CURRENT COMMENT
The Price Of Daily Papers.

The Barre Daily Times and The Dali,
Evening Argus have at last seen th'
handwriting on the wall" and RAISED
their price from one TO two cents pei
copy,
They should have done so long ago
and probably, only old newspaper con
tracts, much more favorable than can be
had now, enabled them TO issue three
cent papers az one cent copy
Both are good newspapers, each cover
ing their local field completely.
Both were worth moro than two cents
a copy, and the white paper on which
each Is printed is worth more, to-day,
than their selling price.
We believe neither will lose ten per
cent of present circulation by taking this
advanced step but will both be able to
issue better papers thereby Morrisyilse

LLOYDGEORGE
WON EASILY
His Ministry Sustained in
House of Commons,
293 to LOG
ASQUITH MOTION
DECISIVELY BEATEN
Premier Denied That He
Has Misled the Public
as to the Army

London, May l0.-Premier Lloyd
George and his government have passed
successfully another situation which
threstened TO provoke crisis and the
probable retirement of the ministry. The
government won in the House of Com.
mons when the members by vote Of
293 TO 100 refused to accept the mo.
ton of former Premier Asquith that a
select committee investigate the charges
made by Major General Maurice, The
premier addressed the House and denied
that he or any other minister had mis-.
led the public as to the status of the
British army as charged by the former
chief director of military operations at
the war office.
The quick and decisive manner in
which the Lloyd George ministry dealt
with an unpleasant incident which had
caused more political bitterness than any
preceding chapter of this troubled admin
istration, was brought about by sud.
den change of tactics on the part OF TIE
cabinet. Premier Lloyd George proved
himself a keen, strategic and strong
pleader for his own cause. l@Iie withdrew
the cabinets plan for court of honor
to deal with the charges of Major Zen
eral Maurice which Andrew Bonar TeY
on Tuesday said concerned the honor of
the ministers. The premier made 1t clear
that adoption of former Premier As
quith's motion for select committee to
investigate the matter would he regard
ed as vote of censure which would
be followed by the governments resig
nation.
Mr.. Lloyd George detailed in burning /!
speech his version of the controversy
which Major General Maurice began. The /
debate was brief and the premier's ex
PLANTATION was its dominating feature.

New England's Generous Response to
Liberty Loan.


When the treasury department com
piled its list of cities which have won
honor flags by completing their quotas
for the third Liberty loan, it did not ar.
range them by districts. Had it done so
the list would have shown ID New Eng
land cities out of the 10 of the district
which in 1910 had population of $4,000
and over.
The treasury department list, more
over is incomplete. Federal reserve
bank reports that credited Lawrence and
Pawtucket with subscriptions above 100
per cent and Cambridge, Brockton and
| Lynn may yet Join the majority. But
even on the l3-in-l9 basis the list shows
| New England well ahead of the nations
average. For in the United States as a
whole there were III cities of $4,000
population in 1910 and - of these are
on the treasury honor roll. So New Eng
land, with scant sixth of the cities,
wins n fourth of the flags.
A New England city, Hartford, with
PSI per cent subscribed, won first honors
in all classes. Another New England
city, Portland, with 2l2 per cent. took
second place. Boston, on the basis of its
gross total of subscriptions, before al
ranks first in the metropolitan class.
As each passing day finds more nearly
complete the listing Of the loan returns.
New England's record appears more not
able As a whole, the district oversuh-
scribed by one third, Vermont by mere
than one hall. Connecticut by two-thirds.

for honor flags are in an Insignificant

The newspapers of the country seemed
TO think a few weeks ago that by con.
certed action they could break down the
zone system of postal rates, on second
class matter, involving as it does exceed

for the principle of the zone system could
not defend the awkward and cumber-
some way in which Congress has seen fit
to apply it, But the committee prompt

The people of the United States at the

not be less patriotic, not less insistent in
their determination to carry the war TO
a successful finish. And they would give

nfuse a business spirit into our public

Even then tonic is the right remedy.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the

After-Effects of Fever.

