State and every other
state, send petitions bearing the names
Of every member and friend. urging the
government to stop, at once, the food
grains now being converted into beer
and whiskey. Ir three months the ex-
ecutive offices and Congress could be
showed under by the written demands
Of millions Of home-loving Americans.
The country Is facing a food short
age. Every department OF the govern
mont Is appealing to the people to raise
moro food. In every mail Of the Ken
nebec Journal come bundles Of circu-
lars. pamphlets and typewriter sheets,
urging farmers to increase their plant
ings and sowirgs, villagers to secure
every vacant field roundabout, and
city folk to cultivate lawns and back
yards. The National Emergency Food
Garden Commission" is most active.
So are the seedsmen. the fertilizer COM
panies and the hardware dealers
There is much merit in the city gar
dens plan, but practical observers know
that more will be expended for tools,
fertilizer and seed than will be realized
from nine-tenths Of the garden at
tempts.
In other words, the JOB of providing
food for the nation and Of sending food
to our allies is UP to- the FARMERS
Of this country.

Rupert Hughes would be Major
Hughes today. were it not for his de-
fective hearing. He was turned down
three times in his examinations for
this post. He regrets exceedingly

fighting ranks of his country, but Is
not wasting his time on regrets. He
is doing his bit wherever it is pos

out of the state, he does not wear his

Mr.. Hughes is looking the picture
of health and the Iikenesses of him
which are appearing in, the various

He is still the same cordial, pleasant
man to meet, that he ever was, and
is not one bit spoiled by all the hon

Women Steady Workers.

It used to be said that women
could not be depended upon like men
to work steadily, and, consequently,
ought not to expect SO much pay as
men employed at similar work.
While 1t would be foolish for any
young woman to stay at work when
physically unfit, it is believed that
most women now continue at their
work as constantly as men. Any
woman who is unable to do so, should
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, the old, reliable medicine
for woman. and get the aid she
needs to enable her to keep at work.
