THE HEN ORDER.

BOOSTERS are Growing earlier in the
fla ntlv. Even the brooding light brahma
hen is more perverse and determined than
usual The tidings have been heralded
from coop to coop that there is to be no
more slaughter of poultry till after May
list. The average man has not been
maintaining a flock of hens for fun but
ally seemed to him that since the hens
were his, he should have the right to
Kill one occasionally for food. The order
forbidding this has called forth some I'M
printable remarks from many who felt
that they had right to so express them
selves. Besides that, they had been urged
with some earnestness to eat more poul-
try and thus save beef and pork to be
sent overseas The thought does not al
ways occur to us that in crisis like, the
present the man himself and all that he
hath belongs to the country. We pre-
sumo that Mr.. Hoover discovered that his
.bebest to ''eat poultry" had been too gen.
orally observed 1t is an unfortunate fact
chat keeping hens except in small flocks
TO provide eggs for the family. has become
improbable, because of the high cost of
feed Although the price of eggs has at
least doubled, the cost of feed has much
more largely increased. Under this con-
liition a wholesale slaughter of poultry
all over the country followed. AS we
understand it, the reasons for the recent
order to kill no more poultry till May is,
first because from now till that time is
che best egg producing season of the
year, taking the country as a whole
Second, it is believed that by the first of
May The railroad congestion will be re-
aieped, and, as there is plenty of corn and
eoats in the United States, the prices of
feed will be SO much reduced that there
will again be a profit in raising poultry.
Then we shall need all the hens we now
have. Looked at from these points of
view the hen order seems to be prudent

SARSAPARlllA- Effective Spring
Medicine Combination.
As comprised in Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and Peptiron, taken in conjunc-
ton, these valuable remedies possess
unequalled value for the quick relief
Of a long trail Of ailments COM
mon in the Spring season. You know
well the great tonic properties Of
iron. They are much increased and
improved in this combination
Hoods Sarsaparilla before meals
and Peptiron after.
In these days of rushing and push
ing, beyond the endurance of even
the most robust, nearly every man
and woman needs this blood-purify-
ing, cleansing, up-building in the
Spring. If it is not supplied, the
depletion Of the blood and the
broken-down nerves may soon give
way to permanent ill-health.
If a cathartic is needed, as where
there is biliousness or constipation,
Hoods Pills should be taken. They
are purely vegetable, do not irritate,
and work all right with Hoods Sar-
saparilla and Peptiron.

FOOD.

We fear that the slogan, ''food will win
She war" has not yet been given sufficient :
Nv effective heed by one people as unit.
1T is true we have conserved, some of us
by reason of necessity, more of US by
reason of patriotism. 1t may be ques-
toned, however, if we yet realize how
vitality important the food question is In
relation to the successful conduct of the
war. If this war continues through an
other winter, victory will be made pos
sible to either of the two opposing forces
only by numerical strength of armies
well handled, or by the exhaustion OF one
or the other for lack of food. Food is
the foundation of prosperity and content
at home and of success in the war abroad.
Food is primarily more necessary than
ships, or of munitions, because without
food, ships can neither be built nor man
ned, munitions cannot be made nor used
IN fighting. Mr. Hoover has announced
shat there is to be food shortage for the
next 90 days. This is probably DIE, net
to shortage in the supply in the coun-
try. but to the fact that the transporta-
sion trains which are needed to carry the
food to the consumer in the United States,
are Immediately needed to do something
else which is urgently necessary for the
successful prosecution of the war. If
boarding is prevented the coming food
shortage will probably be relieved as pre-
c1icted by Mr. Hoover but we may well
IN axe up our minds that if the war con-
tinues we shall all be on short rations
next winter and the government will not
.oe to blame for it. The food problem is
first question of production. With the
opening of the planting season the work
of solving the production problem must
be begun in earnest. 1t is not now what
men and women wish to do but what
Eheir duty is. And their duty, as far as
food production is concerned, is to plant
and SOW The next duty is to conserve.
Every pound of food saved is pound less
which must be produced. This is not
che time for the loyal man, woman or
child to argue against the necessity of
the production or conservation of food.
We are face to face with condition
(which must be met, and what we have
10 do and the deprivation which we may
have to suffer must be accepted as our
allotted ''bit" towards the protection of
our institutions and our homes

In naming Hon. John A. Morrill, of

Justice George F. Haley, Gov. Milliken
has made no mistake. Judge Morrill, is
62 years of age, has been a member of
she Androscoggin bar for 81 years, and
Us one of the leading lawyers of the
State of Maine. He has had charge of
the last two revisions of our statutes,
and at the time of bis appointment by the
Governor was Judge of Probate for An
droscogain county. II was generally con-
-ceded that the vacancy caused by Judge
Hsiey's death, would be filled by Demo-
cr.t and Judge Morrill, is of that political
Gs,fh. He possesses in high degree the
legal knowledge and the judicial tempera-
ment required in the position to which
he has been called, and seems to US to be
especially fitted to be an Associate JUS

AMERICA TO ENGLAND.

When from its lair beyond the rolling
Rhine
The trampling minions of world conquest
come,
To drag the weaker nations down in
shame
And make them worship at his 'kultur's"
shrine;
You stemmed the onrush of those Prus-
sian swine,
Held back the avalanche of blood and
flame,
So that upon the honor roll your name
As champion of the weak shall ever
shine.
Now from your island look across the
deep
To where your child America awakes;
And rising from her long and peaceful
sleep
The sword of freedom in her hand she
takes,
To help you mother England, as you
sweep
Onward, till vengeance the vile foe