When debility follows acute diseases,
conyalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
OF the grip often results in debility that
persists for months Everybody recog
Mics that the remedy for debility is to
build up the blood, because the blood
goes to every part of the body and an
improvement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system The problem
in every case is to find something that
will enrich the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills suit most PEG.
Piles need because they are on.aleoholie
and they really build up the blood and
strengthen the nerves.

color became better and after ! had tax

My daughter has also used DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills with benefit, and they
built up her strength and gave her a
good color The pills are a fine tonic for
growing girls, and have confidence that
this remedy will do just what is claimed
for It.
Much food that Is eaten il wasted. The
doctrine of the clean plate loses its sig.
nificance if you eat food and do not get
any benefit from L.. Food eaten and not
digested is not only wasted, but you will
be weakened however much you eat.
Notwithstanding our meatless days most
people who are troubled with fatulency
eat more meat than is good for them.
Flatulency is wind on the stomach, Ex-
cessive meat eating or defective nerve
force is responsible in most cases
Cutting down the amount of meat in
your diet and taking course of treat
ment with DIR. Williams Pink Pills to
strengthen the weak nerves that control
the digestive processes is well worth try
ing if you have wind on the stomach,
sour risings in the throat, feeling of
weakness in the stomach and palpitation
of the heart.

KEEPING WELL ON
A WARTIME DIET
Conservation of Health Necessary Now and Even Slight
Digestive Disturbances Should Be Quickly Corrected
and the System Toned Up by Proper Treatment

We are all willing to make whatever
personal sacrifice Is necessary 20 help
win the war, which has become the only
thing in all the world that is really
worth while But loyal compliance
with the orders OF the food administra-
tor may cause temporary disturbance TO
weak stomach unaccustomed 10 the
many substitutes for wheat and while il
is patriotic 10 eat war bread there is no
great amount of usefulness in a dyspep-
tic patriot.
IL is tho duty of each one of us TO ex.
ercise unusual care at this time TO keep
a high standard of health, to use discrim
nation in diet, keep good hours and tone
up our bodies TO the best possible service
We cannot all fare equally well on war
rations, because all people cannot eat the
same things with equally satisfactory re.
suits. II is literally true that what is
one mans food Is another mans poison"
But it is possible to select pleasing
diet from lawful articles of food that
cause no discomfort, and it is possible TO
tone up the digestive organs.
When the stomach lacks tone there is
no quicker way TO restore il than 10
build up the blood. Good digestion with
out rich, red blood is impossible, and Dr.
Williams Pink Pills offer the best way
to build up the blood They also have
direct action on the nerves, and as the
nerves control the processes of digestion,
these pills are especially good in stomach
trouble attended with thin blood and in
nervous dyspepsia

HOW TOWN PEOPLE AID THE
FARMERS.

How the little town of Delhi, sit
uated in the Catskill Mountains in
New York State, is aiding farmers in
the surrounding community in secur-
ing much-needed labor is told by a
representative of the United States
Department of Agriculture, who has
recently returned from an inspection
trip in that district. The local COM
mercial club of Delhi has organized
some of the business men OF the town
who are willing to do farm work af-
ter 8 O'Clock. The farmer who needs
help telephones to the club, and at 3
O'Clock the volunteer workers climb
into automobiles and report to his
farm for half-day's work. About IS
business men are being placed every
day on the farms around Delhi. The
local minister has set the example.
He spends one day helping each OF
the farmers in his congregation.

TOBACCO PATCH ON FIRE PRE-
SENTS UNIQUE SIGHT.

The Dover News tells of an unusal
sight, a patch of growing tobacco on
fire: THE unusual spectacle of a
patch of growing tobacco on fire was
witnessed few days ago on the farm
of August Dietz, just west of Dover
A passing train threw fire into the
tobacco field of Mr.. Dietz and Her.
man Thomas, which caught in the
dry ground leaves of the plants
deadened and dried by the excessive
drought prevailing. The fire spread
from plant to plant and soon would
have reached a large tobacco barn
had it not been discovered and ex-
tinguishej in time. The patch is
perfectly free from grass and weeds
and the tobacco alone furnished fuel
for the spread Of the fire, which had
burned over considerable area before
it was discovered
