SENATOR FERNALD
FOR PROHIBITION

Washington, June 15.-Asked as to
his attitude toward national prohibit
tion as a war measure, Senator Fernald
Of Maine said There is but one an
swer I can make. I have told all who
have written me that I heartily favor
it and that I shall vote for any meas
ure of that kind which comes before the
Senate. l have supported all prohibit
ory measures before the Senate since
becoming a member and cannot. at
this time see any good reason why
should alter my attitude"
Senator Fernald has not introduced
all the resolutions and letters endors-
ing National prohibition as war
measure which he has received from
Maine, but this does not change the
fact that they have reached him by the
hundreds. Some idea of their number
is to be had from the fact that for two
days in May one stenographer in his
office did nothing but write acknowl-
edgments of these In addition to this
there has not been a day since the first
of NAY when the Senator's mail has
not included from one'to % of such let
ters and resolutions.
The senator's reason for not present
ing all these in the Senate has been
that it would unnecessarily load up the
Record and thereby greatly add to the
cost Of an already expensive publica-
ton and would accomnlish no good On
this point he says: These resolutions
letters and teleerams would influence
no members of Congress outside OF
Maine Those members will be gov
erned by what the people Of their
states desire and not what my constitu-
ents wish. 1t is unnecessary to pub
lish them in the Congressional Record,
for I have personally acknowledged
each one. Each letter of reply has
contained that which the Record would
not-my position on the question:
which, after all, is what counts. AS
there are less than 500 copies Of the
Record going TO Maine. it is evident
that but very few of the thousands rep
resented by these petitions would ever
see the Record. Nothing would be
gained by doing it, beyond piling mp
expense"

Fort Fairfield, Me, June 1.-THE
weather here Wednesday was ideal. 1t
was one Of the first real summerlike
days that has reached Aroostook this
season. In view of the fact that the
past week has been a most stormy and
rainy one, the sudden change in the
weather caused much joy among the
farmers. Farmers set about to ascer-
tain the damage done to the potato and
grain fields by the storms of the past
week. This is estimated as consider
able Some farmers believe that, al
though the acreage of potatoes in
Aroostook this year will be larger than
ever. the yield will not be nearly so
large as in some recent years, due to
the fact Of the unfavorabIe spring
weather which has prevailed in Aroos-
took for the past few weeks.

GLAD TO PRAISE
THE NEW REMEDY
A. Prominent Washington
Matron Gives Glowing Tes-
timonial for Plant Juice.

In an interview. yesterday. The Plant
Juice Man. who has his headquarters at
The Peoples Drug Store. corner Of It'll
and E>Sts. N. W., where he is introduce
Plant Juice. said:
IF people would only realize that 90
per cent OF all the ills which the hu-
man flesh is heir to. are directly trace
able to that much abused organ, the
stomach, and when the digestive organs
which Nature has assigned them. then
nutrition. which Is absolutely essential
to the recovery OF other diseased parts,
will be lacking. and there can be no
permanent relief. 1t usually begins from
weakness, from lack OF vital activity
in the secretory glands OF the stomach !;
from a want Of sufficient gastric Juice !;
hence a remedy that will arouse these
parts and infuse them with vitality. will
remove the cause, and the dreadful
symptoms, which denote stomach, liver,
and kidney trouble will vanish.
Plant Juice stimulates the secretory
glands, attacks and destroys all poisons
in the blood. 'corrects diseased conditions
restores them to normal condition. This
contention Is verified daily by scores Of
local people in signed testimonials.
One Of the most recent Is that Of
prominent Washington lady. who con-
scented to allow her name to appear in
print on account of the great benefit de-
rived from Plant Juice. She said:
For many years / have suffered with
neuralgia Of the head and rheumatism
in my arms and shoulders. and l suffer-
ed such pain that / could not raise my
arms to comb my hair. This trouble was
brought on by putting my hands in cold
water. and 1t affected my spinal cord
and entire system; was SO nervous /
could not sleep at night, and got very
weak and entirely run down. / had no
appetite and nothing tasted good to me
/ had headaches, and was badly consti-
pated. had read and heard SO much
about Washington people who had been
cured by your Plant Juice that 1 finally

CALLS SUGAR CHEAP
AND YALUABLEFOOD
Mrs. McCIary Says Sucrose Is
Most DigestibIe Of All
Body Fuels.

Just suppose sucrose is split into
glucose or dextrose, OF into fructose
or levulose, and allowed to decom-
pose, what do you think IT would
compose? No, not limberger; merely
sugar-pure and unadulterated cane
sugar.
And sugar. says Mrs. McClary, who
has been trying to persuade the
President to lead the simple life on
two-bits q day, Is one OF Americas
cheapest and most necessary foods.
For" says Mrs. McCIary, without
even suffering, "sucrose Is really
the most digestlble OF all foods, ex-
cept maltese, glucose, or fructose,
since II merely requires to be split
into glucose and fruetose in the IN
testines before being absorbed"
That being the case, why Is It not
possible for US poor mortals who are
trying to get q strangle hold on the
high cost OF living, to avail ourselves
freely of this simple and cheap
'food?" was asked of Mrs. McClary.
Excessive Use Harmful.
And Mrs. McClary, who claims to
know nothing about fooos, but to be
merely press agent, came right
back:
Because to depend upon sugar
would tend to exclude other much
needed substances from our diet ard
cause disturbances of digestion"
Mrs. McClark went on to tell or the
dangers and advantages OF eating
sugar. She said that a person tend
ing to obesity or even to q normal
gain In weight as the years advance,
should eat-sparingly of sugar, because
Of its fuel value and ready absorba-
bility.
Lightweight undernourished in
dividuais may find sugar a valuable
source OF heat and energy II well d.
luted and used as an addition to q
diet fully sufficient In other respects.
Such people particularly should avoid
taking candy, sodas and such indulg
ences between meals. since they tend
to clog the appetite for other foods,
and, as already explained, the sugar
alone, notwithstanding its high en-
dietetic requirements.
5000 Galleries For Laborer.
Mrs. McClary evidently considers
that President Wilson is about one
sixth more active than the average
business man. The menus submitted
to the President for his cheap eating
experiment contained 1000 calories,
while the average daily consumption
by Mr.. Business Man should be only
2 500 calories. Mrs. McClary says that
the woodsawysr or heavy manual la
borer should eat at least 5000 calor-
les OF food per day.
Amy one who wastes food in these
days commits q crime against So
ciety," said Mrs. McClary. at would
