some surprise and considerable inter-
est. With surprise because Mr.. Walker
has already been honored with three
successive terms in the Senate; with
interest because OF the reason, more or

gives for asking for a fourth term. If
he had frankly said: Boys. | have been

ception, for this is a free country. And
if he could get the votes he would cor
tainly be entitled to the office. When,
however. he bases his candidacy upon
the claims, express or implied. which
appear in his letter. one might be par
doned for making some comment,
Mr.. Walker says. in effect, that he
has been waiting FOR men Of integrity
and backbone to come forward as
candidates for the Senate in somerset

must consent to hc a candidate fol

Uric Acid in Meat

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than

We are advised to dress warmly: keep

rheumatism is a direct result of
| eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which is
absorbed INTO the blood. 1t is the
function Of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it M in
the urine: the pores of the skin ara
also a means Of freeing the blood of
this impur!ty. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed.

Open Letter to Food Administrator

SPCb 1CNtGi w WV
Editor of Kennebec Journal:
Seeing the letter OF a late journal
prompts me to ask u few questions OF
the Food Administrator. | am not a
Stacker neither am | disloyal to my
country. / have q food lard and am
saving all l can. But-do these things
seem just right: They ask you to con-
serve wheat and either buy corn meal.
etc, which cost much more than flour;
they ask YOU to eat more cereal which
has advanced very much in price: they
ask you to use molasses, syrup, honey
instead OF sugar, which also is very
much more expensive. Now, please
tell me how the people of moderate
means or the poor class of people a
do this and really have enough to nouI-
ish their bodies as they should be
nourished.
People VINO have plenty of money can
use these substitutes, but how about
the other two classes" Have we ever
given that a good full thought?
Another thing, the rural class Of peo-
pie have been without sugar months.
The country stores have none and if
YOU go into a city OF nearby village
even though sugar is there you get
none. Are these things just and fair?
These whcatlcss meals and days are
all very We'll, but do we feel justified
in going without flour foods when it is
officially known that 50 millions bush
els OF barley. Is millions bushels of
corn and three million bushels of rice
were used in making beer in this u
try in 1916" This would make bread
enough for many hungry homes. viii
beer help save, and help win our war"
If the above amount had been saved in
1916 what would it have meant today?
l fully realize this is not an easy
problem for the government to handle
when it is nearly crushed with other
burdens, but-the American people
can't starve and some poor families are
having it very hard. I can hear the
reply, the farmer ought to get along all
right, for eggs aud butter are high.
Let US see, last fail grain advanced SO
in price the farmer could not afford to
Keep his hens, 50 he sold them-yoli
will find this true in many localities.
He takes his dairy butter to the city or
y~illage-no sale for butter. Then last
summer the weather conditions were
such his harvest Of vegetables was
much. smaller than forlner years. Yes,
the farmer is living in luxury. He
can't get any sugar, has to pay nearly
twice as much for corn meal rs for
flour: cost nearly three times as much
to use other sweets in place of sugar.
r1.t. fro,, tr-o ~ t1roo fitloS AZ y11Irh
to grain stock-yes, the rural farmer Is
having it easy. J would like to have
the Food Administrator look into this
matter more seriously; just put himse'f
in the rural mans place and he'd GER
tainly see these things as | do and |
voice the minds Of thousand or others.

Among tie communities in Germany
where strikes have beer reported is
the city of Spandau, near Berlin. At
Spandau is the famous Julius Tower
where the German war chest was kept.
TIE nucleus of the fund, according 10
tradition, was the huge Indemnity
WrunS from the conquered French in
ISL and to it We're added, from time
to time, other large sums Of gold
probably exaggerated. 1t is fair to
assume that the war chest at Spaudan
is now much depleted, if not wholly
exhausted; SO that a strike there will
involve no danger on that score. But
that strike should occur beneath the
shadow Of the julius Tower is almost
as ominous az if one had taken place
beneath the windows of the palace at
Potsdam.
