MILK GOING UP.

Higher Price IL Necessary. !


Sentiment at mass meetings OF milk
producers all over New England, say
officials Of the New England Milk
Producers association. was unanimous
that there was imperative cessity Of
an immediate increase in the price Of milk
at the farms. =
1t will be impossible. under the present
high cost of grain. the scarcity of labor
and general war time conditions. to In
duce farmers to continue their dairy
herds unless they receive seven or eight
cents per quart for milk, delivered at
railroad stations. The price of milk will
probably be increased to the consumers
correspondingly. I.
The producers believe the cost Of
producing milk will increase greatly dur
ing the next six months According to re-
ports from Washington, the allies are In
desperate need of more of our food sup
plies from this country. and the railroadH
may he granted an increase In freight
rates. In the latter case the New England
farmers get hit both ways; first, by the
additional cost OF feed for herds; and.
second, because Of the higher rate to ret
the product to market. If Is per cent.
increase in freight rates is granted the
railroads, it will cost the farmer about
one-half cent on every quart Of milk

LECTURES ON LIBEL.
Judge e. G. Mower Also Discusses Pro.
posed Censorship Law.


posed Censorship Law.
Judge f. c. Mower gave students in
the University Of Vermont course in
journalism the cream Of the law Of
libel. especially as it exists in Vermont,
in lecture last night at the williams
Science hall, and also discussed in a
general way the censorship clause of
the espionage act now before Congress.
This is the second attempt to curtail
the liberty Of the press. he said. The
first was the alien and sedition act. or
at least the sedttion part Of the act.
The present censorship clause is prob
ably constitutional. he asserted, but
only as war measure. Judge Mower
referred to De Toouevil1e's "Democ-
racy in America" in a chapter Of which
the noted Frenchman debated the mer-
its and merits Of the freedom of the
press. Villifcation was inexcusable, in
the lecturers opinion. whether a paper
made itself liable to an action for it or
not. One remedy against the yellow
journal, he said. was the development
of sense of responsibility in journal
lists by means of courses and schools
of journalism.
Judge Mower told his hearers of the
fact that truth is defense in both
civil and criminal libel in Vermont.
and also explained the meaning Of fair
comment, privileged communications,
etc.

PURITY GIVES POWER.

There arc still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purer the blood is the
greater Is the power of the system to
remove disease and the less the liability
to contract 1t. Persons whose blood Is
in good condition are much less likely to
take cold or to be long troubled with it,
or to catch any contagious or infectious
disease. than arc those whose blood Is
impure and therefore impoverished and
lacking In vitality. The hes. medicine for
purifying the blood is Hoods sarsaparilla
and persons suffering from any blood
disease or any want of tone In the sys-
tenn are urged to give this medicine a
trial. 1t is especially useful at this time
of year ta6v.)
