A Commune alton.

Editor kennebec Journal:
Just a word or two more on the sub
ject of Prohibition and | am done, and l
take this opportunity to thank Hon. W.
r. Pattangall for the correction he made
in a recent article of mine to the
Journal His criticism was dignified
and courteous, like the true gentleman
which he is: nevertheless. if my memory
serves me right, the Governor did make
some such statement in his campaign
speeches but not quite so strong as
made it out; you know amateur report
ers are apt to make blunders, and you
also know that campaign speeches and
promises from candidates of any party
are not to be taken too seriously-like
my declaration that when l 60 to Lewis
ton / am going to walk right into the
office of the Sun" and slap the editors
face. But let me say right here, once
for ALL the liquor question is too serious
a question to be taken lightly, for upon
the right settlement thereof depends the
prosperity and happiness of millions of
people. viii it ever be settled rightly?
All good citizens hope SO, yet 1 think 1
am safe in saying that strict enforce
ment of the prohibition law by the
States will never be accomplished until
the United States government stops is
suing licenses to brewers and to liquor
sellers. And that is equivalent to say
ing, Until Congress passes a national
prohibition law" prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
except for medicinal and mechanical
purposes. Trusting TO the States alone
to prohibit seems like saving at the
Spite hole, while there is great waste at
the bung hole. But National Prohibition
seems a great way off. In the mean
time let the people take courage and
keep at it-never let up. Temperance
people all over the land, even to far
away Honolulu, are becoming aroused to
the evil as they never were before and
demand a strict enforcement. the result
of which is manifest in the determina-
ton of several large brewers on the
main land and several wholesale dealers
in the islands to go out of the business
not on moral grounds, it is true, but
purely from an economic standpoint
The business no longer yields them the
desired profit or they have seen the
handwriting on the wall. Truly, there
is a silver lining to every dark cloud
The dark clouds that have lowered
above and around us SO long are begin
ming to lift. and there is a streak of

Save YOUR HAIR!
Is CENT BOTTLE
STOPS DhNDRUFF
Every bit of dandruf disappears
and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Your hair appears
glossy, abundant, wavy
and beautiful.

Thin, brittle. colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf..
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp which
if not remedied causes the hair root )
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25-cent bottle of KnoWlton,s
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
pllcatlon your hair will take on that
life. lustre and luXuriance which is so
beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an Incompatible gloss and
softness; but what will please YOU
mcSt Will be after just few weeks'
use. when you will actually see lot
of fine. doWny hair-new hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine ara m
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating and life producing prom
critics cause the hair to grow long
strong and beautiful-Ady

Eat no pork or pork products unless
they are cooked if you would be certain
of avoiding trichinosis. This is a warn
ing issued by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, especially to those
who are in the habit Of eating raw ham
or special forms of sausage containing
raw pork and made to be eaten I'M
cooked The records show that the
number of cases of trichinosis-a seri-
ous painful. and often fatal disease re-
sulting from trichinae-increases dur
ing the holidays, partly because Of
hog-killing time and partly because
farmers frequently make up special
forms Of sausage which are eaten with
out cooking.

Shut Out Liquor Advertisind.


AS further evidence of Names deter
mination to drive the liquor trafiic
from her borders. in spite of the or
ganized opposition to prohibition with
in and without the State. an important
bill is to be introduced in the Legisla-
ture this week. This bill, if passed,
will prohibit the exposing for sale OF
amy newspaper, periodical or other
written or printed matter in which any
advertisement in this section specified
shall appear"
The specified advertising is Tor any
sort or form of booze" and the mean
ing is that out-of-State papers or mag
azines cannot go on sale on trains,
newsstands or elsewhere in Maine, II
they carry advertising Of intoxicating
beverage of any sort.
When Maine has thus protected her
self against the makers and sellers OF
drink slop and their advertising in the
press, and the national government has
shut booze advertising Tin circulars and
otherwise out of the L. S. mails, we
shall have taken long stride toward
the safeguarding if our homes and
children.
We believe it is the duty of every
self-respecting member Of the Legisla-
ture to remember his own and his
neighbor's children and vote for this
bill.

That all depends on what they're
rated on-afd you never can tell what
they buy 'em on at these auctions. Now
there's "ole. Blackie"; if we could sell
her on her straight from the-hip hit

some things we reckon she's Of a pretty
large denomination.

Editors Letter Box
Do We Use Enough Milk7

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The high cost of living, or as some
are wont to term it the cost of high
living. affects the farmer as well as the
city dweller. The price of milk. but
ter and cheese is gradually going up.
However, these are product that are
high in digestible food nutrients. Milk
is food that in itself will sustain life.
II is the chief food of the young and
it is believed that larger quantities
could profitably enter into the adults
daily ration. Even at nine or ten
cents a quart, it is the cheapest food
on the market and it can be used in a
variety of ways. Cheese also is high
~ nutritive food, but Canadians look
upon it more as a luxury than food.
ACCORDING to the chemist. one-half
pound contains more of the material
which goes to build up the body and
supply energy than does three-quar-
tiers of a pound of pork chop or beef
steak. However. meat is usually pre-
ferred. Butter is used sparingly In
some homes and there may be cause
for it. when it is quoted at 40 cents
! pound, but it contains ulgestlble tat
and even at the high price is cheaper
! than other articles which we would not
| think of doing without. Authorities
claim that by the use of more milk the
cost of the daily ration could be great
| ~ reduced without any Inconvenience
This being the case. why is not more
milk used?
| At the National Dairy Show many
tlairymen, as well as city people,
stopped to consider a chart in the ex-
hibit of the National Dairy Council
| The weight of several common articles
of diet equal in food nutrients to one
quart of milk was itemized and the
price of each on the retail market was
given. Milk was selling at nine cents
per quart. Chemical analysis shows
that it takes two pounds of chicken to
equal one quart of milk in food, but
chicken was selling at 40 cents pound,
or so cents worth of chicken equalled
nine cents worth of milk. The follow
ing table gives an idea of the weight of
the articles which equal one quart of
milk, and the price in. Springfield dur
ing the week of the show. At other
points the price may be higher or
lower.

Maine GOSSIP
The Days Result.

Is anybody happier because you passed
his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke
to him today?
This day is almost over. and its toiling
time is through; ft-
Is there any one to utter now a kindly
word of you?
Did you give friendly greeting to the
friend who came along,
Or churlish sort of ''howdy' and then
vanish in the thronga
Were you selfish. pure and simple, as you
rushed along your way,
Or is some one mighty grateful for deed
you did today?
Can you say tonight, in parting with the
day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother OF the
many that you passed?
Is single heart rejoicing over what you
did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were fading
now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day or lose it. was it
we'll or poorly spent?
Did you leave trail of kindness or scar
of discomfort?
AS you close your eyes in slumber do you
think that God would say
You have earned one more tomorrow by
the work. you did today?
